On top of that, Giuliani and his associate Lev Parnas had a side project to advance US energy interests in Ukraine, an effort that was largely left out from Trumpβs first impeachment trial.

What were Rudy Giuliani and Lev Parnas doing in Ukraine?
To understand Trumpβs current Ukraine policy one needs to remember how his private attorney Rudy Giuliani ran a pressure campaign on the newly-elected Zelensky for the benefit of Donald Trump. Learn more here: youtu.be/b3z4-ULiW2o?...

It all started with Erdogan wanting to have a $20 BILLION money laundering and bribery case (in which Erdogan is directly implicated) dismissed. During Trumpβs first term Erdogan deployed clandestine envoys, including Rudy Giuliani, to persuade Trump to intervene in the case.

Will Trump obstruct justice for Erdogan and intervene in the Halkbank case?
As Donald Trump hosted Turkish President Erdogan at the White House last Friday and mentioned the Halkbank case, I just wanted to remind everybody whatβs the story behind it.

With every attempt to silence his critics with lawsuits and intimidation, with every firing of those who sought to uphold the constitution, with every attack on the rule of law, with every lie that he posts as a βtruthβ, we step perilously closer to an autocracy of Donald Trumpβs making.

Are you fu**ing kidding me? That douche, really??? All Giuliani had to do was to get into a car accident to get a medal of freedom. He is not a patriot. He sold America out to autocrats during Trumpβs first term and then tried to overthrow a democratic election.

Trump suggests hosting pre-midterm GOP convention
The president's message comes just a day after Axios reported that senior Democratic officials were considering a similar move.
First demanding states redistrict in an attempt to gain republican seats, and now recommending a Republican national convention just before the midterms? Trump is clearly scared shitless of accountability, as he is going to great lengths to win the mid term elections

Trump the Chump
While Trump rushed for photo ops in Alaska, Putin ran the show
Once again, Donald Trump is trying to market his own version of reality, making himself look like a winner instead of the chump that he is, but even a blind person can see that he is being played like a violin.

President Trump Announces Appointments to the Homeland Security Advisory Council | Homeland Security
President Donald J. Trump and Secretary Noem appointed new members to the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).
Curious whatβs #RudyGiuliani up to nowadays? Heβs been appointed as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council.
That same Giuliani, who had sold out U.S. foreign policy and tried to twist the U.S. legal system for the benefit of foreign autocrats and criminals.
