So, I'm trying to contrive an analogous conversation in the context of quid pro quo under Title VII to show how NUTS the Ukraine Purse String Hoax is...Susie comes in and Donald congratulates her on her recent marriage. Donald says the ceremony went off without a hitch even 1/
2/ after the union strike threatened the reception, but I've been very good to you and your family, and helped pay for a substitute venue. Then Donald discusses need to resolve the issues in the controller's office because the prior CFA had embezzled money.
3/ Look I need your help Donald says. I need you to investigate whether the controller was involved in the embezzlement. Sally: HARASSER. Donald mentioned my marriage and then asked for a favor. Quid Pro Quo. That's how ridiculous it is!!

THREAD: I'm still noodling on this response. But here are my initial thoughts. I don't want to know if the IG EVER required 1st hand knowledge, I want to know if anyone ever submitted a form where they didn't mark first hand knowledge. 1/
2/ because it was marked VERY clearly FIRST HAND INFORMATION REQUIRED. Who is going to fill out a form and check they didn't have first hand info if the form says it's required! AND why stress that?
3/ And ICIG Training for EMPLOYEES from 2016 gives this nice little summary of what to include.

THREAD: My latest @FDRLST exposes several significant details in the Ukraine Purse-Strings Hoax--so important it merits additional highlighting here. thefederalist.com/2019/09/30/did… So, read the piece first, and then follow along. 1/
@FDRLST 2/ The key here is to understanding that the Intelligence Community Whistle Protection Act "ICWPA" authorizes sharing classified info w/ intelligence communities only in limited circumstances.
@FDRLST 3/ AND that the first step is for the Inspector General to "accept" a complaint under the ICWPA. Simple illustration: If CIA agent filed a sexual harassment claim with IG under ICWPA the IG would reject filing. IG wouldn't assess credibiity & pass on to DNI.

THREAD

Today, the Ohio Democratic Party released an updated timeline of @senrobportman 's intense involvement in the Ukraine crisis that is now the center of the impeachment inquiry.
@senrobportman 2/30

The bottom line is that as chair of the Ukraine Caucus, Portman didn’t only have a front row seat to the entire ordeal — it appears that he was directly engaged with all sides of what was a deeply problematic conversation as that conversation occurred.
@senrobportman 3/30

Portman owes Ohioans and all Americans a full and transparent account of what he knew, when he knew it and what steps he took once it became clear what Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani were up to.

The wrong answers about the impeachment insanity are in the article. Worth reading to know the false premises & arguments
BUT
The reasons none of them stand up to reality are in this thread

1. Trump asked #Ukraine to dig up dirt on political rivals

Reality- As evidenced in the transcript Trump asked them to investigate election interference & potential corruption by #BidenCorruption
&
We have a treaty for such requests
Which he followed
congress.gov/treaty-documen…
Bill Clinton signed this agreement and it calls for the US to ask Ukraine to work with our Attorney General when issues of potential criminality are identified.

The fact that some of those identified as potential criminals are political rivals of Trump is not relevant

As @RitaKonaev notes, "Mattis had no problem disagreeing w/Obama about transgender people in the military or women in combat but won’t criticize Trump for asking foreign powers for dirt about political opponents.

This isn’t about him being above politics. This is his politics."
Excellent point here, and makes you wonder why Mattis' deference to the commander-in-chief is selectively applied in this manner 🤔
7 freshman House Ds, all with natsec experience: "If true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense ...

We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available, including inherent contempt."

The Anti-Trump Whistleblower Story Looks Like Another Phony Scandal pjmedia.com/trending/the-a…
The whistleblower didn't have direct knowledge of the communications, an official briefed on the matter told CNN.
Instead, the whistleblower's concerns came in part from learning information that was not obtained during the course of their work.

Amid a new House probe into whether Trump is w/holding aid to #Ukraine for its defense v. #Russia in exchange for fake “dirt” on Biden, check out @ViolaGienger’s deep dive.

Thread ...

“President Trump and his personal attorney appear to have increased pressure on the Ukrainian government and its justice system in service of President Trump’s reelection campaign." -- @RepEliotEngel @RepAdamSchiff @RepCummings in letters to WH & State.
.@violagienger notes "It was the widely known & publicly espoused position of the USG, across a half dozen agencies, that the prosecutor’s ouster was among crucial anti-corruption measures the Ukrainian government needed to take to move forward economically and politically."
