While the 2016 presidential race was raging in America, Ukrainian prosecutors ran into some unexpectedly strong headwinds as they pursued an investigation into the activities of a nonprofit in their homeland known as the Anti-Corruption Action Centre (AntAC).
The focus on AntAC(Anti-Corruption Action Center) — was part of a larger probe by Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office into whether $4.4 million in U.S. funds to fight corruption inside the former Soviet republic had been improperly diverted.
The prosecutors soon would learn the resistance they faced was blowing directly from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, where the Obama administration took the rare step of trying to press the Ukrainian government to back off its investigation of both the U.S. aid and the group. .... It turns out the group that Ukrainian law enforcement was probing was co-funded by the Obama administration and liberal mega-donor George Soros. And it was collaborating with the FBI agents investigating then-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort’s business activities with pro-Russian figures in Ukraine.
The implied message to Ukraine’s prosecutors was clear: Don’t target AntAC in the middle of an America presidential election in which Soros was backing Hillary Clinton to succeed another Soros favorite, Barack Obama, Ukrainian officials said.

The State Department is not exactly your typical - er - genius material.
OK, not even your typical - just barely- good enough material.
Oh, for the days when lib arts degrees actually required some intellect and scholarship. (Yes, some still do. But apparently, far too few.)
The picture is clearer now.
Obama influenced Ukraine to NOT investigate corruption. [Biden: Fire the prosecutor investigating my son or lose one billion dollars]
Trump influenced Ukraine TO investigate corruption. [Trump: You need to do something about Burisma or we may not send anymore aid]
Is that about right?
No wonder the Democrat Party is so desperate.
Attempted tit-for-tat
Quid-pro-quo
Or just plain COLLUSION???
Look at the date that Solomon posted it. Just when Yovanovich was being reassigned. Hmmmm.
It is NOT too late to launch an impeachment investigation of Obama.
Just flip back the House in 2020 and flop the Senate to a super-majority
oh, and grow a spine
What is this nonsense? Self hating Jew Nazi collaborator? Considering Hitlers Ukrainian genocide? WTF is going on.
[Biden: Fire the prosecutor investigating my son or lose one billion dollars]
Yovanovitch was a different story. She was more of a strident ideologue trying to push her agenda. She has already been careless enough to get caught in perjury and its very likely she committed additional acts of perjury her recent testimony
When in 2016 did this Obama/Soros event happen? Ms.Y became ambassador in September 2016.
All of the corruption seems to sprout directly from the State Department.
Foggy Bottom has the highest concentration of globalist, anti-American vermin of anywhere in the Deep State. That place should’ve been fumigated right after the inauguration.
Solomon has been crushing it yet again with his series of stories on Ukraine.
Maybe someone should highlight this to the Pubbie congressional staff.
Don’t believe anyone called out Madam Ambassador for all her fibbing.
Didn’t she testify that there was no “Do Not Prosecute” list under Mr “POTUS WANTS TO KNOW EVERYTHING WE’RE DOING”?
OK...Is the Ukraine city Kiev or Kyev????
I’ve seen it BOTH ways...
But how many of the American people are siding with the anti-Trump forces? Fools.
Just because Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer tell them Biden, Hunter & Obama are already “vetted” and innocent but Trump is in solemnly serious Constitutional crisis mode and is declining hour by hour.
And Schiff will not allow the “hoax” of the truth about them to be part of the witness selection or the investigation. Just anti-Trump swill allowed even if 2nd or 3rd hand gossip from fired, angry ex employees.

Funny, I was just wondering yesterday if someone were to list all the great accomplishments made by US Ambassadors what would they be?
Shame the repubs can’t call Soloman.
