OMB letters show that staffers knew they were committing a crime, and they're still covering it up

When Donald Trump handed down the demand that military assistance to Ukraine go into the freezer until he got the Biden-dirt he was demanding from the U.S. ally, someone had to carry out that order. That person was Mick Mulvaney. In his double role as acting chief of staff and director of the Office of Management and Budget, Mulvaney both is right there to catch whatever Trump is pitching and has the government’s checkbook in hand.

Unredacted emails show OMB officials knowingly engaged in conspiracy to hide illegal action by Trump

Unredacted versions of White House memos, obtained by the website Just Security, confirm that the decision to withhold U.S. military assistance from Ukraine came straight from Donald Trump. Those memos show rapidly escalating concern from officials at both the White House and the Pentagon who saw that Trump’s actions in delaying the release of the aide were both illegal and likely to generate a political firestorm. And they demonstrate that by the time Trump called the Ukrainian president, officials at the Office of Management and Budget were actively engaged in disguising the truth and conspiring to deceive both Congress and the public.....

New evidence shows why Senate must hear from John Bolton and Mick Mulvaney on Ukraine scandal – Raw Story

Newly revealed evidence shows President Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to help his re-election campaign threw his administration into chaos — and ended only after a whistleblower revealed the scheme. The New York Times interviewed dozens of current and former administration officials, congressional aides and others, and examined previously undisclosed emails and documents, to map out an account of the 84-day period from Trump’s first inquiry about withholding Ukraine aid and his decision to release the funds.....

Emails show Mick Mulvaney, Rick Perry knew of push to get Ukraine to open investigations

Emails exchanged between Donald Trump's point man on negotiations with Ukraine and two top Trump officials show they were kept apprised of efforts to convince Ukraine to launch the politically advantageous investigations Trump sought. On July 19 specifically, Trump charge and Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland sent emails to acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, and other Trump officials informing them that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky was ready to assure Trump by phone that he would open the investigations and "turn over every stone," according to The Wall Street Journal.....https://www.dailykos.com/story/2019/11/18/1900404/-Emails-show-Mick-Mulvaney-Rick-Perry-knew-of-push-to-get-Ukraine-to-open-investigations

Republicans sacrifice Giuliani, Mulvaney and Sondland to save Trump, but facts are getting in the way - The Washington Post

House Republicans are now preparing to sacrifice poor Rudolph Giuliani to save President Trump. Their new argument is that Giuliani — along with acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Ambassador Gordon Sondland — were freelancing the organized campaign to extort Ukraine into carrying out Trump’s political bidding, and Trump had no input into it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/08/republicans-are-throwing-giuliani-under-bus-theres-problem/

Mulvaney's Spin on Ukraine Aid - FactCheck.org

White House Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney engaged in some serious political spin when he tried to deny what he said in a televised press conference: that the White House withheld security aid to Ukraine, in part, because the administration wanted Ukraine to investigate Democrats and the 2016 election.

‘I’m in charge of the Hatch Act’: Trump barked at ‘weak’ chief of staff Mick Mulvaney — in a room full of aides – Raw Story

The Wall Street Journal has published an exposé about the Trump 2020 re-election campaign and how the president is “banking on base-pleasing campaign events – more meticulously produced this time – to outweigh any need for a fresh message.”

'Meltdown': Donald Trump and the impeachment week from hell - the guardian

On his 1,000th day as president, Barack Obama flew to North Carolina to launch a bus tour through smaller communities, selling a jobs act he hoped to get through Congress. Those were the days of politics as usual. Donald Trump spent his 1,000th day seemingly hellbent on self-immolation.

Trump and his squad pounded 'no quid pro quo' like a drum—until they got Mulvaneyed - Daily Kos

Pretty much everyone who means anything to Donald Trump advanced the bogus defense against impeachment that there was "no quid pro quo" in his July 25 shakedown of the Ukrainian president, starting with Trump himself. "Now, all of a sudden, quid pro quo doesn't matter because now they see, in the call, there was no quid pro quo," Trump told reporters at the White House on Oct. 16, a sentiment he echoed repeatedly on Twitter, at rallies, and elsewhere, as tracked by The New York Times.
