My son has a business, and they paid a web company to design a website with search optimization. Unlike Fraud Guarantee, it had an actual picture of my son and his two partners. The rest of it was generic blurb generated by the web company (which was an online company itself) with stock photos. They didn't change it for a long time because of the cost for redesign of any sort and mostly they just wanted their phone number on there along with the search optimization; calls from actual clients and subsequent discussion and performance, and word of mouth over time maintained business (meaning they actually did, and do, have business clients). They were limited in what they could show in terms of work done because of non-disclosure agreements (they work in IT infrastructure). The Fraudguarantee website is (was?) all boilerplate and stock photos. As I recall, it didn't even provide information about actual products; I would imagine some kind of licensure would be required to sell financial insurance products but there was nothing mentioned in that regard either.

Listened to Sessions.

"If the hostage says he doesn't feel threatened then I believe him."

Slightly paraphrased.

He keeps referring to "the Ukraine" as if it is still part of Russia. Well, then.

Former US Attorney has trouble finding a lawyer to represent him.

Rudy's baaaaaaccccckkk - and he appears to be throwing Trump under the impeachment bus. https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1192180680391843841?s=20

The investigation I conducted concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption, was done solely as a defense attorney to defend my client against false charges, that kept changing as one after another were disproven.

So therefore, it follows, that when Trump was asking for a "favor" in exchange for releasing military aid to Ukraine, the favor was for his own personal benefit.

It is interesting how Mike Pompeo, under testimony, supported that Russia interfered with the 2016 election, but is now subscribing to Flynn's conspiracy theory about Ukraine, at the expense of US Foreign policy and support for rank and file State Department employees.

Beginning to understand more of what those tax returns will show us.

”In 2006, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump traveled to Ukraine to meet with government officials about building a multimillion dollar hotel and golf course in the country. Two years later, Trump Jr. was back to meet with developers.

The Trumps were looking to erect luxury resorts across the former Soviet republics, and Ukraine seemed like a promising location. But doing so meant navigating a landscape that had long struggled with corruption. And as part of its overtures, the Trump Organization engaged developers Dmitry Buriak and felon Felix Sater, both of whom have had business interests in Russia.”

ut oh

(Reuters) - Lev Parnas, an indicted Ukrainian-American businessman who has ties to Trump’s personal lawyer, Giuliani, now prepared to comply w/requests for records and testimony from congressional investigators, his lawyer told Reuters on Monday.

“Trump has railed against Ukraine since the early days of his presidency, arguing against granting aid and accusing the country of trying to take him down. The loathing is now at the heart of the impeachment inquiry.”

Gates’s comments in the newly released Mueller investigation FOIAfest suggest that the theory that Ukraine was to blame for the hacks may have originated with Kilimnik. Kilimnik was charged with tampering with witnesses in the Mueller investigation and is believed to be in Moscow.

"Collided" is the wrong word. Maybe "coincided" is more accurate.

“Earlier this year, Lev Parnas, the indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, received a sudden windfall of money from a prominent Ukrainian oligarch who is fighting extradition to the United States and is suspected of having ties to the Russian mob, according to four sources who spoke with Parnas.

This summer, Parnas told potential business associates that his company began receiving payments from the oligarch, Dmytro Firtash, who is living in Austria while fighting bribery charges in the US, the sources told CNN.

Parnas also told these people he met with Firtash several times over the summer while in Vienna. In June, according to one of these sources, Parnas vouched to Firtash for two well-known Washington lawyers who later brought up Firtash's plight in a face-to-face meeting with Attorney General William Barr.

These new details appear to reveal a much more substantial relationship than previously known between Parnas and Firtash, and how Firtash's years-long extradition battle suddenly collided with Giuliani's push to dig up dirt on President Donald Trump's political opponents.”

Too many drinks and too many phones.
