“Take Her Out”: Donald Trump’s Role in the Ukraine Scheme Is Reportedly Caught on Tape https://t.co/x55ytNbBVG via @NewYorker

The story says this recording of Trump & Lev Parnas (who he’s repeatedly said he doesn’t know) talking about taking out Yovanovitch was made by Igor Fruman. Unless it was somehow in Parnas’ cache of materials, this could imply Fruman is also cooperating. https://t.co/S0aBxCyrxx

— Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) January 24, 2020

Even setting everything else aside, the idea that a grifting lowlife like Parnas can get this close to the president and use a self-serving lie to get him to take an official action ought to alarm every American. How many other times has this happened? https://t.co/1WmvWekWfg

Don't get distracted by Trump's mob-speak about Yovanovich. He's not trying to murder her. Don't miss the actual point: that Parnas has tapes and Trump is caught in the headlights of a *massive* lie on which the pretense of his defense rests. Hammer the GOP Senators with it.

— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) January 24, 2020

A few thoughts on part 1 of the Parnas interview.
– Parnas is almost certainly trying to launder his rep, get out of trouble, and thus not completely reliable, but this is too much to be made up of whole cloth.
– Of course everyone in the WH knew, because Trump *can't shut up*

This Parnas interview is incredibly damning.

But, then, it’s *all* been incredibly damning.

The problem here is not a lack of damning testimony, some of it from President Trump himself. It’s a lack of Republican senators who care about the country enough to do the right thing.

The median American is about 38 years old. She has seen:
– 13 years that were, at the time, the hottest year on record.
– 27 years that were then among the 5 hottest on record.
– 35 years that were then among the 10 hottest on record.

Russian state TV has no idea what's going on. After initially ignoring Medvedev's resignation, they are now reporting it–by replaying Putin & Medvedev's statement, with no further commentary. Then it's back to the rosy promises Putin made in his speech earlier pic.twitter.com/tItno2Do7I

This lip service to the rule of law also gives free world leaders a feeble excuse not to treat Putin like the brutal dictator he is. To do pipeline business, launder his oligarchs' money, etc. It shows how much such approval & access matters to both sides.

Pelosi has handled the optics of impeachment well, right up until that signing ceremony, which was awkward. Handing out pens should have been done in private. This was not some celebratory moment.

Yovanovich, who Trump once told the Ukranian president would "go through some things," appears to have been under surveillance by Giuliani associates, per evidence turned over to the House https://t.co/uxv45P80yW
