The accounts of David Holmes and Suriya Jayanti could tie Trump closer to alleged efforts to hold up military aid to Ukraine in exchange for investigations into Joe Biden and his son Hunter

In this file photo taken on Oct. 17, 2019, Gordon Sondland, centre, arrives at the U.S. Capitol, in Washington, D.C.A second U.S. Embassy staffer in Kyiv overheard a cellphone call between President Donald Trump and his ambassador to the European Union discussing a need for Ukrainian officials to pursue “investigations,” The Associated Press has learned.

The White House did not respond to questions Thursday about the second witness to the call with Sondland. Jayanti is an attorney who joined the State Department in 2012 and was previously posted at the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. She has been stationed since September 2018 at the embassy in Kyiv where she helps co-ordinate U.S. business interests with the former Soviet republic’s energy industry.

U.S. diplomats and other government employees are instructed not to use cellphones for sensitive official matters while travelling anywhere abroad but notably in countries known to be targeted for surveillance by intelligence agencies such as Russia, China and Israel. In a closed-door hearing last month, former White House Russia adviser Fiona Hill said she was concerned that Sondland posed a counter-intelligence risk, according to a transcript released by the House. Hill cited a Sondland habit of giving out personal cellphone numbers – hers and national security adviser John Bolton’s as well as his own – and his failure to get appropriately briefed ahead of meetings.

Trump’s dirty, but Trudeau’s worse he was convicted of Obstruction of Justice by his OWN Ethics Commissioner (the fact that he blocked all RCMP and Parliamentary investigations of himself make it even worse). Trudeau gets a 500 fine that’s it...?

Like ours. They shill and lie for Racist Left Wing Governments. The Klan really sticks together.

............................. Again the most severe thing this new evidence reveals is that the old anti-globalist world order that the wealthy and powerful can do whatever they want for their personal and familiar gain is on trial. .............................. ... 1 / 2 ...
