Is this why Bolton quit? https://twitter.com/joycewhitevance/status/1183939919095443458?s=21
Perhaps.

“Giuliani’s a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up,” Ms. Hill quoted Mr. Bolton as saying during an earlier conversation.”

I guess Bolton didn’t want to get hit with the schrapnel.
💣💥
Fiona “The Slayer” Hill.

“According to whom?”
Parnas tells some whoppers.
He works for Firtash. He has for a long time. https://twitter.com/andrewsweiss/status/1183846003784519681?s=21
By “holed up” I believe Polly Sigh means “arrested and awaiting extradition to the United States.” https://twitter.com/dcpoll/status/1182373734923014155?s=21
Yes, Rudy admits, Fraud Guarantee paid me half a million last year. However, for the president of the United States, he works for free. https://twitter.com/jonathanlanday/status/1183945045377998850?s=21
So that temblor reminds me, all of this has a California angle...

In addition to #IgorAndLev, we had the arrest of Andrey Kukushin in San Francisco.
And he is involved in the California marijuana market with what looks to my eyes like the Serbian-American mob who often have a lot of intersectionality with the Russia/Ukrainian mafiya.

Such is the nature of transnational organized crime.

https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/article236118253.html
I do think Muravyov is the better spelling of Муравьёв.

Foreign Investor-1 made his fortune building up Siberian Cement into the largest cement company in the world, along the way giving himself & managers loans that went unpaid. Mobligarchs gotta mob.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Muravyov
And OK, what would my tweets be without legion typos?

Hall spelled it Muraviev.
It’s just that in Russian the “ё” has a long “O” sound that is better transliterated as “YO”.
Before we get back to the crime scene, an aside. I just can not think of Kevin Hall anymore without thinking about this story he posted on how Trump bought a Hollywood mansion for $0.00.

The most seriously underrated story of all?

https://twitter.com/kevinghall/status/984506881648492545?s=21
Alright, here is a very official looking portrait of Foreign Investor-1, which may be subject to copyright, but I think we can agree that this falls under fair use, can’t we?

Андрей Анатольевич Муравьёв
Andrey Muravyov
I mean, I think it’s the same guy as who is funding #IgorAndLev and thus Rudy. But maybe it’s time to go back and reread the 20 page indictment. 🤨
Meanwhile, Rudy says he does not need a lawyer.

So to recap:

The president’s attorney (paid by Ukrainian associates of a wanted mobligarch) went to Ukraine, leaned on the new president of Ukraine to give up dirt on Biden’s son, or 45 would withhold aid had Congress approved, despite warnings from Fiona Hill & maybe Bolton.
And then, there were four. https://twitter.com/nbcnews/status/1184484050330890242?s=21
If it’s what you say, I love it.

Golly gee, Rudy,

Alrighty then, as usual my musical gifts are as underrated as that story about 45 buying a Hollywood mansion for $0.

Let’s look back. Recall my suggestion that the withdrawal of troops from Donbas by Ze! was the PRO QUO.

Allow me to refresh your memory https://twitter.com/j2dumfounded/status/1175287246812934144?s=21
Here is the letter from Kuchma, the negotiator and former president, announcing the agreement reached on September 11.

https://www.unian.info/politics/10706322-document-signed-by-kuchma-in-minsk-posted-on-network-photo.html

This was released October 1; without further research we don’t know exactly what time the agreement was struck in Minsk.
Looping back to the Just Security mock trial a few tweets back, we see that September 12 is the date given for the funds to be released.

https://twitter.com/frankfigliuzzi1/status/1187438551438372874?s=21
#Shakedown
Is it possible to draw a straighter line?

11 September • Ze! agrees to #SteinmeierFormula

12 September • 45 releases aid to Ukraine.

Hence QUID PRO QUO
Remember that time Clint Eastwood talked to an empty chair on the stage of the RNC?

Good times.

I’m old enough to remember when the Republicans were not the party of feeding at the mobligarchy’s trough.
Trump really and truly is Putin’s puppet.
And you’re like, what does that dummy know?

Let me repeat

September 11 the Ukrainians agree to the plan Putin has wanted for years to manage the occupied area

September 12 POTUS & his personal attorney Rudy allow the United States to send Ukraine long-delayed aid.

Maybe I should have kept this thread going instead of reverting to my typical fare of one-off tweets & replies.

But let’s just say it’s never too late on Twitter to KOB, as Winston Churchill would say. #KOB #IgorAndLev

https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1201672415010598912?s=21 https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1201672415010598912
Many of you may be contemplating, with a long December of impeachment hearings, trips to NATO, Normandy format meetings, & whatnot, how to maximize the free views NYT provides monthly.

Well suffice to say I crossed that Rubicon some months ago.
Here, my friends, some nuggets:
The former* Ukrainian officials, both corrupt and disgraced former Prosecutor Generals (equivalent to USA’s Attorney General) are Shokin and Lutsenko. They make #CoverupGeneral Billy Barr look upright as if that was even possible. 🤕
My currently pinned thread on Viktor Shokin leaves out the 2016 developments where at long last Biden leaned on Poroshenko to fire Shoken. Biden was doing so at the behest of the international community, not solo. https://twitter.com/j2dumfounded/status/1198812185964662793?s=21
Back to the NYT story, where Lev finds that house arrest is cramping his style:

“Later in the hearing, when a lawyer for Mr. Parnas asked that house arrest conditions be loosened for his client, Mr. Zolkind said Mr. Parnas was still under investigation for additional crimes.”
😈
“Still, they have not been charged in connection with the work they did on behalf of Mr. Giuliani to pressure Ukraine to announce an investigation into former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter.”

Not yet, anyway.
I’m a glutton for schadenfreude, as it turns out, and Rudy is my current #BlackCaviar

🐟🍳

“Federal prosecutors are also investigating whether Mr. Giuliani broke lobbying laws in his dealings in Ukraine, people familiar with the inquiry have said.”

😈
Please to recall, it’s not just #IgorAndLev it’s the #FraudGauranteeFour, when we justly include Correia and Kukushkin — who I believe were on a slightly different hearing schedule than our amigos from Belarus and Ukraine.
I must say this photo of Kukushkin stays with me. It’s taking up the space in my head that would better serve… oh I dunno…combatting climate change, if Hillary were president.

What type of yacht is that, anyway? Is that San Pablo Bay? Hey tweeps, help a resister out here.
Enough editorializing!

It’s back to the Gray Lady & FARA — which is bigly my hobby horse, and Mueller’s too, it seems — is mentioned.

“Federal investigators are examining potential violations of criminal laws governing lobbying in the United States on behalf of a foreign govt.
Let’s just pause to honor a woman who embodies the very best of American values — Marie Yovanovitch — a consumate foreign affairs professional.
🗽
Here is an excerpt from her testimony.

https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/20191104_-_yovanovitch_transcript_excerpts_final.pdf
Breathe deeply from Yovanovitch’s rarified atmosphere before we dive into the reeking stench of red herrings.

Zolkind stuns the troll lawyer Lefcourt, by saying NO CLASSIFIED MATERIALS WILL BE USED TO PROSECUTE THE #FraudGuaranteeFour

Oh, so scrumptious, the schadenfreude! 🦪
Unnamed Russian citizen, mon derrière.

And that my friends, is the end of this story.

Except for one tiny detail, revealed weeks ago, in this selfsame thread on #IgorAndLev.
