    At this point it's hard to tell if you're joking or if you're unironically posting a fake headline from a "news" channel with 159 followers.

    Trump rails against Fox News after brutal poll:

    'Whoever their pollster is, they suck'


    a brutal Fox News poll showed a majority of voters,

    51 percent, support impeaching the president


    and !!!!

    removing him from office.

    That's up nine percentage points since a Fox News poll conducted in July.

    renewing his attacks on Fox News personalities who have criticized him

    like anchor Shepard Smith and

    legal analyst Andrew Napolitano, who
    recently

    blasted
    the president for "reckless, cons utionally destructive behavior."

    Trump provided himself some solace, though, by capping off his complaint with,

    "Oh well, I'm President!"

    The Clintons were witch-hunted and slandered all through the 1990s by Repugs and VRWC, but no witches, until Linda Tripp fell into witch-less Ken Starr's lap.

    Clinton abused and harassed by the Repugs was a bigger crime than his lie to he GJ.

    Compare Clinton's lie to 1000s of Trash's lies, including the many dishonest "I forgots" of his written responses to Mueller

    Trump is openly telling us he’s above the law. Here’s his next move.

    It’s worth stepping back and stating in plain language just

    how profoundly President Trump is corrupting our political system right now.

    Trump’s total defiance of oversight poses a

    massive challenge to our cons utional order.

    Trump is not merely staking out an absolute refusal to cooperate with any and all lawful subpoenas, on the deeply absurd grounds that the House’s impeachment inquiry is illegitimate, as the White House counsel has argued.


    Rather, Trump is adopting that stance

    while simultaneously claiming the absolute right

    to bend large swaths of the government

    toward his goal of rigging the next election on his own behalf.

    Thus,

    Trump is declaring absolute authority to use extraordinarily corrupt means to avoid facing a fair election next year,

    while also declaring total immunity to any and all congressional efforts to prevent him from rigging that election,

    or even to hold him accountable for it.

    Trump’s effort to corrupt the election, and

    his placement of himself beyond all congressional oversight,

    are part of the same story:

    the attempted destruction of any and all mechanisms of accountability.

    Burisma paid Joe Biden $900,000 for lobbying – Ukrainian MP

    17:43, 09.10.2019 4 min read
    KYIV. Oct 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 for lobbying activities from Burisma Group, Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada member Andriy Derkach said citing investigation materials.

    Derkach publicized do ents which, as he said, "describe the mechanism of getting money by Biden Sr." at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine's press center in Kyiv on Wednesday.

    "This was the transfer of Burisma Group's funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe, personally to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the U.S.-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which according to open sources, in particular, the New York Times, is affiliated with Biden. The payment reference was payment for consultative services," Derkach said.

    He also publicized sums that were transferred to Burisma Group representatives, in particular Hunter Biden, a son of the former U.S. vice president.

    "According to the do ents, Burisma paid no less than $16.5 million to [former Polish President, who became an independent director at Burisma Holdings in 2014] Aleksander Kwasniewski, [chairman of the Burisma board of independent directors] Alan Apter, [Burisma independent director] Devon Archer and Hunter Biden [who joined the Burisma board of directors in 2014]," Derkach said.

    "Using political and economic levelers of influencing Ukrainian authorities and manipulating the issue of providing financial aid to Ukraine, Joe Biden actively assisted closing criminal cases into the activity of former Ukrainian Ecology Minister Mykola Zlochevsky, who is the founder and owner of Burisma Group," he said.

    "Biden's fifth visit to Kyiv on December 7-8, 2015 was devoted to making a decision on the resignation of [then Ukrainian Prosecutor General] Viktor Shokin over the case of Zlochevsky and Burisma. Loan guarantees worth $1 billion that the United States was to give to Ukraine was the point of pressure. Biden himself admitted exerting pressure in his speech at the Council of Foreign Relations in January 2018, calling Shokin 'son of a who was fired'," Derkach said.

    The timeline of events proves that the U.S. linked the Zlochevsky case to loan guarantees, he said.

    After the decree dismissing Shokin was published on April 3, 2016, the governments of the United States and Ukraine signed a loan guarantee agreement worth $1 billion, several months later, on June 3, he said.

    "In this case, there are facts should be subject to investigation. There is an agency that has powers to investigate them; the U.S. Department of Justice. If the Ukrainian Prosecutor General signs do ents and send them to U.S. Department of Justice without any requests, he will accomplish his mission," he said, adding that the Ukrainian Prosecutor General has such powers.

    "Considering international corruption in public is a way-out for President Zelensky. I am certain that he is not involved in international corruption," Derkach said.

    It was reported earlier that Derkach publicized correspondence between the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and officers of the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv. According to publicized correspondence, starting from July 14, 2017, the lists of criminal proceedings undertaken by NABU officers were sent from the electronic mailbox of Polina Chyzh, an assistant to NABU first deputy head Gizo Uglava, to the electronic mailbox of Hanna Yemelianova, a legal specialist of the anti-corruption program of the U.S. Justice Department at U.S. Embassy in Ukraine.

    Derkach also said that NABU-leak materials will be published on his Facebook account and materials that he got from investigating journalists have already been passed to Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigations and the Prosecutor's General Office.

    He also said he will initiate the creation of an ad hoc parliamentary investigative commission and has already requested launching a criminal case against Ukrainian officials into interference into U.S. elections. The court session is scheduled for October 21, he said.

    Burisma Holdings is a Cyprus-registered gas producing company holding assets in Ukraine. It is one of Ukraine's top-three independent gas producers headquartered in Kyiv. Zlochevsky is the founder and the ultimate beneficiary owner of the company.

    The US House of Representatives is still investigating the Democratic Party. They find out whether Donald Trump wanted to use Ukrainian officials to find compromise on Joe Biden, his main contender in the upcoming presidential election. At the end of the week, the focus of the investigation shifted to the substance of the allegations against Biden. The Inspector General (Auditor) of the US State Department has forwarded to the Senate and the House of Representatives two memoranda describing these allegations. The memorandums contain a retelling of Rudolf Giuliani's conversations with two heads of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office: Viktor Shokin and Yuriy Lutsenko. Earlier this year, Rudolf Giuliani transmitted these memoranda to the White House. Apparently, they were relied on by President Donald Trump in a telephone conversation with President Vladimir Zelensky. Both memorandums were available to the correspondents of theBabel Maria Zhartovskaya and Oksana Kovalenko. We briefly convey their content.

    In late January 2019, US Presidential Counsel Rudolph Giuliani spoke with two heads of the Ukrainian Attorney General's Office. He spoke with the Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin on the phone, and with the then Attorney General Yuriy Lutsenko held a personal meeting. Following the results of the telephone conversation and the meeting, two memorandums were drawn up - they mentioned the participants and summarized the content of the conversations.

    Later, Rudolf Giuliani transmitted these two memoranda to the White House, from there to Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, from him to the Attorney General of the State Department, and from him in May 2019 to the Office of the Inspector General. The Inspector General's office is an independent unit of the State Department and ensures that State Department employees do not violate the law.

    On October 2, the Inspector General transmitted these memoranda to members of the House of Representatives and the US Senate to the committees on international affairs, intelligence and others. Committees will hold hearings on the subject this week. The committee members are going to interview five US officials who oversaw Ukraine.

    Rudolf Giuliani had a telephone conversation and a meeting with Ukrainian prosecutors at the office of his consulting firm . During the conversation with Shokin, apart from Giuliani himself, there were Igor Fruman, Lev Parnassus and George Boyle, director of investigations of the firm. They also attended Rudolf Giuliani's meeting with Yuri Lutsenko. Lutsenko was also accompanied by MP of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc Gleb Zagoriy and Crimean Prosecutor Gunduz Mammadov.

    The main topic of conversation and meeting was Donald Trump's main contender in the upcoming presidential election, Joe Biden and his relationship with the Burisma Holdings

    According to Victor Shokin, he was pressured to "freeze" the investigation: first, US Ambassador Jeffrey Piett, and then President Petro Poroshenko - and they did so in the interests of Joe Biden. For his part, Yuriy Lutsenko spoke about bank payments from Burisma Holdings in favor of Hunter Biden personally and in favor of consulting firm Rosemont Seneca Bohai (RSB), in which Hunter Biden was a partner for some time. According to Yuriy Lutsenko, payments to RSB were made for the lobbying services of Joe Biden himself, not his son.

    It is important to note that neither Victor Shokin nor Yuriy Lutsenko provided direct evidence that Joe Biden or Hunter Biden did anything wrong . Victor Shokin describes Joe Biden's interests in the words of Petro Poroshenko, and in a special way interprets Jeffrey Payett's words that the investigation should be carried out with extreme care, "in white gloves." Yuriy Lutsenko told about the company's payments in favor of a member of the board of directors of the company - that is, in essence, ordinary compensation for work. The fact that the payments were made for lobbying services was Joe Biden, not his son Hunter, Lutsenko argued without giving evidence. (Later, after the Biden story hit the press, Yuriy Lutsenko repeatedly stated that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden did not violate Ukrainian laws.)
    Here are the main points of Giuliani's memorandum following the conversation with ex-prosecutor Viktor Shokin

    Participants in the conversation: US President Rudolf Giuliani's lawyer, ex-prosecutor Victor Shokin, mediators Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas. And Director of Investigation George Boyle.

    theBabel

    Shokin served as Attorney General from 2015 to April 2016, "he was fired at the request of Joseph Biden, Vice President of the United States."
    Another Deputy Prosecutor General Shokin was involved in the investigation of the case of former Minister of Ecology Mykola Zlochevsky. Zlochevsky was found to be owned by Burisma Holdings, a company incorporated in Cyprus. There were at least five criminal proceedings mentioning Zlochevsky's last name. The main thing is the illegal licensing of gas and oil.
    The investigations were conducted on the following facts: 1) money laundering; 2) obtaining assets through corruption bribe; 3) withdrawing from Ukraine about $ 23 million; 4) Zlochevsky's two companies were granted permits to develop gas fields when Zlochevsky was in power; 5) Zlochevsky hid that he was the owner of two companies.
    In 2014, Zlochevsky appointed Hunter Biden, son of Vice President Joseph Biden, to the board of directors of Burisma; Joseph Blade, a former CIA officer who worked in the anti-terrorism department; Oleksandr Kwasniewski - Former President of Poland; Devon Archer is Christopher Heinz's roommate, stepson of Secretary of State (then) John Kerry.
    The investigation was halted because Ukrainian authorities feared the United States. Shokin continued to investigate, but in June-July 2015, US Ambassador Jeffrey Piett told him that the investigation should be as accurate as possible, which, in Shokin's opinion, meant "doing nothing." Sometime in September 2015, Payett, in his speech in Odessa, stated that these cases were not properly investigated and that Shokin could be corrupt.
    In 2014, Zlochevsky was in the UK, which froze $ 23 million in a BNP bank that belonged to him. Shokin said he thawed the money through "counterfeit do ents"

    Шокін мав на увазі, що сторона Злочевського надала суду підроблені документи.
    before he became Attorney General. This made Shokin study the case. There have been several press releases stating that they tried to close the case with bribes. In April 2016, Shokin was dismissed as Attorney General. And in November 2016, the case was closed by prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko.
    In February 2016, the GPU made inquiries about many people in Ukraine. The GPU also asked about Hunter Biden, but never received any response. The GPU assumed that Hunter Biden received a salary, commissions and an additional $ 1 million.
    President Petro Poroshenko has told Shokin to stop investigating Burisma because it is not in Joe and Hunter Biden's interests. Shokin was summoned to Poroshenko's office, where he was told that because of this investigation, Joe Biden had withheld $ 1 billion in US aid to Ukraine. And in April 2016, Poroshenko summoned Shokin and stated that he should be released. According to Shokin, Biden told Poroshenko that he had evidence of Shokin's corruption. Shokin was released in April 2016, and a month and a half later, Ukraine received US assistance.
    Shokin also believes that US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Jovanovic has denied him an American visa. He claims that she is close to Biden. He also said that MP Sergei Leshchenko had
    В оригінальному документі міститься помилка: Сергій Лещенко названий Reshenko.
    published a leak from the SBU about Manafort
    Шокін має на увазі «чорну бухгалтерію» Партії регіонів. У ній згадувалося імʼя Пола Манафорта — керівника виборчої кампанії Дональда Трампа у 2016 році.

    Here are the main points of the Giuliani memorandum following a meeting with then Attorney General Yuriy Lutsenko

    Participants in the meeting: US President's lawyer Rudolf Giuliani, ex-prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko, mediators Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas. Also, Director of Investigation George Boyle, BPP MP Gleb Zagoriy, Crimean Prosecutor Gunduz Mammadov.

    theBabel

    The meeting took place on January 25 and 26, 2019. Lutsenko spoke about corruption in Ukraine. He was accompanied by Gleb Zagoriy, Gunduz Mammadov, Lev Parnassus and Igor Fruman. Also present were Rudolf Giuliani and George Boyle.
    From 2007 to 2010, Lutsenko headed the Interior Ministry, he was imprisoned for two and a half years - and this was a political persecution. The GPU oversees the affairs of the National Police, the State Fiscal Service, the SBU, and can investigate cases.
    The Prosecutor General's Office returned several billion dollars to the budget of Ukraine and received 2,657 court sentences in corruption cases. There is a Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAA) in Ukraine, which oversees the affairs of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU). NABU is investigating corruption of "public figures" - from mayors and above.
    Acting US Ambassador Jeffrey Piett defends the SAP and NABU. These are good organizations, but they have terrible leaders. The SAP and NABU are under the control of the GPU purely formally, and Lutsenko has no right to ask what they are working on.
    Former Attorney General of Ukraine Viktor Shokin is an honest man.
    Lutsenko studied the criminal cases that Shokin spoke of and which featured Burisma Holdings. Hunter Biden received millions of dollars of compensation from her. According to Lutsenko, of these, 900,000 Rosemont Seneca received Joe Biden for lobbying services.
    US Ambassador to Ukraine Jeffrey Piett recommended that a special body be set up to investigate the cases of top corruption officials. On September 25, 2015, he criticized the GPU at a business forum in Odessa. The NABU concept was developed by George Kent - the then Deputy US Ambassador, the current Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. Tentatively, the SAP and NABU were formed in October 2014.
    In 2010, a system of 500 companies was created to withdraw money from Ukraine, launder it and transfer it to beneficiary accounts. All these companies were headed by one CFO. 20-40 of these companies were figureheads. 23 companies were registered offshore. Two of them received seven billion dollars and placed them in the US investment fund Templeton Fund. Some of the money that went through this system was returned

    found a "black bookkeeping" of the Party of Regions with a list of people who received payments, a total of 10-12 sheets of records. Lutsenko gave an example of payment - three million dollars for voting for the draft state budget of the deputy of the Ukrainian parliament.
    Paul Manafort's name is included in the "black accounting", said BPP People's Deputy Sergei Leshchenko. Leshchenko spoke closely with US Ambassador Marie Jovanovich. A few weeks after the "black bookkeeping" was made public, NABU began its investigation.
    In the first week of her work, Attorney General Lutsenko met with US Ambassador Marie Jovanovic, and she asked him to close three criminal proceedings, including those against Leshchenko.
    The head of NABU confirmed that Manafort's name is in the "black bookkeeping", but he does not have a signature in the column where he was supposed to sign. Black bookkeeping lists a bank transfer from Kyrgyzstan named after Manafort. NABU confirmed to the press that Manafort's name was mentioned in the "black accounting".
    Sap chairman Nazar Kholodnitsky and NABU chairman Artem Sytnyk do not like each other. During an anti-corruption seminar in Panama, Kholodnitsky asked Sytnyk why he believed that the Party of Regions' black bookkeeping did not have Manafort's signature. Sytnik replied that he wants Hillary [Clinton] to win.
