Down the Rabbit Hole; Ukraine and Democratic Corruption

Timothy Birdnow

Here is a little something going back to April that I just discovered. It discusses Democratic ties to Ukraine, and how the Ukrainians were begging Trump to investigate.

 From the article:

Kostiantyn Kulyk, deputy head of the Prosecutor General's International Legal Cooperation Department, told me he and other senior law enforcement officials tried unsuccessfully since last year to get visas from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev to deliver their evidence to Washington.

Well, well, well; the DOJ - which has been anything but friendly to the Administration - blocked Ukrainians from coming here to present intel on corruption by DEMOCRATS.

Bear in mind William Barr was nominated on January 3, so he had nothing to do with the policy. This was all Jeff Sezzzions and the anti-Trump coalition. Rod Rosenstein, who effectively ran the DOJ during the Sessions tenure of office, was not sacked until May of this year.

Here's another interesting tidbit from the article:


That would be Marie Yavanovitch, you know, the woman who just testified in the Schiff impeachment hearings against Donald Trump!

But wait!  There's more!:

Ukrainian businessmen "authorized payments for lobbying efforts directed at the U.S. government," he told me. "In addition, these payments were made from funds that were acquired during the money-laundering operation. We have information that a U.S. company was involved in these payments." That company is tied to one or more prominent Democrats, Ukrainian officials insist.

In another instance, he said, Ukrainian authorities gathered evidence that money paid to an American Democrat allegedly was hidden by Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau(NABU) during the 2016 election under pressure from U.S. officials. "In the course of this investigation, we found that there was a situation during which influence was exerted on the NABU, so that the name of [the American] would not be mentioned," he said.

[...]

 

But many of the allegations shared with me by more than a half-dozen senior Ukrainian officials are supported by evidence that emerged in recent U.S. court filings and intelligence reports. The Ukrainians told me their evidence includes:

• Sworn statements from two Ukrainian officials admitting that their agency tried to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential electionin favor of Hillary Clinton. The effort included leaking an alleged ledger showing payments to then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort;
• Contacts between Democratic figures in Washington and Ukrainian officials that involved passing along dirt on Donald Trump;
• Financial records showing a Ukrainian natural gas company routed more than $3 millionto American accounts tied to Hunter Biden, younger son of then-Vice President Joe Biden, who managed U.S.-Ukraine relations for the Obama administration. Biden's son served on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company, Burisma Holdings;
• Records that Vice President Biden pressured Ukrainian officials in March 2016 to fire the prosecutor who oversaw an investigation of Burisma Holdings and who planned to interview Hunter Biden about the financial transfers;
• Correspondence showing members of the State Department and U.S. Embassy in Kiev interfered or applied pressure in criminal cases on Ukrainian soil;
• Disbursements of as much as $7 billion in Ukrainian funds that prosecutors believe may have been misappropriated or taken out of the country, including to the United States

This is history's largest CYA, something that puts the Teapot Dome scandal to shame. And the criminality is all on the Democrat's side, not on the side of Trump.

 

The Chutzpah is breathtaking in trying to impeach the President for asking Ukraine to investigate this.

And the Ukrainian officials holding this information don't want to give it to the FBI or another currupt agency; they know it will just disappear down the rabbit hole.
