💣FramersWorstNightmare💣

House Judiciary Committee publishes full impeachment report

In making its case that President Donald Trump abused his power and obstructed Congress, the committee concludes, "President Trump has realized the Framers' worst nightmare.
💣FWN💣

Trump Undermined our National Security: “President Trump’s abuse of power harmed the United States. It undermined our national security and weakened our democracy. There is no indication that the President attended to these concerns in pursuing his own political errand.
💣FWN3💣

The President’s Pattern of Obstruction: “The pattern is as unmistakable as it is unnerving. [In 2016], Trump welcomed and invited a foreign nation to interfere in a US Presidential election to his advantage; here, Trump solicited & pressured a foreign nation to do so.
💣FWN4💣

‘The story stands’: McClatchy won’t back off its Michael Cohen-Prague reporting

“Investigators have traced evidence that Cohen entered the Czech Republic through Germany, apparently during August or early September of 2016 as the ex-spy reported.
💣FWN5💣

Cohen’s mobile phone “sent signals ricocheting off cell towers in the Prague area in late summer 2016.”

Also: An Eastern European intelligence agency had eavesdropped on a conversation among Russians, including a comment that Cohen was in Prague.

RU’s State TV Calls Trump Their ‘Agent’

“Puppet Master and ‘Agent’—How to Understand Lavrov’s Meeting With Trump.”

It was Trump, personally, who asked Lavrov to pose standing near as Trump sat at his desk.

It’s almost the literal image of a power behind the throne.
💣FWN7💣

Putin is pleased that Zelensky is still waiting for that critical WH meeting with Trump: the famous “quid pro quo” for Zelensky announcing an inv’n that would smear Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

As yet, Zelensky hasn’t done that, and as yet, no meeting has been set.
💣FWN8💣

Putin’s propaganda brigades enjoy watching the heightened divisions in the US, and how it hurts relations between the US & UKR.

“RU’s state TV uses every opportunity to demoralize the UKRs with talking points based on Trump’s distaste for their beleaguered country.”
💣FWN9💣

Russian state-TV programs constantly reiterate that Trump doesn’t care about Ukraine and gave Putin no reasons to even contemplate concessions in the run-up to the recent Normandy Four summit in Paris. 

This is on you @GOP—this is reason #1432 History will damn you.
💣FWN10💣

“Putin has expressed undisguised delight with the crusade led by Trump and Giuliani to whitewash Moscow’s interference in the U.S. elections.”

Dmitry Evstafiev argued that Trump has to destroy the Republican Party in order to secure his own long-term survival.
💣FWN10💣

The impeachment proceedings seemed to expedite the process, with the GOP’s self-immolation for the sake of its “Dear Leader.”

Semyon Bagdasarov:

“The US is the enemy.

It is our enemy.

It is a hostile state that aims to destroy our country... We are at war!”
💣FWN11💣

Republicans want to dispense with their Constitutional responsibility before the public realizes there is a second Russia-focused federal criminal inv’n underway and that Trump, once again, is at the center of it.
💣FWN12💣

As Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly warned: With Trump, all roads lead to Russia. McConnell, Graham, and Barr—all Republicans, really—know this.

Yet instead of exposing it, they seek to cover it up.

Judge Sullivan accuses Flynn’s legal team of plagiarism, suggests he has made frivolous requests for docs & decimates Flynn’s argument that he was duped into lying.

Giuliani told the New Yorker that he needed former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch "out of the way" because she was going to make the investigations of the Bidens and the 2016 election that he was pushing "difficult for everybody." #AWFDY?

Parnas and Fruman "wanted a sole-source contract or some guarantee they would have a contract to supply LNG to Ukraine through Naftogaz.’ #Firtash

​Standing in the way of these projects were Yovanovitch, Kobolyev and the Naftogaz supervisory board.
💣FWN16💣

Yovanovitch: Parnas and Fruman, working with Giuliani & then-PG Lutsenko, “were interested in having a different amb at post … because they wanted to have business dealings in Ukraine, or additional business dealings.” They “had energy interests, selling LNG to UKR.”
💣FWN17💣

Parnas & Fruman’s appeared to have connex w/UKRs who invested in the VZ energy sector.

RU was “signaling strongly that they wanted a swap agreement btwn VZ & Ukraine” — Russia wdrecognize US interests in controlling Caracas if the US would do the same for RU in Kiev.

Turkey Must Step up Measures Against Money Laundering,

In a report issued on Monday, the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) highlighted gaps in Turkey's efforts to prevent financing of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
💣FWN23💣

Ankara should also improve efforts to prevent "the raising, moving and using of funds for weapons of mass destruction", the report said, adding that Turkey was slow in following up U.N. Security Council resolutions relating to Iran & North Korea (RU).
