ukrainian oligarch with ties to the russian mob, so they were, i think, trying to effectuate this really corrupt trade where they would get information from this ukrainian oligarch, manufactured dirt about joe biden that s not true, supply it to rudy giuliani who would supply it to the president of the united states, and in return, they were going to try to deliver for this ukrainian oligarch who is under indictment some kind of dismissal from the justice department or some kind of way for him to get out of his case. it is as corrupt as you can be and now you have both of them under indictment and rudy giuliani under investigation. you know, look, these aren t the first members of donald trump s legal team to go to jail. obviously, his former personal attorney went to jail. and i think you re right, if i were them, though, i would be much more scared of offending this ukrainian oligarch with ties to the russian mob than i would be federal prosecutors. matt miller, mimi rocah, thank y

statement that rudy giuliani s not welcome here anymore. yeah, well, first of all, mimi s exactly right. it was the justice department implicitly confirming what they can t explicitly say which is that rudy giuliani is the subject of an investigation. they can t say that because their rules prohibit them from saying that but they re letting everyone know that s why they wouldn t have taken this meeting. i think the problem for the department in taking this meeting in the first place, rudy is a walking conflict of interest. when he comes in and meets with the justice department you don t know who he s speaking for. is he speak on behalf of the client who he s there ostensibly representing or is he speaking on behalf of his other client the president of the united states? we saw where he basically took over the state department, running the off the books foreign policy operation for the president where state department employees were expected to report to rudy giuliani and take direc
