"The reports by intelligence analysts cite evidence that the propagandists were taking credit for helping to spread disinformation about Ukraine, and celebrating the traction it was getting, particularly with conservative news organizations."

"The intelligence was shared with members of Congress, including lawmakers who have become some of the most vocal advocates for investigating Ukraine’s alleged interference."

In other words:

**They all know what they're doing and who's bidding it is.**

One of the things I did not have on my impeachment bingo card is that the GOP would have to sideline the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee from these proceedings...

1/3
Notice how it was Nadler (D) and Collins (R) from Judiciary leading things in the morning...

and then Schiff (D) and... Collins again in the afternoon?

Devin Nunes (not Collins) is Schiff's Republican counterpart on the Intel Committee.

Where's Congressman Nunes?...

2/3
Impeachments are so rare that there's no such thing as a normal one.

But the House GOP having their own supposed lead investigator in the impeachment scandal... *himself* tied up in the scandal is... quite the plot twist.

"Parnas and Fruman 'wanted a sole-source contract or some guarantee they would have a contract to supply liquified natural gas to Ukraine through Naftogaz,” using the company’s infrastructure such as pipelines and storage tanks...

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
"Standing in the way of these projects were US Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, Naftogaz's reformist CEO and the Naftogaz supervisory board.

Giuliani’s clients, with an array of influential helpers, appear to have tried to replace all three."

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
"When Giuliani was asked by Politico in October whether he had been aware of the campaign to install new board members at Naftogaz, he answered: 'I may or may not know anything about it'.”

Prosecutors' new filing in the Lev Parnas case requests revocation of his bail.

Remarkable turn of events, given Parnas's key role in the Ukraine scheme for which the president is now being impeached.

Here prosecutors cite Lev's "seemingly limitless access to foreign funds":
"In the last three years, Parnas received in excess of $1.5 million from Ukrainian and Russian sources":
"Parnas is aware that is is likely he will be charged with additional offenses"

So @realDonaldTrump once said that he knew Ukraine was the real culprit ...
BECAUSE “PUTIN TOLD ME.”

Former White House officials say they feared Putin influenced the president’s views on Ukraine and 2016 campaign

This article is based on interviews with 15 former administration and government officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to offer their candid views
Almost from the moment he took office, Trump seized on a theory that troubled his senior aides:

Ukraine, he told them on many occasions, had tried to stop him from winning the White House.

📌 Putin said:

Our live stream of the annual worldwide threats hearing here. washingtonpost.com/video/national… Top U.S. intelligence officials all testifying. Expect emphasis on threats from China and Russia. Will thread notable parts.
DNI Dan Coats says that the intel community believes foreign actors will try to use the 2020 elections "to advance their interests." Warning of a repeat of 2016, 2018 interventions.
Russia will use cyber techniques to try to influence Ukraine's upcoming elections as well, Coats says.

Trump’s decision to fire Comey and other attempts to contain the ongoing Russia investigation led the FBI in May 2017 to launch a counterintelligence investigation into whether Trump was seeking to help Russia and if so, why.

Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Putin, including confiscating the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to reveal what had transpired with his OWN administration officials
#Maddow
Trump has regularly concealed communications with Putin and even prevented his own high-ranking officials from knowing what he told a main adversary of the US. There's no detailed record of Trump’s face-to-face interactions with Putin at 5 locations over the past 2 years.

Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired 🚨 wapo.st/2Fyrqtt?tid=ss…
U.S. officials said there is no detailed record, even in classified files, of Trump’s face-to-face interactions with the Russian leader at five locations over the past two years.
U.S. intelligence agencies have been reluctant to call attention to their reports because they have at times included comments by foreign officials disparaging the president or his advisers, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner. "The feedback tended not to be positive.”

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
