So, the Obama administration withheld lethal assistance that was authorized by Congress for Ukraine, but
a) informed Congress of that decision
b) provided alternate military assistance in its stead
c) while continuing to honor the Budapest Memorandum.
d) followed through.
The Trump administration
a) provided lethal assistance to Ukraine for 1 year (gave them a taste for free )
b ) Ukraine incurred sunk costs - an investment of UKR resources for training and maintenance, and got them hooked
c) increased the cost to include providing election assistance for Trump, with a hard deadline that would result in them being cut off for a year if they chose to ignore the cost... i.e. threatened to cut them off while they were jonesing
It's a workflow Trump has a LOT of personal experience with.

So. Let's say information going to a campaign is not mandated to be included in FEC reports.

For something somebody happens to know offhand, that's reasonable.

But when something is not known IN ADVANCE and requires research, which most people don't do for free:
when a foreign nation-state's intelligence apparatus dedicates a full division solely to a months-long operation to access, exfiltrate, and weaponize information via theft -

it has value to them.

Share that info with the opposition & it inherits the value of the expenditure.
If information is solicited, and is not immediately on hand, if it requires additional effort to procure - that is unquestionably soliciting a thing of value.

If @clairecmc is wondering why Trump hired the #EpsteinAllStars to represent him in his impeachment trial:

Starr and Dershowitz probably gave them all a discount for being repeat customers.*

*Remember that non-prosecution agreement for Epstein's co-conspirators?
Trump is not the only one in that room was previously protected by Starr and Dershowitz .

Dershowitz and Starr know where all the skeletons are...
and who helped cover those skeletons up for decades.

They're there to remind the senators of the consequences.

#RICOdescarnado.
And, of course, Jay Sekulow's secrets were all spilled in the SMARTech breach too - when Russian agents hacked the home to 20 years worth of RNC/GOP campaign/organizations' data, emails, voicemails, and more.

Everything up to Denny Hastert's guilty plea.

#BlanketDefiance is a far better description of what the administration did than "blanket immunity"/"absolute immunity" or Executive Privilege.

Well done, @RepJeffries
@RepJeffries Just not showing up is not supported by any law.

There may be questions that individuals like Don McGahn could answer about Trump activities or statements made OUTSIDE THE scope of any relevant priviledge - i.e. during the campaign - that would go towards intent...
Anyone involved in the administration or the President's legal team who had any interaction with Trump outside of and/or prior to the inauguration should be require to show up, and to answer all questions except those for which the White House explicitly asserts privilege...

#Soros drafted a confidential strategy whereby he names himself "a self-appointed advocate of the new #Ukraine."

Given #SpyGate of the Obama administration at that time, he expected #HillaryClinton to win.

In the 2015 strategy for #Ukraine, Soros laid out a short-term (3-6 months) & medium-term (3-5 years) plan for Ukraine #ForeignAid & #Military strategy, as if he expected he'd still be ruling Earth.

#Ukraine’s on the verge of martial law b/c #Russia just seriously escalated its 4yo illegal war—blocking key Kerch Strait, firing on & seizing 3 Ukrainian navy ships, wounding 6 Ukrainian sailors—AND Trump attacks NATO & EU. Appalling, terrifying & expected of a #PutinPuppet.
#Russia’s fresh aggression in its 4+yr illegal war on #Ukraine is a crisis with advance warning. Read @KyivPost’s coverage of Russia’s military threats to gain control of Azov Sea kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi… via @BSBonner #KerchStrait #KerchBlockade #PutinWar #RussiaAttacksUkraine
Escalating tensions between #Russia and #Ukraine in the Sea of Azov bear echoes of Russian provocations that led to the war with Georgia in 2008 atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla… via @AtlanticCouncil h/t @IlvesToomas #KerchBlockade #KerchStrait #RussiaAttacksUkraine #BlackSea

OBAMA should be more mindful when accusing Trump about the press & leaks:

1. It is common knowledge among journalists that the #Obama administration has prosecuted more leakers under the 1917 Espionage Act than all former presidents combined. But few admit this truth.
2. The Committee to Protect Journalists released its first comprehensive report on US press freedom.

They discovered that the Obama administration’s policies have undermined the role of the press in three fundamental ways.
3. First, the government’s war on leaks has not only intimidated whistleblowers, it has ensnared journalists.
