BACKSTORY Ukraine Tried to Tip the 2016 Trump/Hillary Election in Clinton’s Favor
Ukraine intervened for Hillary in favor of its own national interests
Ukranians blithely suggested “electors of the US electoral college defect from Trump.”
While Trump was lambasted for having a shady “elector scheme.”

EDITED—Politico reported the Ukrainian Government dedicatedly worked to aid Hillary Clinton’s
2016 presidential bid. The actions taken by Ukranian government officials included
<><>disseminating false documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption
<><>first announcing they were investigating the matter,
<><>then nervously backing away after Trump defeated Hillary
<><>helping Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.
The supposedly incriminating government documents Ukraine brought forth implicated Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, who once worked as an adviser for now-ousted Ukrainian President Viktor F. Yanukovych.
However, the concerns that the Ukranian documents raised weren’t over any quasi-Russian ties the partisan MSM rigorously reported, pushing this narrative 24/7. Rather, the dubious documents raised question about “declared income” that only the Ukraine government was ostensibly privy to WRT Manafort.
The Podesta Group, a notorious lobbying firm co-founded by Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta, also conducted work for the Ukranian president Yanukovych but was studiously ignored. The Ukranian narrative not only painted Trump as pro-Russian, but also provided the Clinton campaign with a wholly invented “Trump smear campaign” which helpfully reaffirmed Ukraine’s stance “against Russia” and which earned Ukraine billions in US tax dollars.
It was in Ukraine’s best interest to tilt the election in support of Clinton, b/c she strongly advocated for providing Ukraine with billions of US tax dollars in military aid and financial support in order “to fight” Russian separatists then-operating in the Ukraine. Which presents the more recent US financed “Russian invasion of Ukraine” in an entirely new light.
Politico noted that Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American working as a consultant for DNC, met with top Ukrainian Officials in Washington D.C. about “forcing” Manafort’s resignation with the goal of cementing the Ukraine/Hillary narrative that Trump was “connected” to Russia.
Manafort was subsequently jailed and slapped into solitary confinement due to Ukranian efforts.
Both Ukranians, Chalupa, and her sister Andrea, have strongly pushed the anti-Russian narrative on social media.
Shockingly, the Ukranian sisters also advocated that the state electors of “the US electoral college defect from Trump.” The Chalupas’ outrageous elector gambit was ignored but Trump was said to have an “elector scheme.”
The report added, “Politico’s investigation found evidence of Ukrainian government involvement in the Trump/Hillary 2016 race strains diplomatic protocol dictating that governments refrain from engaging in one another’s elections.”
In addition to the Chalupas, the co-founder and CTO of Crowdstrike, the cyber security firm that the DNC hired to investigate the alleged hacks, Dmitri Alperovitch, also serves as a senior fellow to the Washington-based think tank Atlantic Council, which is an openly anti-Russian organization.
The Atlantic Council is funded by Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, who is one of the most prolific donors to the Clinton Foundation. The DNC denied multiple requests from the FBI to access their servers, effectively forcing the FBI to rely on CrowdStrike’s assessment of the hacks.
The Ukranian-centered Atlantic Council has propagated anti-Russian sentiment and advocated for bolstering NATO forces in anticipation of a Ukranian military conflict with Russia long before Wikileaks released emails from the DNC and Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta.
In 2013, the Atlantic Council awarded Hillary Clinton its Distinguished International Leadership Award. In 2014, the Ukranian-biased Atlantic Council hosted one of several events with former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who took over after pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych’s 2014 removal.
In August 2015, Politico was apparently cued to report that “Donald Trump’s favorable rhetoric to Russia was concerning to Ukraine.” The article stated, “Russia wants Trump for U.S. president; Ukraine is terrified by Trump and prefers Hillary Clinton.”
In response to their preferred candidate losing the election, Ukrainian officials were now scrambling to revert from their lobbying for Hillary Clinton and the DNC.
<><>Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko rushed to sign a $50,000-a-month contract with a US lobbying firm to set up meetings with US officials in the new Trump administration.
<><>Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, who paid Hillary to come to Ukraine for a speech, now sang a different tune and wrote an WSJ op-ed Dec 29 in which he argued that Ukraine needs “to make compromises” to establish peace with Russia.
<><>Post-election, Ukranian Pinchuk donated to Trump’s charity to try to gain the same favor and access that his donations to the “Clinton Foundation” afforded him.
<><>“The sole reason the Victor Pinchuk Foundation has reached out to President-elect Trump—as well as other world leaders—has been to promote strengthened and enduring ties between Ukraine and the West,” a spokeswoman for the Pinchuk foundation told ABC News with a straight face.
While past elections in Ukraine have been viewed as proxy battles between the US and Russia, it appears that the 2016 US presidential election faced influence from Ukraine—a beneficiary of billions of US tax dollars—attempting to influence an election outcome biased for Ukraine’s national interests, and its hungering after US foreign aid from 2016 up to and including the “Russian invasion, and into its 2023 beg-a-thons for US dollars.
they’re clearly no longer having much luck at it overseas...they’re bound to try their hand at it right here at home
Ya think?
This is what happens when you try to run an empire without an emperor.
Gee Whiz the US Government, using Glorious "Regime Change" against Legacy Americans and the US Constitution, ... Who Woudda Thunk It?
so- when a person tells a group of people “Go peacefully protest” so and so- and they march down and a few scumbag infiltrators DISOBEY the order and get violent, Th3 person who SPECIFICALLY SAID to be peaceful and simply protest is charged with “Insurrection” DESPITE there not being an actual insurrection?
By these standards, we can charge the left with all kinds of false crap- just make it up off the top of our heads- doesn’t matter what the charge- just insist that it’s true and that they committed crimes and need to be imprisoned for years awaiting trials
“If Trump had really led a “coup,” he would have seized the means of communication (i.e., the legacy media and social media) and secured the support of high-level military and intelligence officials. This “coup” would have involved attempts to take political prisoners and to control major civil society institutions.”
And who did that? And then flooded the streets with two divisions worth of national guard? The coup did… and according to Milley, opened gave him direct firm unequivocal orders to lock down DC with soldiers. Last I checked a veep has no such authority. He didn’t bother to dial to the president for 5 days. And then claims he spoke to him sternly.
Pence, Milley, and Pelosi overthrew the government in a stealth 25th.
It was a color revolution and we are ruled over an illegal Junta in DC.
“The idea of imprisoning political rivals or preventing candidates from running is something Democrats justifiably condemned seven years ago when Trump threatened to jail his opponent Hillary Clinton”
No… Trump stated that her bribery corruption and selling information for the Clinton foundation and deleting emails under subpoena was a crime and she should be locked up for that.
Is the standard now that candidates are immune from prosecution for willful criminal conduct?
We need a whole lot of very public hangings.

I hope Trump invokes the RICO act to persecute the perpetrators of the 2020 election steal. Most importantly I hope Trump finds out who ordered the counting to be stopped at 10 PM in the swing states. Who ordered that action? That’s Mr. Big. At the end of the day we will find that the conspirators were all agents of Red China.
This is why the GOP should have kept the J6 Committee open and simply taken control of the majority chair, invite Sund to testify, invite his successor Yolanda Ungabunga to testify, 'invite' Pelosi to testify; then use their testimony to force an invest of the saboteurs present on J6. All hell would have broken loose.
The only reason it didn't happen is because it would have directly vindicated President Trump, and compelled the House to overturn the second impeachment. Which, btw, was much promised regardless and has yet to be put before the House.
“However false and inflammatory?” Alex?
