UkraineGate: What Will Volker Say?

I am referring to Kurt Volker:
The president's lawyer Rudy Giuliani has revealed text messages of conversations between himself and senior officials at the State Department that he says show they endorsed his controversial dealings with Ukraine…During an appearance on Fox News show The Ingraham Angle last night, Giuliani revealed 15 text messages between himself, U.S. Special Representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker, and U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland.
When I first heard the lying and very corrupt RUDY say this, I could only imagine the consternation of the people in the State Department over the fact that RUDY wants to drag them down with him. But here is the interesting news:
Kurt Volker, US special envoy to Ukraine, has resigned one day after the release of a whistleblower report alleging a coverup by the White House of a call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine's President, three sources familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN. Volker was named in the report…here is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden. The news of Volker's resignation comes just hours after the House Foreign Affairs Committee announced they would hold a deposition for him next week. "We still expect to hear everything he knows about this scandal," said a congressional aide familiar with the deposition plans. But it's unclear if he will still speak with the committee on the planned date. Giuliani denied to CNN on Thursday the characterizations of his interactions with Volker detailed in a complaint from an American intelligence community whistleblower, saying he had a "nice little trail" of text messages with Volker to prove his story. "I spoke to the State Department during the course of this situation, I told you, at least 10 times, and I met with them," Giuliani told CNN.
Yes RUDY – we know you love to talk. Of course no sane person believes a word you say. Why should we expect Mr. Volker to come forward and do the right thing?
Volker got along with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo but he remained very much associated with the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, "which is not a winning character trait for Trump" explained another source close to Volker. He never became an insider in the Trump administration, but due to his contacts with Giuliani he had an increasingly complicated role.
Country first! A concept that is foreign to RUDY and his client.

  1. What is curious is that while Dems view his testimony as damaging to Trump, Tea Partier James Jordan is running around on Fox News and elsewhere calling it "Out of 1 to 10 it is a 12 for the president," supposedly completely undermining the case for impeachment, although I have not seen him explain exactly why that is the case. But he is quite assertive that it is.
