[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NPR: State Dept's Catherine Croft to testify today that during her time at NSC she got "multiple calls from lobbyist Robert Livingston, who told me that Ambassador Yovanovitch should be fired" and that he called her "Obama holdover...associated with George Soros."[/quote]

Why should anyone care about this? Who is Robert Livingston?[/quote]

You think Livingston was calling Croft out of the blue, on his dime? This isn't happening in a vacuum - Livingston was directed to do this, probably by Giuliani in his shadow operation.[/quote]

[i]"One of the organizations that helped Tymoshenko get in touch with U.S. officials in the buildup to the Ukrainian election was an obscure limited liability company called Innovative Technology & Business Consulting. To arrange the meeting with Volker, they hired lobbyists out of The Livingston Group, a Washington lobbying firm that was founded by Robert Livingston, a Republican who resigned from Congress in 1998 after admitting to cheating on his wife.

"The meeting between Volker and Tymoshenko took place in December 2018, according to a schedule on a lobbying disclosure report. Livingston, along with his colleague Cathryn Kingsbury, accompanied the former prime minister.

"For those involved with setting up the meeting, there was skepticism as to how the pro-Tymoshenko group was being funded. There was also acknowledgment that she was trying to use her visits to the United States as a way to gain favorable attention from potential Western allies before the general election.

“She came here, and she was basically trying to get some favorable attention among U.S. leaders,” Livingston said in an interview. “You ever been on a campaign trail? You talk to everybody you can, and you hope to generate support,” he added.

"Livingston went on to define the meeting as “congenial” and, because he says the two spoke mainly in Ukrainian, he could not definitely say what specifically was discussed.

“I didn’t understand it, but I set it up,” he said.

Innovative Technology & Business Consulting was led by an associate of Tymoshenko’s, Sergei Krasnitsk. Livingston said he never received an explanation as to who was funding the firm.

“There were other people funding it. I asked on several occasions and never found out. We would’ve liked to have known,” he said. A contract signed in June of that year between Livingston and the company shows the firm was paid $50,000 each month. Livingston noted the LLC is no longer one of his firm’s clients.[/i][/quote]
