‘It’s like nothing we have come across before’: UK intel officials shaken by Trump adm’s requests for help w/ counter-impeachment inquiry

Barr is leading tinfoil hat conspiracy theory aimed at discrediting Mueller’s findings that Russia interfered in 2016 election
🎩TinFoil2🎩

The real culprit, they allege, was Crowdstrike🙄

🔑Crowdstrike was hired to investigate the data breach DNC hack & was the first of MANY, including western intelligence agencies, to conclude that Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, had carried it out.
🎩TinFoil2🎩

TeamTrump believes Crowdstrike is based in UKR & its founder Dmitri Alperovitch is a Ukrainian who set up Putin in revenge for invading his homeland.🙄

But Alperovitch, in real life, is of RU extraction & is a US citizen whose family came to US in the Soviet era.
🎩TinFoil3🎩

Crowdstrike is based not in Kiev, but CA.

Every aspect of the Crowdstrike conspiracy tale has been disproved. But this has not stopped Trump from demanding that Zelensky looks into it, albeit in a somewhat incoherent manner, in the now infamous 25 July call to him.
🎩TinFoil4🎩

There is no evidence that Murllerl’s inquiry started w/ UKR.

And we are yet to see where the Barr’s one will end.

But the global reach the AG has given the Trump counteroffensive ensures the repercussions, the accusations & recriminations will be far and wide.
🎩TinFoil5🎩

Trump said he is keeping US forces in Syria to “secure” its oil fields.

“We may have to fight for the oil. It’s O.K.,” he said.

“Maybe somebody else wants the oil, in which case they have a hell of a fight.

But there’s massive amounts of oil.”
🎩TinFoil6🎩

Eisenberg noted Vindman’s complaints, then conferred with his deputy Michael Ellis about how to handle the conversation because it was clearly “sensitive,”

Eisenberg & Ellis then decided to move the record of the call into the NSC’s top-secret codeword system
🎩TinFoil7🎩

🔑Eisenberg told Vindman not to discuss Ukraine call

🔑yMorrison was worried the July 25 call, which he listened in on along with Vindman, would leak.

🔑Morrison “was involved with discussions after the call about how to handle the transcript.”
🎩TinFoil8🎩

The decision to keep the call a secret raises questions about whether the lawyers’ intent was to bury the conversation altogether.

It also undermines Trump’s insistence that the call was “perfect."
🎩TinFoil9🎩

Anderson: “While my colleagues at the State Department quickly prepared a statement condemning Russia for its escalation, senior officials in the White House blocked it from being issued.”

Giuliani Had a Secret Meeting With Zelensky’s Rival Yulia Tymoshenko, Too
🎩TinFoil10🎩

The Tymoshenko meeting was brief, came at Giuliani’s request, that he was “trolling for business,” & that Tymoshenko wanted to share “her substantive vision of UKR.”
