"The husband of a Miami Democrat hoping to unseat U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo this November has financial ties to an Eastern European oligarch dogged by allegations of contract killings and embezzlement.
Public records show that Debbie Mucarsel-Powell’s husband, Robert Powell, spent much of the last 10 years as general counsel for companies owned at least in part by Igor Kolomoisky, a wealthy Ukrainian businessman involved in banking and mining. In federal financial disclosures, Mucarsel-Powell reported that her husband of 15 years earned most of their household income during the previous two years — at least $695,000 — from a ferroalloys trading corporation associated with Kolomoisky."
Congress candidate’s husband has financial ties to scandal-plagued Ukrainian oligarch (2018)
"Last fall, something funny happened in Washington: A pair of American lobbyists put on a fake congressional hearing in the basement of the Capitol, accusing a former Ukrainian central banker of odious corruption. A Ukrainian TV station broadcast the event there, claiming it was evidence that the United States Congress was investigating the accusations (they weren’t). The apparent sponsor of the hearing was a Ukrainian oligarch named Ihor Kolomoisky, whose bank was nationalized by the banker. Kolomoisky, who sicced his own private army on the Russians after they invaded eastern Ukraine, has been accused of sponsoring contract killings.
Now, there’s another apparent connection between the Kolomoisky and American politics. A number of businesses linked to the oligarch have hired the attorney Robert Powell, the husband of Democratic House of Representatives candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. Just one of those firms paid Powell at least $700,000 over two years, according to public records."
Shady Oligarch’s Firm Paid Dem Candidate’s Husband $700,000 (2018)
a Ukrainian oligarch who has allegedly been “accused of ordering contract killings.”...
Funny, zillions of dollars being kicked back to american dems by a broke country.
I have the terrible feeling WE paid for these kickbacks in the form of US funding of Ukraine.
Ping.
More and more this impeachment seems to be about Democrats and their corruption than anything else.
This will never be reported by the Ministry of Propaganda.
“ reportedly took $700,000 from firms connected to a Ukrainian oligarch who has allegedly been “accused of ordering contract killings.””
And the aberration is?
We should identify the most corrupt counties in the world and search their records for democrats on the take.
Hillary, y’know, doesn’t like other, y’know, people muscling in, y’know, on her gig, y’know.
Why are rich and corrupt Russians and Ukrainians with great political influence called “oligarchs”, but similar rich, influential, and corrupt Americans are not?
For example, why is Soros (a US citizen) not considered an oligarch?
Are their any Democrats in Congress who *don’t* have family members acting as bagmen for payoffs from Ukraine? Actually, Tulsi is probably one notable exception, which is why Dems and their agents in the MSM excoriate her. They see her as another threat to their taxpayer funded gravy train of “foreign aid”.
