1. The horrors of this need to be followed through with a hypothetical.

Trump and @RudyGiuliani had a some sort of desired outcome here for pressing Ukraine to criminally investigate Biden and his son.

What if indicted? Did they - with Barr - expect to...
@RudyGiuliani 2...extradite the former Vice President and/or his son for prosecution in Ukraine, in a case they had pressed for Ukraine to conduct while holding its appropriations hostage?

And if they didn't intend to extradite, were they simply trying to manipulate the criminal system...
@RudyGiuliani 3...of a foreign nation so that they had talking points on Fox?

What was the end game here? Explain it @RudyGiuliani: What were you after? And if you thought a crime happened, why did you not go to the FBI and use the legat system?...
@RudyGiuliani 4...the horrifying reality here. These people may well have been planning to use the power of the presidency to pressure Ukraine into conducting a criminal investigation of Biden so they could lock up a political opponent. In Ukraine.

Otherwise, what was the point? This is...
@RudyGiuliani 5...evil beyond measure. It is Putin/Kim Jong Un level corruption. This must be why they didnt go to FBI: They had no means to press an outcome.

They need to be forced to explain this. What was their end game? & why did they not go to the FBI if they believed a crime occurred?

1. I am hearing more often about parents of kids with #epilepsy refusing to give their kids admittedly rough medication treatments on the basis of what they find on the Internet.

Epilepsy kills. And if you do this nonsense and your child does, you belong in prison.....
2...I know there are plenty of adults who craft “self treatment” nonsense after attendibg Google University Medical School, but if their stupidity kills them, at least it is their choice. Children depend on parents acting reasonably, and deciding that you - with no training -...
3...are smarter than people who trained for 12 years & rely on decades of research is foolhardiness. Things you “hear” or “read” are not treatments - they are things to discuss with your MD. Your ignorance can kill your kid. So love your kid more than you love your philosophies.

Retweet to your favorite reporter.

1. One of the most frustrating things about the so-called Biden scandal and the @GOP and @RudyGiuliani endless lying is that reporters know its false, but stllil them get away with falsehoods that can destabilize Ukraine. So, a primer...
@GOP @RudyGiuliani 2....let's start with the overview, mentioned above. These GOPrs are either incredibly stupid or are willing to destabilize a nation fighting Russia for the sole purpose of creating talking points. It is no coincidence that they are picking up Russian propaganda - knowingly or...
@GOP @RudyGiuliani 3...unknowingly, lying about basic facts in their endless efforts to change the subject or deceive their gullible believers.

First, total basics:

1. There was *never* a Hunter Biden investigation to stop.
2. There was *never* a Joe Biden investigation...

This is jaw droppingly transparent and unbelievable but...

In August, after whistleblower filed his report, @StateDept launched an investigation...of Hilary Clinton’s emails. Dating back a decade. Have now contacted 180 ppl. Investigators say theyre facing outside pressure.
...and no, this is not a joke or sarcasm. They are really doing it.

This could end up an article of impeachment for abuse of power.

@SecPompeo: don’t you get it? The reason you and trump are IN this situation is for using levers of government to go after political opponents.
The issue is they have retroactively - like a decade later - upclassified some, meaning that they now are classified. They are saying that people who had no access to SCIFs should have been sending emails by SCIF. This concept is stupid and would grind diplomacy to a halt.

🚨 “Lutsenko, who was fired as prosecutor general last month, said he had urged Giuliani to launch a U.S. inquiry and go to court if he had any evidence but not to use Ukraine to conduct a political vendetta that could affect the U.S. election.” latimes.com/politics/story…
It just keeps getting worse for #RudyGiuliani and his role as a co-conspirator with Donald Trump and possibly others.
“Ukraine’s top law enforcement official repeatedly rebuffed President Trump’s personal lawyer’s demands to investigate Joe Biden and his son, insisting he had seen no evidence of wrongdoing that he could pursue despite Trump’s allegations.”

‼️WHISTLEBLOWER THEORY‼️

Let’s take the Biden ’dirt’ hunt aspect out of the story & set it aside as a horrific diversion for now.

The truth is much worse.

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

Putin quid pro quo?

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."
