Gaetz: 'I Think it's a Little Weird' that Giuliani is in Ukraine Meeting with Government Officials

Trump ally Matt Gaetz (R., Fla.) distanced himself from the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani during an interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo Thursday night.

“I think it’s a little weird that Rudy Giuliani is over in Ukraine right now, and I’m not here to defend Rudy Giuliani,” Gaetz told Cuomo.

Cuomo began by asking Gaetz what he made of Giuliani’s presence in Ukraine, where he met this week with government officials as part of his ongoing effort to prompt the opening of a corruption investigation that would benefit Trump politically.

Giuliani met on Thursday with a KGB-trained member of Ukraine’s parliament to discuss a possible investigation into Hunter Biden, son of former vice president Joe Biden. In November, news broke that Giuliani considered taking Ukraine’s top prosecutor as a client earlier this year, as he urged the prosecutor and other Ukrainian officials to investigate former vice president Joe Biden.

you know it's gotta be full-frontal criminality.
I'd love to see Giuliani rot in an Eastern European jail.

It is the equivalent of him saying that he is nervous that he has been backing the wrong horse all this time.

He's just buying time to let Hannity tell him what he should really be saying, but it is the first crack in the armor. Of course, he had to finish with a baldfaced lie: "I'm not here to defend Rudy Giuliani." No, Matty, of course not. You're only there to defend Trump, who is being defended by....oh. Rudy Giuliani. OK, never mind.

5. Normally, I have to apply the word "not" in front of everything Gaetz says to get to the truth

I wonder if he would have chosen the same words for a FOX audience.
