Trump watching Fox Business again this morning.

Left, Fox Business, 6:00 a.m.
Right, Trump, 6:37 a.m.
The Fox-obtained "documents" in question are Trump personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani's notes from an interview he did with Viktor Shokin, the corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor Biden got fired. Fox is building a segment around this because it's effectively state TV.
Fox & Friends running with this too. Amazing that they were able to obtain Giuliani's notes, I'm sure it involved significant journalism and not just Rudy handing them over knowing they'd report them as news.

Seattle's once-celebrated KOMO News station, purchased by Sinclair Broadcast Network in 2013, is now just a local Fox News. What a shame for the city.
When KOMO ran a similar documentary on local homelessness in March, it moved through the right-wing media ecosystem and was all over Fox in less than a week.
That prior KOMO documentary was woven into a broader push on Sinclair stations and on Fox to vilify people experiencing homelessness.

A busy evening and morning for the president: Watching Fox News, telling people to watch Fox News, tweeting clips from Fox News.

Very normal presidential behavior here.

By popular demand.

Left, Fox's Shepard Smith Reporting, 3 p.m.

"Time to meet Igor and Lev. They reportedly enjoyed lunch hours ago with one Rudy Giuliani."

Right, The Atlantic

At 3 PM, Giuliani reportedly shouts "asshole" at the TV.
All three cables were covering Parnas/Fruman/Giuliani at the top of the 3 p.m. hour. But Rudy is most likely to be watching Fox, and of the three, Shep's segment seems the most likely to trigger a shouted "asshole" to me.
This is pure, unadulterated venom.

1/16 It has begun. The GOP is spinning that the sole transcript Trump says he will release is more important than the #WhistleblowerComplaint as a tactic to insist everything should ride on this one supposed piece of evidence.

#ImpeachTrump #ImpeachmentParty #UkraineTranscript
2/16 All reports indicate this was a months-long conspiracy Trump and Giuliani were engaged in, subverting & bypassing officials who tried to stop them.

A single call does not BEGIN to give an accurate depiction of the events that lead up to this. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
3/16 And Trump already has a shady history with releasing information.

Forget the obvious like his tax returns, school grades, and secret meetings with Putin.

Actually, a reminder of those secret meetings:

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.

#Trump campaign #BradPascale in #Romania makes me ponder a few questions:
🤔
-Using trip to influence US Romania emigrant voters?
-Purpose is to offer #socialmedia manipulation advice for #EU May vote?
-Perfect opportunity to meet with other election manipulators in the region?

Could Romanian media influence Romanian American voters?
As Romanian immigrants in America steadily increase, the population of Romanian voters might be heavily influenced by the strong ties to political and religious opinions held by leaders in Romania.

Rudy’s friend Pavel Fuchs 'made threat' after Trump inauguration aljazeera.com/news/2019/01/o…
Pavel Fuchs, a Ukrainian oligarch who negotiated with Trump and reportedly works with his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, stands accused of making a threat of violence against a US-based businessman involved in selling him “bad” inauguration seats
Fuchs was furious that two tickets he purchased for $200,000 left him and a Ukrainian member of parliament with bad seats, according to two well-placed sources speaking to Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit, a Ukrainian newspaper editor and other journalists.

Um not legal?
