Ukrainian Efforts to Sabotage Trump Backfire
Politico ^ | 1/11/17 | Kenneth P. Vogel and David Stern

Posted on 01/11/2017 7:40:06 AM PST by Trumpisourlastchance

Donald Trump wasn’t the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet bloc country.

Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.

No wall to wall coverage, no hypocritical outrage in the media?

Backfire ... only because he is elected ?

Maybe the vote was influenced and hurt Trump.

I don’t know about any of this..but can anyone seriously tell me that the left hasn’t tried to hack Trump’s, or anyone close to him, emails,or whatever, for info they could use against him..?

They were either unsuccessful or didn’t find anything or else who doesn’t believe we would have heard about every day until the end of time!

Isn’t this the same Politico writer, Vogel, that was sending his articles to the DNC before they got published?

Oh, that was a fun read. The Ukrainians are shut out of influence with the Trump team due to their anti-Trump meddling. Total shunning! BTW, I have nothing against the Ukrainian people. I know a ton of ethnics here in Pittsburgh. They’re good folks.

I take that back ..i have read a little about this.

Otherwise, the bottom line is most of the players on left are dirty, and or complicit, and their are some dirty Republicans..mostly RINOs.
End the end it doesn’t matter what they are..they are harmful to America and our way of life.

Without knowing any details,of the past 20-30 years, just the fact that WAY to many politicians are filthy rich, being humble servants of the people, is a big red flag.
The fact that much of their policies are harmful to America is another red flag.
They are selling us out for personal enrichment.
They are traitors.

From https://consortiumnews.com/2015/03/20/a-family-business-of-perpetual-war/

...Confirmed to her present job in September 2013, Nuland soon undertook an extraordinary effort to promote “regime change” in Ukraine. She personally urged on business leaders and political activists to challenge elected President Viktor Yanukovych. She reminded corporate executives that the United States had invested $5 billion in their “European aspirations,” and she literally passed out cookies to anti-government protesters in Kiev’s Maidan square.

Working with other key neocons, including National Endowment for Democracy President Carl Gershman and Sen. John McCain, Nuland made clear that the United States would back a “regime change” against Yanukovych, which grew more likely as neo-Nazi and other right-wing militias poured into Kiev from western Ukraine.

In early February 2014, Nuland discussed U.S.-desired changes with U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt (himself a veteran of a “regime change” operation at the International Atomic Energy Agency, helping to install U.S. yes man Yukiya Amano as the director-general in 2009).

Nuland treated her proposed new line-up of Ukrainian officials as if she were trading baseball cards, casting aside some while valuing others. “Yats is the guy,” she said of her favorite Arseniy Yatsenyuk...

Ukraine was another key that didn't work as designed and it appears now that Soros', the Clinton's, McCain's, Obama's and all their ilk's future is getting bleaker with every slamming door, every passing day.

Praise Jesus, the only Way to salvation. The only Path to God.

Trump doesn’t use email. Assange said he had some stuff on Trump, but it wasn’t anything the public hasn’t already heard about.

I’m not surprised to hear this news but am surprised Politico reported on it.
