Rudy Giuliani To Bartiromo: ‘Can’t Say 100%’ That Trump Didn’t Threaten Ukraine Aid In Biden Call
Donald Trump is in trouble, and he appears to know it.
While there's certainly some poetic justice in the fact that Ukraine is at the heart of the latest calls for impeachment, and while there is a link to the 2016 election, that the president would have survived the Mueller probe only to be brought down by a comparatively petty demand that Volodymyr Zelensky re-launch the Burisma probe, is absurd and speaks to Trump's penchant for pushing the envelope at every possible opportunity.
Rudy Giuli
Lot’s of bad precedents not being set…..in the interest of ignoring the Constitutional demand for checks and balances.
This administration has jumped the shark.
Cut to Trump saying he’d love to release the transcript — it’s a beautiful transcript, 100%, the gold standard. The best, the best. Some people who have been doing this a very long time say they’ve never seen more airtight transcript, okay? But you know the lawyers — they don’t want me to do it.
“I told them I want the American people to see this — they should see it. It was a very proper and perfect conversation. But then the lawyers got together and they came to me said, ‘Sir, we can’t release this. It would set a bad precedent for future Administrations.’ “And I said what do I care about that? This is a democracy, but they said ‘no, it’s too much, Sir, it’s too much,’ so what are you going to do? I guess we’ll have to see, but believe me this is not how I would do it. It’s too bad.
