Trump throws Rudy under the bus (We all knew he would)

RUDY WHO?

There it is ... the “it wasn’t me” defense.

Trump Denies Sending Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine for Biden Probe

LISTEN: President Trump is now distancing himself more than ever from lawyer Rudy Giuliani, claiming he did not direct Giuliani to act on his behalf in Ukraine in a new interview with Bill O'Reilly.
AUDIO:

Link to tweet

This is crazy. In his call with Zelensky, when he was pressuring the Ukrainian president to launch investigations of the Bidens & the crazy debunked server conspiracy theory, @realDonaldTrump noted Zelensky & his people should talk to Giuliani & Barr.

The hold happened.
The phone calls happened.
Mulvany (Chief of Staff) said it happened.

Somebody did those things. That somebody would be tRump.

Giuliani didn't make that phone call.
Giuliani didn't put the hold on the taxpayer-funded Congressionally approved aid to Ukraine.

tRump did it.

tRump should pay the penalty for that crime: impeachment in House and conviction in the Senate.

Rudy has known tRump for years so he knew how he operates. He is a cheat, a thug and a low life.

Gotta follow the money. 💸💸💸 What do ya wanna bet every single one of the Yahoos that got in bed with tRump needed money and lots of it?? 💰💰💰 All are getting screwed, one by one and all are thinking tRump won’t throw them under the bus. Until he does. tRump will turn on all of them because he has no conscience. No heart. No soul.

They knew darn well he was a snake — before they took him in.
