I say that to say this: the 75% chance that Trump avoids removal will be because Rudy is gonna take the fall, whether he likes it or not, and the GOP majority in the Senate. Culpability on the President is gone if he can simply claim that Rudy went rogue with regard to Ukraine. Sondland, Taylor, Hill, Trump, the four arrests - the writing is on the wall for Giuliani. That's going to happen - whether or not Giuliani is a liability for Trump's continuance in the Oval Office remains to be seen. But this isn't a good look for the administration going forward. Hasn't been since mid-September. I'd be in panic-mode, especially after getting rolled by Turkey and overwhelmingly opposed by the house on my actions with regard to Syria (including 100 GOP reps).

The fall for what?
