Rudy Giuliani points the finger at Kurt Volker after Sondland throws him under the bus

Published 2 mins ago on November 20, 2019

By Travis Gettys

Rudy Giuliani blamed the former special envoy to Ukraine for the legal predicament he could be facing from EU ambassador Gordon Sondland’s testimony.

President Donald Trump was placed at the center of the Ukraine scandal by Sondland and former envoy Kurt Volker, who testified Tuesday that he rejected conspiracy theories pushed by Giuliani about Joe Biden.

Sondland told lawmakers Wednesday that Trump directed diplomats and other officials to “talk to Rudy” about negotiating the release of Ukraine military aid in exchange for an investigation of Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

Giuliani then pointed his finger at Volkery, who left the government last month as the scandal erupted into an impeachment inquiry, after joining the State Department in July 2017.

I came into this at Volker’s request. Sondland is speculating based on VERY little contact. I never met him and had very few calls with him, mostly with Volker.

Volker testified I answered their questions and described them as my opinions, NOT demands. I.E., no quid pro quo!

Trump's got no one.

The GOP may argue Sondland did not hear something directly from Trump.
But WH folks have been saying they were ordered from the top to stop the aid.
A number have testified that Senators were calling Trump about the aid so Trump had to know the aid was stopped and why..
Can't blame that on Rudy or the three Amigos ...

What he should be scared of is the people who'll turn on him and have others come and silence him, like trump , putin ,the russian mafia. trump will turn on him i a second , and he know this. He'll talk to keep out of prison, but he'll keep on lying and end up there anyway. Rudy has loose lips.

Republican lawyer doesn’t do his own research and preparation, and is instead picking up Democrat lies, shame.

Allow me to inform him: I have NO financial interests in Ukraine, NONE! I would appreciate his apology.
