Trump Tied Ukraine Aid to Inquiries He Sought, Bolton Book Says
Drafts of the book outline the potential testimony of the former national security adviser if he were called as a witness in the president’s impeachment trial. /

Forgot this important piece. Senate Republicans cannot stand by their oath to “do #impartialjustice” without witnesses and documents. Withholding evidence & witnesses is un American & not what a #FairTrial looks like. #TruthMatters

Giuliani letter dated 5/10/2019:

✅ Asserts he’s representing Trump as private citizen, not POTUS

✅ Emphasizes there are differences between the 2 in “duties & privileges”

✅ Requests Zelensky meeting & says he has Trump’s knowledge & consent

This gun looks smoking! 🔥
Here’s a link to what’s been released thus far in the Lev Parnas files:

5/7/2019: Worried about pressure from Trump to investigate Biden, Zelenskyy gathers his advisors in Kyiv where they discuss the issue of how to handle Trump’s and Giuliani’s demands for investigations of the Bidens.”

Today, #MoscowMitch chooses the betrayer of 🇺🇸.

Mitch in 1999: "The president of the United States looked 270 million Americans in the eye, and lied, deliberately and methodically."

WaPo's count has Trump at 12,019 false/misleading claims.

1. “[I]mpeachment is best regarded as a process,not an outcome. It’s the constitutional mechanism for investigating [if] an executive-branch officer is fit to serve. It requires his accusers to lay out their evidence in public...”@YAppelbaum
#NeedToImpeach
2. “Mueller has now delivered 10 credible allegations of obstructive behavior...The public deserves a chance to examine the evidence...& his supporters & opponents alike deserve the clarity that only convening impeachment hearings can now provide.”

3. This article from January by @YAppelbaum makes a compelling case & addresses many of the arguments against initiating impeachment.

💦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."

"He (Bolton), Mr. Pompeo and Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper had collectively pressed the president about releasing the aid nearly a dozen times in the preceding weeks.

Mr. Trump had effectively rebuffed them, airing his longstanding grievances about Ukraine....

#BoltonBook draft leaks!

1. Confirms core #Impeachment allegation.

2. Bolton said he'd testify if subpoenaed (he presumably knows would be despite any WHouse objection).

3. Senate not calling him now is not about a fair trial, it's about whether there's a trial at all.
"Trump told his national security adviser in August that he wanted to continue freezing ... security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser."
#BoltonBook draft strongly suggests Attorney General #Barr LIED about at least when and how he knew Trump mentioned him on the call with Zelenskyy.👇

Raises again issues of Barr's ethical failure to recuse from whistle blower complaint, criminal referrals to DOJ, and more.

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.
