THE UKRAINIAN GAS COMPANY'S ROLE: Weeks after @SecretaryPerry recommended Texas investors for the NAFTOGAZ board, a lobbyist for the Ukrainian gov't-owned gas company helped arrange DC mtgs for a top ZELENSKY aide who was trying to meet with RUDY GIULIANI. nytimes.com/2019/10/07/us/…
@SecretaryPerry RUDY GIULIANI's Ukrainian researcher LEV PARNAS got rejected by the NAFTOGAZ CEO for a liquefied natural gas deal early this year.

So Parnas hatched a plan to use his TRUMP connections to replace the CEO with a presumptive ally.

That didn't work either. nytimes.com/2019/10/07/us/…
One of the Texas investors that @SecretaryPERRY recommended @ZELENSKYYua add to the board of the Ukrainian government-owned gas company Naftogaz, Michael Bleyzer, is a @GOP donor who has sought to use his political connections to win business with Naftogaz nytimes.com/2019/10/07/us/…

BOLTON'S REVELATIONS:

• TRUMP tried to halt criminal investigations to help "dictators he liked”
• TRUMP did not seem to know that Britain is a nuclear power & asked if Finland is part of Russia
• POMPEO indicated he thought Trump was "so full of shit”
nytimes.com/2020/06/17/us/…
BOLTON's book claims TRUMP tried to intervene in investigations into:

• HALKBANK (to curry favor with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan).
• ZTE (to curry favor with Chinese President Xi Jinping).

(both companies retained lobbyists close to Trump) nytimes.com/2020/06/17/us/…

• TRUMP was seeking to enlist reelection help from Chinese President Xi Jinping.

SCOOP: @SkaddenArps paid $11M to @YuliaTymoshenko & her lawyer to avoid a lawsuit related to the firm's work with PAUL MANAFORT on a report used by Ukraine's pro-Russian gov't to justify her imprisonment on charges that the US deemed politically motivated.
nytimes.com/2020/05/10/us/…
The fallout from @SkaddenArps work with PAUL MANAFORT for Ukraine's Russia-aligned gov't now includes:
▶️$4.6M to settle with @TheJusticeDept.
▶️$11M to settle with TYMOSHENKO et al
▶️30 days in prison for VAN DER ZWAAN
▶️indictment/acquittal of GREG CRAIG
nytimes.com/2020/05/10/us/…
Ukrainian & Russian media (inaccurately) speculated the $ paid to TYMOSHENKO might be an effort to:
▶️launder foreign $ into her party kp.ru/daily/27126/42…
▶️hide the source of her $ pravda.com.ua/columns/2020/0…
▶️neutralize questions about cars & clothes ukrrudprom.com/digest/Dengi_i…
