Giuliani Met With DOJ Officials in ‘Very Sensitive’ Foreign Bribery Case: NYT
Allison Quinn, News Editor, DailyBeast — Oct 18, 2019
Rudy Giuliani met with top Justice Department officials recently on behalf of a client in a foreign bribery case that the Trump attorney called “very, very sensitive,” The New York Times reports. The meeting was reportedly held just days before Giuliani himself came under scrutiny by federal prosecutors for possible lobbying violations.
[...]
News of the meeting comes as Giuliani faces accusations of running an off-the-books pressure campaign in Ukraine to force authorities there to investigate Trump’s potential 2020 rival, Joe Biden. That campaign is now at the center of an impeachment inquiry against Trump, and two associates of Giuliani’s said to be involved in the dirt-digging mission in Ukraine have been arrested for allegedly violating campaign finance laws.
Could this “very, very sensitive” foreign client of Rudy’s, actually be the guy at the center of the Rudy-Trump conspiracy effort, one bribery suspect being sought on extradition by US Courts ...
Ukrainian oligarch Firtash linked to Giuliani pals' gas deals and Biden dirt digging
A Ukrainian oligarch who is fighting extradition to the U.S. may figure in both the dirt digging and the gas deals pursued by Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.

In an interview with NBC News on Monday, Giuliani said he has "nothing to do with Firtash," and he said he never spoke to Trump about the Firtash case.
"I'm not even sure the president is aware of him," Giuliani said. "I think if you asked the president, 'Who is Dmytro Firtash?' He would say 'I don't know.' As far as I know, we've never discussed him."
The same may not be true for Giuliani's associates, however. In March, at a meeting in Houston, Parnas and Fruman mentioned Firtash as they made a proposal to an official of Ukraine's natural gas company, according to Dale Perry, an American gas executive who does business in Ukraine and was briefed on the meeting. Perry told NBC News the pair was urging that the gas company pay Firtash a debt of more than $200 million that Firtash believes he is owed by the company.
Which is it Rudy? You never heard of the guy? … Or you never told Trump about the guy?
— This mobbed-up Ukrainian — that you never heard of …
Funny, maybe you never heard of the Fabricated Documents that the legal team of Dmitry Firtash gave you — information which you have been claiming prove your conspiracy theories against the Bidens …
Maybe Rudy has never “heard of“ his lawyers, either ...
Exclusive: How a Ukrainian Oligarch Wanted by U.S. Authorities Helped Giuliani Attack Biden
by Simon Shuster, Time — Oct 15, 2019
[...]
In their effort to discredit President Donald Trump’s perceived enemies, close allies of the President have received key documents and information from a Ukrainian oligarch wanted in the U.S. on corruption charges, according to five people directly involved in this effort and two other people familiar with it.
The information came from the legal team of Dmitry Firtash, a wealthy industrialist with assets across Europe, who has spent the last five years in Vienna fighting extradition to the U.S. on bribery and racketeering charges. The U.S. Department of Justice said in 2017 he was among the “upper echelon associates of Russian organized crime”—something Firtash vigorously denies, along with all charges against him.
As part of his legal defense, Firtash’s lawyers have gathered documents that make controversial allegations against former special counsel Robert Mueller and former Vice President Joe Biden. Firtash’s lawyers have passed these documents and other information to associates of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
In his frequent appearances on cable news, Giuliani has presented some of these documents to the American public as evidence for his claims of wrongdoing by Mueller and Biden. [...]
Firtash has admitted to being involved with the Russian Mob, and is a past associate of Paul Manafort as well. Firtash is a wealthy Gas Magnate, who is suspected of being the deep-pockets money source for Parnas and Fruman and their illegal GOP Campaign influence efforts. Since Parnas and Fruman appear to be only ‘Caymen Islands conmen’ with no viable source of income of their own — their boss business connection Dmitry Firtash, is likely the source of the $500,000 paycheck to Giuliani, as well.
No wonder Rudy is pulling out all the stops with the DOJ, to get the Extradition case cancelled “on behalf of a client in a foreign bribery case” as recently reported by the New York Times. Rudy owes him. And the guy knows where all ‘the bodies are buried’ too.
The Times found out that Rudy recently met with one of highest ranking officials at the DOJ, Attorney General Brian Benczkowski, about some “sensitive Extradition case”. (You DO this often, Rudy?)
If AG Benczkowski was under orders to meet with Trump’s Fixer — it could mean game-over for Bill Barr too, and his ‘Presidential Favors Factory’ that he has been operating in his short stint, as Trump’s Chief stone-waller.
Stayed tuned. These “follow the money” threads involving Dmitry Firtash, are definitely worth watching. Rachael Maddow has been following him, for quite a while now too.

It’s about to be “crunch time” for the Trump rats are being currently legally cornered. That would be those Trump fall-guys compromised-enough, that they have yet to abandon the sinking ship.
