Lawyers: Rudy Giuliani Tweet on Ukraine Amounts to the ‘Smokingest of Guns,’ a ‘Confession’

Rudy Giuliani, just before announcing the hiring of criminal defense attorneys on Wednesday, once again admitted on Twitter that the “investigation” he conducted with regard to Ukraine was done in the interests of his client, President Donald Trump.

✔@RudyGiuliani
The investigation I conducted concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption, was done solely as a defense attorney to defend my client against false charges, that kept changing as one after another were disproven.​

​

He just... tweeted it out.

Well at least it wasn't an illegal shadow government. It was just an illegal abuse of power.

The immediate reaction to the Giuliani statement was that it completely undercuts the defense that what Trump demanded of Ukraine — investigations of the Bidens and of the CrowdStrike conspiracy theory — was done in the interests of the United States. Instead, Giuliani said the role he played in this was done “solely as a defense attorney to defend my client against false charges.”

The responses from constitutional lawyers, published in the article are not supportive of Trump.

Is Rudy going to cover for Trump the way Michael Cohen did. I don't think so.

Donald Trump can't defend himself against false allegations?

Donald Trump can't defend himself against false allegations?

Even if the allegations were false, no he can’t abuse his office to smear someone else in retaliation, no.

Who here among us hasn't taken some office supplies from work for a child's art project, or withheld military aid from an ally (whose soldiers are dying) for personal gain?
