In Dec. 2016, Trump confirmed that Rudy Giuliani would not serve as secretary of state. The president-elect also saw “an important place for him in the administration at a later date."
As this Post article on Giuliani suggests, one thing that the emerging Ukraine affair shares with both Watergate and Iran-Contra is a presidential governance structure in which political operatives are empowered to freelance within the executive branch:

Andrew Yang, a new kind of candidate, has a new kind of problem. And it’s not easy to shake!
A ton of people have asked, "Why do white supremacists like Andrew Yang?"
Alt-right users think Trump's anti-immigration rhetoric is on-point, but if he won't be more violent about it, no one will.
Yang's $1,000-a-month promise is a consolation prize.

The value to Trump of an investigation into a political rival is in the existence of the investigation. It doesn’t have to turn up anything — it just has to happen — to become a sword against his opponent and a shield against the investigations into him.

I said yesterday Trump was going walk back that tweet claiming he knew Flynn lied to the FBI. Today his lawyer John Dowd says he wrote it—in error. Says Trump didn’t know that when he fired Flynn.
