📌Reminder: Joe diGenova represents the interests of indicted Oligarch Dymtro Firtash, who largely bankrolled the smear campaign against the Biden’s, to help Trump defeat Joe Biden
Parnas’ wife received wire transfers from a bank account in Russia.

The sum was $1M.

Firtash provided key documents that Giuliani used to further his discredited claim that former Vice President Joe Biden engaged in wrongdoing in Ukraine.

nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
Firtash hired two Trump-allied lawyers Victoria Toensing and Joseph diGenova who were already working with Giuliani on his dirt-digging mission, which has led to intense speculation that Firtash is helping to finance Giuliani’s Biden smear campaign

nytimes.com/2019/11/25/us/…
Firtash fighting extradition to the United States on bribery and racketeering charges is seeking to link his defense to allegations made by U.S. Trump and Giuliani that Biden tried to pressure Ukrainian politicians.

foreignpolicy.com/2019/10/03/giu…
The effort by Dmytro Firtash, described in Department of Justice court filings as an “upper-echelon [associate] of Russian organized crime,” underlines the wide-ranging intensions of Giuliani’s effort to use Ukraine as a wedge issue in U.S. politics.

In July, Firtash made a revealing change to his Washington legal team, hiring Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing, a husband-and-wife duo closely associated with the Trump administration.

foreignpolicy.com/2019/10/03/giu…
Toensing & diGenova reportedly worked with Giuliani as he sought to mine damaging information on the president’s rivals in Ukraine and have been involved in Republican Party campaigns dating back to the impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998.

🔑Why does Giuliani’s pal indicted oligarch Dymtro Firtash hate Biden?

📌Gas industry experts say the gas-market reforms pushed by Biden and others in 2014 and 2015 hit Firtash in the wallet, and badly—to the time of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Russians Hacked Burisma at Center of Impeachment

It appears the Russians searched for potentially embarrassing material on the Bidens — the same kind of information that Trump wanted from Ukraine when he pressed for an inv’n of the Bidens and Burisma. nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
The Russian tactics are strikingly similar to what American intelligence agencies say was Russia’s hacking of emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential campaign.

nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
Then, as now, the Russian hackers from a military intelligence unit known formerly as the G.R.U., and to private researchers by the alias “Fancy Bear,” used so-called phishing emails that appear designed to steal usernames and passwords. nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…

18 Revelations From a Trove of Trump Tax Records

Times reporters have obtained decades of tax information the president has hidden from public view. Here are some of the key findings. nytimes.com/2020/09/27/us/…
đź“ŚTrump paid no federal income taxes in 11 of 18 years. In 2017, after he became president, his tax bill was only $750.

đź“ŚHe has reduced his tax bill with questionable measures, including a $72.9 million tax refund that is the subject of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service.
Many of his signature biz’s, including his golf courses, report losing large amounts of money — losses that have helped him to lower his taxes.

The financial pressure on him is increasing as hundreds of millions of dollars in loans he personally guaranteed are soon coming due.

“Hey, don’t close RAZOR (#Flynn).”

The partly redacted messages don’t indicate why the reversal occurred — it came just 20 minutes after the doc to close the case had been circulating and less than a week after Flynn spoke by phone to RU Amb Kislyak. politico.com/news/2020/04/3…
Transcripts of calls between Flynn, Russian diplomat (Kislyak) show that the two did discuss sanctions as the incoming administration sought to avoid escalating the conflict over Russian interference in the presidential election. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
RW media is attempting to characterize the FBI inv’n into Flynn as an op to “get Flynn.” It’s true the FBI was about to close the case when intercepts of Flynn’s convos with Kislyak dropped asking RU not to retaliate about the sanctions the Obama adm imposed re elex interference.
