Giuliani to Testify to Senate Judiciary Committee

I'll believe it when I see it.

Giuliani to Testify to Senate Judiciary Committee
October 8, 2019 at 10:42 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he would allow Rudy Guiliani to come before the panel to “inform the committee of his concerns,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Tweeted Graham: “Given the House of Representatives’ behavior, it is time for the Senate to inquire about corruption and other improprieties involving Ukraine.”

not to testify too by don the con. That is what is being done, decline going to Congress. These thugs who don't comply need to be rounded up and put in prison.

Giuliani is a loose cannon and he will spill some beans he's not supposed to spill, in my opinion.

"Let's get back to the events of 2016. Are you aware that the prosecutor Viktor Shokin had a reputation in Ukraine of being corrupt?"

"Are you aware that the US government, 26 other countries and the IMF described Shokin as an obstacle in the fight against corruption in Ukraine?"

"Out of those 27 countries calling for Shokin to be fired, who was the highest-ranking member of the US government who called for Shokin to be fired?"

"Are you aware the present prosecutor-general of Ukraine has delcared that the investigation had not found any wrongdoing on behalf of Hunter Biden?"

"Why would Joe Biden push for the firing of a corrupt prosecutor who failed to prosecute his son?"

Put the House Dems on trial for doing their duty.
Fully air the Ukraine Conspiracy for all America to hear, providing nightly counter-programming for Fox.
Repeat every lie and smear about Comey, Strozk, McCabe, etc.

I do believe Harris will get to ask questions, however.
