Rudy-colludy: “Do you honestly think I’m intimidated?”

So much deflection, so little time. First group from State Department FOIA document dump contains some of the contacts Giuliani was making, as the walls close in on Rudy. Remember that these are documents that the State Department refuses to release to Congress. This group includes documentation for the smear campaign against the US Ambassador to Ukraine promoted by the Shreks.

The Mafia couldn’t kill me so NO, I am not worried about the swamp press!

Giuliani in interview on Fox News says he isn’t afraid of getting indicted then adds, “I did the right thing. I represented my client in a very very effective way.”

What Blackmail?

WOW: @RudyGiuliani seems to suggest he has dirt that would prevent TRUMP from turning on him: “I’ve seen things written like ‘he is going to throw me under the bus.’ When they say that, I say ‘he isn’t, but I have insurance.”

RUDY GIULIANI also accuses LEV PARNAS of lying about his interactions with TRUMP, his work for Rudy & whether @DevinNunes met with SHOKIN, suggesting he's trying to get a deal.

March 28th Pompeo requests to speak to Giuliani. What happened that day if anything?

He's also talking to Nunes on the same day. Pg 47

Still, questions linger. There are facts not contested by Republicans or Democrats:

The Trump administration never contacted Interpol about any issue regarding corruption at Burisma generally or Hunter Biden specifically.

The Trump administration never initiated a Justice Department investigation of this matter.

The pre-Zelensky Prosecutor General in Ukraine, Yuriy Lutsenko, was corrupt.

Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, peddled falsehoods from Lutsenko to smear the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.

Trump-appointed officials tried to impress on Trump that the incoming Zelensky administration was not corrupt and faced persistent resistance.

Portions of congressionally appropriated military aid totaling $391 million are suspended, and no one in Trump’s national security/diplomatic universe could find out why – except officials from the Office of Management and Budget who said the order came from Trump via acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.

Zelensky “desperately” wanted an Oval Office meeting with Trump. Still does.

In two calls with Zelensky, Trump never mentioned long-standing U.S. efforts to reduce corruption in Ukraine.

SCOOP: The head of Naftogaz, Ukraine’s state gas firm, told me he is ready to testify against Rudy Giuliani in a federal investigation in New York. https://t.co/U1MJT6Hs7P My impression from our interview: He was practically giddy at the chance. More details next week @TIME
