Rudy Giuliani Plans Ukraine Trip to Push for Inquiries That Could Help Trump



trump to Zelensky:

"Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you."


if everything was above board and this was purely government business, why is there no record of it?

why was it never announced?

why was the "perfect" phone call buried on an off-the-books server?

why was his personal attorney the point man and insisting this was personal, not professional?

If the money was frozen with legit conditions placed on Zelensky to investigate corruption, why was it immediately unfrozen after the whistle blowers report, despite Zelensky not meeting any of those conditions?
