He was acting as Trump’s personal attorney vis a vis Trump’s impeachment, since Trump as a US citizen has a right to representation and defence when being politically impugned.
The letter was sent last may, prior to impeachment proceedings, prior to the whistleblower. Is your position that Giuliani is a time-traveling lawyer?
How do you know which “investigation” Giuliani was referring to in the New York Times report?
Giuliani’s words were: “We’re not meddling in an election, we’re meddling in an
investigation, which we have a right to do,” Giuliani told The Times when asked whether by going to Ukraine and pressing for the inquiry he was inviting foreign interference in the 2020 election.
The NYT are surmising that Giuliani was there to did up dirt on Biden’s son and Burisma. However, the Mueller report had been released at the time of the letter and the testimony of Mueller before Congress happened later in July. There was talk of Trump not being exonerated on obstruction charges. Barr stated “that’s not what the Justice Department does” and that neither he nor Rosenstein had reviewed the underlying evidence in the report. In July, Mueller testified to Congress that a president could be charged with crimes including obstruction of justice after they left office.
Perhaps what Giuliani was looking for was evidence on Crowdstrike or some other Ukrainian involvement in setting up the Russia Collusion hoax, to mitigate Mueller’s allegations? Julian Assange told a U.S. congressman in 2017 that he could prove the leaked Democratic Party documents he published during the election did not come from Russia. Crowdstrike had virtual and complete access to the DNC server and their word alone was accepted by the FBI as the evidence that triggered the collusion narrative. Trump referenced the Crowdstrike server when he spoke to the Ukrainian President and the individuals who founded and ran the Crowdstrike company were Ukrainians.
By the way, there is a great deal of overlap between Crowdstrike and the Area 1 operatives who are now alleging the Russians hacked Burisma, to continue the Russia collusion with Trump hoax.
