Records show March calls took place between Pompeo and Giuliani re Yovanovitch.

Docs show that at least one of the calls was set up by Madeleine Westerhout, who at the time was WH director of OO ops, suggesting the connection was facilitated by Trump. mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
There is a private April letter to Pompeo from senior House DEMs, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer & House Foreign Affairs committee chairman Eliot Engel, expressing displeasure with Yovanovitch’s treatment in Kiev.

🔑The records also show memos from Giuliani addressed to Pompeo detailing his discussions with Ukrainian prosecutors regarding Yovanovitch, former VP Biden and his family, and claims of Ukrainian involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
They note as well as a phone call between Pompeo & Rep. Devin Nunes — Republican ranking member of the HIC who himself has been charged with conducting opposition research on Democrats overseas — mere days after speaking with Giuliani

mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
“We can see why Mike Pompeo has refused to release this information to Congress,”

“It reveals a clear paper trail from Rudy Giuliani to the Oval Office to Secretary Pompeo to facilitate Giuliani’s smear campaign against a U.S. ambassador.”

mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
Now, Pompeo might face new political headwinds in light of the records release, and after witness testimony this week that directly implicated him in Trump’s effort to trade official acts for political investigations with the government in Ukraine.

mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
Speaking before the House Intelligence Committee, Gordon Sondland, Trump’s ambassador to the European Union, told lawmakers that he worked at the “express direction” of Trump to facilitate a quid pro quo with Ukraine with Pompeo’s knowledge.

mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
The ambassador shared texts and emails with the committee that showed direct communication with Pompeo & his top aides approving of the exchange and encouraging him to work with Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney not employed by the U.S. gov’t.

Despite Probe of ‘Low-Level’ Ex-FBI Lawyer, Carter Page Surveillance Had ‘Proper Legal & Factual Basis’

Judging by gianormius disinfo campaign waged by RW/TeamTrump in an attempt to decredit the FISA, this passage is what TeamTrump fears most about the Dossier.
⏰TicTok2⏰

Where did Trump get the info he hoped to discredit the Bidens, & the Mueller's inv’n?

That ‘info’ came from a fmr disgraced UKR PG (Shokin).

Firtash (RUmobliarch) wanted by the U.S. gov’t on corruption charges gave close allies of Trump the ginned up docs & info
⏰TicTok3⏰

Provided by Shokin in an attempt to discredit the Bidens.

Dmitry Firtash’s legal team Toensing & diGenova supplied the info to TeamTrump

💣Aiding&Abetting💣:

The years long narrative ‘Ukraine rather than RU meddled in the 2016 elex’ is a RU Intel Op, US Intel says.

US Intel officials informed senators and their aides of the origin of this narrative & how it serves RU

Yet GOP continue to amplify the falsehoods
💣Aiding&Abetting💣

RU had engaged in a yearslong campaign to essentially frame Ukraine as responsible for Moscow’s own hacking of the 2016 election.

The briefing came as Republicans stepped up their defenses of Mr. Trump in the Ukraine affair.
💣Aiding&Abetting3💣

The revelations demonstrate Russia’s persistence in trying to sow discord among its adversaries — and show that the Kremlin apparently succeeded, as unfounded claims about Ukrainian interference seeped into Republican talking points

💣It’sGoTime💣

8/2/19 Parnas attended the Giuliani/Yermak (Zelensky aide) Madrid meet & witnessed Rudy pressuring Yermak on behalf of Trump to compel Zelensky to announce that his adm was launching a corruption inv’n into the Bidens & alleged UKR meddling in the 2016 election.”
💣It’sGoTime2💣

The Madrid meeting was a “`direct followup'” to the July 25 Trump-Zelenskyy phone call and specifically to their discussion of the cases the U.S. president raised in that conversation, according to the whistleblower’s complaint.
💣It’sGoTime3💣

From Madrid, Giuliani tweets his allegations against the Bidens on Aug. 3.

Holmes: Giuliani’s political agenda overshadowed UKR priorities
And that Ambassador Sondland stated, “Dammit Rudy. Every time Rudy gets involved he goes and f---s everything up.”

(Thread) New State Dept. Docs

I'll analyze the new info in parts—because there is so much.

As I read and analyze, I am updating my timeline with the new information. New stuff is in gold.

impeachment-trump.com
(I have no proofreader, and I do have keyboard gremlins)
1/ The new docs are here: americanoversight.org/state-departme…

For now I’ll focus on the State Dept and leave Nunes for later.

We already know that in late 2018 / early 2019, Giuliani was talking to disgruntled former Ukrainian prosecutors willing to push false stories .
2/ . . . in order to ingratiate themselves with Trump.

We learn from the new docs that Giuliani sent memos to Pompeo and Devin Nunes detailing his discussions with Ukrainian prosecutors regarding Yovanovitch, the Bidens, and claims that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election.

Architecture is not just about buildings, it’s about society, culture, psychology, politics, landscape, the environment, economics, engineering, mathematics, art, craft, materiality, technology, impact, and projecting the future. It’s about people, place and time.
#Architecture tells a story:of #people who inhabit it,of its #place in context,of #times it's seen.This house is symbolic of use,history,culture,style.Was it always this color?Was it built at once or incrementally?Is it unified or divided inside?So much to peel, layer by layer...
#Vernacular architecture is the architecture born of a place, deeply rooted to the context, created using local materials and age-old technology passed down through generations. The courtyard houses of India are a vernacular archetype for residential architecture...

I read the deposition of M. #Yovanovitch. There are deliberate material omissions (perjury). I can write it up, if there is interest.

The people questioning her are not informed enough to catch it. A 2-headed-debacle: Very sloppy.
@Jim_Jordan @realDonaldTrump @RudyGiuliani
@Jim_Jordan @realDonaldTrump @RudyGiuliani 1/ Here #Yovanovitch is truthful:

She says prosecutions in #Ukraine are used to extort money & Ukraine is "not a rule of law country." (That's polite-speak for 'Ukraine is a corrupt mafia crap pile.') 30 years we've been pouring money into Ukraine. THAT is a reason to cut aid.
@Jim_Jordan @realDonaldTrump @RudyGiuliani 2/ Here #Yovanovitch admits she intervened to protect the head of Ukraine's so-called National Anti Corruption Bureau (NABU) from prosecution.

One problem, is the NABU chief can be heard on tape admitting to trying to help @HillaryClinton win the 2016 election.

ONE LOCKED DOOR. This week was a trifecta of domestic terrorism, but the media isn't saying so because of a locked door. On Wednesday Gregory Bush (L) tried unsuccessfully to get into a predominantly black Baptist church. So he went instead to the Kroger supermarket down the- 1/X
street. He walked into the store, passed white employees at the registers and at least 3 white customers (Drew Butler, Eric Deacon & Kathy Mayhall) before coming up behind the 1st black person he saw, Maurice Stallard, who was there with his 12-year-old grandson to get some- 2/5
poster board for a school project. Bush pulled a handgun & shot Stallard point-blank in the back of the head. The grandson ran as Bush fired into Stallard's body on the floor. Bush calmly walked out of the store, where he killed Vickie Lee Jones as she was walking toward the- 3/5

Here we have the beginning of the #show!
Kinda hot, but the first cloud loomed (pretty!)
We set up behind the #drums in the back 😊

For those who've never been to #DenverBotanicalGardens , imagine the #stage at the center bottom of an inverse pyramid.
Melissa Etheridge coming down the side ramp toward the stage!

This photo is bleached out cuz of the intense sun beating down on us (before the rest of the clouds would sweep across the sky)
Unsure which songs these are from.
The #lineup #featured #songs from #YourLittleSecret and back.
A fun #memory lane trip for my veteran show going friends, and a good #show for my newbie friends to walk into 😊

Well done to @jerryhayes1 for making disclosure problems in criminal proceedings front page news. The issue is longstanding & pervasive. It is not limited to sex cases or crown court matters. Its effect is corrosive on the justice system. An example from the magistrates court:
The defendant was charged with battery. Allegation was: he went to a place of business & punched someone. He was then pushed out of the door by employees of the business. Once outside, he punched the complainant again and an altercation took place between him and the employees.
He called the police and alleged he'd been assaulted. He ended up being interviewed as a suspect, and maintained his account that he was the victim. He was charged and bailed to court, where he pleaded Not Guilty and a trial date was set.
