@nycsouthpaw Great article. I wish he would have questioned Lutsenko about his role in allowing Kilimnik to escape to Russia. Reminder: Kilimnik is under indictment in the US but now that he’s in Russia, he has evaded extradition. nybooks.com/daily/2019/10/…
@nycsouthpaw Shortly after Kilimnik fled Ukraine for Russia, Lutsenko stopped cooperating all together with the Mueller investigation. Shortly after that, they got their first round of Javelin missiles. nytimes.com/2018/05/02/wor…
@nycsouthpaw Most recently, David Ignatius wrote about Lutsenko and the *first* time Trump held up Javelins. washingtonpost.com/opinions/did-t…
@nycsouthpaw Catherine Croft, in her impeachment testimony, had some interesting things to say about the first time Trump held up Javelins during the Mueller investigation. Most notably, OMB’s role in the hold-up. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6546… 
@nycsouthpaw Catherine Croft noted that at the time it was unusual for OMB to weigh-in on a policy matter especially given that all other relevant agencies (DoD, National Security Council, State) had already agreed on the policy.
@nycsouthpaw During the time of the first Javelin hold (late 2017-early 2018), Mick Mulvaney was *not* chief of staff but he was acting director of OMB.
