“the largest and most respected news service in Ukraine”

I’m not saying they are bad.

But I AM saying that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.

"Last week, November 14, the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO), unnoticed by the media, announced a new suspicion to the notorious owner of Burisma, ex-Ecology Minister Zlochevsky. According to the suspicion, the Yanukovych family is suspected, in particular, with legalizing (laundering) of criminally obtained income through Franklin Templeton Investments, an investment fund carrying out purchases of external government loan bonds totaling $7.4 billion," Derkach said.

Looks like someone got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

One has to wonder if the Prosecutor General's Office was watching for such activity. Like a mouse trap waiting to be sprung.

Franklin years ago also plead guilty to taking after hour late trades for foreign market manipulation for the benefit of some prime customers. They were fined a significant sum of money. Several firms were involved.

Interesting development here...

Wait, they can demand and we have to look into it? Glad they didn’t ask for a favor. That is executable!

"The son of Templeton's founder, John Templeton Jr., was one of President Obama's major campaign donors. Another fund-related character is Thomas Donilon. Managing Director of BlackRock Investment Institute, shareholder Franklin Templeton Investments, which has the largest share in the fund. It is noteworthy that he previously was Obama's national security advisor," Derkach said."

BlackRock's Investment Approach, (From their web site).
The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities or other financial instruments that are components of, or have characteristics similar to, the securities included in the MSCI China A Onshore Index. The MSCI China A Onshore Index captures large and mid-cap representation across China securities listed on the SSE and SZSE.

Maybe that's why the democrats are so upset with Trump renegotiating the China trade agreement.. The crooks could lose money.???
Seems the democratic leadership may be more invested in our competitors then our own country...

Ukrainian members of parliament have demanded the presidents of Ukraine and the United States, Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump, investigate suspicions of the legalization of $7.4 billion by the “family” of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych through the American investment fund Franklin Templeton Investments, which they said has ties to the U.S. Democratic Party.

TRANSLATION....

We’ve all known about this. We’ve all been trying, desperately, to get our hands in that cookie jar. For those of us who haven’t, we demand an investigation to get rid of the old guard that has gotten rich off of this corruption that has been going on for years. For those that have, we demand an investigation and have information on much more powerful folks, that we’ll present to make a deal and get off. And I’ll be allowed to keep the money. Because in the US, you protest, break some windows, maybe light a few cars on fire. In the Ukraine, there’s a damn good chance I’ll be taken out of my home or office and dragged through the streets.

If this is true and they want a legitimate investigation, that could result in folks in prison jumpsuits(which I have no doubt that many members of Congress should be some), that some of them are in DC, NoVa, & NYC, figuring out how to hide/protect their money and if they can actually jump off the roof, shoot themselves or overdose. They all thought they’d never get caught.

Be careful what you wish for Pelosi, Schiff, et al, you just might get it.
