The same day Lev Parnas texted former Ukrainian prosecutor Lutsenko, with whom he was collaborating on the attempted Biden dirt project, that Ambassador Yovanovitch is “not getting away,” Rudy Giuliani had the 1st of 2 chats with Secy Pompeo. I’m sure nothing about it came up.
According to the FOIA’d documents that revealed the conversations between Giuliani and Pompeo, The White House helped arrange contact between the two.
Yovanovitch was removed as Ambassador on May 20. Trump’s comment to Zelensky that she was going to “go through some things” didn’t happen until July 25. (Completing the sequence for the timeline geeks among us)
This is more-than-sufficient predication to warrant an investigation. AG Barr cannot credibly conduct it. There must be a special counsel. And this is separate & in addition to impeachment, which only applies to Trump. There must be a process with full investigative resources.

How do you assess Parnas’ credibility? To the extent he’s a defendant in a criminal case & says things prosecutors can use against him, that makes him seem trustworthy. But everything he says must be corroborated.
In many instances he seems to assume people like Pence or Barr knew what was going on & the reasons for that need to be developed & corroborated.
If his testimony holds up, its absolute bombshell. The Senate must call and hear from witnesses but it takes investigation to corroborate & the House doesn’t have the same resources DOJ has. This interview proves we must have a Special Counsel & AG Barr must be recused.

You probably saw this season 3 plot twist coming-Russia hacked Burisma, where Hunter Biden was on the board, after the Trump scandal broke & likely looking for negative info on Biden. nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
It's important to be savvy consumers of news here, especially on the forensic side of the equation. First will be the strength of the attribution of the hack to Russian GRU. And, if anything derogatory on the Bidens is produced, there will be significant issues of authentication.
There is NO indication here that Trump made any kind of plea to Russia for help so far, but it will be difficult to avoid that question in light of 2016's "Russia are you listening" & the "requests" to China & Ukraine. Lots of questions here.

"Nothing." This appropriate result still doesn't erase the unforgivable sin that AG Sessions committed by opening a criminal investigation to please the president. DOJ is not a tool for presidents to use against people they think are their enemies. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
It's also nice to confirm that despite the problems at DOJ during this administration, career people, even when politically appointed, can do the right thing. Huber's work should embolden more people to stiffen their spines.
.@HillaryClinton must be the most scrutinized person in American. Yet I still hear people saying they don’t like because of “you know, all that stuff she’s done.” No, I don’t. Quit it.

This message between Parnas and former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Lutsenko (who fed Giuliani most of the lies he spread) helps connect why getting rid of Amb. Marie Yovanovitch was a priority.

Lutsenko says without that piece, his stories about Biden are less credible
This whole string of messages is stunning actually. Here’s Lutsenko mocking Parnas for not being able to hold up his end of the job and get Yovanovitch fired

“She’s not getting away,” Parnas promises

intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Then in late March, days before Ukraine’s presidential election, Parnas writes to assure Lutsenko that “America supports you and will not let you be harmed no matter how things looks now.”

We are allegedly soon to begin the second of our two hearings today.

Coming up:

Tim Morrison - former National Security Counsel official in charge of overseeing Russia and Europe policy

Kurt Volker - former Special Representative to Ukraine

Mute this if boring to you...

You'll be happy to know that I wolfed down a cheeseburger and beer during the break.

It was good but the pace of consumption made it less than satisfying.

There will be a follow-up round required after this next hearing. Maybe I'll get a salad.
While we wait, Rep. Jim Himes just said on MSNBC that there is talk that one of the Intel Committee's deposed witnesses may be poised to amend their testimony.

If this is true, it would seem likely the witness would be Volker revising the record to match what he will say today.

#Parnas went to Warsaw, ck dates
"I arranged the Shokin call with the mayor," #Parnas tells NPR, referring to Giuliani by his title from when he was mayor of New York City.

There also were meetings in late January in New York and mid-February in Warsaw with Yuriy Lutsenko."

npr.org/2019/09/27/765…
"In just three wks in July, he racked up charges in Warsaw, L.A., Washington, and N.Y., spending thousands at each stop. There was a $3,182 charge at a glitzy nightclub in WeHo and more than $1K at two Japanese restaurants — all on the same day." #Parnas

New evidence suggests #Ukraine played a key role in creating Trump-#RussianCollusion narrative at the behest of @BarackObama officials
theepochtimes.com/joe-biden-obam…
As #Ukraine underwent dramatic changes in 2014, then-VP @JoeBiden played a critical role in the @BarackObama admin’s involvement in the revolution that ousted #Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

Following the revolution, Biden would use his influence to help force the…
… creation of the troubled National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU). Notably, during the 2016 elections information leaked from NABU on Trump’s campaign manager #PaulManafort that helped to create the false #RussianCollusion narrative.
