🚨BREAKING: @realDonaldTrump pressed Rex Tillerson to help persuade DOJ to drop a criminal case against Rudy Giuliani's client, Iranian-Turk Reza Zarrab, charged w/evading US #sanctions against #Iran.

Rexxon refused b/c it was ILLEGAL & Zarrab cut a deal.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@realDonaldTrump Zarrab cut a deal and testified that a Turkish state-owned bank laundered BILLIONS for #Iran, helping them evade #sanctions, and Erdogan knew of and supported laundering cash for #Iran.🤬

Turkey has so far managed to avoid US penalties over the sanctions-evasion scheme.🙄
@realDonaldTrump More LIES and projection by Trump, who falsely accused @BarackObama of being "soft" on #Iran, yet Trump has schemed to give #Turkey (and his pal Erdogan) a pass for helping #Iran launder BILLIONS, in direct violation of #sanctions.

Total #corruption.🤬

🚨BREAKING: Gordon Sondland intends to testify that the text he wrote denying a quid pro quo with #Ukraine was relayed to him directly by @realDonaldTrump in a call: “It’s only true that the president said it, not that it was the truth.”🔥

#Ukrainegate
washingtonpost.com/world/national…
After acting ambassador to #Ukraine Bill Taylor texted Sondland/ “I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign,” Sondland called @realDonaldTrump, who told Sondland he didn’t “want a quid pro quo…didn’t want anything from #Ukraine.”🔥
Sondland appears to be throwing TRUMP under the bus, basically saying that he took Trump at his word that there wasn’t a quid pro quo with #Ukraine.🧐

🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating whether @RudyGiuliani broke #FARA lobbying laws in his dealings in #Ukraine.

Rudy is in a world of hurt. Does anyone think that he will go to prison for @realDonaldTrump?😎

🚨Former ambassador to #Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch said she was forced out on “the next plane” as a “direct result” of pressure @realDonaldTrump placed on @StateDept, due to false accusations made by @RudyGiuliani.

#Ukrainegate #Corruption #ImpeachTrump
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Yovanovitch was “incredulous” that State decided to remove her based on “unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives,” adding that Rudy’s #Ukrainegate henchmen’s “personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anti-#corruption policy in #Ukraine.”🤬
Trump and cronies never understood that the vast majority of State’s civil servants are patriots who serve our country, NOT any political party.

HUGE thanks to Ambassador Yovanovitch for her dedicated service and courage in speaking TRUTH to power.🇺🇸💙💖

Rudy hired to be the go-between between Trump and Erdogan - per Judge Berman:
Evidence in Zarrab case indicates Rudy’s (old) firm, Greenberg Traurig acted as a foreign agent. (Which, they were on a #FARA for since 2014.)

March ‘16: Reza Zarrab, a Trump Tower Istanbul tenant, arrested for laundering Iranian oil money to avoid U.S. sanctions

Early ‘17: Zarrab retains Giuliani

Late ‘17: Trump asks Tillerson to persuade DOJ to drop its case against Zarrab

DOJ asserted #RezaZarrab engaged in hundreds of millions of dollars from illegal transactions on behalf Iranian entities, which were barred by U.S. sanctions, laundering the proceeds of those illegal transactions & defrauding financial institutions.

Despite potential conflicts of interest, judge says #Giuliani can represent #RezaZarrab. Giuliani’s law firm represented banks that Zarrab defrauded.

Trump Urged Then-Secretary of State Tillerson to Help Drop DOJ Case Against Giuliani’s Client: Report #RezaZarrab #TrumpTowersIstanblul thedailybeast.com/trump-urged-ex… via @thedailybeast
@thedailybeast "President Trump urged then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to help convince the Justice Department to drop a criminal case against Iranian-Turkish trader Reza Zarrab—then a client of Rudy Giuliani—in a 2017 Oval Office meeting, according to Bloomberg."
"Tillerson reportedly refused, saying the move would amount to interference in an active investigation. He is also said to have emphasized to then-CoS John Kelly in a separate conversation that the request to the DOJ would be illegal...." #RezaZarrab #TrumpTowersIstanbul
