    Startling timeline outlines Devin Nunes’ shady campaign to dig up dirt on Biden

    A
    new timeline created by Ryan Goodman and Viola Gienger of Just Security shows that

    the California congressman appears to have been a central figure in the whole plot,

    as he started meeting with Giuliani henchman Lev Parnas in late 2018.

    Giuliani did exactly what he accused the Bidens of doing —

    and Americans ‘cringe’ at the corruption



    former Justice Department prosecutor Joesph Moreno discussed the
    latest revelations about Rudy Giuliani’s networking in Ukraine

    “Wasn’t Giuliani doing what he accused the Bidens of doing?” asked Cabrera. “Shaking down the Ukrainians for personal profit?”

    “Exactly,” said Moreno.

    “It’s the same swampy, pay-to-play behavior most Americans cringe at when they see it,

    regardless of who is accused of it.

    The idea that you’re leveraging one relationship with a high-ranking official of the U.S. government

    in order to benefit either yourself or other clients in a way,

    it’s the kind of thing that while it might approach the line of legality and be terrible optics, terrible ethics and

    the thing folks hate to see from insiders in Washington.”

    That's how totally corrupt DC works, has worked for decades.

    Nothing happens in DC unless somebody gets paid.

    'I Don’t Trust Anyone at All.'

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Speaks Out on Trump, Putin and a Divided Europe

    the President explained that, despite getting caught up in the
    impeachment inquiry now unfolding in Washington, D.C.,

    Ukraine still needs the support of the United States.

    Otherwise his country does not stand much of a chance, Zelensky said, in its effort to get back the territory Russia seized from Ukraine in 2014, starting with the Crimean Peninsula.

    Nor can Ukraine rely on steady financial support from abroad if President Donald Trump and his allies continue to signal to the world that Ukraine is corrupt, Zelensky said.

    “When America says, for instance, that Ukraine is a corrupt country, that is the hardest of signals.”

    iPad,
    2 iPhones,
    cell phone.

    Then 8 more from his house:

    3 more iPhones,
    Samsung galaxy phone,
    iMac, and
    iPad (no phone in court, may have missed 1),”

    Phone logs in impeachment report renew concern about security of Trump communications

    no indication that those calls were encrypted or otherwise shielded from foreign surveillance.

    The revelations raise the possibility that Moscow was able to learn about aspects of Trump’s attempt to get Ukraine to investigate a political rival months before that effort was exposed by a whistleblower report and the impeachment inquiry

    dministration officials said separately that Trump has communicated regularly with Giuliani on unsecured lines.

    “It happened all the time,”

    the president continues to defy the security guidance urged by his aides and followed by previous in bents —

    a stance that is particularly remarkable given

    Trump’s attacks on Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential campaign for her use of a private email account
    while serving as secretary of state.

    Trump and Giuliani have effectively “given the Russians ammunition they can use in an overt fashion, a covert fashion or in the twisting of information,”

    so likely that Russia tracked the calls of Giuliani and others that the Kremlin probably knows more now about those conversations than impeachment investigators.

    “I guarantee the Russians have the actual information.”

    Giuliani would have been considered a target of Russian intelligence efforts from early in Trump’s presidency and that it is assumed that the Kremlin intensified its surveillance of the president’s lawyer when he turned his focus to Ukraine

    Will Repugs go after a corrupt Bush son?

    George P. Bush failed to disclose financial interests in nearly a dozen companies

    After the Texas Ethics Commission received a sworn complaint about the omissions, Bush told The Texas Tribune last week that

    he took immediate steps to correct his disclosure forms.

    Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush failed to disclose his ties to at least 11 companies, including a Cayman Islands-based oil and gas firm that did business with a state fund he helps oversee

    State politicians must provide details of their personal finances, including business dealings and corporate board service, every year to the

    Texas Ethics Commissions

    Bush ... he looked into the matter,

    learned of a 2017 opinion that better clarified what business interests must be revealed

    Giuliani has gone full Roy Cohn, basically rat ing for his client in public and insisting there's nothing wrong with it.

    Roy Cohn ended up disbarred and a bunch of his clients went to jail.

    I'm sure Rudy G. knows that, I guess he just has to play out his ball of string at this point.

    I have little doubt that Rudy will end up in jail.

    At some point, Trump will no longer be in office.

    The incompetent, corrupt people he has working for him will be out of power, and all the do ents and communication that are being kept secret will be gleefully leaked by the Democratic nominees that will replace them.

    The shielding and protecting will stop, and we will all get a chance to look behind the curtain at the piles that these people are leaving in their areas.

    Assuming that Trump doesn't get re-elected, the next four years will see a steady drum beat of corruption stories in a steady drip drip drip.

    Repugs were "informed" by Pootin that his cyberarmy was ing the election (a crime) and the Repugs not only refused to report the crime to FBI, but

    "Russia, if you are listening..."

    and

    "I love it" dirt on Hillary

    and

    Manafort/Jared giving their demographic data to Russia

    And Pootin expected Trash to return the favor, eg, (Flynn channel) removing Obama's very painful financial sanctions.

    Conspiracies are hard to prove in court, this one is no exception.

    It's not a super strong case, IMHO, whereas obstruction of justice would pretty much be a slam dunk, were it ever criminally referred.

    Why overreach?
