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-…
@ZelenskyyUa 4/On Aug 26th, 12 days after the CIA made a criminal referral of the President to DOJ, the Republicans take the FEC offline. The FEC would have the ability to investigate Trump's election law violations if DOJ passed - but not if it were shuttered. npr.org/2019/08/30/755…
@ZelenskyyUa 5/President doesn't release Ukraine aid until Sept 12th, a month after WH knew CIA had made criminal referral to DOJ. That he held the aid for that long demonstrates how important this project was to him. cnn.com/2019/09/30/pol…
@ZelenskyyUa 6/Worried Zelenskyy did buckle a bit to Trump's shakedown. Annc about previous cases being reviewed by Ukrainian prosecutor, and this deal with Putin which Trump talked about relentlessly last week at the UN.
@ZelenskyyUa 7/So much tumbling out now, just wanted to share some notes on important things didn't want to get lost in the days ahead.
One thing Dems should do now - demand the FEC be reopened, start filing FEC complaints against the President and those involved in the illegal shakedown.
