This tweet is going to age quite well.

Exhibit A from Bolton on July 10th:

(gotta love the 'stand alone' gray suit, right?)
Exhibit B:
Exhibit C:

"A stable, prosperous, and free Ukraine is key to stability in Europe and beyond."
Exhibit D:

"The U.S. continues to stand with the people of Ukraine."

Aaron Sorkin: An Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg.

nytimes.com/2019/10/31/opi…
"Right now, on your website, is an ad claiming that Joe Biden gave the Ukrainian attorney general a billion dollars not to investigate his son. Every square inch of that is a lie and it’s under your logo. That’s not defending free speech, Mark, that’s assaulting truth."
"After we’d shot [The Social Network] we arranged a private screening...for your COO, Sheryl Sandberg. She stood up in the middle of the screening, turned to the producers...and said, “How can you do this to a kid?”

(You were 26 years old at the time, but all right, I get it.)"

Shout Out to the IRS-CI
/Mini-Thread

IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) is the only federal agency that devotes 100% of resources to investigating financial crimes. IRS-CI is also the only agency with jurisdiction over federal tax crimes.

“This large-scale criminal enterprise that endangered the safety of children around the world is NO MORE.” /3

🔥QUID PRO QUO🔥

At least 3 officials—Bill Taylor, Fiona Hill, Gordon Sondland—told @HouseDemocrats: a WH visit for #Ukraine’s president was explicitly conditioned on his agreeing to investigations that could help Trump’s re-election.

#Ukrainegate
nbcnews.com/politics/trump…
🚨When Trump sycophant Gordon Sondland was asked point blank, under oath, whether that constituted a "quid pro quo," even he did not dispute it.

👋🏼Hello, @GOP. Got your #QuidProQuo right here!

#Ukrainegate @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @tedlieu
After ~65 hours of testimony — along with public comments from Trump and his cronies — a “portrait is emerging of a #QuidProQuo that evolved over time, with Trump **progressively upping the ante when his demands were not met**.”

What a baby.🙄

🔥BREAKING: Bill Taylor, the senior US diplomat in #Ukraine, gave “damning” testimony before @HouseDemocrats about @realDonaldTrump's quid pro quo when he held up military aid to #Ukraine in exchange for help investigating political rivals.🤬

#Ukrainegate
washingtonpost.com/powerpost/dipl…
@HouseDemocrats @realDonaldTrump Taylor exchanged texts with Gordon Sondland and Kurt Volker in which he called it “crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign” and a “nightmare scenario.”🔥

Taylor wisely left an electronic trail.😎

#Ukrainegate #QuidProQuo #ImpeachTrump
“His (Taylor’s) memory and recollection seem to be a lot better than Ambassador Sondland’s,” said @RepBera.

That’s the difference between telling the WHOLE TRUTH versus trying to taking part in a #coverup.🤬

🚨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.

#Sondland better watch his step.

Hill testified, under oath, that his statements in July 10 meeting were understood to mean pushing Ukraine to investigate Bidens.👇

WaPo reported Sondland plans to say he didn’t realize Biden connection. He may want to revise that before Thurs.
Here’s the WSJ article in @lrozen’s tweet describing Fiona Hill’s testimony (great scoop by @rebeccaballhaus @aviswanatha
@nataliewsj):

And here’s the Post’s story from Saturday describing what Sondland had planned (at least before Hill’s testimony, that is) to tell Congress (scoop by @byaarncdavis and @John_Hudson):

As @RitaKonaev notes, "Mattis had no problem disagreeing w/Obama about transgender people in the military or women in combat but won’t criticize Trump for asking foreign powers for dirt about political opponents.

This isn’t about him being above politics. This is his politics."
Excellent point here, and makes you wonder why Mattis' deference to the commander-in-chief is selectively applied in this manner 🤔
7 freshman House Ds, all with natsec experience: "If true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense ...

We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available, including inherent contempt."

Uncle Jr. Ghouliani is very bad at giving Trump & his cultists ammunition to combat Mueller in the court of public opinion.

Giuliani’s glaring reversals, which only serve to highlight 45’s dishonesty & possible liability

Clapper, McRaven, Brennan, Hayden & other’s are warning us in this dark and dangerous time that we're under threat at *home*.

That's a warning we must heed.

They have dedicated their lives defending our nation against all enemies foriegn & DOMESTIC!
