So Ron Johnson and Giuliani both were told that they were dealing with Russian operatives

and they didn't give a damn. The evidence seems to be clear that both were making money from the corrupt Ukrainian officials and they didn't didn't give a damn about any of it. They just wanted to make money and hurt Biden.

. .."On July 4, 2018, Johnson and several other Republican senators were entertained in Moscow by, among other people, Sergei Kislyak, a central figure among the Volga Bagmen and good friend of Michael Flynn, then the Russophilic White House national security adviser. Johnson, who previously had been a harsh critic of the regime of Vladimir Putin, returned from Russia on this trip with kasha failing to melt in his mouth. From the Washington Examiner:

Johnson said he's worried that Congress over-reacted to Russia's election interference, which resulted in legislation that tied Trump’s hands with mandatory sanctions. “I've been pretty upfront that the election interference — as serious as that was
and unacceptable — is not the greatest threat to our democracy,” he said. “We've blown it way out of proportion — [as if it's] the greatest threat to democracy ... We need to really honestly assess what actually happened, what effect did it have, and what effect are our sanctions actually having, positively and negatively.”

At which point, Johnson began to carry water for the White House and, by extension, for the Kremlin's efforts to get out from under charges that it had ratfcked the 2016 election, and that it was preparing to do it again. (This mutuality of interests ought to raise all kinds of alarms.) In pursuit of that, he has become the mainspring of the misinformation plot that seeks to pin the blame for the sabotage of Ukraine on Joe Biden, and to tie it to Biden through his son, Hunter. This manufactured tale was one of the go-
to diversions for the president*'s defenders during the impeachment proceedings, and it has been kept alive as an important element of the president*'s re-election strategy, behind which Johnson has thrown the full weight of his chairmanship of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee."...(more)
