A notable add to the deposition schedule, per an official:

David Hale, under secretary of state for political affairs, is scheduled to appear Weds.

Philip Reeker testified that Hale was the one who axed effort to release a statement backing Yovanovitch.

Investigators have also scheduled a deposition with Rick Perry for Wednesday. Perry blew off a subpoena for documents last month.
NEW: Energy Dept says Perry won’t show.

"The Secretary will not partake in a secret star chamber inquisition where agency counsel is forbidden to be present.”

Everything you need to know about the Cooper/Croft/Anderson depositions — complete with key excerpts and analysis, from @kyledcheney & me politico.com/news/2019/11/1…
@kyledcheney TOPLINE TAKEAWAYS (1/2):

—Ukrainians may have been aware of the hold on aid earlier than previously known

—Volker said a ‘statement’ from the Ukrainians would release the aid

—Budget official told Cooper that Trump was concerned about ‘corruption’

politico.com/news/2019/11/1…
(2/2)

—Senior officials contemplated whether the hold on aid was even legal

—Cooper was asked about the whistleblower, but much of it was redacted

Cooper says OMB official Mike Duffey (who was subpoenaed but refused to testify) said Trump ordered the hold on aid due to his “concerns about corruption.”

But Cooper says a review for corruption concerns had already been completed & it was “unanimous with the exception of” OMB.
.@kyledcheney and I wrote about this mystery last week — and why lawmakers are unlikely to solve it without testimony from key OMB officials, all of whom have refused to appear for depositions.

politico.com/news/2019/11/0…
@kyledcheney This is new >> During an August meeting, Volker mentioned to Cooper “an effort that he was engaged in to see if there was a statement that the government of Ukraine would make” in order to lift the hold on military aid.

JUST IN: The House & Kupperman have filed separate briefs OPPOSING Mulvaney’s motion to join Kupperman’s lawsuit seeking a judge’s ruling on the House’s subpoena.
House lawyers say Mulvaney “likely played a role in the decision to assert absolute immunity as to him—a decision that Mulvaney now asks this Court to address.”

“The Court should reject such gamesmanship and deny Mulvaney’s motion.”
!!! Kupperman’s lawyer Charles Cooper: “In the end, Mulvaney has not even attempted to demonstrate that the President will not fully and adequately defend his interest in having this Court affirm the validity of the President’s own assertion of absolute testimonial immunity.”

Chronological History: The New World Order
by D.L. Cuddy, Ph.D.

In the mainline media, those who adhere to the position that there is some kind of "conspiracy" pushing us towards a world government are virulently ridiculed.
The standard attack maintains that the so-called "New World Order" is the product of turn-of-the-century, right-wing, bigoted, anti-Semitic racists acting in the tradition of the long-debunked Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion,

Ok, time for a run-through of the latest MYE drop from the FBI Vault this past Friday - Part 36 of 36. I know others have already reviewed and put out their thoughts as well, so you may see some overlap. But hopefully something new also comes out of it. vault.fbi.gov/hillary-r.-cli…
I will reference each Serial in the following format: "MYE" - Subfile - Serial# - [1A# (if necessary)]. If you need a quick refresher on how FBI files are organized, here's a recap:
First up, we have MYE-302-39-1A34. So that's the 302 subfile (which is the form on which FBI interviews are later recorded), followed by Serial 39, followed by the attachment for Serial 39 (1A34). It's the notes and accompanying files of the interview of an unknown DoS employee.

The issue isn't what Ambassadors write, it's what they don't write.

(Thread)
In the late 1930s, Robert Vansittart the Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, was looking for a new ambassador to Berlin.
He settled on the idea of Neville Henderson, a man who had done a good job of developing a relationship with the dictator Alexander I of Yugoslavia, before his assassination.

1) “Archived" in the Foggy Bottom Basement, "Never to be Seen Again”
or What Did FBI Director Jim Comey Know, And When Did He Know It?

“I’m confident that this process will prove that I never sent nor received any e-mail that was marked classified.”--Hillary Clinton (03/10/15)
2) Amid all the evidence of crimes Hillary Clinton is alleged to have committed is that of a "quid pro quo" between senior State Department officials and FBI agents during Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State. Pres. Obama himself vigorously denied that any such deal took place.
3) However, the truth can be found by carefully reading the entire 100 pages of FD-302 witness statements included in a Friday afternoon FBI document dumping on 10/14/16, a month before the election, when the Clinton campaign was caricaturizing Donald Trump as a sexual predator.

1. So Bloomberg Voice has a collective editorial condemning Europe's new vehicle for trade with Iran. As a scholar who is writing on these topics (my and @ANewman_forward article coming out in IS soon), my professional opinion is that this is fucking nuts bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
2. The key recommendation - "U.S. officials would be right to insist that the SPV be shut down — if necessary, by threatening sanctions against any person, bank or company associated with its creation." Either they don't know what they're suggesting, or they do, and they're crazy
3. Here's who those sanctions would designate, for starters. ecfr.eu/article/commen… … UK Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Simon McDonald; Miguel Berger, head of economics at the German Foreign Office,
