While trying to defend Trump, Rudy Giuliani implicated him in the impeachable offense that the House is investigating.
Giuliani tweeted:
With all the Fake News let me make it clear that everything I did was to discover evidence to defend my client against false charges.Dems would be horrified by the attacks on me, if my client was a terrorist.But they don’t believe @realDonaldTrump has rights. Justice will prevail

Giuliani is admitting that Trump used the presidency and US military aid to demand that Ukraine take action that would benefit his 2020 presidential campaign. The claim that Democrats love terrorists is a crutch that Giuliani has relied on for years now that is a call back to the fact that he was the mayor of New York during 9/11.
Rudy Giuliani is under criminal investigation for his activities in Ukraine.
Giuliani’s discovering of evidence via being Trump’s point man for a shadow foreign policy that involved trying to shakedown Ukraine for dirt on Joe Biden and an investigation of a looney 2016 election conspiracy theory resulted in the commission of impeachable and possibly criminal offenses.
Rudy Giuliani has the right to remain silent. Now seems like a good time to exercise it before everyone around him ends up impeached or in prison.
