🍑Eve3🍑

Trump used the power and influence of his office to pressure & induce Zelensky to interfere in the 2020 presidential elex for his personal & political benefit

🍑Eve4🍑

Goldman: Faced with the revelation of his pressure campaign in Ukraine, Trump directed an unprecedented effort to obstruct Congress’ impeachment inquiry into his conduct.

Goldman notes that Trump pushed Giuliani to continue his Ukraine allegations just two days ago.
🍑Eve5🍑

“Trump's ongoing actions are "a clear & present danger to our free & fair elex & to our NatSec."

“IG:Compro’g info about HRC had been complied for years, was controlled by the Kremlin, & had been fed by the Kremlin to the Trump campaign for an extended period of time.”
🍑Eve6🍑

S Dossier played no role in the Crossfire Hurricane opening.

The FBI gathered sufficient evidence to open its inv’n on Trump aides PapaD, Page, Flynn & Manafort.

📌It "reasonably indicated activity constituting either a federal crime or a threat to NatSec, or both.
🍑Eve7🍑

“IG: In the face of concerns that the Page FISA “would probably not be worth the risk of being criticized later,” the FBI “felt strongly... they had to get to the bottom of a potentially serious threat to national security, even if the FBI would later be criticized.”

The Oligarchs Who Lost Ukraine and Won Washington

How Kremlin-Backed Authoritarians Sought to Profit From Trump’s Presidency
🍑Eve9🍑

The United States’ gravest constitutional crisis since Watergate...
🍑Eve10🍑

Is not just about preserving the integrity of U.S. democratic institutions from the president’s abuse of power, however. It is an episode in a broader geopolitical struggle between the defenders of democracy and the forces of oligarchic authoritarianism, #TOC #RUmob
🍑Eve11🍑

From Kyiv’s Maidan to HK’s Mong Kok.

In this wider global conflict, Trump and his surrogates have consistently aligned themselves with the forces of oligarchic authoritarianism—in RU, Turkey, Hungary, & other countries, too.

Nowhere is this clearer than in Ukraine
🍑Eve12🍑

That UKR is at the heart of the US impeach’t inquiry is no coincidence.

UKR is ground zero for the struggle between democratic rule of law & authoritarian oligarchy.

To Ukraine’s west are the liberal democracies of Europe, gov’d by rule of law & democratic principles
🍑Eve13🍑

To its east are Russia and its client states in Eurasia, almost all of which are corrupt oligarchies.

Competition between these two governance systems has twice erupted into violent conflict. Russia’s war against Georgia in 2008 and its invasion of Ukraine in 2014
🍑Eve14🍑

Both conflicts were efforts to protect the Kremlin’s sphere of oligarchic interests from democratic reformers who had come to power through revolutionary social movements.

Bill Barr Slams IG Report: FBI’s Suspicions Were ‘Insufficient’ to Justify Trump Probe

The Republican Party’s defense against the impeachment of President Trump is notable for its almost singular focus on process. Rather than defend Trump on what he did
🍑Eve17🍑

“RUMINT Lavrov to offer POTUS an opportunity to build a Trump golf resort and retirement community in Russia for American expats.

The kicker:

The Donald must arrive in Moscow to begin work on the project on or before 13 December.”🤷‍♀️
