Congressional Democrats have subpoenaed President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, for documents and other evidence in ‘two politically-motivated investigations’ – one of which they say constitutes election interference in next year’s US election.
The subpoena was not unexpected.
In a Monday letter from House Committee Chairs Adam Schiff (D-CA), Eliot Engel (D-NY) and Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Giuliani is ordered to hand over “text messages, phone records, and other communications,” related to his communications with the government of Ukraine, which Trump and Giuliani have admitted to asking for an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
“The Committees are investigating the extent to which President Trump jeopardized national security by pressing Ukraine to interfere with our 2020 election and by withholding security assistance provided by Congress to help Ukraine counter Russian aggression, as well as any efforts to cover up these matters,” reads the letter.
“Our inquiry includes an investigation of credible allegations that you acted as an agent of the President in a scheme to advance his personal political interests by abusing the power of the Office of the President,” the letter continues. “A growing public record, including your own statements, indicates that the President, you, and others appear to have pressed the Ukrainian government to pursue two politically-motivated investigations.”
The letter points to a September 19 CNN interview in which Giuliani admits “of course” he asked Ukraine to look into Biden – who openly bragged about withholding $1 billion in US loan guarantees unless they fired a prosecutor investigating a company whose board Hunter Biden sat on to the tune of $600,000 per year.

The letter also notes more recent statements by Giuliani that he is “in possession of evidence – in the form of text messages, phone records, and other communications – indicating that you were not acting alone and that other Trump Administration officials may have been involved in this scheme.”

No different than the activities covered by COL House for Woodrow Wilson and Harry Hopkins for FDR……..Why not ask about Valerie Jarrett and her activities with La Raza and the “change of legislative” personnel in Honduras, El Salvador and other environs in “centro America”
The first thing to remember is that there are no rules in this “game”….the Left/DeepState are going for it all or die trying. Anything that slows down Rudy, gives him concern over an obstruction charge (which is a lock) will be done. This is a so far “white” or bloodless coup, though Seth Rich might beg to differ and the life expectancy of the Ukrainian prosecutor is declining rapidly.
Dems are hiding massive corruption….so DJT should strike for the head of the snake….What did Backdoor Barry know and when did he know it about Biden, Hillary, Spygate, Billions in Cash for Iran…and on and on and on….remember offense is the best defense for the Dems/DeepState…..keep Trump tied up with investigations and impeachment and he can’t get anything done and won’t be able to investigate their crimes!
Like clockwork the “It wasn’t Trump’s fault he couldn’t get anything accomplished” comments are starting, before the Orange Fuck has even left office.
No surprise who they are coming from either.
Trump reads the teleprompter, he doesn’t investigate shit and never has.
TDS is strong with you….so, what does JFK have to say about all of this?
I see you make post after post, referring to the deep state as only a democrat or leftwing construct. Are you a fucking partisan hack? Deep state is bipartisan. Wake up man!
Seeing outside of the two-party paradigm is a difficult task. It can take years for people like you to break their conditioning and see the political system for the rigged game that it is. Red team and blue team belong to the same owners. Heads they win, tails we lose.
Martel is part Russian troll, part general disinformation artist.
question 4 you attys on this site–
can they force an atty to give info about his client w/o a court order?
It’s all fluff & stuff from the left , they have nothing but their own guilt to crawl under for cover so now they will scurry about like cats covering up shit , lie and fabricate false accusations in a laundry list of ways in the hope some shit will stick . Most will blow back
While tempted to wish Rudy would tell the House to Eat Schiff, and not comply, he’s obligated to appear and testify, I suppose.
But. He issued a taunt in late September. “Come after me” to them lying, corrupt SOBs.
And so, they’re coming.
Hope he has deep pockets, or can minimize damage, both financial and reputational, as they drag him through the swamp, with the equally corrupt MSM helping the lying narrative push with every clarion call.
I’m expecting Rudy to fire back at the House lynch mob just as well, if not better than Cory Lewandowski did. Push back, G.
Ought to be a sound bite spectacle for the audience, sure.
Are you not entertained?
There’s so much dirty laundry that’s getting aired, D.C.’s funky smog levels might eclipse the haze covering L.A., Tokyo, and Shanghai combined.
Cough, hack, and choke on it, deplorables.
Then pay the astronomical bill so the sick care industry can profit, or book a coping session with your shrinks, so the mental health advisory industry can continue flourishing.
Rome-II is burning.
Sound the fire alarm.
See, more than 1 emperor exists, and the nakedness of no clothing is butt fugly.
Would love to see Bugeyed go down in flames, besides Hairplug One, to borrow a jab from Schlick.
Keep the popcorn. Pass the platter of grapes, with the prosciutto, and cubes of cheese and crackers.
Zat my cheese?
No, that’s not yo’ cheese.
