BREAKING: As Trump bullied Ukraine to investigate his political rival Joe Biden, Trump donors Parnas, Fruman, and Sargeant – associates of Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani – were hatching a plan to profit from Ukraine’s state-run natural gas company. apnews.com/d7440cffba4940…
Sargeant, who donated $100K in Jun to the Trump Victory Fund, told a senior exec at Ukraine’s state-run gas company that he regularly meets with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and that the gas-sales plan had Trump’s full support [because he's getting a cut?].

A former business partner of Favorov [senior exec at Ukraine’s state-run gas company, Naftogaz] said that Favorov described his meeting with Sargeant, Fruman, and Parnas to him soon after it happened and that Favorov perceived it to be a shakedown.

Who here thinks that TRUMP planned on getting a cut of this deal?🙋🏻♀️
In recent months, Trump's lawyer, Giuliani, met with imprisoned Paul Manafort, whose pro-Putin dirty work in Ukraine was financed by Russia mobster Dmitry Firtash, who was “the de-facto head of Naftogaz [Ukrainian state-owned gas company] under Yanukovych.”wapo.st/2po2crp?tid=ss… 
Because if you're going to run a racket on Ukrainian state-owned gas company, Naftogaz, who better to go to for advice than Manafort, bagman for Firtash, who made billions doing the very same and, though exiled in Austria, still wields power in Ukraine.
