Eric Trump profiteert samen met zijn broer Donald Trump Jr van de buitenlandse gasten en GOP senatoren die een kamer in Trump Hotel boeken om in een gunstig daglicht te komen bij hun vader de President Donald John Trump.
Ondertussen Hunter Biden te beschuldigen dat hij werkte toen zijn vader Vice President werd.

Trump schijt in zijn broek voor Joe Biden en weet wanneer hij tegen Joe Biden om het Presidents schap moet strijden hij geen schijn van kans maakt.

Lev Parnas pointed his finger at Dmytro Firtash.

Langzaam komen we bij de wereld top van de Transnational Crime Organization.

According to Parnas, Giuliani’s team had a deal with Firtash. Giuliani would get the Justice Department to drop its attempt to extradite the oligarch, to the US, on bribery charges.
In return, according to Parnas, the oligarch promised to pass along evidence that would supposedly discredit both Joe Biden and Robert Mueller.

When commentators invoke the name Dmytro Firtash, it is usually followed by mention of his alleged connections to Russian organized crime and the fact that he is close to the Kremlin.
These descriptions, however, understate his ties to Vladimir Putin.

A Ukrainian parliamentarian who investigated Firtash has called him “a political person representing Russian interests in Ukraine.”
That representative of Russian interests is who Giuliani and Parnas apparently enlisted as their partner.

Dmytro Firtash band met Putin en boss of the bosses worldwide Semyon Mogilevitch

The rapid ascent of Firtash, a fireman from western Ukraine, remains mysterious

Firtash attached himself to the gangster Semion Mogilevich, one of the region’s most important Mafia bosses, a man the FBI placed on its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. (His lawyers vociferously deny any connections to gangsters.)

When Putin ascended to power in 2000, he gained control of his country’s natural-gas business.

He placed his allies at the helm of the country’s gas monopoly, Gazprom, and he has routinely wielded that company as an instrument of Russian foreign policy.
In 2002, Firtash became Gazprom’s most important middleman: He was responsible for selling Russian gas to Ukraine.

Gazprom sold Firtash gas at four times below the market price.
When Firtash resold the gas to the Ukrainian state, he pocketed a profit of $3 billion.
Even as he amassed this fortune, bankers close to Putin extended Firtash an $11 billion line of credit.

According to close watchers of Gazprom, a chunk of this cash cycled back to Moscow in the form of kickbacks.

Another chunk of this money was spent bankrolling Russian political influence in Ukraine.

Firtash was one of the two primary patrons of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych( een lakei van Putin) and his political party. (He also bought a television network for the sake of promoting the cause.)
This meant that Firtash was also writing the checks that covered the cost of Paul Manafort’s services to Yanukovych.

It’s worth pausing to marvel at the narrative symmetry of this scandal: Both Manafort and Parnas shared the same Russian-aligned paymaster.

In 2014, just after a revolution (Maydan Revolution) chased Yanukovych from power, the FBI issued an arrest warrant for Firtash.
Austrian authorities detained Firtash near his Vienna mansion.
The indictment alleged that he had bribed Indian officials on behalf of Boeing, which desperately wanted to acquire rare materials (titanium) for the construction of its 787 Dreamliner. (McKinsey & Company, the now-vilified consulting firm, apparently vetted Boeing’s decision to work with Firtash and didn’t recommend against it.

When Firtash needed someone to pay his bail (borgtocht)—which the Austrians set at $155 million, the highest in the nation’s history—the oligarch Vasily Anisimov, a member of Putin’s inner circle, supplied the cash.

Over the past five years, Firtash has successfully battled the Justice Department’s attempts to extradite him to the US.
He’s hired an army of American lawyers, lobbyists, and consultants, including the notorious Jack Abramoff and the longtime Bill and Hillary Clinton friend Lanny Davis (die ook de advocaat is van Michael Cohen), as well as the Donald Trump–supporting lawyers Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing.
His spokesman is Mark Corallo, who worked for Trump’s legal team during the Mueller investigation.

is it possible that Trump's plot against biden began with firtash?

Firtash has long seethed (erg boos ) at Joe Biden.
As vice president, Biden vigorously promoted an anti-corruption agenda that included liberating Ukraine’s energy sector from Firtash’s dominance.

In fact, when Biden visited Kyiv in 2015 and spoke before Parliament, he seemed to praise the Ukrainian government for “closing the space for corrupt middlemen who rip off the Ukrainian people.”

Firtash raged against this speech.
He described Biden as an “overlord.”
He said, “I was ashamed to look at this. I was repulsed.” If Firtash promised Parnas material that could be used against Biden, he was fulfilling a long-held grudge( wrok).

Most narratives of the plot against Biden allege that corrupt Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin concocted the whole scenario out of a desire for vengeance.
Biden, after all, had demanded that the Ukrainian president fire Shokin, whose office was a bastion of corruption. (Oligarchs notoriously pay handsomely for the allegiance of prosecutors, who bring cases against their enemies.)

Over time, it has become clear that Shokin and Firtash are allies. In September 2018, at the request of Firtash’s lawyers, Shokin filed an affidavit in Austrian court testifying to the oligarch’s innocence.
How long have Shokin and Firtash been allies?
Were they working together when the plot against Biden first germinated?

what happened at naftogaz?
Parnas and Igor Fruman hoped to obtain a contract to export American natural gas to Ukraine.
As part of this scheme, they seem to have launched a campaign to remove the leadership of the Ukrainian national company, Naftogaz, and to install managers more favorably inclined to their bid.
Given the complexities of putting together a bid, it’s puzzling that they would have focused so heavily on Naftogaz, especially since other details of the plan were so distant from realization.

what did giuliani do on firtash’s behalf?

Giuliani has consistently sought to minimize his ties to Firtash.

But over time, he’s conceded that he spoke with the oligarch’s lawyers in Chicago and that he met with his proxies in Europe.
Did Giuliani press Firtash’s case at the Justice Department?
That is, did he fulfill the quid pro quo that Parnas alleged this week?
Did he attempt to help Firtash avoid American justice in exchange for material on Biden?

In October, The New York Times reported that Giuliani had met with officials in the Justice Department to discuss the case of a foreigner accused of bribery.

Giuliani wouldn’t name his client, whom he described as “very, very sensitive.”

Parnas told Rachel Maddow that he overheard Giuliani discussing his Ukrainian operation with Attorney General William Barr.

If they in fact took place, did those discussions ever include the subject of Dmytro Firtash?

what did the russians know?

Given Firtash’s past involvement with the Kremlin—given that the Russian state supplied him with his fortune, given that he did its political bidding in the past, given that a Putin insider loaned him the money for his bail—

it seems fair to ask: Did he keep the Russians in the loop about his involvement with Parnas and Giuliani?
Did he ever seek to enlist their help?
These are admittedly speculative questions, but the oligarch’s background demands their consideration.

Dmytro Firtash’s work in Ukraine undermined that nation’s democracy.
He spent hundreds of millions of dollars entrenching the forces of kleptocracy.
His machinations kept the country locked in Russia’s orbit.
That he may have been involved in spreading disinformation about Biden for the sake of avoiding extradition is the most important allegation from Lev Parnas’s trail of cable-news interviews.

It suggests that he may have attempted to reprise his past work on American soil, and maybe even succeeded.

Trial Memorandum voorafgaand aan het Impeachment Trial in de Senaat

The House of Representatives has delivered an 111-page trial memorandum laying out the case to remove Trump immediately.

pbs.twimg.com/media/EOmV8NmWAAIjsH_?f...

Twitterdraadje Eric Garland met commentaar op enkele onderdelen van de impeachment trial
(met copien van de tekst)
twitter.com/ericgarland/status/121867...

I hope that this document can, eventually, after no doubt much effort, be seen as nonpartisan.

The case to impeach Trump has zero "liberalism" in it.
This memorandum lays out laws, Constitutional principles, facts, and the inescapable conclusion: Convict.

None of the Memorandum is about Trump's racism.
Nothing about his immigration policy.
His treatment of women is not mentioned.
It doesn't contradict any GOP principles.

Trump simply committed acts that jeopardize democracy and our national security, and must be removed.

all the facts that support this argument came entirely from our Federal government, all from witnesses who testified publicly or in closed session with the majority and minority represented.

There is no classified intel; this isn't the Deep State.

Let's look at the argument for impeachment. It's simple and inescapable.

The Constitution makes clear a president can't solicit anything from foreign powers for his personal gain, especially not to win an election.

Trump did. So he should be removed.

There's the story of pressuring Ukraine's new president which many know.
Making matters worse, Trump engaged in a corrupt scheme alongside agents of the Russian Mafiya to sabotage America's own State Department.

This is impeachable on its face.

Trump traded U.S. interests and national security in exchange for a foreign power's attack on an upcoming election.

Closing in, the Memorandum argues that America cannot have a free, fair election while Trump remains President.

Basically, Trump is still insisting that Russian intelligence interfere in our democracy, and so he must be removed.

This isn't a hard argument to support when Trump, Mulvaney, and Sondland have declared publicly that they intend for foreigners to attack U.S. democracy.

So. Not much room for denial, to put it lightly.

Trump's own statements also highlight why impeachment is the only option - his actions put the legitimacy of future elections at risk, so he must be removed immediately.

Republicans should embrace this argument because, the fact is, allowing Trump to continue without consequences could render their future elections illegitimate as well.

This is simply about American national security.

And there's your impeachment. Trump is a danger to us all. He cannot keep the office of President.

Simple, tragic, elegant as far as arguments go.

The Republicans' only "defense" against this impeachment is to debase the process and stain the offices to which they were elected. They have already started.

That will be a shame. History will record what everyone does at this moment.

Donald J Trump@realDonaldTrump

A massive 200 Billion Dollar Sea Wall, built around New York to protect it from rare storms, is a costly, foolish & environmentally unfriendly idea that, when needed, probably won’t work anyway. It will also look terrible. Sorry, you’ll just have to get your mops & buckets ready!

twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/12...

Maar wel een bouwaanvraag voor een muur rond een Iers Trump Golf Resort, vanwege zeewater stijging op basis van wetenschappelijke rapporten. De muur is in 2017 gebouwd.

As Politico detailed during the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump International Golf Links sought to build a seawall to protect a golf course he owns in Ireland from “global warming and its effects.”

In a permit application for the wall, Trump International Golf Links cited scientific studies indicating that a rise in sea level could result in damaging erosion in a bay near the golf course.

If the predictions of an increase in sea level rise as a result of global warming prove correct ... it is likely that there will be a corresponding increase in coastal erosion rates not just in Doughmore Bay but around much of the coastline of Ireland,” the application says. “In our view, it could reasonably be expected that the rate of sea level rise might become twice of that presently occurring. ... As a result, we would expect the rate of dune recession to increase.”

As Politico details, Trump’s company even tried to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change in a brochure distributed to people living in the area around the course.

Trump’s company has warned not only the county council of the perils of climate change, but also local residents. An appendix to TIGL’s planning application includes a scan of a brochure that the company has distributed to residents to make the case for building the proposed coastal protection works. The heading of one page — emblazoned with a “Trump Doonbeg” logo — is “Need for Coastal Protection.” The page lists four bullet points, the last of which is, “Predicted sea level rise and more frequent storm events will increase the rate of erosion throughout the 21st century.”

Trump’s company received approval to build the wall late last year(2017).

Trump plans to meet with the President of Iraq at the Davos Economic Forum

US President Donald Trump plans to negotiate with Iraqi President Barham Saleh at the World Economic Forum (WEF), which will be held January 21-24 in Davos.

Consultations are currently being held on the details of the agenda of the meeting of the heads of the two states. The White House is optimistic about the possibility of holding such negotiations. As expected, the American leader will meet at the WEF and with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The actions of the Americans, having been attacking Shiite groups in Iraq since December 29, have criticized the Iraqi authorities. On January 5, the parliament of the Arab country adopted a resolution demanding the complete withdrawal of all foreign troops. Trump refused to do so, threatening Baghdad with “unprecedented sanctions.”
