Aid was held from Ukraine in July. POTUS then repeatedly pressured president to probe Hunter Biden. Trump nixed a meeting. Then Giuliani pushed top Ukrainian aide in Madrid — who promised to look into it. Aid has returned. Meeting is happening. Our latest: washingtonpost.com/politics/how-t…
“You’re not getting from here to the presidency without answering these questions,” Giuliani told the Post of Biden. He repeatedly pressured Ukrainian officials and briefed POTUS, who also pressured them. Lots of angst in Ukraine and at US embassy there. washingtonpost.com/politics/how-t…
Ukrainians were upset they couldn’t get POTUS meeting & lost hundreds of millions in foreign aid. POTUS & Rudy delivered a message: Probe Biden and matters that help us. Aid and meetings have returned. Giuliani says Ukraine has promised to look into it. washingtonpost.com/politics/how-t…

NEW w/@nickmiroff: Trump has told immigration & Army Corps officials to ignore enviro regulations & seize land in rush to build wall, saying he would pardon those who follow. (Asked for comment, a White House official says pardons were joking.) washingtonpost.com/immigration/ta…
@NickMiroff In May 23 Oval meeting, Trump ordered that the wall be painted black. A government analysis reviewed by the Post shows that would cost between $70 and $133 million more. washingtonpost.com/immigration/ta…
@NickMiroff In conference call last week, officials at U.S. Customs& Border Protection told Army Corps engineers that hundreds of miles must be completed before 2020 election. That means regular rules are not being followed on contracting, construction, officials say. washingtonpost.com/immigration/ta…

VP saw 384 men sleeping inside fences, on concrete w/no pillows or mats. They said they hadn’t showered in weeks, wanted toothbrushes, food. Stench was overwhelming. CBP said they were fed regularly, could brush daily & recently got access to shower (many hadn’t for 10-20 days.)
A few other images from inside:
Agent in charge said there wasn’t room for cots andthe facility didn’t have a shower but got a shower yesterday in an outdoor trailer. Some hadn’t showered for 10 or 20 days. Agent said no one had been there longer than 32 days, but some men told CNN’s Pam Brown and me they had.

Remember the Cohen, Sater, Flynn, Manafort & Artemenko “Ukrainian Peace Plan” Feb 2017?

Does the WBC deemed a “credible & urgent” NatSec issue center in a version of the above to cede the Crimea & republics of Donetsk & Luhansk to RU & lift sanctions?

John Minford, #SunTzu 9: 18 "If he is on easy ground, he is luring us."
Easy ground? Zhang Yu explains: "If the enemy has quit the strong ground and taken up a position on exposed terrain, it must be either because there is some hidden advantage or because he wants to lure us into battle."
Do the Democrats have any strong ground? Sure they do. Since we believe in self-reliance, they can always claim the high ground of looking out for the little guy. They have the high ground of speaking of society as a whole, and its responsibility for the unfortunate.

Finally tuning into legislative hearing on critical @CaHSRA audit report.
You can watch too!
calchannel.com/live-webcast/
Vince Fong asks auditor about finding that agency lowballed construction cost estimates

Auditor - doesn't know how @cahsra can defend them
Earlier, Elaine Howe stated that this project was bigger and needed better controls but had worse controls even with lots of audits and other oversight.

Committee chair asks why.

Elaine Howle says she can't explain it - maybe would be good question for @CaHSRA .

Ouch.
