Donald Trump’s personal attorney is back in Kyiv. And this time Rudy Giuliani isn’t just trying to find down-and-out Ukrainians willing to lie about Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton; he’s there to set up a whole alternative “justice” system, one that connects crooked legislators in Ukraine with equally crooked legislators in the United States. It’s like a pipeline deal, where what’s flowing through the pipe is pure corruption.

In all the testimony that was heard in the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment inquiry, there was one factor that came up over, and over, and over—Giuliani’s derailing of the normal diplomatic process and attempts to suborn lies to support Trump’s conspiracy theories. Witness after witness made it clear that Trump’s personal attorney was undercutting normal government channels, confusing Ukrainian officials, and deeply damaging efforts to deal with genuine corruption. So naturally, even as the House Judiciary Committee was conducting its first day of hearings on Trump’s impeachment, Giuliani was back in Ukraine … undercutting diplomats, confusing officials, and showing Ukrainians what real corruption looks like.

Back in May, Giuliani declared that he had someone ready to testify in support of Trump’s favorite conspiracies in the form of former Ukrainian prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko. These claims became the centerpiece of an article in The New York Times and multiple scathing editorials from The Hill’s John Solomon. But Lutsenko was lying—and he admitted as much only days later.

But now, with his work out in the open and defended by the whole Republican Party, Giuliani isn’t just looking for liars—he’s looking to build a whole smear network. The Washington Post reports that Giuliani has connected to a group of former and current Ukrainian officials in an effort to create an entire anti-Biden “documentary” filled with any lies they can dream up. And this effort includes letters sent back to the United States to secure participation from “key Republicans”—including Lindsay Graham, Devin Nunes, and White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.

Donald Trump’s personal attorney is openly, actively engaged in a conspiracy with foreign officials to generate propaganda to damage a candidate in a U.S. election. And he’s inviting Republican members of Congress and a White House official to join in.
