Nellie Ohr: Ukrainian Lawmaker Was Fusion GPS Source
dailycaller.com ^ | 2-6-19 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 02/06/2019 8:43:31 PM PST by NoLibZone

Nellie Ohr told lawmakers in October that one of Fusion GPS’s sources was a Ukrainian parliamentarian whose government has accused him of illegally meddling in the 2016 U.S. election. Ohr, a former Fusion GPS contractor, testified that Serhiy Leshchenko was a source for the Democrat-funded opposition research firm. Leshchenko was the leading force behind the release of the so-called “black ledger,” which accused Paul Manafort of receiving illicit payments from the Ukrainian government. The ledger led to Manafort’s firing from the Trump campaign, but its validity remains in dispute.

A member of the Ukrainian parliament accused in his home country of interfering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election was identified in congressional testimony in October as a source for opposition research firm Fusion GPS.

Nellie Ohr, a former contractor for the Washington, D.C.-based Fusion GPS, testified on Oct. 19 that Serhiy Leshchenko, a former investigative journalist turned Ukrainian lawmaker, was a source for Fusion GPS during the 2016 campaign.

Does Mueller have any interest in this story?

No, I didn’t think so.

Misdirection from Fusion GPS/Christopher Steele/HRC campaign operative to create collusion to use now discredited Moscow dossier to discredit Trump. She is in this so deep she should not be believed.

When asked about the Nellie Ohr statements, he said in his best German, “I know nothing”!

once more it’s a story of collusion to stop Trump becoming President and, when that failed, to oust him once he became President.

and it involves Clinton/FusionGPS/Steele/intel agencies etc etc etc.

why aren’t they all being raided, indicted?

end the Mueller farce.

The problem is not just Meuller, who was appointed specifically to go after Trump. Why is that two years after Trump took office, with Trump appointees now serving as all of the U.S. Attorneys, the Attorney General, and the head of the FBI, the Justice Department still refuses to investigate and prosecute the obvious, flagrant, and undeniable collusion between the Democrats and foreign governments?

The only way that Hillary will ever face prosecution is if she is caught on live TV wearing blackface, ranting about “those stupid niggers,” while in bed with a naked live girl, a naked dead boy, and half of the U.S.treasury stuffed in her pants.

The Ukranian court system has already ruled that Leshchenko interfered in the U.S. election:

A Kyiv court said that a Ukrainian lawmaker and a top anticorruption official’s decision in 2016 to publish documents linked to President Donald Trump’s then-campaign chairman amounted to interference in the U.S. presidential election.

The December 11 finding came in response to a complaint filed by another Ukrainian lawmaker, who alleged that Serhiy Leshchenko and Artem Sytnyk illegally released the documents in August 2016, showing payments by a Ukrainian political party to Trump’s then-campaign chairman, Paul Manafort.

The documents, excerpts from a secret ledger of payments by the Party of Regions, led to Manafort being fired by Trump’s election campaign.

The Kyiv court said that the documents published by Leshchenko and Sytnyk were part of an ongoing pretrial investigation in Ukraine into the operations of the pro-Russian Party of Regions. The party’s head had been President Viktor Yanukovych until he fled the country amid mass protests two years earlier.

The court said the publication of the so-called “black ledger” documents “led to interference in the electoral processes of the United States in 2016 and harmed the interests of Ukraine as a state.”

Because America is dead.

What Hillary has gotten away with proves that the experiment is over.

If Trump is removed I am leaving the US.

Heh.

Eventually, when it all winds down to the end of the spin, there’ll be no source. It was all made up from whole cloth from start to finish and everyone involved knew it.

"If Trump is removed I am leaving the US."

Thank you.

I think we'd all rather know now that you will run rather than fight as opposed to later.

I would ask kindly that, once you arrive at your destination, please tell us where it is and what place is better.

I can't think of one, so I'd really like to know what's better than our country?

There is never a good time for cowardice. I appreciate your candor.

No reasonable prosecutor would ever prosecute that.

That includes the gang of 8. It is mind boggling to contemplate what has been, and still is, going on.

Clinton Foundation
Omidyar Groups
Soros Open Society
Biden and his kids were all making money off of, and influencing revolution in Ukraine.

The Democrat corruption is deep and obvious, yet no in DC dates to stand against it.

Hillary's opposition research team at Fusion GPS/Orbis Business Intelligence, as well as some Ukranian lobbyists working on Hillary's campaign, prominently Alexandra Chalupa.
