And that is that the aide had heard this type of thing from Trump many times before and did not think that breaking the constitution was anything new to report. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Perry pressed Ukraine on corruption, energy company changes The energy secretary's role in pushing the president's message in Kiev was more extensive than publicly known, people familiar with Perry's activities tell POLITICO. ..... Among other changes, Perry pushed for Ukraine’s state-owned natural gas company Naftogaz to expand its board to include Americans, two people familiar with the matter said. Two long-time energy executives based in Perry’s home state of Texas were among those under consideration for that role, one source familiar with the administration’s dealings with the company said. ......... “I may or may not know anything about it,” Giuliani told POLITICO when asked if he knew about Perry’s efforts to install new people on the board. ...... Perry, who POLITICO reported is expected to resign next month, attended Zelensky's May inauguration in Kiev in place of Vice President Mike Pence. In addition, he was one of the administration’s "three amigos" on Ukrainian policy, along with Kurt Volker, the U.S. special representative for the Ukraine conflict, and Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union ........ https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/05/rick-perry-ukraine-trump-030230 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 'Most Implausible Alibi I've Ever Heard': Trump Ridiculed for Blaming Rick Perry for Ukraine Call "So the call was perfect. But the call was also Rick Perry's idea and Trump didn't want to do it. And Rick Perry is leaving the administration soon. Weird." ".....But he then threw Perry into the mix and said something to the effect of: 'Not a lot of people know this but, I didn't even want to make the call. The only reason I made the call was because Rick asked me to. Something about an LNG [liquified natural gas] plant,'" Axios reported, citing one source's recollection of the president's remarks. "Another source on the call, according to Axios, "said Trump added that 'more of this will be coming out in the next few days'—referring to Perry," who is reportedly planning to leave the White House by the end of November.... Trump's claim that Perry is responsible for the Ukraine conversation is "contradicted by text messages released earlier this week between top U.S. diplomats and Andrey Yermak, an aide to Zelensky, which suggest Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was a primary advocate for arranging the call." Critics were not impressed by Trump's attempt to deflect blame for the call........ https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/10/05/most-implausible-alibi-ive-ever-heard-trump-ridiculed-blaming-rick-perry-ukraine?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=twitter 3 Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Rudy Giuliani’s indicted Ukraine henchman gave thousands to Kevin McCarthy "Lev Parnas, the foreign-born businessman who was indicted this week on campaign-finance charges, donated thousands of dollars last year to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). As flagged by New York Daily News reporter Michael McAuliff, Parnas in June 2018 contributed $2,700 to McCarthy’s reelection campaign. Other filings made with the Federal Elections Commission show that Parnas donated that exact same amount to Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), who on Thursday was implicated in an indictment of Parnas and his business partner, Igor Fruman.... https://www.rawstory.com/2019/10/revealed-rudy-giulianis-indicted-ukraine-henchman-gave-thousands-to-kevin-mccarthy/#.XZ9nd_SNlvQ.twitter 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Two Giuliani Associates Who Helped Him on Ukraine Charged With Campaign-Finance Violations Prosecutors say Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were part of a conspiracy to funnel foreign money into a pro-Trump fundraising committee ....In a 21-page indictment unsealed Thursday, federal prosecutors in Manhattan alleged Messrs. Parnas and Fruman were engaged in political activities in the U.S. on behalf of one or more Ukrainian government officials—including a lobbying campaign, targeted at a Republican congressman, to remove the U.S. ambassador in Kyiv. President Trump ordered the ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch, removed from her post in May, the Journal has reported. Their political giving—aimed at Republicans—was funded in part by an unnamed Russian donor, the indictment alleges. Federal law bans foreigners from contributing to U.S. elections........ Since late 2018, Messrs. Fruman and Parnas have introduced Mr. Giuliani to several current and former senior Ukrainian prosecutors to discuss the Biden case, acting as key conduits of information. The two had lunch with Mr. Giuliani at the Trump International Hotel in Washington on Wednesday, according to a person who was in the hotel..... Messrs. Parnas and Fruman had dinner with Mr. Trump in early May 2018, shortly before they donated to the pro-Trump super PAC, ....... Mr. Trump moved to oust Ms. Yovanovitch this spring after Mr. Giuliani told him that she was undermining him abroad and hindering efforts to investigate Mr. Biden. House committees are seeking Ms. Yovanovitch’s testimony. The indictment also says the men met in July 2018 in Las Vegas to hatch plans to start a recreational marijuana business in Nevada that would be funded by the unnamed Russian national...... https://www.wsj.com/articles/two-foreign-born-men-who-helped-giuliani-on-ukraine-arrested-on-campaign-finance-charges-11570714188?mod=hp_lead_pos1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He did the next step of their rationalization and normalization in their evolution trajectory. They went from “We didn’t do it” to “so what if we did, get over it!” as with many other things of Trump’s. However, the reaction was stronger than anticipated, and therefore, Mulvaney had to walk it back. His walk-back looked like it was written by the same person who wrote the walk-back email by Sondland a couple of months, where Sondland has since then basically admitted it was Trump who had him put out the “No Quid Quo Pro”statement. what a gang of incompetent criminals hahahaha!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
