I am reserving judgement on this for four reasons.

1. It is the WaPo.

2.

3. It's a bombshell (that is not exactly a bombshell since the agreements were never executed if they actually existed in the first place) that drops the day before Thanksgiving. No real bombshell drops the day before Thanksgiving.

4. The Ukrainian Prosecutor General mentioned in the story is the same guy that was hired by the former Ukrainian President Petroshenko to replace the prosecutor that was fired by Poroshenko after former VP Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1,000,000,000 in US AID.

This story has bigger holes in it that the Titanic, and even if it is true, is Giuliani getting paid by the Ukrainian government (which he never actually was according to the story) a problem as long as he reports it? IIRC Manafort's crime was not that he worked as a political consultant for former Ukrainian president Yanovich, but that he did not report the income.
