SCOOP: As Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani waged a public campaign this year to dig up dirt in Ukraine on Trump’s political rivals, he privately pursued hundreds of thousands of dollars in business from Ukrainian officials.
by @benprotess @WRashbaum @mrothfeld nyti.ms/2XUgHQR
@benprotess @WRashbaum @mrothfeld A federal criminal investigation into Giuliani is examining whether he sought to make money in Ukraine while running a campaign to oust Amb Yovanovitch––if he was doing the bidding of Ukrainians who wanted Yovanovitch removed for their own reasons.
#Maddow
@benprotess @WRashbaum @mrothfeld One proposal, weeks after Giuliani met with then Ukrainian prosecutor Lutsenko and discussed the Bidens and Burisma, said Lutsenko would pay $200K to retain Giuliani and Trump allies diGenova and Toensing 'to advise on Ukrainian claims for asset recovery.'

BREAKING via @kyledcheney: Judge says Don McGahn MUST testify to the House Judiciary Committee.

McGahn may still invoke privilege claims but is not "absolutely immune" from testifying. Case will surely be appealed and main quesiton is whether a stay is issued.
@kyledcheney !! Federal judge rules that Don McGahn must testify to House impeachment investigators: "The subpoenaed official does, as a matter of law, have a duty to respond notwithstanding any contrary order of the President."

The Trump admin is expected to appeal.
n.pr/2rthbRP
@kyledcheney The ruling that Don McGahn must testify could also have implications for other key witnesses, such as former NSA John Bolton who has refused to testify until a federal court weighs in on the conflict between Congress and the White House.

#Breaking pétage de plombs présidentiel...Pour ceux/celles qui doutaient de la pression ressentie par #Trump, il commence par dénoncer à propos du Saturday Night Live la collusion entre réseaux TV et démocrates et souhaiter 1 action judiciaire pour l'interdire...RT
2) #Breaking #Trump continue en pointant les SMS disparus des agents amants du #FBI Strzok et Page...sauf qu'ils ont été récupérés par l'inspecteur général de la Justice après la panne de logiciel explicative google.com/amp/s/www.foxn…
3) Et pour finir, ou presque, #Trump se lamente de la perquisition du FBI chez #Cohen en avril qui a déclenché toute la procédure, car celui-ci était avocat… comme si le statut d'avocat protégeait même d'éventuels crimes commis au nom du client...

#Breaking #Trump muscle le ton et le jeu sur le lien entre exécutif et justice. Dans 1 interview qui s'annonce mémorable à @thehill, il déclare à propos de son ministre Sessions: "Je n'ai pas de ministre de la Justice". #thread thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…
2) Dans la même interview- filmée, #Trump revient sur son incroyable décision de faire déclassifier tous les documents relatifs à l'enquête du #FBI sur son éventuelle collusion avec la #Russie... pour s'y féliciter du mal que cela fera au FBI...thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…
3) Car rappelons que le président US, #Trump, vient donc d'ordonner la déclassification des documents portant sur 1 enquête en cours du #FBI, au risque évident de dévoiler sources, méthodes etc...pour 1 seule raison: cette enquête le concerne. #àlire vox.com/2018/9/17/1787…

#Breaking BADABOUM thermonucléaire. Au printemps 2016, #Trump Jr a reçu des propositions d'aide pour la campagne de son père des Émirats, d'Arabie saoudite et d'1 compagnie israélienne spécialiste de la manipulation des réseaux sociaux. Il a dit oui.#Mueller le sait. Game changer
2) #Breaking #Trump commence bien sûr sa journée en répondant au scoop du @nytimes d'hier qui lui pose 1 énorme problème (car il compromet encore un peu plus son fils). SON argument: comme #Mueller n'a rien trouvé sur la #Russie, il cherche n'importe quoi.
3) Sur la méthode, c'est très intéressant car hier, immédiatement depuis la publication du @nytimes, on a vu des milliers de comptes pro-#Trump "rôder" et diffuser cet argument: #Mueller n'a rien trouvé sur la #Russie, alors il va chercher Arabie Saoudite, EAU et Israël...

#BREAKING:#Trump says Russian meddling began in 2014, "WAY BEFORE HE PLANNED TO RUN." Well turns out he trademarked his #MAGA slogan WAY BACK IN 2012--a few months before HIS #MissUniverse Pageant IN MOSCOW. Hmmm
#TheResistance #TrumpRussia #CNN #MSNBC #FoxNews #bbcnews
#BREAKING:As.@just_susie3 correctly points out, #Trump didn't just go to Moscow for his #MissUniverse pageant, he later bragged to.@hughhewitt in 2015 how he met "THE TOP PEOPLE" in Russia. Hmmm
#TheResistance #TrumpRussia #CNN #MSNBC #FoxNews #bbcnews
#BREAKING:Also check this out from.@kmoc01--A Russian Govt official and #Trump acquaintance tweeted in Jan 2014 that #Trump "WILL BE GREAT PRESIDENT!" and they'd SUPPORT HIM FROM RUSSIA. HOW DID SHE KNOW?--SMOKING GUN!!
