And when you take all the elements from the #RobertMueller report (the #SpecialCounsel, responsible of the investiation)... the doubt is thin... thin like: - The firing of the Anti-corruption US ambassador in #UK Maria #Yovanovitch - A pardon to General #Flynn high treason for the benefit of #Russia

"...the #FBI came looking for devices involved in Rudy’s suspected FARA violations tied to getting Marie #Yovanovitch, they didn’t find the devices he would have been using at the time.

They did, however, find three devices on which Rudy planned January 6. And because of the way DOJ did the privilege review on those devices, those records would have been made available to any investigators with a lawful warrant no later than January 21, 2022."

The New York Times
I am reading “Lessons from the Edge” the autobiography of Marie #Yovanovitch, the US ambassador to Ukraine from 2016 to 2019, who was wrongly criticised and sacked by Donald #Trump. She was the target of the target of a conspiracy-driven smear campaign, by Trump and his supporters.
Trump’s behaviour was appalling mistreatment of a committed public servant of great integrity. And how else should those who supported Trump have expected him to behave towards those over whom he had power?
Did #RudyGiuliani seriously claim that the #USambassador to #Ukraine Marie #Yovanovitch was on #Soros' payroll? That's beyond insane and proof how far rightwing #conspiracytheories have gotten into the pea-sized brains of the current administration. If toxic Rudy is the one who brings this president down, he finally did something good. #MakeDonaldDuckAgain
