Giuliani says he met with Ukrainian official to discuss Biden

Note: I believe this post concerns the general election rather than the primaries. If I'm wrong, please feel free to move it or shut it down.

Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday that he had spoken with a Ukrainian official about Joe Biden's possible role in that government's dismissal of a prosecutor who investigated Biden's son.

The move shows the former New York mayor is making a renewed push for the country to investigate President Donald Trump's political enemies. Giuliani, who serves as Trump's personal attorney, has long lobbied Ukraine to investigate the former vice president's call in 2016 to remove the country' top prosecutor, who at one point had been investigating a Ukrainian natural gas company connected to Biden's son, Hunter.

Other Western governments also called for that prosecutor's dismissal, and no evidence has indicated Biden's move was inappropriate.

Hahahaha Of course not. Not even close.

As I see it, Trump has cost the republican party it's right to moral judgement. Democrats now have license to only thrust a thumb in DJT's general direction and say "go fuck yourselves".
