In his May 10, 2019, letter to President-elect Zelensky, @RudyGiuliani asked for a meeting as "personal counsel" representing Trump "as a private citizen." So his efforts to get dirt on Biden had NOTHING to do with US policy.

Wow—Parnas says Giuliani instructed him to tell Zelensky’s top aide before Zelensky’s inauguration that the “relationships would be soured, that we would stop giving them any kind of aid” if they did not announce Biden probe. Next day Pence canceled his trip to the inauguration.

MADDOW: What is the main inaccuracy that you can correct?

PARNAS: That the president didn't know what was going on. President Trump knew exactly what was going on. He was aware of all of my movements. I wouldn't do anything without the consent of Rudy Giuliani & the president. pic.twitter.com/8ZQJyC1BaJ

I’ve watched @BernieSanders since I was at @Middlebury and it sure seems to me that one of his most enduring passions is hatred of Democratic Party. He hates it. Has crippled Dem party in Vt & is doing everything possible to do same to national party. https://t.co/q5ZvbroQxt

Bernie has always supported his surrogates being in the gutter for him – look at his 1997 biography where he quotes a local VT journalist calling his female opponent “too loud, too b*tchy, too brassy” to win women’s votes (this was a rape victim and victim rights advocate) https://t.co/2JufQIKm4R
