Dmitry Firtash is an indicted Ukrainian oligarch with alleged mob ties who's been helping push dirt on the Bidens.
Trump just sided with him on Twitter over Bill Taylor, the US's own top diplomat in Ukraine. thedailybeast.com/trump-sides-wi…
Firtash is a familiar face in a new scandal. He was on the edges of the Russia investigation, and looks like a much bigger player in the Ukraine investigation. Read more about where he fits in here: themoscowproject.org/dispatch/dmitr…
Meanwhile, Trump is desperate to discredit Taylor. Why? Because Taylor's testimony laying out the quid pro quo was incredibly damning—and signaled a new phase in the investigation. We broke down his opening statement here: themoscowproject.org/dispatch/trump…

The House has released the transcript of its closed-door deposition with Bill Taylor, who testified in detail about Trump's extortion of Ukraine: docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
The majority has also released key excerpts from Taylor's testimony, including his direct confirmation that Trump's scheme was a quid pro quo. intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
According to Taylor, for a planned June 2019 call between Trump and Zelensky, Sondland made sure "most of the regular interagency participants" weren't included so there wouldn't be anybody taking notes.
That's not something you do for a "perfect call." intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

The House Intelligence Committee has released key excerpts from Gordon Sondland and Kurt Volker's testimony: intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

Sondland (left) confirmed that the president, through Giuliani, was pushing hard for Zelensky to announce investigations into Burisma and the 2016 election—which Volker (right) confirmed were clearly about the Bidens. intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

Meanwhile, Sondland has submitted an "addendum" to his initial testimony, more clearly confirming his role in the extortion scheme after testimony from Bill Taylor and Tim Morrison "refreshed [his] memory." nytimes.com/2019/11/05/us/…

Roger Stone's trial starts today. He's maybe the clearest link between Trump's 2016 campaign and WikiLeaks: He repeatedly said he'd spoken to Julian Assange, and predicted it would be "Podesta's time in the barrel" months before the Podesta emails leaked.
themoscowproject.org/players/rogers…
Stone's indictment suggests that he created a successful backchannel to WikiLeaks: He and Jerome Corsi appear to have successfully coordinated an attack on Hillary Clinton's health based on advance knowledge that WikiLeaks would dump emails on the subject. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/roger…
Not only that, it appears to show that the Trump campaign directed collusion from the highest level: According to the indictment, after WikiLeaks dumped the DNC emails, "a senior Trump campaign official *was directed*" to contact Stone about future dumps. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/the-s…

MAIN THREAD
In 2008, while Manafort was working in Ukraine for Yanukovych, Firtash’s company Group DF agreed to commit $112M to Manafort’s vision for “Bulgari Tower,” a $1.5 billion skyscraper project in midtown Manhattan on the corner of Park Avenue & 56th Street.

rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
🔑The tower deal later collapsed, but not before Firtash wired in a $25M deposit from Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG, an Austrian bank that U.S. officials believed served as a Mogilevich front.

Trump Tower Toronto

💰The Financial Times investigation into Trump Tower Toronto

The Investigation revealed that the venture connects Trump with a “shadowy post-Soviet world where politics and personal enrichment merge.”

Background #Firtash #UkraineGate #RaiffeisenBank
“The tale of the Trump Toronto illuminates what it means for the US to have a president whose business model has long depended on exchanging his family name for money with a murky past, no questions asked.”

amp.ft.com/content/157a64…
“Trump signed up to the Toronto project in 2001, alongside Ritz-Carlton and a little-known developer called Leib Waldman.

The project almost collapsed when Waldman was exposed as a fugitive fraudster & Ritz-Carlton pulled out.”

Firtash was financing Parnas and Fruman's activities.

Parnas paid Trump's free lawyer Giuliani $500K. Ergo, Firtash was financing Giuliani's dirty work for Trump in Ukraine.

Reminds me of another Firtash bagman: Trump's free campaign manager, Manafort.
Firtash was “financing” the activities of Fruman and Parnas, who paid $500,000 to Rudy Giuliani, who was working for Trump for "free."
Giuliani has met with Manafort, whose pro-Putin dirty work in Ukraine was financed by Russia mobster, Firtash, who also financed:
-Kyiv mayor Klitschko's campaign, which Giuliani advised and is now being investigated for
-Parnas and Fruman's activities

‼️Firtash Boeing Titananium

Dmytro Firtash’s is an Ukrainian Oligarch. His wealth stems in large part from the lucrative natural gas trade in Ukraine, whose pipelines have long served as the key conduit for Russian gas supplies heading to Western Europe.

Firtash is also considered an important financier of the Party of Regions political party, and was involved in hiring Manafort, then a U.S. political consultant and lobbyist, in 2005 to help rebuild the party.
rferl.org/a/top-eu-court…
This was after its then-leader, Viktor Yanukovych, was defeated following the 2004 Orange Revolution.
