Schiff staffer goes to Ukraine late August to meet with acting US ambassador

Staffer already knows about “whistleblower”

Sept 9—Bill Taylor, acting ambassador, texts his EU counterpart that it’s “crazy” to tie US aid to help with a “political campaign.” amgreatness.com/2019/10/18/ada…
Problem is that none of the info about the “whistleblower” was yet in the public domain at that time. His counterpart expresses surprise at the claim, tells Taylor he misunderstood and there’s “no quid pro quo.”

That same day, Sept 9, IC IG notifies House Intel about dispute...
with acting ODNI about the “urgent concern” complaint.

Again, nothing yet confirmed in media about “whistleblower.” So why did Taylor make that accusation via text?

Pure coincidence, I’m sure!

Taylor is scheduled to testify at Schiff’s impeachment tribunal next week. Should be interesting to see if House Republicans can get details about the late August meeting btw Taylor and Schiff staffer.

Yep they’re nervous. ”Brennan allies...note that the CIA played no role in the probe involving Americans, and was narrowly focused on determining Putin’s motivations and how the Kremlin was carrying out its election attack in 2016.” politico.com/news/2019/10/2…
That, by Fusion Natasha, is 100% contradicted by Brennan’s own Congressional testimony. Brennan admitted that he was concerned about “certain US persons” on the Trump campaign and their alleged ties to Russia.

We all know a Mitt Romney. You know, a poser. The guy who everyone wonders, “how the hell did THAT guy get this far?” He acts like a tough guy but cowers begins others—such as a Twitter pseudonym called Pierre Delecto: amgreatness.com/2019/10/21/eve…
“One can almost imagine him lying in bed wearing his monogrammed robe, scratching the back of his slumbering wife with one hand while quietly typing “romney’ in Twitter’s search box with the other.” amgreatness.com/2019/10/21/eve…
“Thinking it would make him look super edgy to all the Cool Kids, Mitt/Pierre bragged to Coppin about his social media alter ego—but the wily guy who saved the Olympics managed to give away just enough detail that a reporter discovered the troll account in about 12 seconds.”

🔥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.🤬

🚨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.🧐

August 12th’ish - the whistleblower contacts Adam Schiff’s office.

August 24-31st - Adam Schiff’s staffer Thomas Eager travelled to Ukraine funded by the Atlantic Council

The Atlantic Council is in a partnership with Burisma the company that employed Hunter Biden. /1
It is also funded by a George Soros foundation.

One of the senior fellows of the Council is CrowdStrike founder Dmitri Alperovitch.

On August 28th Adam Schiff tweeted the basic allegations of the whistleblower complaint.

Bill Taylor is in Ukraine. /2
On September 9th Bill Taylor texts Sondland dithering about an implied “quid pro quo”

I have questions. I have said since the texts came out that Taylor’s text sounded like a bad attempt at entrapment.

If it caught Sondland off guard, it was likely with good reason. /3

THREAD

Today, the Ohio Democratic Party released an updated timeline of @senrobportman 's intense involvement in the Ukraine crisis that is now the center of the impeachment inquiry.
@senrobportman 2/30

The bottom line is that as chair of the Ukraine Caucus, Portman didn’t only have a front row seat to the entire ordeal — it appears that he was directly engaged with all sides of what was a deeply problematic conversation as that conversation occurred.
@senrobportman 3/30

Portman owes Ohioans and all Americans a full and transparent account of what he knew, when he knew it and what steps he took once it became clear what Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani were up to.

DEVELOPING @OANN:

1. "#Whistleblower Form": "MUST HAVE FIRST HAND INFO" clause -- mysteriously removed in August.

2. Reports #AdamSchiff traveled to #Ukraine from Aug.24-29 with the allegedly #Burisma funded Atlantic Council.

3. #GinaHaspel's MENTOR was #JohnBrennan.
@OANN NOTE: Haspel as director of #CIA -- counts Brennan, a literal communist during the Cold War, a reported muslim who converted to Islam as CIA Director under Obama, as her MENTOR.

Keep these points in mind as #ImpeachTrump drags on.
Do your homework - you be the judge.
@OANN UPDATE: REPORTS SCHIFF TRAVELED TO UKRAINE LATE AUG -- appears trip was planned. Still verifying.

Opens another can of worms: Schiff's close ties to Atlantic Council is VERY noteworthy. Atlantic Council is... surprise, funded in part by Burisma Oil. AKA Hunter Biden's Cash Cow.
