HIC in possession of video, audio recordings from Lev Parnas‼️

WH review turns up emails showing extensive effort to justify Trump’s decision to block UKR military aid

Trump made the decision to w/hold aid the w/o discussion re reasoning or legal justification
🎥LordyLordy🎥

Mulvaney asked acting OMB director Vought for an update on the legal rationale for w/holding the aid & how much longer it could be delayed.

Mulvaney said he asked OMB Dir to block the release of aid to UKR — at the Trump’s request — in early to mid-July of 2019.
🎥LordyLordy3🎥

In December 2018, months before the Ukraine issue surfaced as a top priority for Trump, the GAO had warned OMB (Mulvaney) it was not following the law in how it chose to disburse and withhold congressionally-approved funds.

Spencer the shitbag sends @Potus a letter acknowledging his termination. Who the phuck does he think he is? Saying that he couldnt violate his oath by obeying his commander in chiefs direct order. As well as saying his vision doesnt align with our POTUS. #DraintheSwamp #MAGA
Now the statement this evening from> United States Navy SEAL Special Warfare Operator Chief Petty Officer Gallagher #MAGA #NavySEAL ⚓️⚓️🐐🇺🇸🇺🇸
I believe that Schifty Schiff and the #DEMS tried to setup @POTUS by using Spencer and the #gallagher for the #impeachment hearings. So how would Spencer know that the Trident review board would allow Gallagher to keep his Rank and Trident pin? #MAGA

#Breaking du @financialtimes:1 nouvelle fois, en novembre 2018 au #G20, #Trump, qui avait annulé leur entrevue officielle, s'est entretenu officieusement avec #Poutine pendant 15 minutes au moins. Sans traducteur US ni staff. La diplomatie de #Trump est-elle bien celle des USA?👇
2) Le président US #Trump annule l'entrevue avec #Poutine au #G20 à cause de l'attaque de la #Russie sur des navires ukrainiens de la mer Noire. Belle sanction. Mais aussitôt annulée par cette entrevue officieuse. Où est la logique? Où est l'affirmation de puissance US?
3) Ce soir, la question d'1 président US #Trump, dont les intérêts (politiques? financiers? Autres?) divergent de ceux stratégiques de la nation, est clairement posée. Par ce nouvel épisode #Poutine d'autant plus saugrenu qu'il est sous enquête fédérale de Mueller. Mais pas que.
