President Trump deputized lawyer Rudy Giuliani to run a shadow foreign policy for Ukraine outside the State Department, witnesses told Congress — and the White House said people should 'get over it.'

Did he get the little tin star to put over his little tin heart?

Get over it? NO!

This is all fake news again.

Yeah, I'm cool with that. The Ukrainian ambassador is a never Trumper, so work around her.

With all the leaks and partisanship left over from the previous administration, no wonder the man is holding his cards close. Maybe those who have and continue to resist the change in power should be fired or arrested so our current administration can govern without paranoia.

Trump is doing what Obama did... Obama had Trump investigated during the 2016 election and pressured Ukraine into complying with information requests. He assumed there was corruption. Now Trump believes there is Biden corruption and is doing exactly the same thing.

I don't like it. I don't like John Kerry carrying out foreign policy for Congress. How about ?

So Mulveney is trying to walk back his statement while the Trump campaign is simultaneously printing it on T-shirts.

Seems to me that if Trump deputized Giuliani, then Giuliani was an employee of the Executive Branch, subject to oversight by the House. And any communication regarding the Ukrainian between between Giuliani and Trump would not be covered under Attorney-Client privilege.

Cant even complete the conspiracies they already have on their plate.

The crime boss that had ppl whacked, businesses shook down, & robbed the treasury said its bussiness, nothin to see here. Much like a car theif wanting to be the judge & jury at his trial. If asked, i couldnt tell diff between Assad gov & theOrangeKing gov!

I thought all this testimony was secret. So how did this come out? Schiff selective leaking? presidents have used people outside government for special purposes for decades. Wasn’t Carter used for DPRK negotiations on hostage releases by an administration? So nothing to see.

Good example of a misleading lead - the 'get over it' line was in reference to aid being given with conditions as it always is. But so what if Trump did this? He's president, he can conduct foreign policy anyway he wants, with or without the blessing of the bureaucracy.

' GET IS OVER' IS SLOGAN FLOATED by Senator Mitch McConnell is now outdated & bogus.

Thank you President Trump, and thank you Rudy Giuliani! Keep up the excellent work!

brianchunter And you don’t know this because all the supposed witnesses testified in secrecy behind closed doors. FAKENEWS

Trump’s view of Presidential authority in foreign policy begs a radical reconsideration of executive power. His believes he has a Constitutional mandate to do whatever he wants through whomever he wants. This does not align with the Senate’s advice and consent role.

Every U.S. citizens should be required to read and understand the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Nothing foreign policy about it. It was pure extortion

AnneLaBarbera whats sad is that Trump truly believes he is not violating our trust it is as though the 'rules do not apply to him' . It is as though he has an entourage telling him that his invisible clothes are 'like none other' . It is like if somebody tells him the truth 'they are trators'

so now the new angle is Trump deputized Giuliani, is that right?

This is not a dictatorship.... Please someone do something......

THIS CRAP MAKES ME THINK THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY POLITICAL APPOINTEES IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEIR JOBS ARE TOO IMPORTANT!!!

Apparently Rudy is not in as much trouble as the people in the administration who worked with Rudy.

Rudy! Your cell is calling...

Rcrooks1969 ImpeachmentTaskForce

Agreed. Enough already

Shadow foreign policy sounds a lot like a deep state policy. Operates secretly, agenda unknown, uses outside resources and contacts, does not report to other branches of gov, etc, etc. Sort of like comparing shit and poop.

Are not the democrats making a mistake by holding closed door hearings instead of making them public so these day to day revelations can come out immediately? Leaks give the impression they have something to hide.

“Focusing on impeachment doesn't deliver a single job, doesn't fix health care, our broken immigration system. What it does is show that the Republicans & President Trump are the only ones that are actually delivering for the American people.”

Tell the truth

We can hate Guiliani all day, but everything he did was for Trump. Everything!!

Next they’ll just tell Americans to “mind your own business” and the GOP will get mad at Americans for wanting to know what their leaders are doing.

It's time ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW.

But it’s unconstitutional. Are we just going to let sh*t like this slide?

Cannot wait to see these traitors perp walked off in handcuffs! Actions are disgusting & shameful! *UN-AMERICAN! 🇺🇸

Does anyone believe this?

philewing You are just reporting the testimony, without context, that has been selectively cherry-picked by the democrats. You're basically just a propaganda arm of the Democratic party boasting their narrative. You are not a journalist.

Mulvaney made an excellent point on how ridiculous the term 'shadow foreign policy' is, which of course everyone ignored. Do you understand what an executive branch is? Who is in charge of personnel in the executive branch?

Unlike the 2016 election (which, contrary to popular belief, I did get over) THIS might be something we should absolutely NOT get over.
