8 X 2019bis: Birds of a feather

I read a report of an interview on Ukraine radio of Yurly Lutsenko, sometime Prosecutor General of Ukraine. He told of meetings with Giuliani as part of Rudy’s quest for dirt. It seems Lutsenko and Viktor Shokin, another sometime Prosecutor General, gave Giuliani’s team just what they wanted, dirt on Democrat, dirt on the Bidens, dirt on anyone he might want. What a deal! Problem is, as the article I read reports, “Lutsenko, who left office in August, has changed his account of events surrounding those efforts [sc. of Giuliani’s ‘team’] several times.” This Lutsenko should be recruited for the Trump campaign. His behavior, as reported, has been so absolutely Trumpian.

President Trump is a sleaze-magnet. His own person and behavior are so intensely sleazy as to be a virtual black hole of sleaze. His excesses have drawn to him throngs of sleazy people from all walks of life who have rushed forward to sacrifice their integrity (such as it was) on the altar of Trump. He is persisting in his “Don’t tell ’em nuttin” policy, so we can only guess how sleazy his administration really is. When (and if) we are able to investigate the Trump administration we will find a beehive of sleazes at home and a network of sleazes, like Lutsenko, abroad.
