Reported on May 9: Victoria Toensing, who represents Erik Prince [and as of Sep, Firtash] and advises Trump on legal matters, met with Ukraine’s General Prosecutor about opening inquiries into Biden's son and was to accompany Giuliani in May to Ukraine.
Chris Wallace: “According to a top US official, all three – Rudy Giuliani, Joe diGenova, and Victoria Toensing – were working ‘off the books,’ apart from the administration. The only person in government that knows what they were doing is Trump.” mediaite.com/tv/chris-walla…

Because Trump is trying to exonerate Putin in an effort to lift Russian sanctions – which has been Putin's goal since he installed Trump in the White House. Also, progress on Trump's Moscow Tower hinges on getting sanctions lifted.
Trump AG Bill Barr has held private meetings overseas with foreign intelligence officials seeking their help in a Justice Department inquiry that Trump hopes will discredit US intelligence agencies’ examination of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

BUSTED: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was among the administration officials who listened in on the July 25 call when Trump solicited election help from Ukrainian President Zelensky.
#Maddow wsj.com/articles/mccon…
via @kaitlancollins: When ABC asked Pompeo eight days ago what he knew about Trump's conversations with Zelensky about pushing for an investigation into the Bidens, he said, "You just gave me a report...none of which I've seen."
#Maddow
@kaitlancollins "Pompeo was among officials who listened in on the July 25 call when Trump solicited election help from Zelensky."

When he was asked 8 days ago what he knew about Trump's conversations with Zelensky pushing for a probe into the Bidens, Pompeo played dumb.

BREAKING: Trump pushed the Australian prime minister during a recent call to help AG Barr gather information for an inquiry intended to discredit the Mueller probe. The WH also restricted access to the call transcript.
by @MarkMazzettiNYT @ktbenner #Maddow nyti.ms/2oJL1jT
@MarkMazzettiNYT @ktbenner And like the call with Ukrainian President Zelensky, the discussion with Australian Prime Minister Morrison shows Trump using high-level 'diplomacy' to advance his personal political interests.
#Maddow
@MarkMazzettiNYT @ktbenner Trump initiated the discussion in recent weeks with Australian Prime Minister Morrison explicitly for the purpose of requesting Australia’s help in the DOJ review of the Russia investigation.

**Barr requested that Trump speak to Mr. Morrison**

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 🤔

“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."

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”
vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/h…
@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

New evidence suggests #Ukraine played a key role in creating Trump-#RussianCollusion narrative at the behest of @BarackObama officials
theepochtimes.com/joe-biden-obam…
As #Ukraine underwent dramatic changes in 2014, then-VP @JoeBiden played a critical role in the @BarackObama admin’s involvement in the revolution that ousted #Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

Following the revolution, Biden would use his influence to help force the…
… creation of the troubled National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU). Notably, during the 2016 elections information leaked from NABU on Trump’s campaign manager #PaulManafort that helped to create the false #RussianCollusion narrative.
