President Donald Trump's urging of Ukraine's President to investigate political rivals coincided with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban pushing a disparaging view of the country to Trump, The Washington Post reported on Monday.
Citing current and former US officials, the Post reported that Putin and Orban did not explicitly name Ukraine as a potential source of dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden or mentioned the country's potential role in the 2016 US presidential election. However, the two leaders characterized Ukraine as corrupt and reinforced Trump's views of the country.
George Kent, the deputy assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, described Putin and Orban's influence during closed-door testimony to House investigators last week, US officials told the Post. Kent pointed to their efforts as a factor in turning Trump against Ukraine in the months leading up to his controversial call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that prompted a whistleblower complaint and impeachment inquiry, the Post reported.

Taylor's testimony bolsters a whistleblower report and a transcript of Trump's notorious July 25 call with Ukraine's President that shows he asked for a "favor" in return for badly needed aid as Ukraine fights Russia.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/23/politics/donald-trump-impeachment-ukraine-testimony/index.html
(CNN)During a joint press conference Wednesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, President Donald Trump took a shot at former President Barack Obama, claiming that while the Trump administration provided Ukraine with "anti-tank busters," Obama simply sent "pillows and sheets."
Facts First: Trump is being hyperbolic here. While the Obama administration was criticized for its refusal to provide lethal assistance to Ukraine, it did provide more than $100 million in security assistance, as well as a significant amount of defense and military equipment.
By March 2015, the US had committed more than $120 million in security assistance for Ukraine and had pledged an additional $75 million worth of equipment including UAVs, counter-mortar radars, night vision devices and medical supplies, according to the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
That assistance also included some 230 armored Humvee vehicles.
Trump appears to be echoing a critique leveled at the Obama administration by the late Republican Sen. John McCain. "The Ukrainians are being slaughtered and we're sending blankets and meals," McCain said in 2015. "Blankets don't do well against Russian tanks."
While it never provided lethal aid, many of the items that the Obama administration did provide were seen as critical to Ukraine's military. Part of the $250 million assistance package that the Trump administration announced (then froze and later unfroze) included many of the same items that were provided under Obama, including medical equipment, night vision gear and counter-artillery radar.
The Trump administration did approve the provision of arms to Ukraine, including sniper rifles, rocket launchers and Javelin anti-tank missiles, something long sought by Kiev.

ya think? gee who would these fake accounts be wanting to win again. we know if they were to hurt the right wing the justice department would do something.
Facebook is blocking a million accounts a day to protect the election: Sandberg
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sheryl-sandberg-facebook-blocking-million-accounts-a-day-to-protect-election-153031702.html
F | Quote: | acebook (FB) is removing vast numbers of fake accounts to protect against misinformation and to safeguard the upcoming presidential election, according to Sheryl Sandberg the company’s COO.
“We're very focused on taking down fake accounts,” Sandberg told me in an interview this week. “We now take down over a million a day — blocked before anyone can see them — because of all the things that went wrong last time [during the 2016 presidential election] under fake accounts.”
Executives at Facebook know their company will be under a microscope this election season because its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, were manipulated by domestic and foreign actors including Russians attempting to influence the 2016 election. It’s unclear what effect fake accounts and misinformation had on the election’s outcome. Initially CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that believing misinformation on Facebook influenced the election was “a pretty crazy idea,” but he later backtracked that point.
In any event Facebook doesn’t want to be seen as influencing results one way or another.
Since 2016, the company has implemented numerous programs and hired thousands of people to fight false information. Though some critics like Senator Mike Bennet (D-CO) say the company is still ill-prepared.
“Election integrity has been a huge, high, hugely high priority for us since 2016,” Sandberg said to me. “In 2016, we missed coordinated inauthentic behavior on our platforms. We didn't know what it was. But now we do. And we've been working hard at it.” |

DOJ plans to appeal ruling over secret Mueller grand jury details to Supreme Court
| Quote: | The Justice Department announced its intention to appeal to the Supreme Court in an effort to block secretive grand jury materials from special counsel Robert Mueller’s report from being handed over to the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee.

DOJ lawyers made their intentions clear in a Friday legal filing in which they asked the D.C. appeals court to stay a court order to deliver those materials to Congress by May 1 while the Trump administration lawyers ready their writ of certiorari in hopes that the highest court in the land takes up the case and sides with them. The Justice Department said the congressional committee opposed the motion.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled in a 2-1 vote in March to uphold U.S. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell’s October 2019 ruling that House investigators should be given access to the grand jury material redacted within and underlying Mueller’s report on Russian election interference. |

and another example of russia loves trump

Biden Leaked Ukraine Calls Were Released by Russia: Ex-President
| Quote: | Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has claimed Russia is behind leaked recordings of him allegedly speaking with former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now the subject of a Senate probe regarding his son Hunter's business activities in Ukraine during Biden's time in office.
The edited recordings appear to be of Biden and Poroshenko speaking to each other, and were leaked by Andrii Derkach—a Ukrainian associate of President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
Last year, it was revealed that Giuliani was heading the president's efforts to pressure the Ukrainian government into investigating Biden, ultimately leading to Trump's impeachment.
In the conversations, Biden reportedly demands that Poroshenko fire former general prosecutor Viktor Shokin or miss out on $1 billion in aid. The two men then apparently discuss Shokin's successor, Yuriy Lutsenko.
Poroshenko said Wednesday on Facebook that the audio was "fabricated" and claimed the leak was the work of the "fifth column of the Kremlin," which he said "has launched a full-fledged special operation against Ukraine. By means of pulling Ukraine into the electoral struggle in the U.S. they are trying to undermine the U.S. bipartisan support of Ukraine."
Derkach, who leaked the Biden recordings, said he received the tapes from investigative journalists and that they were created by Poroshenko. Derkach met with Giuliani in Kyiv in 2019 while the latter was gathering evidence to support Trump during the president's impeachment probe.
Derkach is a former lawmaker for the Ukrainian Party of Regions, a pro-Moscow party once headed by President Viktor Yanukovych, who was forced from power in the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution in 2014. Derkach also attended a KGB-run school in Moscow and his father was a former KGB officer who rose to become the head of Ukraine's intelligence service.
Current Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy—who was caught up in Trump's impeachment scandal—said Wednesday that the leaked recordings would be investigated, and that the apparent conversations could be "perceived, qualified as treason."
Ilya Novikov, one of Poroshenko's lawyers, denied any suggestion of treason on Wednesday, explaining: "The same negotiations with the same content have taken place over these last years, and the last year under President Zelenskiy is no exception."

A Biden spokesperson told The Washington Post that the tapes were "heavily edited...and it's still a nothingburger that landed with a thud."
Shokin was widely reported to be corrupt and western governments, including President Barack Obama's administration, publicly pushed for his dismissal. In 2018, Biden told a conference that he had pushed for Shokin to be removed, even noting he had given the Ukrainians a six-hour ultimatum to do so.
But Trump and his allies have accused Biden of pushing to get rid of Shokin so as to end an investigation into the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which at the time employed his son Hunter as a board member.
On Wednesday, the Republican-controlled Senate Homeland Security Committee approved a subpoena compelling documents and testimony from Blue Star Strategies, a consulting firm that worked with Burisma when Hunter sat on its board. |
