Impeachment Boomerang: Contacts exposed between US embassy, Hunter Biden-connected Ukraine firm
Ambassador’s impeachment testimony omitted mention of Burisma meetings, letters.

During President Trump’s impeachment, former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch testified to Congress that she knew little beyond an initial briefing and “press reports” about Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas firm that had hired Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter and was dogged by a corruption investigation.
“It just wasn’t a big deal,” she declared under oath on Oct. 11, 2019.
But newly unearthed State Department memos obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show Yovanovitch’s embassy in Kiev, including the ambassador herself, was engaged in several discussions and meetings about Burisma as the gas firm scrambled during the 2016 election and transition to settle a long-running corruption investigation and polish its image before President Trump took office.
Yovanovitch, for instance, was specifically warned in an email by her top deputy in September 2016 — three years before her testimony — that Burisma had hired an American firm with deep Democratic connections called Blue Star Strategies to “rehabilitate the reputation” of the Ukrainian gas firm and that it had placed “Hunter Biden on its board,” the memos show.
She also met directly with a representative for Burisma in her embassy office, less than 45 days before Trump took office, a contact she did not mention during her impeachment deposition.
The discussions about Burisma inside Yovanovitch’s embassy were so extensive, in fact, that they filled more than 160 pages of emails, memos and correspondence in fall 2016 alone, according to the State Department records obtained under FOIA by the conservative group Citizens United.

When the so-called “rich guys” speak negatively about the market, you must always remember that some are betting big against it, and make a lot of money if it goes down. Then they go positive, get big publicity, and make it going up. They get you both ways. Barely legal?
Dad mustered out at Atterbury which is in same county as birth place of our VP. Next county up.
As I have said for a long time, dealing with China is a very expensive thing to do. We just made a great Trade Deal, the ink was barely dry, and the World was hit by the Plague from China. 100 Trade Deals wouldn’t make up the difference - and all those innocent lives lost!

I would note that Manafort was first struck down by fruit from the poison tree.
I would like to see some sort of redemption for him, whether it comes in the form of a pardon or commutation. Perhaps, the DOJ had a hand in his home confinement, and this gesture of mercy is the best break he's going to get, owing to some past malfeasance on his part?

Right now it looks like Republicans won 3 races in California tonight, #CA25, SD 28, and AD38. Two of them will flip from D to R.
Great memes. This one is too funny.
You have to buy the best strawberries at the stands right at the strawberry fields the ones shipped to the grocery stores are not the same!! I live very close to a HUGE strawberry farm so I get mine at the stand there!!
Hubby just came in from tilling the garden. He'll be planting purple beans, corn seeds , etc. before long.
Yes, it looks good so far. But remember, they are still “counting votes” in CA25. Hopefully Garcia has such a big lead they can’t steal it.
At this point, the Dims know how many votes they need to find in trunks & warehouses.

These a large but not huge Five cut in pieces filled a cup. They are so sweet, sugar is not needed and have strong strawberry smell and taste.
She only picks a few quarts for each of several markets. But also has an eoverbearing patch that are almost as good. I’ve just planted 20 of the everbearer. They are blooming. Can’t remember if you must snip the berries off the first crop or not. Plants are healthy and growing rapidly so right now I’m going to let them do their thing.
You live in Oxnard?
OUTSTANDING choices! Thank YOU!
Me- having leftovers for breakfast from last night’s dinner. There isn’t any of the Philly cheese steak sandwich left over, but there is a garden salad with spaghetti, homemade sauce and meatballs.
I had to toast two pieces of Dave’s super bread, then cut them up into croutons, becoming a thickener for the sauce, because in error I had added too large of a cup of wine, and a jar of store bought mushroom pasta sauce to the meatballs, due to there being a complete lack of sauce this morning.
It turned out surprisingly delicious- once the alcohol evaporated off the sauce.
Cheers!
