Ahem.

"According to two people with knowledge of the matter, Parscale Strategy has also been used to make payments out of public view to Lara Trump, the wife of the president’s son Eric, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr."

Tell me again about how concerned the GOP is about politicians' kids monetizing their parent's name:

"Ms. Guilfoyle confronted Parscale: Why were her checks always late? Contrite, Parscale promised the problem would be sorted out promptly, by his wife."

nytimes.com/2020/03/09/us/…
"“I’m making so much money!” Parscale declared, inserting an expletive.

Parscale called the account “untrue and ridiculous,” but since becoming campaign manager, he has bought a $2.4m canalside home in Florida; two condos worth $2m; and a Ferrari."

“Cuccinelli said there is inadequate capacity at health care facilities to bring large numbers of passengers ashore for quarantine, leading lawmakers to question if authorities would again seek to quarantine COVID-19 cases on board a ship held offshore.” washingtonpost.com/travel/2020/03…
“Cuccinelli insisted authorities’ actions in this case will be far more effective than the response given to the ‘viral disaster’ which was the Diamond Princess cruise ship off Japan.”

(Reminder: This is Ken Cuccinelli we’re talking about here).

“Birx now becomes the third person to be designated as the administration’s primary coronavirus official.

Trump said that ‘Mike is going to be in charge.’

Pence said it will be Birx.

Meanwhile, Azar remains chair of the coronavirus task force.” nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/…
“Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, one of the country’s leading experts on viruses and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, told associates that the White House had instructed him not to say anything else without clearance.”

“The decision to put Mr. Pence in charge was made on Wednesday after the president told some people that the vice president didn’t “have anything else to do,” according to people familiar with the president’s comments.”

Ah. Well then.

“Mr. Pence’s slow and ideological response was widely panned for a reason: Pence got it backward. It became a case study in what not to do in the face of a public-health emergency.” msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
“As governor, Pence came under fire for resisting the CDC's urging to allow clean needles to be distributed because of his conservative, religious beliefs. But after mounting pressure from health officials and praying on it, he eventually relented.”

buzzfeednews.com/article/briann…
"Based on Pence’s response to the HIV outbreak in Indiana — 200 infections that could have been prevented if that response had been earlier — that concerns me...We’re already getting a lot of mixed signals. The public needs to be reassured right now."

“We stopped doing any new international business deals when my father won the presidency.”

1) Not true. New developments afoot in Scotland and Ireland
2) “New” is an irrelevant qualifier. There have been projects in motion in Indonesia, India, Uruguay, Dominican Republic, etc.
3) Don Jr, his father and his siblings have been barred from running or serving on NY charities because they abused their family foundation.
4) Loads of domestic operations the Trumps have benefit from foreign patronage
5) All of the Trump kids routinely mix biz and politics.

"One [Firtash] had been indicted on federal bribery charges. The other [Kolomoisky] was embroiled in a vast banking scandal and was reported to be under investigation by the F.B.I."
"...they had one more thing in common: Both had been singled out by Rudolph W. Giuliani and pressed to assist in his wide-ranging hunt for information damaging to one of President Trump’s leading political rivals, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr."
"That effort culminated in the 7/25/19 ph call between the American and Ukrainian presidents that has taken Trump to the brink of impeachment and inexorably brought Mr. Giuliani’s Ukrainian shadow campaign into the light."

Recall, Firtash was supposed to be extradited in July.

Giuliani asked 2 Ukrainian Oligarchs to Help Dig Up Dirt:

Dmitry Firtash & Ihor Kolomoisky.

Both have close ties to the Kremlin & face legal troubles.

Giuliani: “Where do you think you get information about crime?”

H/T ⁦@DrDenaGrayson⁩ nytimes.com/2019/11/25/us/…
They were two Ukrainian oligarchs with American legal problems. One had been indicted on federal bribery charges. The other was embroiled in a vast banking scandal and was reported to be under investigation by the F.B.I.

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.
