The wild thing about Giuliani and Trumpers pushing this story is that Rudy last year got $100,000 or more from Louis Freeh to write a letter to Romania's president that promoted the interests of Freeh's client, Gabriel Popoviciu. That's the guy Hunter Biden worked for.
"Giuliani, who has been the loudest critic of Hunter Biden’s work in the Ukraine, was working on the same side as the younger Biden in Romania."
Giuliani, Trump's lawyer, is certainly more involved with corrupt people in Romania than Joe Biden is. Joe's the one running for president. So the subject of Romania is arguably worse for Trump than for Biden.

Lev Parnas, a Florida resident who Giuliani claims he represented while seeking dirt in Biden and other information in Ukraine, says in a text message that he has hired John Dowd as his attorney.
Dowd of course is a former lawyer for President Trump.
Trump's former lawyer, who still talks regularly with Trump, was retained by two (maybe former) clients of Trump's current lawyer. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…

Last year, Ukrainian lawmakers admitted that Poroshenko's government halted cooperation with Mueller regarding Manafort/corruption because they didn't want to upset Trump while they were buying US anti-tank missiles. This seems strangely forgotten. nytimes.com/2018/05/02/wor…
Maybe this story got overlooked because some of the same conduct was cited in a much more sensation BBC story that they ended up retracting. But the stopped-cooperating-with-Mueller-to-please-Trump-while-buying-arms piece was not disputed. theguardian.com/media/2019/mar….
Gotta wonder if there was a deal, implicit or real re Manafort/Manafort that set the stage for the possible quid pro quo Trump and Rudy dangled regarding the Bidens.

Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos are scheduled to speak at conference organized by a QAnon supporter, and which features on its website an American flag with a big Q on it. motherjones.com/?p=773938
After months of egging on right wing sorta conspiracy theories of the "#Spygate" variety, and some apparent wink at crazier QAnon types, Flynn and Papadopoulos are going fuller Q now, for $.
Not the most convincing denial.

‼️Rudy Giuliani’s Year of Living Dangerously

Giuliani is busy effecting the Trump Adm’s shadow anti EU, anti NATO foreign policy, which ...

Wait for it...

Aligns with the Kremlin’s interests.
2018: Giuliani appeared in the former Soviet republic of Armenia, which has close trade ties with Russia. He was invited by Ara Abramyan, an Armenian businessman who lives in Russia.
propublica.org/article/trump-…
🔑Abramyan once helped reconstruct the Kremlin and also received a medal for “merit to the fatherland” from President Vladimir Putin of Russia.

🔑On a local TV news show, Abramyan implied that he expected Giuliani to carry a message for him to Trump.

💜 msbeatrice 💜 SLOW DURING BTS HIATUS
@msbeatrice_81
Last thoughts:

If the current trend continues & no K-group manages to match the growth pattern of BTS very soon, there is a type of person you do not want to be.

You do not want to be an "expert" who publicly dismissed BTS's uniqueness & championed K-p0p as The Next Big Thing.+
The annoyance we are seeing from certain parties regarding the success of BTS vs other K-artists has much less to do with BTS than you might think, and more to do with frustration at being proved wrong.

They bet on the wrong horses, and I think they know it.+
The irony, of course, is that for the past 2+ years we have been attempting to tell everyone who would listen that this would be the result in the end. But no one cared to pay attention to us because we are ARMY and therefore dismissed as "biased observers".+

Story of Chinese diplomat threatening a Russian journalist is not about emerging hierarchy or rifts in Sino-Russian ties, but about clumsiness of much-hyped China's official PR machine. It's also shows how much Chinese diplomats are driven by politics at home, not diplomacy 1/
2/ What happened? Russian Nezavisimaya Gazeta (Independent Newspaper, NG) has published an editorial claiming that the press-secretary of Chinese embassy to Moscow Gou Younghai 苟永海 has harassed NG journalist and threatened to deny her entry to China. ng.ru/world/2019-03-…
3/ It has some juicy quotes of messages by Gou Younghai (I don't know English well enough to imitate his broken Russian). "I seriously tell you to remove this article from website of your paper, otherwise you will be blacklisted and will never be able to enter China"

Last week, nearly 100 Mexicans died in an explosion from a punctured pipeline. The incident revealed the full extent of a crisis that has long gone ignored — that fuel theft is now out of control. buzzfeednews.com/article/karlaz…
For some time now, members of local cartels and gangs have targeted Mexico’s vast network of pipelines — last year, they made more than 12,000 illegal taps, siphoning around 56,000 barrels of fuel a day.
The death toll from last week’s explosion is unprecedented. But the government had long turned a blind eye as gangs stole gasoline, and money poured into their coffers.

Rudy Giuliani wrote a letter to Romania’s President advocating AGAINST the country’s anti-corruption institutions. And he failed to note he was acting as a foreign agent on behalf of the thoroughly corrupt Social Democratic leader Liviu Dragnea. <THREAD> politico.eu/article/rudy-g…
Liviu Dargnea was indicted for corruption and his desparate attempts to cling to power brought tens of thousands of Romanians into the streets. His nemesis was the independent Anti-Corruption Prosecutor, whom Giuliani criticized on Dragnea’s behalf. <2> occrp.org/en/27-ccwatch/…
Guess who else cozied up to Dragnea? Eliot Broidy, the former RNC finance chair who’s accused of seeking money for access to the Trump administration. Broidy reportedly got Dragnea access to Trump in return for help with business interests in Romania. <3> amp.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
