THE UKRAINE SCANDAL SPREADS
Powerline ^ | Nvember 9,2019 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 11/10/2019 3:12:20 PM PST by Hojczyk

A few months later, by mid-2016, the Obama administration had in place a plan for USAID to partner with Burisma, until Kent intervened to block it.

More:

Kent’s stoppage of the USAID project adds to a growing body of evidence that Burisma and its corruption issues were causing heartburn inside the State Department during the end of Joe Biden’s tenure as Vice President.

Another State official has reportedly testified he tried to warn Biden’s office that the Burisma matter posed a conflict of interest but was turned away by the vice president’s aides. *** Kent’s newly released testimony also confirmed several other elements of my earlier reporting about Ukraine, including that the U.S. embassy exerted pressure on Ukrainian prosecutors not to pursue certain investigations. *** For instance, Kent acknowledged signing an April 2016 letter that asked the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office to stand down an investigation of several nonprofits that had received U.S. aid, including the AntiCorruption Action Centre of Ukraine, or AnTac.

Kent also confirmed my reporting that AnTac was jointly funded by the State Department and one of liberal megadonor George Soros’ foundations.

So Obama administration corruption relating to Ukraine may well have extended beyond Burisma’s $3 million bribe to the Biden family. President Trump was entirely correct in wanting this Obama/Biden administration corruption to be investigated, but the Democratic Party press seems to have succeeded, bizarrely, in painting

Trump as the villain of the story. Who says the “mainstream” press no longer has any power? The Biden family’s self-enrichment is a great example of the swamp against which Donald Trump ran for office, and America’s reporters and editors, with few exceptions, are swamp members in good standing.

AOL commie news reports this shameful pro Democrat garbage around the clock and has thousands of trolls, idiots, and goobers ready to blast away with one sentence bromides to anyone that challenges the day’s lies. It’s highly systemic.

It seems that all of the guaranteed loan money supplied by US taxpayers and provided by Joe Biden after the prosecutor was fired.....well it all went missing.

I really despise Howard Kertz, and a big reason why I will never watch Fox News ever again.

Wouldn’t it be fascinating if the Trump Administration produced their own whistleblower on the Bidens?

You would see the media and the Democrats do a 180 and DEMAND to know everything about the whistleblower. It would serve them right.

I must admit, the Democrat party has played this out brilliantly. With the co-conspirator press they have masterfully managed to turn their scandal into a Trump scandal.

I do believe however, their house of cards scheme will ultimately be proven to be a complete scam and it will damage them significantly, perhaps irreparably’

We shall see.

I think Obama set up the Biden’s to ensure he wouldn’t run in 2020. This has Clinton written all over it.

I can’t stand to listen to Kurtz either

He talks too fast and is hard to understand and if he talk for over a minute he will throw a few subtle digs at Trump

He is a leftist anti-Trumper.

With all the outrage over biden’s obvious corruption being directed toward President Trump’s exposing of same, I see zero msm mention of ‘crowdstrike’, also brought up in the conversation.

Oh yeah without a doubt, and I believe he would admit his strong bias against President Trump.

I see supposedly conservative authors from supposedly conservative sites still making the claim that Trump specifically asked Ukraine “to investigate his political rival”

If Biden wins the next election will he be Impeached for what he admitted on video to a Quid Pro Quo with Ukraine?

So Soros was paying to investigate his investments in the Ukraine...NOT... it was a cover up non profit. A sham

I hope and pray you are prophetic.
