I think the answer will depend in part on foreign national-1. This is related more to the Rudy helping to get board members changed/contracts with Ukrainian natural gas company.
"House committees have also requested documents and depositions from two of Giuliani’s current clients, Florida-based business executives who have been pursuing opportunities in Ukraine for a new liquefied-natural-gas venture.
The men, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, have been assisting Giuliani’s push to get Ukrainian officials to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son, as well as Giuliani’s claim that Democrats conspired with Ukrainians in the 2016 campaign."
It’s semi-related to Trump-Biden scandal, because everyone wanted the Ukrainian ambassador out and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were helping Giuliani, and she was eventually fired by Trump. I don’t think the henchmen were directly working for Trump, although their lawyer has claimed they were. So, I think this more of a grift thing than a pro or anti Russia thing. Rudy Giuliani Sent Trump On A Wild Goose Chase With A Bunch Of Fake Internet Nonsense
Kenneth McCallion, an ex-federal prosecutor who has represented former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko in U.S. court, said
Trump has either authorized Giuliani to engage in private diplomacy and deal-making, or even worse, remains silent while Giuliani and his dodgy band of soldiers of fortune engage in activities that severely undermine U.S. credibility and are contrary to fundamental U.S. interests
The article goes on to talk a bit about Shokin, the prosecutor who national officials, including Biden, were pushing to be ousted for refusing to investigate corruption. My takeaway was that Shokin is the Ukrainian equivalent of Barr.
[Shokin] was dismissed because of a lack of willingness to investigate this particular case as well as other important cases involving high-level associates of [ousted former President Viktor] Yanukovych
Dude there are thousands of voting machines made by like fifty different vendors. And they aren’t everywhere. Please explain to me the logistics of actually stealing an election that is in fact a massive landslide… without it being too obvious and everyone knowing about it ten minutes after you did it.
Obviously you wouldn’t try to exploit thousands of machines by different vendors. That is all just a huge red herring. The great feature of those machines is that they cannot be audited with paper ballot checks later. The thing you hack is the central tabulator.
How are you going to explain that ONLY the electronic machines are showing a massive win for Trump but literally every other type of voting is showing a massive loss?
Their response to this will be PROVE that the machines are rigged and, of course, you won’t be able to because there’s no way to audit those machines.
That is my take as well. The foreign policy is incidental to the participants latching on to whatever agenda would provide them with wealth and influence. Grifters latch on to Trump’s conspiracy theories because they make him such an easy rube, not because they believe any of it.
The cover letter for the House subpoena has a pretty good summary of the role of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Remember, their lawyer Dowd has claimed they are covered by Rudy’s attorney-cleint privilege with Trump, which will be, um, difficult to establish in light of recent developments.
Your daily reminder on why Facebook is both horrible and dangerous and why everyone should question their utilization everytime they use Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, that3dtjingamagig etc etc
Per my racist Trumpkin co-worker, leaving Kurds to be slaughtered is good because we shouldnt be there anyway, and the naked corruption is fine because everyone does it.
