In all honesty, I am surprised, or maybe I shouldn't be considering Bill Barr; that the FBI didn't have Guiliani's cohorts under their radar.
Guiliani wanted Ambassador Yovanovych out of the way so he could spin yarns about the Bidens. She was there two-plus years before Guiliani took over the foreign policy in Ukraine.
Russia was visited by Guiliani during his run for president of the USA (click here). I hope that was accounted for in the investigation as well.
Ambassador Marie Yovanovych was not only removed the day of President Zelenskyy's inauguration, but she was also baselessly defamed on an increasing basis. There was no reason for any of it.
Any deposition in a secure setting that can hint at the Whistleblower identity should never be released in his or her lifetime.
There are seriously dangerous people involved in all this that will never be brought to justice in the USA and the Republicans seem to forget that.

Washington -When two Rudy Giuliani associates (click here) were arrested last week and charged with funneling foreign money into political campaigns, two big questions lingered: Which foreigners were they working for, and what was their ultimate goal?
There are growing indications that a Ukrainian-backed oligarch who is fighting extradition to the United States figures in the answers.
The evidence is emerging from the mists of a complicated story.
The indicted pair, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, were helping Rudy Giuliani hunt for dirt on Donald Trump's political opponents in Ukraine, even as they were also pitching potential partners on a business deal with Ukraine's gas company.
Oligarch Dmytro Firtash appears to be linked to both efforts.
Parnas and Fruman were advocating on his behalf as they pitched a natural gas deal, according to an American executive briefed on the meeting. And Firtash produced a document that Giuliani has used to attack former Vice President Joe Biden....
Mr. Jordan cannot be this obtuse. American ambassadors are not responsible for the preferences of American politicians. NO, Mr. Jordan the USA Ambassador is not responsible to tell leaders of another country to KNOCK IT OFF.
Donald J. Trump was disliked by many people in the world, Ukraine was not unique if that was actually the case.

America’s global image plummeted (click here) following the election of President Donald Trump, amid widespread opposition to his administration’s policies and a widely shared lack of confidence in his leadership. Now, as the second anniversary of Trump’s election approaches, a new 25-nation Pew Research Center survey finds that Trump’s international image remains poor, while ratings for the United States are much lower than during Barack Obama’s presidency....
