By the way, Rudy is admitting to manufacturing White House logos and sticking them on non-White House documents and pushing the real government to act on them.

Rudy admits to CNN he passed the packet of Ukraine conspiracy theories and attacks on a U.S. ambassador to Pompeo. "They (the State Department) told me they would investigate it."

Josh, are you inferring that from his statement that he's responsible for the packet, or is he literally saying he sat down and drew "White House" in the upper left?

He’s admitted to passing the packet to Pompeo. I don’t know who exactly worked the photoshop, but the presidents lawyer gave it the Secretary of State and this was not an official WH document.

To be this incompetent is impressive. It's sort of like getting every single question wrong on a long standardized exam--in order to do that, you almost have to know the correct answers.

No, I don't actually think Trump and Giuliani are engaged in a conspiracy to bring down the Republican Party. But damn are they shockingly inept.

Trump is trying to destroy the whole government, and traditional Republicans are part of it.

The Trump team want us to have a government run by oligarchs, like in Russia.

I think Teri Kanefield's analysis is spot on.

It sounds like someone wants everyone to believe that the WhiteHouse was not involved in passing this info to the State Deoartment. If the WhiteHouse was involved, that is more evidence of impeachment. Using the powers of the Government to investigate a political rival.

If Rudy G, passed this info, why are we saying the WhiteHouse Logo therefore must be a fake?

Not buying this at all.

And Trump himself is not the "White House."

Rudy only represents Trump the person, and businessman.

He does NOT represent the President, or the White House. So to send the packet to the US government -- the State Department -- as if it was coming from the President or White House is wrong.

It was only coming from Rudy,, the reprsentative of Trump, the lying liar who owns the hotels.
