Elie honig. and alisyn camerota also. rudy giuliani is in ukraine meeting with some of the same people. this impeachment investigation is largely in part due to rudy giuliani messing around with ukrainians trying to get them to investigate joe biden. the fact he is there on the eve of impeachment shows you that perhaps hes not cowed by this. that he just doesnt care. >> hes not easily deterred. my mind goes back to the piece of testimony from sondland when he said everyone was in the loop. so ma...
