Three powerful Democratic committee chairman have subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani and his associates for all documents related their Ukraine dirt-digging as part of Trump impeachment.

Rep. Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Eliot L. Engel, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the Chairman of the Committee on Oversight wrote to Giuliani, “Pursuant to the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry, we are hereby transmitting a subpoena that compels you to produce the documents set forth in the accompanying schedule by October 15, 2019.”

The Chairmen explained that Giuliani’s own TV appearances have come back to haunt him, “In addition to this stark admission, you stated more recently that you are in possession of evidence—in the form of text messages, phone records, and other communications—indicating that you were not acting alone and that other Trump Administration officials may have been involved in this scheme.”

They later added, “A growing public record indicates that the President, his agent Rudy Giuliani, and others appear to have pressed the Ukrainian government to pursue two politically-motivated investigations. The Committees have reason to believe that you have information and documents relevant to these matters.”

The reason they have to believe that Giuliani has additional documents and information is that he was all over Fox News reading texts from State Department officials from his cell phone.

Rudy Giuliani got himself into this mess by trying to throw the State Department under the bus when the heat started coming down on him.

Giuliani is the central figure who fed Trump the baseless Ukraine conspiracy theory about Joe Biden.

This isn’t 2016. House Democrats aren’t going to let Rudy and minions steal an election for Donald Trump.

The hammer has fallen on Trump’s TV lawyer.
