Well, he never met any of them, so he wouldn't know.

What the fuck is up with ol' Rudes? He spent all that time in Ukraine, as a representative of the Predniset (according to him), and never met any of the official diplomats, apart from Sondland? Wait, has he denied meeting Sondland? Yet?

Presumes sentience not in evidence.

Re your final question: No, but I'm getting there.

He mis-spelled "moron".

It's like the Streisand effect, only this time the whiny little bitch gets what he wants, not the opposite.

Well, now we don't have to go down to the banana republic, it's come to us. I think it's a shame we don't get the tropical sun, although give climate change a few more years and we might not notice the difference.

Oh, that incorrigible scamp Rudy. The latest I heard, read and saw about him, he was claiming (on Fox News, to Ed Henry) that he had a safe full of dirt on the Bidens proving how crooked they are and how neck deep in Ukraine corruption, and that he was keeping it in reserve as life insurance, to be exposed in case he should disappear, because "they're going to kill me."He was so incoherent it wasn't clear if by "they" he meant the Bidens or the Fake News Main Stream Media. It doesn't matter at all to anybody with a rational streak, of course. He doesn't have a skerrick of evidence of four decades of criming crookery on the Bidens' part and he's in no danger of being murdered or "disappearing." That is noisy grandstanding for the benefit of Donald Trump's hard core supporters and rally attendees, intended to play to them and only to them -- the mugs who believe Barack Obama was born in Kenya and the Clintons are running their own Murder, Incorporated. They'll believe him at once. Nobody else will.Oh, and he made tough guy Edward G Robinson in "I Am the Law," noises about the way he cleaned up the Mafia and reduced violent crime to nothing in New York decades ago, because naturally he did.Such a scamp!

The GOP's commitment to backing Trump's obvious falsehoods is going to get someone hurt or killed.

And, y'know, if you have this 'evidence' why keep it behind a Dead Man's Switch? An honest person would expose that corruption and not keep it secret based on contingency.

I think so too.

Thanks for the high-school memories of hanging out at the beach after dark, drinking beer and listening to this and other Jimmy Buffett albums (the boyfriend was a fan).

Rudy's main project has been to rehabilitate Shokin, Lutsenko, and Telizhenko so they can serve as credible witnesses against Joe Biden.

Among the lines they're working here is the idea that this matters. Even if every word they're belching and screaming about the Bidens could be true, there are legitimate ways to get an investigation going. Chief among which is involving the FBI. Alternatively, you could send someone other than the president's personal lawyer to talk to the Ukrainians.

What isn't legitimate is:

1) Screaming that you didn't do anything;

2) Screaming after you're busted that OK you did it but it was a good thing to do, followed by

3) Whatever Rudy is screaming now because I honestly don't even know what he's trying to say here anymore. But then, conservatives never are big on using actual nouns and verbs to explain what they mean.

The comments give me (possibly foolish) hope

No one cares, unless he caught and killed the pee tapes.
