If Ukraine gave more money to the Clinton Foundation than any nation on earth, which planet is Ukraine on?
Cmon Preezee, LOCK HER UP YESTERDAY!
(Soros/Ukraine Connection, Obama, American taxpayer dollars):
While the 2016 presidential race was raging in America, Ukrainian prosecutors ran into some unexpectedly strong headwinds as they pursued an investigation into the activities of a nonprofit in their homeland known as the Anti-Corruption Action Centre (AntAC).
The focus on AntAC — whose youthful street activists famously wore “Ukraine F*&k Corruption” T-shirts — was part of a larger probe by Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office into whether $4.4 million in U.S. funds to fight corruption inside the former Soviet republic had been improperly diverted.
The prosecutors soon would learn the resistance they faced was blowing directly from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, where the Obama administration took the rare step of trying to press the Ukrainian government to back off its investigation of both the U.S. aid and the group.
“The investigation into the Anti-Corruption Action Center (sic), based on the assistance they have received from us, is similarly misplaced,” then-embassy Charge d’ Affaires George Kent wrote the prosecutor’s office in April 2016 in a letter that also argued U.S. officials had no concerns about how the U.S. aid had been spent. At the time, the nation’s prosecutor general had just been fired, under pressure from the United States, and a permanent replacement had not been named.
A few months later, Yuri Lutsenko, widely regarded as a hero in the West for spending two years in prison after fighting Russian aggression in his country, was named prosecutor general and invited to meet new U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.
Lutsenko told me he was stunned when the ambassador “gave me a list of people whom we should not prosecute.” The list included a founder of the AntAC group and two members of Parliament who vocally supported the group’s anti-corruption reform agenda, according to a source directly familiar with the meeting.
It turns out the group that Ukrainian law enforcement was probing was co-funded by the Obama administration and liberal mega-donor George Soros. And it was collaborating with the FBI agents investigating then-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort’s business activities with pro-Russian figures in Ukraine.
The implied message to Ukraine’s prosecutors was clear: Don’t target AntAC in the middle of an America presidential election in which Soros was backing Hillary Clinton to succeed another Soros favorite, Barack Obama, Ukrainian officials said.
“We ran right into a buzzsaw and we got bloodied,” a senior Ukrainian official told me.
Lutsenko suggested the embassy applied pressure because it did not want Americans to see who was being funded with its tax dollars. “At the time, Ms. Ambassador thought our interviews of the Ukrainian citizens, of the Ukrainian civil servants who were frequent visitors in the U.S. Embassy, could cast a shadow on that anti-corruption policy,” he said. State officials told me privately they wanted Ukraine prosecutors to back off AntAC because they feared the investigation was simply retribution for the group’s high-profile efforts to force anti-corruption reforms inside Ukraine, some of which took authorities and prestige from the Prosecutor General’s Office.
But it was an unusual intervention, the officials acknowledged. “We’re not normally in the business of telling a country’s police force who they can and can’t pursue, unless it involves an American citizen we think is wrongly accused,” one official said.
In the end, no action was taken against AntAC and it remains thriving today.
Odd... What was Soros really us to?
Fricking incredible.
No wonder the elite libs in DC then and now are going ballistic.
This was real collusion pre and post elections, not the Russia/Russia bs.
that right there should be illegal. People donate to campaigns to elect the individual and the party - at a certain point in time. Not to fund future private foundations created when a politician 'retires'. It's too pay-for-play. And it's not like Ryan is in a low-profile job at the moment and has no contacts to fund a foundation. REturn the money to the party and let the politician raise his own foundation funds for people who want to support a foundation. BUT, if Ryan is doing it, he's not the first or last, it's just another ringing bell nobody wants to hear.
As to corruption and foreign donations, it's one of the major steps in cleaning up the smarmy swamp of kickbacks and payoffs called DC. President Trump is doing the right thing by tugging at the curtain and exposing recipients and is one of the very few presidents with the guts to do it. Damn, I love that guy.

The craziest thing is that it is known the Clintons funnel foreign money to the “foundation” - and completely ignore it, instead pursuing fake news stories attacking countries for “stealing elections” here.
Trump beat the politicians (in both parties) that the wealthy elites had done business with for decades - and THAT is what is driving this. Note who lines up on each side...
Wellll, welllll, welllll.....
Schweizer says the Bidens' China dealings are even worse. They were involved in selling dual-use assets.....
ie, military technology....... to China that must have "high level" US government approval. .
Hmmmmmm........"high-level" govt approval? Not higher than Obama, I presume.
====================================
Let's understand, a VP is not a free agent....all of his activities are overseen by his boss, the president.
Joe Biden didnt just get up and tell the story about his billion dollar Ukraine adventure WITHOUT Obama okaying it.
“Let’s understand, a VP is not a free agent....all of his activities are overseen by his boss, the president.

Joe and his son are becoming real embarrassments to the Clintons, Obama’s and other deep staters.
“At the time, Ms. Ambassador thought our interviews of the Ukrainian citizens, of the Ukrainian civil servants who were frequent visitors in the U.S. Embassy, could cast a shadow on that anti-corruption policy,”
“Ukrainian Civil Servants” is code for “mobsters”, I case anyone missed that.

That is very interesting, because I was just thinking while driving home this evening that it would be quite helpful to Pres. Trump, and the USA too, if he could take down a high level corrupt Pubbie figure along with some Dems.
God Knows he has a lot of RINO'S and CINO'S to pick from.....
it would be best if he picked them off slowly...strategically...one at a time.....AFTER he owns the Battle Field.....
IMHO...I think he has Mittens in his sights for his 1st confirmed Kill though...
Odd how the New York Times and Washington Post don't care... /s
Why were we giving them money if they had money to donate to the Clinton Slush Fund?
