heard from a source who urged me to look at Ukraine ceding Dunbas to Russia as *real* reason for Donald& #39;s releasing security funds

like anything with Tangerine Saddam there are *layers* of crimes; I believe #Whistleblower witnessed acts so cartoonishly illegal he or she had to come forward https://twitter.com/Politidope/status/1175788903795703809?s=20">https://twitter.com/Politidop...

Ukraine& #39;s inexplicable/sudden deference to Russia might have been specifically to please Donald—who as we all know is a Russian asset

in no universe would Ukraine suddenly start cooperating with Russia when Putin has proxies committing atrocities all over the region

to review:

- Putin currently holds like 700 grudges
- Election 2016 was ratf*cked because he hates Hillary
- Ukraine kicked out Putin& #39;s man in Kiev, Viktor Yanukovych in & #39;14
- after which Putin stole Crimea and attacked Ukrainian sovereignty

- Putin now has his asset in D.C.
- @realDonaldTrump is a useful idiot in that he does what he& #39;s told

my sense is they& #39;d be MORE than willing to play ball with #TrumpCrimeFamily https://www.vox.com/2019/9/20/20875471/rudy-giuliani-chris-cuomo-cnn-meltdown-trump-ukraine-cnn">https://www.vox.com/2019/9/20...

back to #WhistleblowerGate;

we& #39;re fairly certain a "promise" caused our DNI patriot to come forward

requesting Biden dirt (which sounds SO like Donald) doesn& #39;t fit "promise" construct as @kdrum lays out here for @MotherJones https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2019/09/what-promise-did-trump-make-to-ukraine/">https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-dru...

What promise did Trump make to Ukraine?

https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2019/09/what-promise-did-trump-make-to-ukraine/

do I believe @realDonaldTrump is scared of Biden?

he& #39;s scared of salad, condoms and certain light bulbs so yeah all 2020 Dems frighten him

do I believe Donald would request Biden dirt in a multi-layered mafia scheme?

also yes https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/13/politics/trump-orange-light-bulbs/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/1...

think of Donald& #39;s crimes as series of multi-layer felony cakes; #WhistleblowerGate alone probably has 14 layers and our fork has only pierced a few tiers

CODA: Donald is a sociopath so he most likely promised Ukraine to Putin

CODA 4: earlier I mentioned Zelensky would be "more than willing to play ball"

based on #transcript inexplicably released by Donald & AG* Barr that& #39;s in fact TRUE

@ZelenskyyUa frantically sucking up to Tangerine Saddam is... a marvel https://twitter.com/bywillpollock/status/1176868821837209600?s=20">https://twitter.com/bywillpol...

you WILL be thrown under the bus at Donald& #39;s earliest opportunity that includes you Feckless @IvankaTrump and any world leaders too

CODA 5: here& #39;s a scalding take: watch for mass resignations from Donald& #39;s administration* as a result of #UkraineScandal in coming weeks

- AG* Barr

CODA 7: why hasn& #39;t JD Gordon been subpoenaed to explain himself? Mr Gordon:

- orchestrated GOP& #39;s still-unexplained Ukraine platform change in & #39;16; lied about it

- is a Trump Crime Family apologist

- got the snot beat out of him by @mehdirhasan https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/headtohead/2019/01/transcript-jd-gordon-donald-trump-190107070002829.html">https://www.aljazeera.com/programme...

ya know, like Putin himself

imagine doing your job and trying to bring dignity/freedom to Ukraine and then suddenly learn @RudyGiuliani wants to toss you under any nearby bus

scalding take: Rudy& #39;s going to prison

if U.S. journalists can& #39;t figure out how to say " @RudyGiuliani decided Yovanovitch wasn& #39;t corrupt enough" why do we even have media in the first place? #MarieYovanovitch #UkraineScandal #Ukraine

so darn perplexing how AG* Barr keeps popping up in this Dramatic Treason Table Read; weird!

#MarieYovanovitch #Ukraine

if I were having tea with Marie I& #39;d gently remind her Manafort & boyfriend JD Gordon *frantically* changed RNC platform on behalf of Putin #MarieYovanovitch #Ukraine

NEWSBREAK >> @thehill is literal hot garbage

<quick downbeat>

...KIDDING I was never trying to protect you now HIT THE BRICKS, LADY" #MarieYovanovitch

UPDATE 7: drilling down on McKinley& #39;s testimony it& #39;s quite clear @SecPompeo is a liar and fraud #UkraineScandal #McKinley

. @SecPompeo repays competence & loyalty by backing up the bus and running over #McKinley multiple times just to make sure #Ukraine

UPDATE 8— #Impeachment Edition: never tagged JD Gordon but like any courageous MAGA he was offended by my analysis

today& #39;s #ImpeachmentHearings trace back to GOP Ukraine platform change in & #39;16 which @realjdgordon frantically jammed through

Gordon needs a subpoena too
