Also…Maddow had a good deal of innocent fun night before last with a large envelope that sported a weirdly baroque address (Secretary Pompeo attn Ruth – the “attn Ruth” was pretty hilarious too). Now I understand, via Josh Rogin:

Rudy admits to CNN he passed the packet of Ukraine conspiracy theories and attacks on a U.S. ambassador to Pompeo. “They (the State Department) told me they would investigate it.”

By the way, Rudy is admitting to manufacturing White House logos and sticking them on non-White House documents and pushing the real government to act on them.

Walter Shaub:

Josh, are you inferring that from his statement that he’s responsible for the packet, or is he literally saying he sat down and drew “White House” in the upper left?

Rogin:

He’s admitted to passing the packet to Pompeo. I don’t know who exactly worked the photoshop, but the presidents lawyer gave it the Secretary of State and this was not an official WH document.

Shaub:

Thanks! I asked because it doesn’t look Photoshopped to me, it looks hand drawn (which is insane). It’ll be interesting to see if he specifically says he created the fake logo. Compare the Pompeo package to an actual White House envelope.

Giuliani sent a package of conspiracy theories about the ambassador to Ukraine, to the Secretary of State, in a pink envelope with Gorgeous Scrolly Writing and a fake THE WHITE HOUSE in the corner.

In our wildest dreams we couldn’t…
