(BOOK EXCERPT) Trump is lying about supporting sending Javelin missiles to Ukraine in 2018. I can’t abide this, as I wrote the most comprehensive account of that sale in print. I’m releasing the uncorrected proof of that part of PROOF OF CORRUPTION in this thread. Please RETWEET.

PS/ This isn’t the only text on the Javelins in the 576 pages of PROOF OF CORRUPTION, but it’s the primary one.

PS2/ For those counting at home, the 2018 episode marks the *third* time Trump screwed with military aid to Ukraine for personal gain: 2016, 2018, and 2019.
In *each* case he fought doing *anything at all* for Ukraine—and relented only when he saw a clandestine personal benefit.

PS3/ As noted, I am releasing uncorrected proofs here—something I would never do outside the current global emergency—so that’s what the yellow flags are (i.e., copy editor’s notes).
Needless to say, the final version in the book is fully corrected and has no yellow notations(!)

PS4/ I also want to note that the Javelin scandal Trump was at the heart of stretched from 2017 to 2018—so in fact Trump was engaged in *withholding key aid* to Ukraine in *every single year* from 2016 through 2019, with him relenting in 2020 only after he was *impeached* for it.
PS5/ Never—*ever*—believe that Trump aided Ukraine in *any way* during his presidency. On those few occasions he allowed military aid to flow, it was (a) following a clandestine shakedown that benefited him personally, and (b) included strings attached intended to *please Putin*.
MORE/ In the event you missed it yesterday, I published a thread (see below) that includes much of PROOF OF CORRUPTION for free: the Introduction; half the Epilogue; the first 4 chapters; and links to key excerpts from 12 other chapters (the book has 44).

MORE/ As a reader notes, Trump also did nothing in 2018 to ensure the INF remained in place. Indeed one of the reasons Trump hired Bolton—whose view of Iraq Trump detested—was Bolton’s views on *Europe*. Here’s an excerpt from what an expert told Stanford: news.stanford.edu/2019/02/01/u-s…
