When are you Trump morons going to stop believing anything this evil assbag claims? He still lies more then he tells the truth.

Why was Trump doing this? Gold trader Reza Zarrab had a connection to the President of Turkey, Erdogan. If you get on the White House grounds and turn over any rock you will find corruption under it.

This is a new big, brewing scandal. Maddow is very thorough on this tonight. Explains all the various odd connections with Turkey, reminding us that Michael Flynn was acting as an undeclared foreign agent for Turkey during much of the campaign and transition.

And also reminding us that Tillerson said in a taped interview after being fired that one or more times he had tell to Trump no, I can't do this because it's illegal.

Senate is going to have to impeach. Hehehehe Reminds me of the stupid practice of rubbing a dog's nose in his own urine. But then dogs are so much more noble than the Republican Senate.

I think the reason why Trump thought they Ukraine phone call was ‘perfect’ is because he’s been doing similarly corrupt things for years.

I bet there are dozens and dozens of interactions where he’s doing similarly corrupt things.

Curious to know just how a sanctions evading Turkish-Iranian gold traders became a legal client of one Rudy Giuliani.

He's copied Manafort's business model.

The question is not now if to impeach but on how many charges. Seems like the number will escalate.

Two Foreign-Born Men Who Helped Giuliani on Ukraine Arrested on Campaign-Finance Charges

https://www.wsj.com/articles/two-fo...ested-on-campaign-finance-charges-11570714188

Two foreign-born donors to a pro- Trump fundraising committee who helped Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to investigate Democrat Joe Biden were arrested late Wednesday on criminal charges of violating campaign finance rules and are expected to appear in court on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, two Florida businessmen, have been under investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, and are expected to appear in federal court in Virginia later on Thursday, the people said. The men’s nationalities was unclear, though both were believed to have been born in former Soviet republics.

Mr. Giuliani, President Trump’s private lawyer, identified the two men in May as his clients. Both men have donated to Republican campaigns including Mr. Trump’s, and in May 2018 gave $325,000 to the primary pro-Trump super PAC, America First Action, through an LLC called Global Energy Producers, according to Federal Election Commission records.



Messrs. Parnas and Fruman had a dinner with the president in early May 2018, according to since-deleted Facebook posts captured in a report published by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. They also met with the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr. , later that month at a fundraising breakfast in Beverly Hills, Calif., along with Tommy Hicks Jr. , a close friend of the younger Mr. Trump who at the time was heading America First Action. Mr. Parnas posted a photo of their breakfast four days after his LLC donated to the super PAC.

Since late 2018, Mr. Fruman and Mr. Parnas have introduced Mr. Giuliani to several current and former senior Ukrainian prosecutors to discuss the Biden case.

I'm just wondering at some point whether the impeachment inquiry and congress will just say, "you know what, we don't need the confidential documents because this administration looks as guilty as hell even without them".
