As of Friday, Oct. 11, The Courier-Journal reports that numerous people have already scaled the replica wall, including an 8-year-old girl, even though Weber's competition isn't until this weekend.

According to the Courier-Journal, 30-year-old Peter Favaloro of Boston reached the top of the wall in about a minute. The novice climber told the publication he traveled to climb the wall after seeing news coverage about it.

Ja, dat was snel he? Maar het blijft toch enigszins raadselachtig waarom ze die vent weer zo dringend moesten spreken, Giuliani had die rapporten immers al gekregen van Firtash, toch?

De VS vragen nog steeds de uitlevering van Firtash. Kan me voorstellen dat hij doet alsof ie nuttige info heeft, maar die enkel wil geven als ze het verzoek intrekken. Zou niet de eerste keer zijn, in 2013 vroeg de VS al eens om z'n uitlevering, maar dat werd enkele dagen later weer ingetrokken, na besprekingen tussen FBI, State Department en DOJ.

Misschien wilde Giuliani zoiets regelen?

Sources directly familiar tell me many Fox News and Fox Business staffers were "shocked" when Shep Smith announced his departure on @:foxnews, some were visibly upset. He was escorted out by security, per sources.

Fox plans to have a set of rotating anchors host his time slot.

Lijkt me ook niet heel normaal om na je ontslag door beveiliging naar buiten begeleid te worden.

McAleenan had been frustrated with a cadre of Trump's appointments to senior immigration roles and recently told The Washington Post that he was struggling to control his department. More hardline figures have attacked him as insufficiently committed to the president immigration agenda, while critics of those policies argue he has used conciliatory rhetoric to lend cover to harsh measures.

Trump in turn had questioned whether McAleenan was loyal to him.

A person close to McAleenan said he resigned on Friday after weeks of growing disenchantment with his standing in the administration. He was never formally nominated for the job.

"What I don't have control over is the tone, the message, the public face and approach of the department in an increasingly polarized time," McAleenan said in an interview with The Washington Post. "That's uncomfortable, as the accountable, senior figure."

The unnamed Ukrainian official referenced in a federal indictment as directing a plot to oust the then-U.S. ambassador is Ukraine's former chief prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko, according to a U.S. official familiar with the events.

According to the source, Lutsenko is the Ukrainian official who prosecutors say urged two associates of Rudy Giuliani to push for the removal of Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine who was forced out in May.

The associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, were arrested Wednesday night as they prepared to board a one-way flight out of the country at Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C.

"They sought political influence not only to advance their own financial interests, but to advance the political interests of at least one foreign official ⁠— a Ukrainian government official who sought the dismissal of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine," Geoffrey Berman, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said at a Thursday news conference.

Dit is toch wel opvallend. Als hier een connectie is, dan zullen we het ooit weten.

The way Smith saw it, he was making sure that accurate information was getting on Fox's air.

"I wonder," he told a Time magazine reporter last year, "if I stopped delivering the facts, what would go in its place in this place that is most watched, most listened, most viewed, most trusted? I don't know."

But he had had enough. In September, according to a well-placed source, he went to Fox News management and asked to be let out of his long-term contract. Tensions with the opinion shows were the breaking point.

Executives at the network leaned on him to stay, but to no avail. On Friday afternoon he announced his departure on the air, then exited the building immediately, clearly emotional about saying goodbye to his television home of twenty years.
