"I did sort of look at Firtash to see if he had any relevant information” to assist his claims, Giuliani said “As far as I can tell he didn’t. I looked at maybe 20 of these oligarchs”

20 oligarchs? Who else did Giuliani contact to help Trump?
washingtonpost.com/politics/prose…
It is Giuliani, so nothing he says can be trusted. He probably said 20 oligarchs to downplay Firtash. But seems likely more names in this scheme are going to emerge.

In May 2019 Kushner Companies purchased a $1.1 billion portfolio of 6,500 rental apartments in MD & VA - now Kushner Cos plans $1 billion for 3 projects with 3000 units in South Florida - in a market one expert said has an overwhelming supply of apartments
therealdeal.com/miami/2019/10/…
Kushner purchased a site in Wynwood and one in Fort Lauderdale for combined $81 million and may invest $750 million more to develop them. The 3rd site is in Miami’s Edgewater area in an Opportunity Zone and is expected to cost over half a billion dollars
therealdeal.com/miami/2019/10/…
These are the largest deals Kushner Cos has done since it paid a then record $1.8 billion for 666 Fifth Ave in '07 and then sold the ground lease last year to Brookfield Asset Mgmt

It's amazing to see them rebound to do several billion $ deals this year🤔

“After taking on Firtash’s case, Toensing and diGenova secured a rare face-to-face meeting with Attorney General William P. Barr and other Justice Department officials to argue against the charges, three people familiar with the meeting said.”
“Barr declined to intercede, the people said.
A Justice Dept spox said that the case ‘has the support of the department leadership,’ adding: ‘We continue to work closely with the Austrian Ministry of Justice to extradite Mr. Firtash.’
Toensing declined to comment on Barr meeting
In a statement, a spokesman for Toensing & diGenova said that Firtash first met Parnas in June & Firtash has “no business relationship” with either Parnas or Fruman. “No money has been paid to Mr. Parnas by Mr. Firtash beyond his work as a translator for the law firm,” spox said.

#Firtash is a hub in #UkraineGate, w/ lawyers DiGenova & Toensing, Giuliani, Parnas, Fruman a few of the known spokes. As part of his own legal strategy, Firtash took steps to help Trump attack Biden, Mueller & his most prominent critics. time.com/5699201/exclus… #Impeachment
Another GOP blast from the past works for Firtash: Mark Corallo was the guy on Trump's legal team in the Mueller probe who quit after witnessing Trump & Hope Hicks scheming to cover up Don Jr's Trump Tower meeting w/ Russians. Obstruction gave him the willies but not Russian mob?
‼️Parnas & Fruman were flying to Vienna to arrange a @FoxNews interview for Ukraine’s ousted prosecutor Shokin on Hannity, when they were arrested for conspiracy & campaign-finance charges. cnn.com/2019/10/23/pol… #maddow #inners #UkraineGate #ImpeachmentInquiry

🔥Yet another quid pro quo & foreign interference >> #Firtash associates were working to dig up dirt on Biden in an effort to get Rudy #Giuliani’s help in the oligarch’s legal case fighting extradition to US on bribery charges. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… #UkraineGate #Impeachment
Around the time #Firtash hired Joe diGenova & Victoria Toensing—vocal Trump supporters, FoxNews regulars & #Giuliani cohorts—Firtash’s associates began to use his broad network of Ukraine contacts to get damaging information on Biden. #UkraineGate #ImpeachmentInquiry
If Firtash’s legal maneuvering—hiring pro-Trump FoxNews lawyers & working with Giuliani’s guys to help Trump—actually gets him off federal racketeering charges, we’ll know criminal mobsters really do own our Justice Dept. Barr’s stain on DOJ may be even greater than Trump’s on WH

#Giuliani's 20 years ties with Russian and Ukrainian organized crime, top officials and secret services (all three are a conglomerate in Putin's mafia state). It didn't start now. See more in this thread. #impeachment #TrumpImpeachment #UkraineScandal

A recent opinion published in Nature Reviews Neurology includes a "CTE" timeline which is sort of "truthy". So I'd like to offer a bit of historical comment on it: /thread
Let's start with the 1954 "first neuropathological description." This is undoubtedly a reference to Brandenburg and Hallervorden's 1954 classic paper. In it, the authors have no problem indicting repeated blows to the head as a cause. But is it the first?
Well that is tricky. Because of course Harrison Martland in 1928 did not note the tangle pathology associated with CTE. He did, however, do "neuropathology" when he classically described "Punch Drunk". Here's a picture included in his paper.
