Exclusive: Giuliani Now Claiming Biden 'Bribed' Former Ukrainian President

[CatWoman]

Rudy Giuliani called into America This Week and mounted stunning new allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden regarding the alleged Ukraine corruption that the Trump administration claimed to be investigating.

In what can be only called a very timely booking for host Eric Bolling, Giuliani went into great detail about his past and current role in trying to dig up dirt on President Donald Trump’s opponents and claimed that Biden bribed former Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko.

The interview — a video of which was obtained by Mediaite — is set to air tonight on America This Week.

Bolling opened by noting how much the House Intelligence Committee impeachment inquiry hearings focused on him, which the former New York mayor dismissed by noting how few of the witnesses he actually met. “Even Sondland,” Giuliani noted of EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland, “I talked to Sondland three times on the phone… I don’t think I’ve ever met Gordon.”

He then said, “first of all I never went to the Ukraine and number two, the only time I in any way represented the US in Ukraine is when Ambassador Volker asked me to meet with the assistant to President Zelensky.” He said all the other interactions he had with Ukraine were in the U.S. “in his role as private defense attorney for Donald Trump, obtaining evidence that will exonerate him from both the present impeachment charges and from the Mueller charges.”

Bolling noted that Sondland claimed to be following Giuliani’s lead in pushing to withhold military aid Ukraine, to which Trump’s defense attorney pushed back saying he had nothing to do with that allegation. “He’s completely wrong,” Giuliani replied, adding “I wasn’t holding back anything.”

Giuliani defended the Trump administration’s foreign policy saying, “The reality is the president is confronting Ukraine correctly, the country as a big problem with corruption.”

“You know the big thing in Ukraine about Biden?” Giuliani asked. “How he corrupted the United States of America. Just step back for a minute from this political garbage and consider just how horrible it is that a vice president of the United States bribed the president of a foreign country in order to fire a prosecutor who is investigating the vice president’s son, and every single person in Ukraine knows it.”

This assessment — provided without evidence — runs counter to much of the testimony put forth in the past few days from foreign service officials who testified before the House Intel Committee. Giuliani’s quadrupling down of this claim that Biden acted corruptly when he demanded Ukraine fire its top prosecutor is surely an effort to muddy those waters.

1. Sue his lying ass

[BSdetect]

16. Yes, time to shut him up.

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. Would someone please gag Giuliani?

[babylonsister]

13. I think he should keep talking.

That hole is getting mighty deep.

[leftyladyfrommo]

3. These guys are all completely insane.

Trump's call into Fox this morning was just plain crazy. He is completely off the rails.

And G is, too.

[Iliyah]

4. And yet the Republicans are turning their ugly heads and

acting like nothing is wrong.

[stopdiggin]

11. this is why it's somewhat important that our government operate based on facts

rather than conspiracy theory. When "my facts" are just as good as your facts ... And Kelleyanne was smarter than all the rest of us years ago.

[gratuitous]

5. Care to appear before Schiff's Committee and say that under oath, Rudy?

If not, it's a lie.

See how easy it is to figure out who's telling the truth in this "he said/he said" stuff, media outlets?

[TheRealNorth]

7. Yup

The blowfish should bring his evidence and testify under oath.

[crickets]

12. +1

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. yes it's projection time!

[kentuck]

8. But what about-ism?

What about Joey? He got in the cookie jar and he stole two cookies.

My client is not the only thief.

You cannot punish him unless you punish every other cookie thief.

That's Guiliani's game.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. Is there lead in your makeup Rudy?

[2naSalit]

10. Last desperate attempt to spread the lies

which none of us accept... well, those of us with an IQ that can be found on the positive side on a number line.

[tirebiter]

14. Whatever Biden did was not for himself

Giuliani is muddying the waters to confuse personal gain with official policy .

[H2O Man]

15. Pathetic.

Rudy is a dangerous criminal, who needs to be incarcerated. He is an annoying old fart, who should never be interviewed again. And he is a pathetic figure, who will take his place along side of Senator Joe McCarthy in our nation's history. (In my opinion, Joe would have put Rudy under the table in a drinking contest. Yet I am glad to know that Rudy is drinking heavily these days.)

Recommended, of course, and appreciated. You make DU a great place.
