Lindsey Graham has just revealed on Twitter that he’s opening an investigation into the firing of Viktor Shokin, the top Ukrainian prosecutor Biden boasted about having forced the Ukrainians to fire in 2016:
Have heard on numerous occasions disturbing allegations by @RudyGiuliani about corruption in Ukraine and the many improprieties surrounding the firing of former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

Given the House of Representatives’ behavior, it is time for the Senate to inquire about corruption and other improprieties involving Ukraine.

Therefore I will offer to Mr. Giuliani the opportunity to come before the Senate Judiciary Committee to inform the committee of his concerns.

Well it’s about time the Senate gets off it’s duff.
Notice that Graham didn’t mention the name ‘Biden’ in his tweet announcement. I’m guessing he’s trying to avoid giving Democrats ammunition to claim he’s doing this to help Trump win the election.
It will be an interesting hearing to see what Giuliani has to say about this, assuming it’s a public hearing. I expect, despite scandalous accusations, that even Democrats will be happy about the opportunity to question Giuliani about his involvement in the phony Trump/Ukraine scandal.
