Since Rumple wanted a John Solomon piece about Biden and the Ukraine:
Giuliani didn’t initiate it. A senior U.S. diplomat contacted him in July and asked for permission to connect Yermak with him.
Then, Giuliani met in early August with Yermak on neutral ground — in Spain — before reporting back to State everything that occurred at the meeting.
That debriefing occurred Aug. 11 by phone with two senior U.S. diplomats, one with responsibility for Ukraine and the other with responsibility for the European Union, according to electronic communications records I reviewed and interviews I conducted. .................................................. ............................
.....................................So, rather than just a political opposition research operation, Giuliani’s contacts were part of a diplomatic effort by the State Department to grow trust with the new Ukrainian president, Zelensky, a former television comic making his first foray into politics and diplomacy.
Why would Ukraine want to talk to Giuliani, and why would the State Department be involved in facilitating it? .........................................

Why would Ukraine want to talk with Giuliani? Is it a complaint about a former U.S. elected official's acts? Acts outside his official duties that benefited him or his off-spring, while obstructing Justice through a quid per quo arrangement?
Woodtoo already referred to the above article, but Rumple kept asking me for a Solomon on Biden and the Ukraine I felt obligated to provide him with one.
