I’m gonna laugh my ass off the day that Biden just comes out and says that he was never actually running, that he just did that to be the decoy to tempt them into committing multiple felonies, and distract them from going after the other Dems.

At this point, anything coming out of another nation on any of Trump’s perceived enemies would be suspect to point of being laughable. Why do they bother? They might just as well make shit up out of whole cloth for the good it’ll do them with anyone but their cultists.

This is precious. Good ol’ Paulie has such nice friends.

One Ukrainian MP who is pushing for the commission’s creation is Oleg Voloshyn, a former foreign ministry official who worked with Paul Manafort while he was a political consultant in the fledgling Eastern European nation.

It’s not so much a matter of finding Biden corruption (which doesn’t exist in this case) as it is finding enough corrupt people hungry for power or profit who will manufacture what looks like corruption sufficient for the purposes of Trump and Rudy.

There is something wrong with Rudy. Does he think his close friends in the NYFBI office are going to cover for him? It boggles the mind how insane his actions are.

Telizhenko told TPM Thursday that he had decided to “pay [his] respects to the former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani”…

Yeah, I would love to pay my respects to Giuliani, too, but I’ll have to wait until my next bout of dysentery.

The law does not matter to trump or his loyal thugs…err…minions. Especially when that law is inconvenient. Like the one about foreign influence in American elections.
