‼️WHITE HOUSE ADMITS TO QUID PRO QUO WITH UKRAINE

Mulvaney: Ukraine aid was tied to Trump’s desire to investigate DNC server & Biden corruption (both baseless propaganda pushed by Russia btw)

Trump’s crimes are so clear, there’s no defense. Just gaslighting, smears, deflection.
ICYMI😅Mulvaney’s bad gaslighting Trump’s abuse of power just admitted the quid pro quo—Ukraine military aid for investigations. 🧐It’s so normal, “We do it all the time.” Watch the bad propagandist confuse US policy objectives w/ personal political gain.
Don't forget how insanely pro-Putin Mulvaney's admitted quid pro quo is: Trump tied military aid for Ukraine's defense against Russian occupiers to investigating a debunked conspiracy theory that a DNC server in Ukraine exonerates Russia in election interference. #Inners #Maddow

💥Top Diplomat in Ukraine Testifies to Direct Link Between Military Aid & Investigations. Amb Taylor described the quid pro quo “in excruciating detail”—Trump held aid & refused WH meeting til Zelensky opened investigations into Dem rivals. #Impeachment nytimes.com/2019/10/22/us/…
🔥Read Amb Taylor's opening statement. It's both gripping & heartening to see a State Dept professional lay out #Ukraine's strategic importance for the US & the world. Makes Trump exploiting U's vulnerability to #Russia particularly egregious. washingtonpost.com/context/openin… #Impeachment
Taylor set the stage for his damning testimony by explaining Ukraine's strategic importance, in 3 main points.

1. Ukraine is a strategic partner of the US, important for our national security & Europe's.
2. Ukraine is and has been under armed attack from Russia for 5 years.

#Russia is about to carve up #Syria. Watch an almost giddy #Putin welcome #Erdogan to Moscow today. He does that hand hug thing, putting his other hand on their very warm handshake, and says what I think is “you bring good weather.” They chuckle.
What a difference a few days make when America is compromised by a corrupt & incompetent dictator wannabe POTUS. Compare Putin-Erdogan handshake in Russia to Pence-Erdogan handshake in Turkey. It's hard to even grasp what hell Trump has unleashed on the Kurds, Syria, & the world.
😨“Operation Peace Spring”—How perfectly Orwellian🙃propaganda-speak. That’s what #Erdogan has codenamed #Turkey’s offensive in #Syria, which has slaughtered and displaced the Kurds & democratic SDF forces, with clear echoes of ethnic cleansing and war crimes. #Russia #Putin

😤This pumped me up with hope today: Republicans are exhausted having to defend Trump’s indefensible bullshit day in & day out. (@mattklewis on @ReliableSources)

Trump counts on exhausting democracy’s defenders. (Lord knows he has!) But the exhaustion goes the other way too.
@mattklewis @ReliableSources 💯The Bullshit You Have to Believe to Be a Republican in 2019: It requires gaslighting yourself. Just like Soviets, adhering to Trumpian dogma requires Jedi mind tricks to match what you’ve always believed to the latest propaganda, 🔥from @mattklewis thedailybeast.com/the-bullshit-y…
@mattklewis @ReliableSources It's good to see people after, what, like 4 years now?, FINALLY use appropriate language for this Orwellian nightmare Trump, Republicans & Putin have mired America in. I've been squawking like a chicken w/o a head about the Soviet Republicans forever. Hopefully it's not too late.

PLEASE READ: every word of the opening statement to Congress from Ambassador Bill Taylor, who graduated West Point and served our country for 50 years.

This man is a courageous patriot.🇺🇸

#Ukrainegate
games-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/def…
Back in May, Taylor expressed concerns about @RudyGiuliani’s shadow #Ukrainegate “diplomacy,” which Taylor clearly recognized as what is was: #corruption.
🔥Taylor confirmed @MickMulvaneyOMB’s role in the #Ukrainegate plot, and also corroborated reporting that John Bolton told @StateDept staff to “brief the lawyers.”

1/ I just watched the *amazing* Mulvaney press conference. It was an extraordinarily weak and damning performance. I think he set out to deny a quid pro quo w Ukraine but he tied himself in knots and strongly suggested there was one. But that was not the only problem.
2/ I was watching try to figure out how what he said about the reasons for delay in releasing the Ukraine funds, to see whether the reasons were consistent with OMB’s legal obligations, as outlined in this post yesterday. lawfareblog.com/role-omb-withh…
3/ At first glance it does not appear that the reasons he gave for the delay are consistent with OMB’s obligations to release money under the relevant statutes discussed in yesterday’s post. More on that when I figure it out.

OK, so this whole Mulvaney assertion doesn't make any sense. wapo.st/2MpxQ0J
It doesn't make any sense because the White House denied the quid pro quo.

It doesn't make any sense because Trump's request about the server didn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense to claim they targeted corruption but not Biden.
It doesn't make sense because the alleged corruption involving the server is both ridiculous and has been debunked.

It doesn't make sense because the Justice Department says it didn't know about the deal in the first place.

🚨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.🧐
