December 2015 was a pivotal month in many respects.
During the first week of December 2015, Donald Trump began to establish a substantial lead over his Republican primary opponents.
Vice President Joseph Biden traveled to Ukraine to announce, on December 7th, a $190 million program to “fight corruption in law enforcement and reform the justice sector,” but behind the scenes explicitly linked a $1 billion loan guarantee to the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who had been investigating the energy company Burisma, which employed Biden’s son Hunter.
On December 9, 2015, the reported whistleblower Eric Ciaramella held a meeting in Room 236 of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with Daria Kaleniuk, executive director of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Action Center, which was 59%-funded by Barack Obama’s State Department and the International Renaissance Foundation, a George Soros organization.
Also attending that meeting was Catherine Newcombe, attorney in the Criminal Division, Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, with the U.S. Department of Justice, where, among other duties, she oversaw the Department's legal assistance programs to Ukraine.
By December 2015, Paul Manafort was undoubtedly considering approaching the Trump campaign to rejuvenate his U.S. political bona fides and mitigate the legal and financial difficulties he was experiencing at the time.
From the beginning of his association with the Trump campaign, Roger Stone, a long-time Manafort partner, made a strong case to Trump to bring in Manafort, who would officially connect to the campaign immediately after the February 1, 2016 Iowa caucuses.
Based on events occurring during the same period, were Obama Deep State operatives aware of Manafort’s intent and already intending to use his past questionable practices and links to Russia against Trump?
Such awareness of Manafort’s plans could have been obtained either through FBI surveillance, which began in 2014 and ended in early 2016,

So what?
FR’s Russophobia nuts believe in Ukraine.
Could you expand your thought on this.
Your reply, as it stands, is rather cryptic
and not very informative.
Very good read. Thanks for posting.
Mr. Sellin has some new info about meetings orchestrated by Ciarmella. His take on this would be enhanced by integrating some research about Steele and Fusion GPS. Glen Simpson’s wife is on record claiming that the “Steele Dossier” contains mostly work created by Glenn Simpson, who was obsessed with nailing Manafort. Supposedly when Manafort joined the Trump campaign, GS felt he had the perfect opportunity to get both Manafort and Trump.
Recently Simpson has claimed that Steele CAME TO FUSION GPS looking for info on Manafort et al., a month or so BEFORE Fusion hired STEELE. This begs a huge unanswered question:
Who was paying Steele to investigate this pre-Fusion? That’s where this all starts. Candidates: Oleg Deripaska (oligarch who felt Manafort ripped him off); the FBI; Brennan/CIA?
Sellin might also want to integrate activities of Alexandra Chalupa.
Excellent article.
