Remember this line from the whistle-blower complaint?

What exactly WAS that "deal with President Putin" that Trump referenced here?

Thanks to @JuliaDavisNews, now we know. 1/5
But first, look again at this paragraph. Note that Trump seems to be making the "deal with Putin" a precondition to come to the White House. 2/5
Zelenskyy got hoodwinked by Trump into signing Ukraine to the Steinmeier Formula on Tuesday.

🚨Now local elections in the Donbass area will be allowed to take place BEFORE Kyiv has control of the border, while RU forces are still there. 3/5

Zelenskyy seems a bit shell-shocked and might not have fully understood what he was signing. 4/5
"Trump let Zelensky down. 3 times he told him: 'Go meet with Putin," said the host of RU 60 Minutes.

"After his ‘triumphant’ meeting with the US president, Zelensky had no choice but TO LIE BACK AND ENJOY IT… We know what happened in the U.S. You have nowhere left to go." 5/5

So it turns out Trump's been humiliating himself with foreign leaders about as much as you would have guessed.

Here are a few colorful examples that WaPo received from "12 former or current officials." ⬇️

washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
Trump to Putin:

1) He fawned over him and apologized profusely for not calling him sooner.

2) "He was like, 'Oh my gosh, my people didn’t tell me you wanted to talk to me!"

3) He asked Putin for advice in becoming friends with Kim Jong Un.
Trump to Saudi officials:

I think you guys should be in the G7. I'm going to get you in the G7.

"Two of President Trump’s top envoys to Ukraine drafted a statement for the country’s new president in August that would have committed Ukraine to pursuing investigations sought by Mr. Trump into his political rivals."

ARE WE DONE YET??

nytimes.com/2019/10/03/us/…
"The statement was drafted by Gordon D. Sondland, the United States ambassador to the European Union, and Kurt D. Volker, then the State Department’s envoy to Ukraine, according to the three people who have been briefed on it."
"The idea behind the statement was to break the Ukrainians of their habit of promising American diplomats and leaders behind closed doors that they would look into matters and never follow through."

BREAK THEM OF THEIR "HABIT"!!!!!!!!!

Giuliani has been in regular contact with KEVIN DOWNING, the same Manafort lawyer who was "feeding" Sean Hannity information he could use to discredit the Mueller probe.

Consider this a continuation of that effort.

1/4
Here is a thread I wrote a few months ago detailing how Manafort, Downing and SEAN HANNITY conspired to taint the jury pool for Manafort's EDVA trial.

Their efforts appear to have successfully tilted Manafort's trial in their favor. 2/4

After the EDVA trial, their strategy shifted ahead of dealing with the prosecution of charges in DC.

The clear strategy there (pretend to cooperate while lying to investigators and passing info back to Trump) was protect to Trump and wait for a pardon. 3/4

The whistle-blower complaint is out: intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

I'll thread my thoughts here
This guy knows how to write a nut graph.
The whistle-blower anticipated the potential public release of this document and carefully wrote it to exclude any classified info (which was included in a separate appendix) so that it could be released.

This confirms my tweet from 4 days ago.

What did the IG find so bad about the report?

The report itself.

@realDonaldTrump read "The Art of War," before he read "Rules for Radicals."

Fellow Citizens, Donald Trump is Alinskying libs.

Trump is using their Rules against them and they do not know how to react. One "Presidential Crisis" after another, Donald Trump exposed the hypocrisy of the left, their crimes, and his innocence.

While showing them for the incompetent leaders they are.

Oh, snap! It's about to get ugly.
"You have to make sure you're not putting your party ahead of what is correct in this case... You should be calling for all of this to be sent to the intelligence committee. That's what the law says & that is what you should be advocating." Frmer Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R)
"This was not made by somebody living in outer space. This was somebody who was very concerned about what they heard on a communication, turned it over to the inspector general, who declared it a major problem. And now the administration won't follow the law." Gov John Kasich (R)

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

#Putin's opening to this press conference suggests the takeover of southern #Syria by Asad/Iran is a model of U.S.-Russia cooperation that should be expanded, and flatters Trump that his summit with Kim [which Putin very much liked the look of] resolved the Korean Peninsula.
On #Ukraine, Putin hints broadly that the U.S. agrees with him that Kyiv's intransigence prevented Minsk's implementation, and then carefully lets it be known Trump brought up the election meddling, an assist to Trump politically, before of course dismissing it.
Trump frames engagement around U.S.-Russian co-operation in WW2, notes that unfortunate Cold War business, then says: "Our relationship has never been worse ... that changed as of about four hours ago." Says he is being politically brave to do what's right. Lambastes media + Dems
