Rudy Giuliani was a great mayor and a great leader…

No, he was neither. His current behavior doesn’t surprise anyone from NY, certainly.

“It turns out that the former mayor’s own personal business interests are wrapped up in all of this. To put it simply he’s been trying to enrich himself on the back of his relationship with President Trump”

As opposed to Trump’s own behavior of using the presidency to enrich himself.

I would suggest Steve Hilton is leading the charge to establish Rudy as Trump’s scapegoat in all things Ukraine.

As mayor of New York Guiliani managed to get rid of the homeless … and nobody knows where 30,000 of them went. Soylant Green, perhaps?

Then after 9/11 Guiliani proposed that the mayorality election be cancelled and that he be the permanent mayor.

Nothing has changed.

Sounds like the party line has been agreed and the mouthpieces have been directed to promulgate it. Perhaps Trump thinks he can fire enough people that he ends up looking clean.

Trump never paid him. Soon we’ll here that Rudy was calling himself Trump’s lawyer, but it wasn’t really true. He was operating on his own.

Trump has already declared he doesn’t know what exactly Rudy was up to in Ukraine, and that Rudy has other clients, so whatever he was doing, by inference, may very well have been in their service, not Trump’s.

There’s always someone late to the party who insists on pissing in the punch bowl. I’m sure Current Occupant hardly knows this guy.
