.@politico confirming my reporting from last month, citing Kent's transcript:

"Laura Cooper raised concerns that if the hold stretched past Aug. 6, they might be unable to provide all of the funds to Ukraine before a Sept. 30 fiscal year deadline wiped it out."

Important from Yovanovitch's lawyer on the State Dept's failure to produce legal guidance for his client:

"Ambassador Yovanovitch has been subpoenaed to testify, and as we read the law, she is obliged to be here and testify, and she will...
"...We have repeatedly asked the State Dept's office of the legal advisor to provide us with a written statement that we could read on their behalf so that their concerns regarding what they term, 'executive branch confidentiality interests,' could be heard by this committee...
... We have asked them to specify in writing particular topics with respect to which they wish us to point out their interests. And although we were told we would receive such a statement, we have not."

It's astonishing when you look at how many people have stepped forward -- defying the White House & complying w/ congressional subpoenas -- to tell what they know about Trump, Ukraine & a quid pro quo (weapons to fight Russia for an investigation into Biden).

A running list:
Marie Yovanovitch,the US ambassador to Ukraine who was prematurely forced out because Trump & Giuliani thought she stood in the way of their agenda:
vox.com/policy-and-pol…
The former US special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker, who had to resign amidst the scandal:

Impeachment Inquiry Is Legal, Judge Rules, Giving DEMs a Victory

Judge orders the DOJ to hand over secret GJ evidence from the Mueller inv’n to the HJC by 10/30.

The committee's need for disclosure of the materials "is greater than the need for continued secrecy.”
🌳Victory2🌳

THE GOP IS GETTING DESPERATE . . .

The silence is stunning.

No senator is saying:

📌Openly that Trump’s conduct is not impeachable.

📌The witnesses lack credibility.

📌It is perfectly appropriate for the president to use his powers to aid his campaign effort
🌳Victory3🌳

Cummings remembered as 'fierce champion' & as a “fierce champion of truth, justice & kindness”

“Like the prophet, our Elijah could call down fire from heaven.

But he also prayed & worked for healing.

He weathered storms & earthquakes but never lost his faith.”

Seuls 3 élus républicains ont condamné à cette heure comme racistes les tweets de #Trump sur les 4 élues progressistes démocrates.
Parmi eux:
le seul représentant républicain afro-américain de la Chambre, Will Hurd.
Le seul sénateur républicain afro-américain Tim Scott.
2) Faits, sur ce qu'est le parti républicain en 2019, #Trump ou pas:
. 4 représentants républicains afro-américains élus à la Chambre depuis le début du XXIe siècle (435 représentants élus tous les 2 ans)
. 2 sénateurs républicains afro-américains élus au Sénat (1881-2019)
3) Les républicains ne réagiront pas en majorité aux tweets racistes sans aucune ambiguïté possible de #Trump d'abord car sa ligne nativiste et identitaire blanche a gagné dans le parti, achevant la mue d'1 parti intégrant avec Nixon puis Reagan l'héritage ségrégationniste du Sud

L'info de la nuit US: et le @washingtonpost et le @nytimes rapportent que #Trump fut déjà prévenu des pertes AVANT de donner son feu vert initial à des frappes en #Iran et que l'opération était bien en cours avant son revirement.
washingtonpost.com/politics/i-sto…
nytimes.com/2019/06/21/us/…
2) Cette information n'est pas anecdotique: l'#Iran sait désormais que #Trump hésitera toujours à frapper et qu'il y a incontestablement des fractures à l'intérieur de l'administration US autour du président pour savoir comment réagir face aux Iraniens. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
3) Et ce dévoilement d'1 #Trump hésitant, confus construit 1 image de faiblesse face à l'#Iran et d'autres. Selon le quotidien US le plus lu @USATODAY Th. Roosevelt disait: "Parlez doucement et portez 1 gros bâton, vous irez loin". #Trump fait l'inverse. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

Lisez et relisez cette phrase (et le passage souligné en rouge) sur la campagne #Trump et la #Russie du rapport #Mueller, elle revient 2 fois dans les 15 premières pages. De la notion de "collusion" qui est d'ailleurs aussi beaucoup discutée dans les 1ères pages. #teasing
2) Après le résumé du volume 1 sur 7 pages, dont le texte précédent page 5 est extrait, le rapport #Muller narre d'abord ses découvertes sur l'opération de déstabilisation de l'élection US 2016 par l'IRA de Prigozhin, proche de #Poutine, sur les réseaux sociaux.
3) Cette partie très caviardée sur l'ingérence de l'IRA russe sur les réseaux sociaux conclut clairement: l'IRA de Prigozhin viola les lois US contre l'influence étrangère des campagnes mais les campagnes locales de #Trump contactées par l'IRA ignoraient l'origine russe (page 35)

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"
