"Justice Department officials said high-ranking government officials in Turkey âparticipated in and protected this scheme,â with some receiving bribes worth tens of millions of dollars and helping to hide the conspiracy from the scrutiny of regulators in the United States."

So at the time it made sense for Trump to be going after them but many lobbyists, "...including Brian D. Ballard, a friend of Mr. Trumpâs and the vice chairman of his inauguration," were pushing the administration NOT to do this as it could ruin the economy of a key NATO ally.

But the involvement with Turkish officials and people in Trumps orbit including Pompeo, Mnuchin and (guess who!?) Rudy Giuliani is just crazy! Remember this one?

But in the meantime ol' Rudy is under investigation by the SDNY for a whole 'nother set of intrigues (y'all might remember Lev and Igor? The Ukraine stuff!!?) Good God, with all the dirt the SDNY has on the whole #TrumpCrimeSyndicate ...

This is why it is imperative that @SpeakerPelosi @RepJerryNadler @OversightDems and our old buddy @RepAdamSchiff move swiftly to #ImpeachBarr and #ImpeachBarrNow. Otherwise who knows how much crime that Berman was investigating will get covered up!
