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.

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">https://twitter.com/nbcnews/s...

Mueller and Paul Manafort showed every foreign hustler with the cash to pay America's Mayor how to get his case heard in the Oval Office.

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/s... https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1201672415010598912">https://twitter.com/nytimes/s...
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. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€•" title="Face with head-bandage" aria-label="Emoji: Face with head-bandage">
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">https://twitter.com/j2dumfoun...
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.”
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😈" title="Smiling face with horns" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with horns">
“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

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

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.
