Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton have built a sprawling network of powerful friends around the globe, one that could aid Mrs. Clinton’s chances were she to seek the presidency. But those relationships often come with intersecting interests and political complications; few people illustrate that more vividly than the Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk.

Is anyone else here familiar with Mr. Pinchuk? This is another interesting highlight on Dem/RINO connections with Ukraine, Russia, et al.

Per the article

Since 2006, Mr. Pinchuk has donated roughly $13.1 million to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation. Mr. Clinton attends Mr. Pinchuk’s annual conferences in the resort city of Yalta, Ukraine, and Mr. Pinchuk attended the former president’s 65th birthday party in Los Angeles.

Mr. Schoen had been on a $40,000-per-month retainer as an adviser to Mr. Pinchuk since 2000. In 2011, Mr. Schoen, who had never previously done any lobbying, registered as a lobbyist for him to set up meetings with Washington officials to discuss the political crisis in Ukraine.

The meetings Mr. Schoen scheduled were almost exclusively with senior officials at Mrs. Clinton’s State Department.

Mr. Schoen arranged roughly a dozen meetings with State Department officials from September 2011 to November 2012 on behalf of or with Mr. Pinchuk. At times those meetings overlapped with Mr. Pinchuk’s other involvements with the Clintons. For instance, in 2012, Mr. Pinchuk took a break from the Clinton Global Initiative to meet upstairs in a hotel suite with Melanne Verveer, a close aide to Mrs. Clinton and ambassador at large for global women’s issues at the State Department.

Let's play connect the dots....ready?

PINCHUK DONATED $29 MILLION TO THE CLINTON FOUNDATION-----he's THAT altruistic (cackle).

September 2013 -- Clinton Foundation mega-donor, Viktor Pinchuk introes Hillary Clinton paid speech at one of his events
(cough) promoting Ukrainian membership in the European Union, the break with Russia, and regime change in Kiev and Moscow.

POINTS TO PONDER Was Viktor Pinchuk the Oligarch that the fired Ukrainian prosecutor was investigating?
WRT a $5 billion IMF theft, being investigated simultaneously with Hunter Bidens $3 million salary?

SALIENT POINT: The fired Ukrainian prosecutor was investigating the $5 billion IMF money theft;
he was fired when Joe Biden twisted his arm for investigating (cough) Hunter Biden's Burisma appointment.

HMMMMMMM....Could be Obama was peeved that Hunter only got $3 million of the missing IMF $5 billion?

Or was Hunter----with the expensive cocaine habit-----holding out?

Chelsea Clinton and Viktor Pinchuk who donated $29 million to Clinton Foundation in Kiev, Ukraine 8/21/16.

Glenn Beck did an extensive and source documented Ukrainian timeline last night. I did not hear of this guy until last night.
Will be looking at source documents later... Let’s just say Chalupa.
Glenn missed one thing.. which may not be a thing... check out the gas pipelines in Syria and Ukraine... am I seeing a connection?
Would love to hear from a Ukrainian or Syrian expat.
With all of those pipelines, there has to be some American ingenuity on the ground.

Did the rich Ukrainians acquire their major assets under Russian friendly Ukrainian leaders?

Are the rich Ukrainians sympathetic to Russia?

Would they do Putin a favor if asked?
