Trump apparently thought he could succeed where Giuliani had failed by forcing clarity onto the Ukrainian tangle—but now he’s mired in it, deeper than ever
Giuliani had grown wide-eyed over reports of Biden dirt in Ukraine. Trump’s personal attorney, often representing himself in a quasi-official role, as the whistle-blower complaint makes clear, had been mining contacts with connections both governmental and in the private sector, flying to assignations in foreign capitals, and trying to set up deals. But the oppo gold he was searching for—if it ever existed, which is doubtful—didn’t materialize.

Ukraine’s reputation for corruption, for rumor and wild exaggeration and big, shady payoffs, is well earned, and once a certain sort of Ukrainian player saw his intense hunger, a panoply of sources seemed to arise to satisfy it.
