Giuliani consulted on Ukraine with imprisoned Paul Manafort via a lawyer

In his quest to rewrite the history of the 2016 election, President Trump’s personal attorney has turned to an unusual source of information: Trump’s imprisoned former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Rudolph W. Giuliani in recent months has consulted several times with Manafort through the federal prisoner’s lawyer in pursuit of information that would bolster his theory that the real story of 2016 is not Russian interference to elect Trump, but Ukrainian efforts to support Hillary Clinton.

The alliance, which Giuliani acknowledged in an interview this week with The Washington Post, stems from a shared interest in a narrative that undermines the rationale for the special counsel investigation. That inquiry led to Manafort’s imprisonment on tax and financial fraud allegations related to his work in Kiev for the political party of former president Viktor Yanukovych.

Giuliani’s effort is gaining traction on Capitol Hill. Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, have announced their renewal of an inquiry into any coordination between Ukraine and Democratic Party officials.

2. Lol ironic that 2016 would be the demise of all those tied to this administration

Hillary must be quite amused the Dumpster sent his minions scattered around the globe to dig for unfounded dirt on his potential challenger. Its the ellusive WMDs all over again. The repugs dont ever learn do they? Poetic justice?

3. "renewal of an inquiry into any coordination between Ukraine and Democratic Party officials."

So who knows how many in the GOP, threaten to withhold money from Ukraine to get dirt, and Assley wants to open an investigation of Democrats.

4. In the Interest of Efficiency,

wouldn't it be better to put Trump and all his employees in the same prison? They could talk to each other much more easily!

8. All the people who were part of doing this

Including Manifort will face charges for this, plus add the cover up and obstruction, and these people can be co-conspirators involved , and face criminal legal jeopardy . Republicans backing trump are in serious trouble from this also, and they'll be destroying any re-election chances from qbacking foreign involvement to interfere in our elections. Karma meet trump and the GOP. It's coming, and fast. They know this can't continue any longer with trump. Watch the rats jumping this sinking ship very soon.

9. What help could Ukraine be to the Democrats?

The barely function as a country. If it wasn't for their strategic location the rest of the world would ignore them instead of continuing to prop them up.
