Among his changing explanations for ending Sahar N’s detail to policy planning early, Brian Hook told OIG he’d wanted to hire McInnis.1/
But McInnis told OIG he did not yet know Hook on April 7 2017, when Nowrouzzadeh’s detail was terminated. stateoig.gov/system/files/e…
“OIG concludes that Mr. Hook would not have ended the detail early without being prompted by others who..appear to have been motivated..” 3/

Erdogan: we don’t have problem with the Kurds. have problem w the terrorists.

Jordan: aid delayed 55 days.
you met with zelensky 3 times between july 18 and sept. 11.
no linkage btw security assistance and investigations of Burisma/Bidens.
Taylor: true of first two. third meeting there was discussion of security assistance.
Jordan says Taylor’s understandimg of linkage was wrong.
Taylor: as i testified, this came from Amb. Sondland.
amb. sondland said talked to zelensky and yermak, if z did not clear this up, we would be at a stalemate.
Jordan relying on Sondland amendment does not seem like it will turn out well

#Vietnam a lonely island of resistance to #China - Hanoi has deftly deployed a three-pronged strategy to counter and deter Beijing’s drive to control the #SouthChinaSea 👍A very good read👍 asiatimes.com/2019/10/articl…
Vietnam needs to change its foreign policy, including coming up with a proposal for further developing relations with US to rid itself of Chinese influence,” said maritime expert Hoang Viet referring to the discussions at the October 5 forum, according to a Radio Free Asia report
But China is clearly playing a long game of encircling and squeezing Vietnam’s claims in the sea, replete with tactical retreats and naval misdirection tactics, likely employed to gauge how the US and other regional powers may react to the provocations.

Trump told Lavrov & Kislyak in the infamous May 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the U.S. election because the United States did the same in other countries, an assertion that prompted alarmed White House officials.
💣CoverUp2💣

The same meeting in which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

He also said during the meeting that firing FBI Director James B. Comey the day before had relieved “great pressure” on him.
💣CoverUp3💣

A memorandum summarizing the meeting was limited to all but a few officials with the highest security clearances in an attempt to keep the president’s comments from being disclosed publicly.

It is not clear if the memo was placed into the secret system.

#Ukrainian parliament has amended Constitution by including EU and NATO memberships as #Ukraine goals. This is another election ploy by Poroshenko, since my research shows that Ukraine has no prospects of EU and NATO memberships in the foreseeable future. pravda.com.ua/news/2019/02/7…
My research shows that Ukraine has no prospects of EU and NATO memberships in the foreseeable future because the Western countries would not accept Ukraine into these organizations. "Euromaidan" did not change this in spite of predictions to the contrary. researchgate.net/publication/25…
Opposition to NATO membership of #Ukraine by such NATO members as Germany, Crimea & Donbas conflicts, Russian military interventions there & possibility of escalation of regional conflicts & new military intervention by #Russia in case of movement towards NATO suggest 0 prospect

Ok, let’s talk about this whole Brett Kavanaugh thing, shall we? #Kavanaugh
For the most part, I stay away from making sweeping generalizations about nominees for courts. I’m biased. While I oppose them regularly, I don’t think most Conservative judges are bad people. It’s ideological differences.
For instance- I don’t agree with John Roberts on Citizens United, guns, executive power, abortion, etc. I think he’s not some evil, lying POS. #Kavanaugh
