Rudy Giuliani Investigated For Lobbying And Campaign Finance Violations
h/t Instapundit
[VictoryGirls] No sooner had his name been uttered during the impeachment hearings, when the news breaks that Rudy Giuliani is under investigation.

    "Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, is being investigated by federal prosecutors for possible campaign finance violations and a failure to register as a foreign agent as part of an active investigation into his financial dealings, according to three U.S. officials.

    The probe of Giuliani, which one official said could also include possible charges on violating laws against bribing foreign officials or conspiracy, presents a serious threat to Trump’s presidency from a man that former national security adviser John Bolton has called a "hand grenade.""

The officials are named in this breaking news story from Bloomberg. Oh wait, they aren’t. It’s all from anonymous sources.

Giuliani’s name has been waived around quite a bit since all this impeachment mess started taking off. Because he dared to do as the President asked, and act as an envoy in talks with Ukrainian officials, he’s done something BAD! As if the Democrats nor media had ever heard of back channel communications before?

Back channel communications are part and parcel of the political landscape and have been for centuries. Benjamin Franklin went to France and England prior to the Declaration of Independence to gain support and assistance for the American cause. FDR used numerous back channel communications prior to and during World War II. Reagan did the same when trying to get the Soviet Union to back down.

It is a fair bet that Obama used back channels to get things rolling with his craptastic Iran Deal and Paris Agreement. How else were they able to get things arranged for transporting those pallets of cash in the dead of night?
How do you know you're approaching the target? The flack increases.
