What makes the Ukraine scandal so unusual is that it directly touches so many senior people - Pence, Pompeo, Barr, Mulvaney, Maguire, Giuliani - and many more in the WH, State, DOJ. Day to day operations of the Administration likely to be severely impacted, soon.
2/Pompeo sounds like a College Republican repeating silly talking points here and not a senior member of the United States government. It is all just incredible bullshit; and they know they are in trouble.
3/Guess my point here is that all of them will have to testify - Pence, Pompeo, Barr, Mulvaney, Giuliani. It is going to become an extraordinary spectacle.
4/And now we have Barr directly asking government officials in 3 countries - Australia, Italy, UK - for help w/the origins of the Trump investigation. Which means, of course, that his claims to not know what Trump was doing w/Ukraine are total bullshit. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

1/In his new thread Army vet @JasonKander raises what is arguably the most important challenge the nation faces right now - on every issue, in part of the world, Trump has aligned the US with an enemy of the United States, Russia.
@JasonKander 2/Wherever you look - Afghanistan, arms control, 2016 attack on US, Brexit, Europe, G7, Iran, Skripal, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela - Trump has aligned or is attempting to align the US w/Putin; including in making US look feckless, unreliable, weak, spent.

@JasonKander 3/Trump's dangerous fealty to Putin has to become central to the investigation being led by @RepAdamSchiff. While Trump and his entire leadership team may have broken US laws in their pressure efforts on Ukraine, their betrayal is far greater and more consequential than that.

I am a happy contented @Nationals fan. It’s been a great run. Rizzo has been a great GM.

But his struggle in building a complete pitching staff, manage the Nats pitching over many yrs can’t be overlooked any longer. The team as good as it’s been unwatchable at times this season.
2/Through 6 innings of game 3, @Nationals starting pitchers have given up 3 runs. The relievers 13.

This is on Rizzo.
3/Most critical Dodgers hits tonight came from 2 guys batting under .240 this season.

1/Lots going on now so a short thread on some things don't want to get missed in the news crush. First, that Trump has launched ads abt made up wrong doing by Biden in Ukraine CONFIRMS political intent of the project, Trump's corruption story is BS. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
2/Critical new date for the timeline - Aug 14th. CIA general counsel makes CRIMINAL referral of the President to DOJ, White House aware. Will be important to see if WH behavior changed, coverup intensified at this point.
3/Far more attention needed to Aug 24-26 G7 meeting. Trump turned entire event into discussion of relaxation of Russia sanctions, which would in essence cede Crimea to Putin. Coupled w/withheld aid, Trump now representing huge threat to @ZelenskyyUa. reuters.com/article/us-g7-…

#Ukraine call, AG Barr, US Atty Durham, #Spygate & #ItalianSpygate

1. This article is very important to me, because it gives us a glimpse on what's REALLY happening.

AG Wiliam Barr is actively supporting US Att. Durham probe:
(cont. >)

foxnews.com/politics/barr-…
>

2. Why did #POTUS45 ask #Ukraine President #Zelensky about #Biden's illicit activities?

For the same reason he asked #Australia's PM re: matter related to #Mueller probe:

BECAUSE AG BARR ASKED THE PRESIDENT TO DO THAT.

US officials can't go directly...
(cont.>)

#Spygate
>

3. ...to contact foreign authorities without an introduction by #POTUS.

Why did AG Barr do that?

Because he's supporting US Att. Durham's probe.

Hold on, it's wider than we think.

What is Durham investigating?

I want to tell you about #Ukraine’s problems - about the war in the #Donbas and what worries people there.
As you know, it’s planned to simultaneously withdraw troops from the demarcation line in some settlements of the Donbas.
I’ll say you honestly: I was surprised -

pleasantly surprised. Despite the fact that the troops of any of the two sides may carry the threat of shelling (as people say in the occupied territory), they’re concerned about the withdrawal of Ukr troops. For many people there is a fear that Ukraine will abandon

them (they don’t want it to happen). They think so. People on the other side of the demarcation line have a fear that they can be attacked by Russia (“L/DNR”). In short, both sides want peace to come into their homes. But the first ones don’t believe that Ukraine will not

The 650 (and counting) federal prosecutors who were signatories to the letter saying Trump would have been prosecuted for obstruction caught my eye, so I downloaded the .csv file and got to work - my MS in Statistics needed a workout.

The average years of service at the DOJ of this group is 12.56 years. The median is 8.25. These are not rookies. The longest serving person in this group was Jack Kolar, who left the #DOJ after over 41 years, and promptly went to work @GovAcctProj as their director of litigation
These aren't folks with antipathy for Republican Presidents. 63% of them were 1st hired under a Republican President. TWO were actually hired during Eisenhower - Bob Pennoyer, who has since retired as a partner from that lefty law firm, Patterson Belknap, and Richard Medalie.

Here are my (perhaps unconventional) thoughts on the McCabe departure today. I’m not a TV pundit but I did work @ #DOJ for 18 yrs, 15 of which I was employment counsel for DOJ. McCabe is career SES/not political. They couldn’t remove/fire him unless they all reached agreement. /1
I suspect new General Counsel Dana Boente worked on a settlement agreement over weekend to get McCabe to resign in return for McCabe getting to use paid administrative leave + benefits so that he won’t take financial hit. McCabe would have agreed to stop work & depart early. /2
It is not unusual to reach this type of agreement with an employee you need to get out of the office. Although usually the employee would be a poor performer and usually you couldn’t pay him for not working for more than 10 days per DOJ policy. Firing McCabe would be illegal. /3
