In question is Trump's claim that the reason for the Russian investigation was flawed. Trump is hoping to end all trials and jail/prison sentences due to the idea the investigation should never have existed. It would make his Presidential Pardons more appropriate.
The investigation Former FBI director Mueller inherited was begun under another former Director of the FBI, James Comey. Then Director Comey received information about the hacking of the DNC, DCCC and Clinton campaign and began an investigation. There is no doubt the Russians did the hacking. The investigation that followed was more than appropriate and important to the sovereign elections of the USA.

President Donald Trump pressed Australia's Prime Minister (click here) during a recent phone call to help Attorney General William Barr with his review of the origins of the Russia probe, according to an official familiar with the call.
The call happened with Barr's knowledge and at his suggestion, says the official. The New York Times first reported this call.
The official notes this is seeking assistance with the review, which is being conducted by US Attorney John Durham, and so is seen as appropriate and completely different from the Ukraine matter. Justice Department officials say that it is appropriate for the attorney general and the President to seek help from foreign countries with an investigation of 2016 election interference....

I hope everyone is paying attention to a storm named Lorenzo.
It is headed toward the Azores. It won't bother the USA mainland or the Caribbean Sea. The "eye" of the storms are exceptionally well formed and intense.

It's been a busy hurricane season in the Atlantic this year. (click here) Hurricane Dorian took a devastating toll on the Bahamas in early September. Other storms have boiled up farther away from land, which is how Hurricane Lorenzo flew under the radar when it reached Category 5 status over the weekend, setting a new benchmark for hurricanes that far east.
Category 5 is the highest level of a hurricane with maximum sustained wind speeds of at least 157 mph (252 km/h) The National Hurricane Center called Lorenzo out on Saturday as "the strongest hurricane on record this far north and east in the Atlantic basin."

Evansville - As the trade war with China drags on, (click here) many of America's farms are going bankrupt.
The number of farmers falling behind on loans and filing for bankruptcy has jumped since the trade dispute began in spring 2018, according to industry statistics. And farms of all types and sizes continue going out of business.
"Many farmers and ranchers are reaching their breaking point," said Matt Perdue, the government relations director at the National Farmers Union. "The consensus is that this is going to lead to a lot of exits and more consolidations."
Between July 2018 and June 2019, the number of farms that filed for Chapter 12 bankruptcies (a type of bankruptcy designed to allow family farmers and family fishermen to restructure their finances) rose by 13 percent over the previous year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation....
Livestock is frequently sold at auction. There would be records to the increase of such sales. Dairy cows are productive and may have been sold at auction.

There is nothing to investigate in Ukraine.
The meeting (click here) resolved to elect Viktor Zubkov as Chairman of the Gazprom Board of Directors. Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, was named as Deputy Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors.
Hunter Biden was one of many qualified persons to become involved with Ukraine companies. Why is that? The companies wanted to distance themselves from Russia. That is a given, but, why was Hunter Biden hired in 2014?
The picture to the above and left is the headquarters of "Gasprom" in Moscow.
The reason the investigations by Viktor Shokin were conducted was to hem in any freedoms of Burisma Holdings. Realizing Ukraine, when freed from Russia, is a strategic energy source for Europe and NATO.
The choice of Hunter Biden makes sense. He would not seek to promote corruption in Ukraine. It also made a statement to the West of Ukraine's desire to be a trading partner with Europe and the USA when possible.
Nearly 80% of the world's total proven natural gas reserves (click here) are located in ten countries. Russia tops the list, holding about a quarter of world's total gas reserves, followed by Iran and Qatar in the Middle East. Hydrocarbons-technology.com profiles the top 10 countries with the world's biggest proven gas reserves....
Russia holds the largest amount of natural gas reserves in the world. The country was estimated to possess about 1,688 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven gas reserves as of January 2013, accounting for about one fourth of the world’s total proven gas reserves.
More than half of Russia’s gas reserves are located in Siberia....
There are American and NATO interests with Ukraine petroleum industry. That is what Burisma Holdings is, a Ukrainian petroleum company.

...Scientific Research Institute (click here) “Naukanaftogas” of Naftogas of Ukraine total technically recoverable shale gas reserves in Ukraine equal to 22 trillion cubic meters, including 4.3 trillion cubic meters in eastern region, 3.4 trillion cubic meters in western region and 4.3 trillion cubic meters in southern region. According to the Head of Oil and Gas Geological Studies Center of Naukanaftogas Sergiy Vakarchuk the volumes of shale gas available for commercial extraction could be 3-4 times lower than estimated geological reserves....
Currently, some European countries receive their natural gas through pipelines from Russia. I don't really expect that to change even with Ukraine becoming another country of NATO.
The reason Western business people, including Hunter Biden, were interested in participating in the newly declared freedom of Ukraine was to move them forward into the 21st century rather than being bogged down in old-world Russian economies.
Shokin was not fired by anyone, he was voted out of power.
Former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin applied to the Supreme Administrative Court to rule illegal the order on his resignation and the order by the Verkhovna Rada, that approved the resignation. The Ukrainian News reported that reported that citing the press service of the Supreme Administrative Court.
...As it was reported, (click here) on March 29, 289 MPs voted on the dismissal of Viktor Shokin, Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
...As it was reported, (click here) on March 29, 289 MPs voted on the dismissal of Viktor Shokin, Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
63-year-old Viktor Shokin was appointed Attorney General 10 February 2015. He started his activity with the arrest of the former head of the Party of Regions Oleksandr Yefremov.
Shokin did not get along with his young deputies and reformers, David Sakvarelidze and Vitaliy Kasko. Their conflict has deepened after the arrest of Deputy Chief of Investigation Department Volodymyr Shapakin and deputy prosecutor of Kyiv region Olexander Korniyets (in the summer of 2015). Shokin has deactivated Inspection Department, which investigated the case of "diamond prosecutors" and eliminated Investigation Department of General Inspection, headed by Kasko, cancelling all his functions.
What surprises me is that Donald J. Trump chronically talks about USA interests, yet he is anxious to turn the clock back to a time when Ukraine's economic infrastructure was under attack by Shokin. The real investigation lies with the impeachment inquiry and it's findings to the facts regarding Trump's attempts to exploit the President of Ukraine in an elaborate attempt to discredit Former Vice President Biden and cast a shadow over the Democratic party.September 25, 2019

Kiev - A Ukrainian investigation of gas company Burisma (click here) is focused solely on activity that took place before Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, was hired to sit on its board, Ukraine’s anti-corruption investigation agency said....
...The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) said an investigation was ongoing into permits granted by officials at the Ministry of Ecology for the use of natural resources to a string of companies managed by Burisma.
But it said the period under investigation was 2010-2012, and noted that this was before the company hired Hunter Biden.
“Changes to the board of Burisma Limited, which are currently the object of international attention, took place only in May 2014, and therefore are not and never were the subject of (the anti-corruption bureau’s) investigation,” the bureau’s statement said.
Hunter Biden was a director on Burisma’s board from 2014-2018, according to documents filed by the company in Cyprus, where it is registered.
The investigation into Burisma covers a period when Ukraine was governed by a Kremlin ally, Viktor Yanukovich. Burisma hired Hunter Biden after Yanukovich was toppled in a popular revolt in 2014 and replaced by a pro-Western government.
At the time, many Ukrainian firms were seeking to distance themselves from their relationships with the previous, pro-Moscow authorities, and some invited Western public figures to sit on their boards.
The NABU’s investigation related to the 2010-2012 period is not particularly active, Kholodnytsky added....
There is no reason for Trump to postpone any gun legislation. It is stalled in the US Senate and it not the problem anymore of the US House. Ask "Moscow Mitch" why he hasn't brought needed legislation to the floor of the US Senate.
Trump is lying about moving forward on gun legislation because it satisfies his politics.

Afghanistan CEO Abdullah Abdullah has been a consistent and stabilizing element of the Afghan government since BEFORE September 11, 2001. He is a learned and most probably a wealthy man. When his country was in disarray he rose to leadership in the "Northern Alliance" a militia that has proved to be tenacious and effective.
He is seen as a Tajik. There exists bias against him because of ethnicity, not his ability to lead. That is what the USA is up against in countries it tries to help to democracy. It is a kind of voodoo as far as I am concerned. Citizens of any country, even some of the most impoverished should be voting their best interest and not their favorite prejudice.

Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani (click here) and the country's chief executive, Abdullah Abdullah, have both claimed victory in a weekend presidential election, a scene reminiscent of the last vote in 2014.
Though preliminary overall results aren't expected for another three weeks, Abdullah told a news conference in Kabul on September 30 that by his count, he won such a clear-cut victory in the balloting that a second-round runoff won't be needed.
That followed a claim by Ghani's running mate, Amrullah Saleh, that the incumbent had won a clear first-ballot victory.
"The information that we have received shows that 60 to 70 percent of people voted [for] us," Saleh was quoted by Voice of America as saying.
Neither side offered any evidence to back up their claims, raising concerns that the war-torn country is headed for a similar situation that arose from the 2014 election, where the same two candidates made competing claims of victory....

Loan guarantees, Hunter Biden and a fired Ukrainian prosecutor are unrelated.
There was pressure to fire Viktor Shokin was initiated by OUR ALLY, the United Kingdom. The USA, under the direction of Vice President Biden would later join the UK in it's money laundering investigation and placed more pressure on Ukraine's leadership to remove Viktor Shokin by removing the offer of loan guarantees.

I was an investigative reporter in the Washington bureau of the Times. (click here) That month, I published a story reporting that Vice President Joe Biden had just traveled to Ukraine, in part to send a message to the Ukrainian government that it needed to crack down on corruption.
But I also wrote that his anti-corruption message might be undermined by the association of his son Hunter with one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Burisma Holdings, and with its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. Zlochevsky had been Ukraine’s ecology minister under former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Russian leader who had been forced into exile in Russia.
Hunter Biden had joined the board of Burisma in April 2014, the same month that British officials froze Zlochevsky’s London bank accounts containing $23 million. Britain’s Serious Fraud Office, an independent government agency, was conducting a money-laundering investigation and refused to allow Zlochevsky or Burisma Holdings, the company’s chief legal officer, and another company owned by Zlochevsky access to the accounts.
But the British money-laundering investigation was stymied by Ukrainian prosecutors’ refusal to cooperate. The Ukrainian prosecutors would not turn over documents needed in the British investigation, and without that documentary evidence, a British court ordered Britain’s Serious Fraud Office to unfreeze the assets.
In September 2015, then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt gave a speech in which he attacked the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office for failing to cooperate with the British investigation. In his speech — which I quoted in my story — Pyatt mentioned Burisma’s owner by name....
The video below turns the entire policy of the USA on it's head by introducing the idea it was Joe Biden that initiated the demands for Viktor Shokin's firing. In this video it is made to look as though Joe Biden was using USA Loan Guarantees as a bribe to get rid of Shokin whom was investigating the energy company Hunter Biden was working for.
All this is a lie and truncates the actual dynamics of what was occurring with Ukraine.
Kindly remember Russia is the King of Money Laundering because their currency is worthless. Europe is well aware of the money laundering INDUSTRY affiliated with Russia. Ukraine at the time of the revolution was deeply involved with Russia and Putin. Enough said.
At this point Guiliani is just "a mouth" for Trump. Guiliani is spewing propaganda and that is why Biden made his plea to the media to end the nonsense that was causing problems within the country's politics.
Do we want a government based on lies and propaganda or do we want a country with rock solid policies based on THE TRUTH? It was always my impression the US Constitution demands the truth.

The youngest chancellor of Austria was recently elected to office. Sebastian Kurtz rejects socialist policies and ran on anti-immigration and anti-political Islam, "Make Austria Great Again. (click here)"
He has extensive experience in foreign relations. His election has placed his party back in control of the Austrian agenda, however, he has to form a coalition before they can govern. Similar to the dynamics seen in the UK with Boris Johnson. If Kurtz is unable to find common ground with his coalition partner, his government will be unable to maintain its leadership for fear of a collapse.
The article above "Make Austria Great Again" clearly illustrates his foreign policy leanings.

Austrian conservative leader Sebastian Kurz (click here if video doesn't open - thank you) triumphed in Sunday's parliamentary election, as widely expected, but he will need a coalition partner to form a stable government. Meanwhile, support for the far-right Freedom party (FPÖ) fell by more than a third as voters punished the party for a corruption scandal that brought down the government. 'It was an incredibly difficult election campaign, the FPÖ leader, Norbert Hofer, told supporters. 'We all had to carry our load, and every day another stone was added to it,' he said, seeming to refer to the undercover video of then vice-chancellor offering lucrative public contracts in exchange for campaign support

Steve Bannon was befriended by Jeffery Epstein in 2018.
At the very least he was looking for money. Beggers can't be chosers I suppose. But, what did he need vast amounts of money for? In my opinion, Bannon is doing his level best to destroy democracy.
Why?
Because there is money and potential for more money in countries of the Third World. Bannon's glide path to that money is through right-wing extremist politics. He has to change the politics that currently exists in order to change the paradigm to more exploitive policies.
The "Policy of Exploitation" is very evident in the Trump White House in the way of reckless deregulation.

Contacted several times, a spokesperson replied that the former political advisor of Donald Trump stayed at the Bristol Hotel while traveling in Paris....
...Investigators with the French police (click here) this week searched the Paris apartment formerly occupied by Epstein in connection with allegations that the infamous sex offender sexually abused and trafficked women and girls prior to his death by suicide in August, according to France 24. French prosecutors last month opened a preliminary investigation into Epstein’s alleged rape of minors.
The reported Bannon-Epstein meeting in Paris occurred months after Page Six said Bannon visited Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse. That was in Aug. 2018. An unnamed source speculated that Bannon was meeting with Epstein because he “need[ed] money to bankroll his political agenda” and Epstein was known to have “plenty of money, and crave[d] power and access.”
Bannon’s tenure as Trump chief strategist ended in Aug. 2017.
A Gates representative said on their behalf that “Any allusion to a business or personal relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Bill and Melinda Gates is totally false.”

Lawyers (click here) acting for the whistleblower at the centre of the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump’s attempts to solicit foreign help for his re-election campaign have warned that their client’s personal safety is in danger partly as a result of the president’s remarks.
Andrew Bakaj, the lead attorney for the unnamed intelligence official who sounded the alarm on Trump’s activities relating to Ukraine, expressed fears on Sunday that the whistleblower could be put “in harm’s way” were his or her identity made public. In a letter to the acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire, Bakaj points directly at Trump’s aggressive statements that he said prompted “concerns for our client’s safety”.
The letter, first reported by 60 Minutes on CBS News, quotes Trump’s comments on Thursday to staff at the US mission to the UN in New York. In his remarks, made behind closed doors but reported by the New York Times, the US president made a thinly-veiled threat that showed disdain for the institutional protections afforded to whistleblowers under federal law....
Fear, intimidation and sabotage is Donald Trump's favorite moves. By demanding the whistleblower's identity be made public serves two purposes; it intimidates the whistleblower from future testimony or reporting and it also instills fear into others that can file whistleblower complaints.

There is a Dark Sky Park in Michigan (click here) and it doesn't anything to park and watch the sky. There is also a beautiful reception hall where they give classes on Thursday (I haven't checked their schedule lately.) but they also rent the space out for weddings. It must be spectacular to have a picture against that dark sky.
