Trump could not have been more explicit about pivoting from Mueller's testimony -- where he decried foreign interference in the election -- to asking Ukraine to interfere in the eleciton >>>
I'm not seeing the "perfect" part of this call.
Context: Trump reportedly halted Ukraine military aid a few days before this call.

JUST IN: The Judiciary Committee says DOJ informed them for the first time last night that it intends to provide Mueller's interview notes with Don McGahn (and others) to the committee.

Until yesterday, the committee had been led to believe very little else would be provided.
The committee also says that it has been asking for DOJ to provide reasons for any redactions in the interview notes it has been providing -- and learned yesterday that the reasons included "executive branch confidentiality" and "presidential privilege."
The Judiciary Committee, in a filing with Judge Howell, said it intends to challenge some of the redactions based on this fact.

Howell is due to decide whether committee should have access to Mueller's grand jury info sometime in the next couple of weeks.

NEWS: DOJ reveals it has provided portions of 17 of Mueller's witness interview notes to Congress. This doesn't include McGahn, Flynn or Bannon. It does include Kushner, Lewandowksi, Manafort.

But some, like Rob Porter's, are heavily redacted. Story TK
Here's the list of the 16 Mueller witness interview notes DOJ hasn't provided yet. Note #10 Joseph "Jody" Hunt -- then look at who signed the court filing.
Hunt was one of three authorizing DOJ officials on the document -- the arguments in court today were made by Shapiro, who faced tought questioning and outright skepticism from Howell.

Foreign Interference in 2016 US Election
September 27, 2019 by David John Weaver @davidjohnweave

1) From the moment Trump descended the escalator in Trump Tower, he became a target of the Democrat Machine. At first, the machine focused on ‘dirt’ or anything they could use to
2) win the election. Trump won the election and their tact changed to interfering with the Trump Transition and eventually his Presidency. I’m in my fifties, lived all over the world, and I’ve never seen anything like the crimes of the Obama Administration and the Democrat
3) machine.

During the Obama Administration, real whistleblowers were prosecuted as ‘leakers’. The Attorney General handed guns over to the Cartels in Mexico, which caused the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry. The Secretary of State approved the sale of one-fifth

“Trump said on Sunday that the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, should not testify before Congress, setting up another confrontation with Democrats over presidential authority and the separation of powers.” ⁦@nytimes⁩ nytimes.com/2019/05/05/us/…
⏰ FEAR? How are the @TheJusticeDept & @FBI dealing with all this? Everyone “just following orders"? Going along to get along? Is their allegiance to Trump, the @GOP, some ideology, or to the constitution? Are they powerless? Looking for excuses & pretexts to hide in the shadows?
“Fascism is a form of radical, right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society & of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.” - WikiPedia @Wikipedia

Trump’s circle is still in legal peril: “the biggest legal minefield here is the number of different offices looking at this,” said Berit Berger, a former federal prosecutor who’s now at Columbia Law School. “You can’t say they’re all witch hunts.” chicagotribune.com/news/nationwor…
As we wait for Barr to reveal the Mueller Report, let’s review.

This article provides a good overview of the many ongoing investigations into TeamTrump all of which are being handled by the DOJ or have been framed out to other jurisdictions.
Remember Mueller’s focus is narrow.
📌Federal prosecutors in New York are investigating the Trump Organization and his 2016 campaign for possible campaign finance violations.

📌They’ve also issued subpoenas to Trump’s inaugural committee.

#Trump makes a move toward peace in #Syria. Uproar! He tries to overthrow #Venezuela's sovereignty. No problem. The hypocrisy of the Western Liberal Left. Remember that the Left in the West was the bulwark for anti-war protest, and now they’re bloodthirsty vultures. Disgusting.
People believe it's vile that "#Russia interfered in a US election," and yet they support the US overthrowing democracy in #Venezuela. No matter your political ideology, the undeniable fact is that #Maduro was democratically elected in an election the opposition CHOSE to boycott.
You dont have to be a leftist/socialist to be against American interventionism in any sovereign state. The media is painting the events in #Venezuela as an “anti-socialism” struggle so the #Trump voters will get behind it when it’s a matter of the US meddling in foreign affairs.

#Ukraine’s on the verge of martial law b/c #Russia just seriously escalated its 4yo illegal war—blocking key Kerch Strait, firing on & seizing 3 Ukrainian navy ships, wounding 6 Ukrainian sailors—AND Trump attacks NATO & EU. Appalling, terrifying & expected of a #PutinPuppet.
#Russia’s fresh aggression in its 4+yr illegal war on #Ukraine is a crisis with advance warning. Read @KyivPost’s coverage of Russia’s military threats to gain control of Azov Sea kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi… via @BSBonner #KerchStrait #KerchBlockade #PutinWar #RussiaAttacksUkraine
