Biden, Obama Officials Stood to Gain From Ukraine Influence
The Epoch Times ^ | 17-05-19 | JEFF CARLSON

As Ukraine underwent dramatic changes in 2014, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden played a critical role in the Obama administration’s involvement in the revolution that ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. Following the revolution, Biden would use his influence to help force the creation of the troubled National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU). Notably, during the 2016 election campaign, information leaked from NABU about Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort that helped to create the false narrative that Trump colluded with Russia to win the election. Biden also would use the threat of withholding $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees to pressure Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire the prosecutor general. At the time, the prosecutor had been investigating Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas giant that had appointed Biden’s son, Hunter, as a board member.

They overthrew the legitimate elected government in order to loot the country.

They tried to do the same to Russia, but failed when their goals became obvious, which is why the mutual hate between the Deep State and that country is completely irreconcilable.

Schemes like this would go a long way to answering how Obama & Biden amassed so much wealth while in “public service”.

Don’t forget, Hillary had Uranium One.

It’s a scam-a-minute with this crowd.

Kind of explain’s Hillary’s quote:

The story (and politics) of the Ukraine is hopelessly complicated. It is too complicated for soundbites and there does not appear to be any innocent party.

The simplest point is this - “why would the son of a sitting vice-president of the US be awarded such a lucrative position and investments in his private company while the vice-president is involved in sensitive negotiations and influencing the path of the Ukraine?”

This is the scandal. Solomon and others see the corruption, but by trying to explain it in detail when there are no true white hats involved they lose sight of the ultimate scheme - “pay to play”. Pay to play with US tax money at stake.

Hunter Biden flew to the Ukraine on Air Force 2 just as he flew to China. He came back with very lucrative contracts and pledges for future revenue both times. This occurred when his father, who he accompanied, was engaged in negotiations.

Anyone with two brain cells can see the problem with this..... by trying to explain all the players and nuances of Ukrainian politics they are destroying the obvious story.

It was wrong period. Just my .02

Can’t be true as Obama said there wasn’t one scandal in his 8 years of presidency.

And Biden Jr.’s partner visited Biden Sr. in Obama’s White Hut shortly before joining that Ukrainian gas board. Obvious payoff for the loan guarantees. It always was about the loan cash and Schengen visas for the Ukrainians. Once they got that all was good.

They (the Obama Regime and the modern Globalist Left) overthrew the legitimate elected (Ukrainian) government in order to loot the country.

They (the American/European Socialist Left Crony Capitalists) previously tried to do the same to Russia (by corrupting Yeltsin), but failed when their goals became obvious, which is why the mutual hate between the Deep State and that country is completely irreconcilable.

These two sentences are a very important foundational understanding for the current Ukrainian situation.

I added a little to clarify the players, I hope it is acceptable.

It is quite acceptable, I certainly wouldn’t want to blame the USA as a nation for the rogue acts of private parties hijacking our government, not when the nation properly responded by sending in someone tough to clean things up.

Nor would I, and I agree that President Trump is standing strong against entirely False Accusations, Fake News and False Flag operations entirely created and funded by these same players led by Hillary Clinton.

The road back is long and hard, MAGA.
