Can we talk about Trump and Kushner finances now?
Offshore money continues to pour into businesses owned or overseen by Trump/Kushner.
And the subsidiary of Deutsche Bank that lent to Trump was also DEEPLY intertwined with the Kremlin. forensicnews.net/2020/01/21/rus…

🚨🚨 Barr has replaced DC prosecutor Jessie Liu (who was overseeing many Mueller cases, including some ongoing) and has replaced her with a staunch ally of his. nhregister.com/news/crime/art…
This will get overlooked but CANNOT. DC was the main jurisdiction where Mueller handed his ongoing cases. Now run by a Barr flunky. Liu was tough but fair.
We are watching the complete destruction of our judiciary. The third branch.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (DBTCA) had more liabilities to the Kremlin in 2013 than it did to ALL entities in the US.
This is an AMERICAN subsidiary of a German bank. Deeply liable to Putin while lending to Trump and Kushner.

💦Deluge💦

During a convo in Aug w/ Trump, Bolton mentioned his concern over the delay of the $391M in congressionally appropriated assistance to Ukraine as a deadline neared to send the money.

Trump: No aid to UKR until they agree to give him materials re inv’ns he sought.
💦Deluge2💦

Specifically Trump preferred sending no assistance to Ukraine until officials had turned over all materials they had about the Russia inv’n related to Biden & supporters of HRC in Ukraine,

Trump was at odds with his senior national security officials
💦Deluge3💦

Per Bolton, Pompeo & Esper joined him in pressing Trump to release the aid in the weeks leading up to the Aug meeting.

Bolton says he talked to Barr & Pompeo abt Giuliani.

Pompeo admitted to Bolton last spring that Giuliani’s claims abt Yovanovitch, had no basis.

I have to put my live-thread on hold. Bolton just confirmed the damn quid pro quo—and says it came directly from a conversation with Trump. This (if America were a real country, if this were a real investigation, if we were in the middle of a real trial) would be THE smoking gun.
NEW YORK TIMES: "Secretary of State Pompeo acknowledged privately that there was no basis to claims by the president’s lawyer Rudolph Giuliani that the ambassador to Ukraine was corrupt and believed Mr. Giuliani may have been acting on behalf of other clients, Mr. Bolton wrote."
NEW YORK TIMES: "Trump told Bolton in August that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser."

John Bolton ‘told Mr. Barr that the president had mentioned him on the call.
A spokeswoman for Barr denied that he learned of the call from Bolton; the Justice Department has said he learned about it only in mid-August.’

Barr must recuse now from any SDNY open investigations.
