Ukrainian embassy confirms DNC contractor solicited Trump dirt in 2016
The Hill ^ | 05/02/2019 | John Solomon

Posted on 05/02/2019 7:08:33 PM PDT by God luvs America

The boomerang from the Democratic Party’s failed attempt to connect Donald Trump to Russia’s 2016 election meddling is picking up speed, and its flight path crosses right through Moscow’s pesky neighbor, Ukraine. That is where there is growing evidence a foreign power was asked, and in some cases tried, to help Hillary Clinton.

In its most detailed account yet, Ukraine’s embassy in Washington says a Democratic National Committee insider during the 2016 election solicited dirt on Donald Trump’s campaign chairman and even tried to enlist the country's president to help.

In written answers to questions, Ambassador Valeriy Chaly's office says DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa sought information from the Ukrainian government on Paul Manafort’s dealings inside the country, in hopes of forcing the issue before Congress.

Chalupa later tried to arrange for Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to comment on Manafort’s Russian ties on a U.S. visit during the 2016 campaign, the ambassador said.

The breaking news is that the Ukrainian embassy in Washington is now providing details about this story.
You really ought to pay attention, dude.


LOL. No new information here. Just confirmation of a previously reported DNC operative-Ukrainian embassy collusion. Nobody ever disputed the Politico article. Did you even read the article?

Chaly’s written answers mark the most direct acknowledgement by Ukraine’s government that an American tied to the Democratic Party sought the country’s help in the 2016 election, and they confirm the main points of a January 2017 story by Politico on Chalupa’s efforts.

It’s my take that things we have known for some time, will now become common knowledge to the Left as well, which will prepare the way for the worse things to follow.

Don’t get to put off by this.

I thought it was the most horrific crime in history to collude with a foreign power to interfere in our election?

That is what the left has told us for 2 years and it is all on record - democrats in congress, democrats like CNN and MSNBC, and Brennan and Clapper.

Speaking of them, why did Brennan and Clapper not step in to stop such collusion? You know they knew that the DNC was trying to enlist assistance from the Ukraine. Oh, the irony.

There is a fair amount we know and even more we can logically conclude. However, I don’t think the Ukraine has acknowledged this at the ambassador level until this news broke. That is pretty official confirmation and it is news. In order to view it in the proper context we have to interpret it through the words of the left as I said above - colluding with a foreign power to interfere in the election is the ultimate crime according to them!

I strongly suspect that the UK will make a limited admission at some point regarding their collusion in this scheme. They do not want to formally admit that they spy on our citizens for the NSA/CIA domestically and have for some time, but Trump has the advantage now and their desperate haymaker, AKA the special counsel, failed.

Reckoning Day -Megadeth
I like the way that I make you itch And all the reasons I give you to bitch And how I make you wanna scream in pain And feel your life is just a losing game

I like the way that you let me in The way you look when the walls cave in I like the way that your stomach knots And how you cry for it all to stop I like the way that you fool yourself And make believe there’s nobody else I like the way that you stand in line And beg salvation from the empty skies, empty skies

Don’t want no revenge Ain’t no payback time It ain’t no getting even Here comes the reckoning day, day, day, day

I like the things that you try to fake And your face when I see you break And that you say you will pray for me You realise you are prey for me I like the way you stay on attack No matter what, I keep coming back And how you try to hold me down But you end up driven to the ground, to the ground

Don’t want no revenge Ain’t no payback time It ain’t no getting even Here comes the reckoning

Don’t want no revenge, don’t want no revenge Ain’t no payback time, ain’t no payback time It ain’t no getting even, it ain’t no getting even Here comes the reckoning, here comes the reckoning day, day, day

Here comes the reckoning day Here comes the reckoning day Here comes the reckoning day Here comes the reckoning day Here comes the reckoning, here comes the reckoning day Oh, here it comes... It’s coming to getcha...

They are all dirt, not one good democrat amongst them.
I hope and pray that God will protect Our President and his family.

The ambassador is claiming they didn’t help the DNC apparatchik. I’m not really seeing anything here. Just a confirmation of an old story and rehash of Solomon’s good breaking news story from a month ago.

The Democrats went all in to get Trump without a backup plan because they never thought he was going to survive their onslaught. Now that the coup has failed and new investigations are beginning you’re gonna see a lot of coup conspirators stab each other in the back and start singing like canaries. This is just the beginning of the RAT implosion!

I hope you are right!!!

Although Ukraine and other democracies (many ex-socialist) worldwide may have problems with Trump and Russia, they’re probably even more uneasy with the prospect of left-wing socialists gaining power in the USA. Especially those like Bernie who love Cuba and the old Soviet Union.

This was reported in Politico like 2 years ago. Hardly breaking news and if this is being investigated NOW we are in big trouble. All these facts should have been gathered long ago and the criminal Democrats should be in the criminal justice system as I type.
Easy for you to say big mouth.

Give us some names.

Give us the names of the people YOU think WOULD have done what you think should have been done.

The circle of low lifes surrounding our President trying to take him down are from the highest levels of government FROM BOTH PARTIES.

So go ahead big shot...name names.

Paul Ryan? Mitch McConnell? Jeff Sessions? Rod Rosenstein...

You think you have all the answers. Give us the names or STFU.
