Two Unofficial US Operatives Reporting To Trumps Lawyer Privately Lobbied A Foreign Government In A Bid To Help The President Win In 2020Reporting directly to Donald Trumps personal lawyer, two operators waged a brazen back-channel campaign that could thrust another foreign country to the center of the next US election.
Posted on July 22, 2019, at 6:00 a.m. ET
The two men urged prosecutors to investigate allegations against Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden. And they pushed for a probe into accusations that Ukrainian officials plotted to rig the 2016 election in Hillary Clintons favor by leaking evidence against Paul Manafort, Trumps campaign chair, in what became a cornerstone of the special counsels inquiry.
They also waged an aggressive campaign in the United States, staying at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC, and meeting with key members of Congress as they joined in a successful push that led to the removal of the ambassador to Ukraine after she angered their allies in Kiev.

and random schlubs youve never heard of just show up to have dinner with you uninvited? Worst part of the job, for sure.

Resident Criminal to remain mob boss, or maybe more accurately a Putin consigliere, continues to boggle the mind. Forget the consigliere quip - he is way too crazy.
