NEWS: Amb. Kurt Volker debunked whistleblower claim in testimony to Congress:

"At no time was I aware of or took part in an effort to urge Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Biden."

WB claimed Volker advised Ukrainians on how to “navigate” Trump's demand to Zelensky.
Volker told Congress he didn't know Biden was mentioned on Trump-Zelensky call.

This debunks whistleblower claim that Volker advised Ukrainians on how to handle Trump's request to investigate Biden.

Testimony: scribd.com/document/42877…
Amb. Volker told Congress he thought Lutsenko's allegations about Biden were self-serving.

Volker: "The suggestion that [Biden] would be influenced in his duties as Vice President by money for his son simply has no
credibility to me."
Volker told Rudy Giuliani that Lutsenko was not credible shortly before Giuliani canceled trip to Ukraine.

Intelligence Community Refuses to Release Dan Coats Memo Tied to Whistleblower Complaint

theepochtimes.com/intelligence-c…
This "secret" Dan Coats memo is in the footnotes of ICIG Atkinson's letter to DNI Maguire which accompanied the whistleblower complaint.
I first looked into the memo because of the particular timing of Dan Coats' creation of the Election Threats Executive—July 19—the day after Trump placed a hold on aid to Ukraine.

My interviews and research did not surface a connection between the two.

FBI’s Use of Foreign-Surveillance Tool Violated Americans’ Privacy Rights, Court Found

wsj.com/articles/fbis-…
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ruled LAST YEAR that the FBI violated Americans' Fourth Amendment rights by conducting "tens of thousands" of improper searches

The intelligence community notified The Wall Street Journal about that today.

Neat.

Nancy Pelosi's son in Kiev in 2017... talking about "soccer."
Paul Pelosi Jr. visited Ukraine in his role as the executive director of the Corporate Governance Initiative, a role he took on on Feb. 1, 2017.
The Corporate Governance Initiative is "an organization committed to assisting organizations to adhere to a system of guidelines, practices, and procedures by which a company is directed."

Not sure what that has to do with "soccer."

🚨Thread on Ukraine 10/11/19

1)Yesterday, the Southern District of New York indicted two associates of Mayor Rudy Giuliani
2)Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were arrested at Dulles Airport and charged w/ campaign finance violations

The two men, who are also American citizens, have a background in Ukraine. They helped point the Mayor in the right direction during his investigation of Ukraine interference
3)While conducting his investigation, Rudy did not meet with any active member of the Ukraine Government, until the State Dept coordinated a meeting with the Mayor and Andrey Yermak. We'll get to that later.

Impeachment Collusion & MAGA Counterattack

October 9, 2019 by David John Weaver @davidjohnweave

1) Much is happening now that confirms to me that President Trump, his administration, and Congressional Republicans are FINALLY taking action against the Democrats, Media, and Deep
2) ... State. “Coup” is now a term used daily with respect to George Soros, world governments, Democrats, Intelligence Community, federal employees et al in partnership with the Media. One must be sleeping or heavily brain washed to continue to ignore the open signs of treason
3) ... in the United States of America.

Everything is moving based on the phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the phone call, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked for help from Rudy Giuliani by name. Since that

Volker Testimony Directly Contradicted Democrat Impeachment Narrative thefederalist.com/2019/10/04/tes…
Congressional testimony from the former top American envoy to Ukraine directly contradicts the impeachment narrative offered by congressional Democrats and their media allies.
Ambassador Kurt Volker, who served for two years as the top U.S. diplomatic envoy to Ukraine, testified on Thursday that he was never aware of and never took part in any effort to push the Ukrainian government to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden or his son Hunter.

Volker told lawmakers he did not partake in urging #Ukraine to investigate @JoeBiden.

The testimony directly contradicted a hearsay claim in the anonymous #WhistleblowersComplaint suggesting that #Volker and the @USAmbEU, #GordonSondland engaged with Ukrainian officials to…
…help them handle Trump’s request to investigate #Biden.

Volker: "At no time was I aware of or took part in an effort to urge Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Biden."
Volker: "I believed that the President’s long-held negative view toward Ukraine was causing hesitation in actually scheduling the meeting."

Sorry Dems.

Sounds like Volker's testimony yesterday was a pretty incredible display of gymnastics. nytimes.com/2019/10/04/us/…
Volker, in testimony: I never urged Ukraine to investigate Biden.

Volker, responding to a text in August about whether 'we' want Zelensky to give a press conferencing announcing Ukraine was investigating Biden: "Yes, I'm hoping we can convince him to do that!"
Volker, in testimony: This was all Giuliani's idea, it was Giuliani who wanted Ukraine to make a statement about Burisma and 2016. I convinced Ukraine not to.

Volker, in response to Ukraine's proposal to name Burisma and 2016 as investigation targets: "Sounds great!"
