Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-SC) invited Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani to come testify in front of the committee about his recent trip to Ukraine.
Graham made the remarks during an interview on “Face the Nation” Sunday, saying the testimony could be handled separately from the impending impeachment trial.
“Rudy, if you want to come and tell us what you found, I’ll be glad to talk to you,” Graham said. “We can look at what Rudy’s got and Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and anything else you want to look at after impeachment. But if Rudy wants to come to the Judiciary Committee and testify about what he found, he’s welcome to do so.”
It’s unclear what findings Giuliani thinks he collected while in Ukraine recently, but it’s believed that he’s been peddling more fake conspiracies about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Giuliani’s initial efforts in Ukraine are the foundation of the House’s impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
I am all for Giuliani testifying in the Senate… as long as Schiff gets to ask the questions for the prosecution.
It isn’t going to happen. Guliani will testify under oath only at the threat of being charged with contempt of court.
Guliani’s attorney is no doubt telling Guliani to stay far away from this proposition.
Still, now that he’s said this, Graham should be in full support of Guliani testifying at Trump’s impeachment trial. After all, we’re pursuing the truth here, aren’t we? Guliani is so bollixed up by his hubris that he’s certain to make a mockery of Trump’s defense.
The conservatives are determined to turn the Impeachment into a circus. They can’t get the Biden’s to grill relentlessly for information totally irrelevant to impeachment so they find another route- the Giuliani circus route.
Republicans are fine with stating Trump was correct in withholding crucial military aid to an ally, essentially because he was upset Hunter Biden was (allegedly) improperly compensated for work for a single (allegedly) corrupt company in a nation that to hear Trump tell it is full of corrupt companies.
WTF would people say if Trudeau refused to sign the new trade agreement because Colgate-Palmolive was under review for illegal stock manipulation? That’s all he cared about, shenanigans by just that one company? Look into that and come down on them hard and we have a deal.
