Jul 10: Fiona Hill reported Sondland's comments re a quid pro quo deal with Ukraine to chief NSC lawyer John Eisenberg
Jul 25: Eisenberg ordered the Trump-Zelensky call transcript to be locked down
Aug 14: Eisenberg alerted DOJ about the WB complaint
WH lawyers conducting an internal review of the Ukraine call have focused on Eisenberg and his decision to "lock down" the transcript then remain silent when he learned NSC staff had concerns about the call.

LOL. Like he ran the cover up all by himself.

Trump, at Erdogan's behest, directing Barr, Mnuchin, and Pompeo to intervene in a federal investigation of Turkish bank, Halkbank's massive scheme to evade sanctions on Iran, because it might implicate Erdogan––seems illegal, right, @Delavegalaw, @Mimirocah1, @JoyceWhiteVance?
@Delavegalaw @Mimirocah1 @JoyceWhiteVance In an Apr, after Trump told Erdogan that Barr & Mnuchin would handle SDNY, no action had been taken against Halkbank for its scheme to evade Iran sanctions––until last week when Trump needed to save face with GOP after getting rolled by Erdogan over Syria.

NEW: Giuliani urged Trump to eject the US, Fethullah Gulen, the Muslim cleric who Mike Flynn plotted to kidnap, a top priority of Erdogan. Trump wanted to do it, but appalled advisers blocked him. Aides worried Giuliani was doing Turkey’s bidding.
#Maddow wapo.st/2MhpsjO
Giuliani brought up Gulen frequently with Trump during White House visits and was "so focused" on the issue, it worried senior officials. “We’re not going to arrest [Gulen] to do a solid for Erdogan.”

However, Trump was receptive to the idea
#Maddow
Trump asked frequently about why Gulen couldn’t be turned over to Turkey, referring to Erdogan as “my friend.”

Recall, in 2016, Trump campaign official Mike Flynn plotted to kidnap Gulen and return him to Turkey for a cool $15M.

Firtash was financing Parnas and Fruman's activities.

Parnas paid Trump's free lawyer Giuliani $500K. Ergo, Firtash was financing Giuliani's dirty work for Trump in Ukraine.

Reminds me of another Firtash bagman: Trump's free campaign manager, Manafort.
Firtash was “financing” the activities of Fruman and Parnas, who paid $500,000 to Rudy Giuliani, who was working for Trump for "free."
Giuliani has met with Manafort, whose pro-Putin dirty work in Ukraine was financed by Russia mobster, Firtash, who also financed:
-Kyiv mayor Klitschko's campaign, which Giuliani advised and is now being investigated for
-Parnas and Fruman's activities

🍑Meltdown🍑

Pelosi owns Trump & signals Article 5 re Trump/Putin.

Dbl Jeopardy loophole closed

Trump ignored Syria exit

Syria = BD gift to Putin

Trump’s Syria Fiasco Is Part of Putin’s To-Do List

Giuliani under counterintel inv’n, like Ivanka & likely most of TeamTrump.
🍑Meltdown2🍑

Syria stategy: avoid a violent rush to fill a power vacuum opened by a sudden U.S. exit.

Trump Abandoned almost 5 years of training & dev’t of an allied force, & gift-wrapping it for the RUs & Assad has been devastating to our morale," said the NSC official.
🍑Meltdown3🍑

Trump assigned Barr & Mnuchin to appease Erdogan’s repeated pleas to avoid charges against Halkbank

Halkbank charged w/fraud, money laundering, & sanctions offenses related to the bank’s participation in a multibillion-dollar scheme to evade US sanctions on Iran

🚨John Bolton told Fiona Hill to alert the National Security Council’s top lawyer about a rogue effort by Gordon Sondland, Rudy Giuliani & Mick Mulvaney to pressure #Ukraine.

“I am not part of whatever drug deal Sondland & Mulvaney are cooking up.”
nytimes.com/2019/10/14/us/…
Hill testified that Bolton previously expressed grave concerns about the rogue effort to pressure #Ukraine being run by Giuliani: “Giuliani’s a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up.”🔥
🔥At a July 10 meeting w/Sondland, Volker, Rick Perry, and 2 Ukrainians, Bolton tried not to commit to a Trump/Zelensky meeting. Sondland got agitated b/c there was an agreement w/Mulvaney that there would be a meeting if #Ukraine opened up the investigations the WH was seeking.

Bolton Objected to Ukraine Pressure Campaign, Calling Giuliani ‘a Hand Grenade’ nyti.ms/2ISjLqG
The effort to pressure Ukraine for political help provoked a heated confrontation inside the White House last summer that so alarmed John R. Bolton, then the national security adviser, that he told an aide to alert White House lawyers, House investigators were told on Monday.
Mr. Bolton got into a sharp exchange on July 10 with Gordon D. Sondland, Trump donor turned ambassador to the European Union, who was working with Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, to press Ukraine to investigate Democrats, according to testimony provided to the investigators.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop that Bolton is whistleblower #2...
"Bolton instructed Fiona Hill, the senior director for Russian and Eurasian affairs, to notify the chief lawyer for the National Security Council that Giuliani was working with Mulvaney on a rogue operation with legal implications..."

🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I am not part of whatever drug deal Rudy and Mulvaney are cooking up,” Bolton, a Yale-trained lawyer, told Ms. Hill to tell White House lawyers.

1/16 It has begun. The GOP is spinning that the sole transcript Trump says he will release is more important than the #WhistleblowerComplaint as a tactic to insist everything should ride on this one supposed piece of evidence.

#ImpeachTrump #ImpeachmentParty #UkraineTranscript
2/16 All reports indicate this was a months-long conspiracy Trump and Giuliani were engaged in, subverting & bypassing officials who tried to stop them.

A single call does not BEGIN to give an accurate depiction of the events that lead up to this. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
3/16 And Trump already has a shady history with releasing information.

Forget the obvious like his tax returns, school grades, and secret meetings with Putin.

Actually, a reminder of those secret meetings:
