This amazing WaPo story establishes :

a) The president was more concerned about his own chief of staff snooping on his calls than foreign adversaries.

b) Giuliani is "otherwise known for his lack of technological sophistication.”

US District Judge Chhabria will allow a Cambridge Analytica-related case to go ahead, slapping down Facebook’s efforts to get it dismissed.

"Because Facebook’s view of this issue pervades so many of its individual legal arguments – and because Facebook’s view is so wrong – it is addressed at the outset."
"Less clear is what Facebook is promising to do to protect users."

Thread: The entire "Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report"
The impeachment inquiry into Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, uncovered a months-long effort by President Trump to use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election.
As described in this executive summary and the report that follows, President Trump’s scheme subverted U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine and undermined our national security in favor of two politically motivated investigations that would help his presidential reelection campaign

Highlights from the House Democratic Impeachment Report:

intelligence.house.gov/report/
"President Trump, personally and acting through agents within and outside of the U.S. government, solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, to benefit his reelection."
"The President engaged in this course of conduct for the benefit of his own presidential reelection, to harm the election prospects of a political rival, and to influence our nation’s upcoming presidential election to his advantage."

Lutsenko said Giuliani told him he would have to hire a lobbyist to get the meeting.

“They even offered me such a company,” Lutsenko said.

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.
