Reading these texts, and there is a lot to digest:
1. It's clear Bill Taylor, senior US diplomat in Kyiv, was very disturbed by linkage between US aid/political investigation
2. Striking how Rudy Giuliani is being lobbied by two US diplomats to influence Trump, a shadow fopo
3. Volker was aware from White House that plan for July 25th call was to link WH visit 'assuming President Z convinces Trump he will investigate'
4. Trump was personally driving this. 'i think potus realy wants the deliverable,' Sondlond texted.
5.The mystery of Gordon Sondland's role needs to be cleared up. When Bill Taylor texts that 'it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign,' Sondland objects, tells him to call SecState Pompeo or his exec secy Lisa Kenna directly

My new Letter from Washington is up: The Enemies of the People Have Some Questions, Mr. President newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…
2/ The White House has killed the daily press briefings and hasn’t held one since January. I asked White House correspondents what they’d ask if they could. Among the many important questions:
3/ ‘what exactly is happening with Syria troop withdrawals?’ What specific programs will the White House cancel when it claws back money for the national emergency declaration devoted to the border wall construction? Why after three weeks has that lost not been provided to DoD?

Amb Volker was VERY clear yesterday in his testimony that it is UNTRUE Pres Trump demanded a quid pro quo of Pres Zelensky that US aid was contingent upon an investigation by Ukraine into the Bidens:
1) Pres Zelensky had no knowledge aid was on hold at the time of the call.
2) In the readouts Amb Volker received of the call from not only the US gov't, but also the Ukraine gov't, there was no mention of aid being on hold or a quid pro quo.
3) When Amb Volker met w/Pres Zelensky on 7/26, there was no mention of aid on hold or a quid pro quo.
4) Amb Volker was in direct contact w Pres Zelensky & his team in the weeks to follow & they didn't mention anything to him about a hold on aid. It was until after the @politico story that they brought it up.
5) The aid was getting released regardless of any corruption inv.

NEW: Text messages from Kurt Volker (US Special Envoy to Ukraine), Bill Taylor (top US diplomat in Kyiv), Gordon Sondland (US ambo to EU), Andriy Yermak (advisor to Zelensky).
1. Taylor relays Z’s reluctance to become “instrument in Washington domestic, reelection politics.”
2. Here Volker clearly establishes that the upcoming phone call between Trump and Zelensky is meant to include the latter’s promise to chase up the conspiracy theory of Ukrainian interference in 2016. Precondition for Z/Trump WH meeting.
3. Zelensky aide Yermak here makes clear that investigating Burisma and “election meddling” was indeed part and parcel of “reboot of US-Ukraine relationship.”

NEW: Two of Trump’s top envoys to Ukraine [Volker and Sondland] drafted a statement in Aug for President Zelensky to release that would have committed Ukraine to pursuing investigations sought by Trump into his political rivals [Biden].
by @nytmike #Maddow nyti.ms/2V9ih07
@nytmike The statement they wanted Zelensky to release would have committed Ukraine to investigating Burisma, which had employed Hunter Biden, as well as the debunked conspiracy that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Hillary Clinton. JFC.

NEW: Encrypted text messages show Volker and US Officials Gordon Sondland and Bill Taylor arguing last month over whether Trump was engaged in a quid pro quo as he pressed Ukraine to investigate the Bidens while withholding US aid.

@riotwomennn "As I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign," Bill Taylor [US Embassy in Ukraine] said in a text to US Ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland [who donated $1M to Trump's inaugural].
#Maddow
@riotwomennn .@ChrisMurphyCT: "Bill Taylor is a West Point grad, Vietnam vet, career public servant, and our chief diplomat in Ukraine and an expert on the country.

If Taylor believes the aid [to Ukraine] was withheld to get the interference, that’s big news."

Haven't U wondered why HC funneled 300k to the McCabe family? Haven't U wondered why Turner placed client privilege files on these laptops to prevent the agents from viewing the files on the laptops?

So many laws were broken in this cover-up. Imagine if you had done this, the D's would call for your hanging

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
