https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-politics-guaido-giuliani-idUSKBN1ZL1ARAt a lavish August gathering at a private estate in Spain, a wealthy Venezuelan businessman under criminal investigation in the United States introduced Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trumps personal lawyer, to the father of Venezuelas opposition leader, Juan Guaido.
...
A month later, at a meeting in Washington, D.C., Giuliani urged Justice Department prosecutors to go easy on Betancourt, according to a person with direct knowledge of the meeting, and Lev Parnas, a former Giuliani associate, who said Giuliani told him about it soon afterward. Parnas and the other person said Giuliani told prosecutors that Betancourt had provided assistance for Guaidos political efforts, and was therefore doing good work for the United States.
...
Giuliani declined to confirm meeting with U.S. prosecutors on Betancourts behalf and wouldnt say whether the Venezuelan businessman is a client. Lev Parnas has no right to be talking about that meeting, Giuliani told Reuters in a brief phone interview. It was a confidential meeting - if it did happen.

I wanted to see him speak before the senators. Not only would Rump have already been removed by now, he'd be settling in at Leavanworth.

common from this mis-administration and their cohorts that one just wants to slam their own head against the desk over and over again. I mean.....how? HOW?
