Giuliani Pals Expected In Kyiv Before Arrest | Talking Points Memo

OT–

Kevin McCarthy is appointing Gym Jordan to the Intel Committee. The GOP is making its move ahead of the public hearings, it seems.

Now the questions whether or not Pelosi will allow it.

Well I grew up in Europe and I do think America is a great place but in some respects ( being polite ) there are better places. Eastern Europe is not what I’m talking about. And Russia really sucks.

Oh good! Gym’s smart, measured, and entirely fair in his public comments. Also, he’s tough. He was a wrestler, you know. Maybe he still is. Too bad he didn’t protect the students on the wrestling team at OSU from the doctor/molester when he was assistant coach.

He’s bumping Rick Crawford, from Arkansas. I don’t think he has to worry about reelection, so that’s not the reason. Maybe he’s just a compliant soul.

After invading the SKIF Gym Jordan should not be allowed any where near the intelligence committee.
Also, Gym Jordan, Intelligence Committee = oxymoron.

I haven’t seen much reporting on Brady Toensing’s appointment to a senior post at DOJ. Brady is Victoria Toensing’s son.

Advertise with Mother Jones

Attorney General William Barr and President Donald TrumpAlex Brandon/AP

The son of one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal defenders has a new gig in Trump’s Justice Department. Brady Toensing—whose mother Victoria Toensing and and step-father Joe diGenova are key players in the rapidly growing Ukraine scandal—joined the DOJ in June as a senior counsel in its Office of Legal Policy.

After the White House cut off military aid to Ukraine, Donald Trump’s top officials scrambled to get it restored but were unable to organise a meeting with the president, in part because his staff were too busy pursuing his interest in buying Greenland, according to newly released congressional testimony .

Or, in Schiff’s words after learning of their difficulties during the Taylor testimony,“That’s disturbing for a whole different reason.”

I’m SO going to enjoy next week!
