The Mick Mulvaney interview on Fox is required viewing this morning.

The White House Chief of Staff is trying to say it's not a quid pro quo unless he specifically uses the words quid pro quo
mediaite.com/tv/chris-walla…
Mulvaney then tries to gaslight Fox's Chris Wallace by saying he only claimed two conditions for Ukraine aid. Wallace of course has the tapes

WALLACE: "You say he considers himself to be in the hospitality business... he's the president of the United States!"

Sondland will say:

"Giuliani’s requests were a quid pro quo... Giuliani demanded that Ukraine make a public statement announcing investigations of the 2016 election/DNC server and Burisma. Mr. Giuliani was expressing the desires of the President of the United States."
Sondland: "We did not want to work with Mr. Giuliani... We all understood that if we refused to work with Mr. Giuliani, we would lose an important opportunity to cement relations between the United States and Ukraine. So we followed the President’s orders."
Sondland said his recollection and preparation has been stymied by State Dept refusing to give him phone records, files and emails.

"Should have been made available" to the committee, he said. "In the absence of these materials, my memory has not been perfect."

Lt Col Vindman: "It is improper for the President of the United States to demand a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen and political opponent."
Vindman tells cmte:

"I want to state that the vile character attacks on these distinguished and honorable public servants is reprehensible... we are better than personal attacks."

Prepared statement read:
"callow and cowardly attacks"
Vindman: "Dad, I'm sitting here today, in the US Capitol talking to our elected professionals -- is proof that you made the right decision forty years ago to leave the Soviet Union... Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth."

Mick Mulvaney moves to intervene in the Kupperman case to quash a subpoena issued to him!
The subpoena to Mick Mulvaney issued yesterday.
The motion also has letters from the White House Counsel and DOJ attached. They move pretty quick when it’s the acting chief of staff.

Mulvaney emerges as a key facilitator of the campaign to pressure Ukraine - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
In late May, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney organized a meeting that stripped control of the country’s relationship with Ukraine from those who had the most expertise at the National Security Council and the State Department.
Instead, Mulvaney put an unlikely trio in charge of managing the U.S.-Ukraine account amid worrisome signs of a new priority, congressional officials said Tuesday: pressuring the fledgling government in Kiev to deliver material that would be politically valuable to Trump.

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.

Mick Mulvaney, conservative hero powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/… via @powerlineUS
I think the Post means that Mulvaney is acting aggressively to make sure the administration implements the deregulatory agenda President Trump says he favors.
Thanks to this “Let Trump be Trump” approach, Mulvaney is able to exercise substantial control over domestic policy and to keep it moving in a conservative direction, says the Post.

Trump is already turning on Mick Mulvaney—who hasn’t even started his job as acting White House chief of staff—due to a video uncovered by @thedailybeast in which Mulvaney calls Trump “a terrible human being.” Trump was “furious” about the footage.
#Maddow thebea.st/2Ab2wfP
I forgot to add -->
On a 2015 recording uncovered by @KFILE, Trump's new acting-White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, calls Trump's views on border wall "simplistic" and "absurd and almost childish." Lordy.

Thoughts and prayers, @MickMulvaneyOMB.
