Breaking news out of D.C. where Sen. Lindsey Graham just invited Rudy Giuliani to speak to the Judiciary Committee on the firing of former Prosecutor General Vikto Shokin and his other concerns regarding corruption in Ukraine:
Have heard on numerous occasions disturbing allegations by @RudyGiuliani about corruption in Ukraine and the many improprieties surrounding the firing of former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

Given the House of Representatives’ behavior, it is time for the Senate to inquire about corruption and other improprieties involving Ukraine.

Therefore I will offer to Mr. Giuliani the opportunity to come before the Senate Judiciary Committee to inform the committee of his concerns.

So, in public?
Graham says he's inviting Giuliani to come before Senate Judiciary — if he means for a public hearing that would be quite the spectacle https://t.co/35tWt9yGFM

As 2020 candidates Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris are on the committee as well, this should produce quite a few fireworks:
Keep in mind the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee: 2020 candidates Harris, Klobuchar and Booker
This would be an ugly hearing. https://t.co/3OHYLLAkLx

Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar probably looking forward to this opportunity https://t.co/CdphLuaEWZ

Rudy Giuliani and his broken brain would get absolutely scorched by Harris, Booker and Klobuchar and other Dems on Sen. Judiciary. There is no way he wants this clown show in a public hearing. https://t.co/E0nYi9j9Y7

This seems gloriously ill-considered and welcome. https://t.co/iLZQ1gu2ti
