"Mr. Reeker, a 25-year friend of Ms. Yovanovitch’s, tried to rally support for her in the form of an internal letter, but was urged not to by Mr. Pompeo and other top State Department officials, who noted that Ms. Yovanovitch’s removal was a priority for the president"https://twitter.com/HoarseWisperer/status/1188147154004652039

White House cybersecurity chief quits, says leadership is inviting an attack.
White House computer security Chief Dimitrios Vistakis gave the White House one helluva resignation notice earlier this week when he quit over practices he dubbed “absurd” including the systemic purging of cybersecurity staff.
"They say that history repeats itself. Unfortunately given all of the changes I’ve seen in the past three months, I foresee the White House is posturing itself to be electronically compromised once again. Allowing for a large portion of institutional knowledge to concurrently walk right out the front door seems contrary to the best of interests of the mission and organization as a whole."
The above quote, taken from a memo obtained by Axios and sent by Vistakis summarizes the former director’s worries. The rest of the letter paints the picture of a Trump administration hellbent on purging the Obama-appointed security specialists tasked with defending White House computers in the wake of a 2014 breach.

If you're so innocent-if this is all fraud, why not produce docs/testimony to exonerate yourself?
If you're so innocent -- if this is all fraud, why don't you produce the documents and testimony to exonerate yourself? A lawsuit would require you to produce those materials any way, so why not do it now? Oh, right. Because you're guilty and you're covering it up.
@realDonaldTrump
My lawyers should sue the Democrats and Shifty Adam Schiff for fraud!

Feds blew the door off a safe in Giuliani associate raids
Agents of the U.S. government have issued multiple subpoenas and conducted searches of various properties in the course of investigating Rudy Giuliani's “Fraud Guarantee” associates, and in one instance feds literally blew the door off a safe to access its contents, reports CNN
The subpoena to Steven Fruman is the latest indication of prosecutors' actions since the rushed arrest two weeks ago of his brother, Igor Fruman, and another defendant, Lev Parnas, at a Washington-area airport. Since then, investigators have doled out multiple subpoenas and conducted several property searches, in one case blowing the door off a safe to access the contents, sources tell CNN.
Federal prosecutors told a judge this week that they are sifting through data from more than 50 bank accounts. In addition, they've put a filter team in place as they examine communications obtained via search warrant and subpoena, sensitive to material that could be subject to attorney-client privilege because Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal attorney, counted Parnas as a client. A filter team is a separate set of prosecutors who are assigned to examine evidence and set aside material that is privileged.
Since the October 9 arrests, federal agents visited the New York home of Steven Fruman and served him with a subpoena from Manhattan federal prosecutors, the people familiar with the matter said.
Attorneys for Steven and Igor Fruman declined to comment, as did the Manhattan US Attorney's office.
