The boomerang from the Democratic Partys failed attempt to connect Donald Trump to Russias 2016 election meddling is picking up speed, and its flight path crosses right through Moscows 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, Ukraines embassy in Washington says a Democratic National Committee insider during the 2016 election solicited dirt on Donald Trumps 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 Manaforts 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 Manaforts Russian ties on a U.S. visit during the 2016 campaign, the ambassador said.

According to Sundance, and I think he's on the mark, the Dirty Dossier and Crossfire Hurricane
WAS the insurance policy. And the messaging between the lovers confirms that as the back-up plan if you think about it.
Obongo's mutts were using NSA intercepts for years and years to keep track of the Republicans and any potential political threats.........up until April 2016 when the FISA judge and the Admiral got wise to their games and shut it down for the contractors anyway. Hence, they needed another means via the FISA warrants against Carter Page which allowed them to carry on spying on Trump and the campaign via the two hops rule.
Was there more going on via Brennan and the FIBs here and there, including the Brits, Aussies, Ukraine etc? Of course, but the loss of their free access to the NSA unmasking in April 2016 inspired them to find a different means to skin the same cat.

Although Ukraine and other democracies (many ex-socialist) worldwide may have problems with Trump and Russia, theyre 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.
They really don’t care about that. They just want Uncle Sam’s cash/loan guarantees/visa waivers/whatever.

I suspect this is the real reason the NSA made a big production of a database dump shortly after Trump won. It was to purge their system of evidence of Obama’s abuses.

To: dowcaet
They had three attempts. This was their back up of a back up plan
1. illegal's voting as we seen in California switched a number of republican strong holds.
2. Spying to find some dirt.
3. They found no dirt so they made one.

"sessions was swamp 100%."
except if they didn't let Mueller do his dirty work the dems might have gotten him on obstruction. It's a cetch 22 they had him in.

HAS been investigated.....JUSTICE arriving It is true that the wheels of Justice turn slowly.
The wheels of injustice on the other hand, travel at the speed of the 24x7 news cycle, as we've seen over the last 2.5 years.
There's another saying: A lie gets half-way around the world while the truth is getting its pants on.
The truth just got its pants on.

Remember Mad Maxine H20’s boast years ago of Obama’s great intel gathering that dwarfed all things political?
Is the spying on Americans what she referenced?

In my opinion, there is no greater punishment for Hillary than being irrelevant in the circles she’s spent her whole adult life trying to become the historical leader of.

“Remember Mad Maxine H20s boast years ago of Obamas great intel gathering that dwarfed all things political?”
Yes. Makes me wonder how she came to know this, who he confided in, and what he said to them about why he felt justified to do this.

But for, the inner strength, good nature and sheer determination of our valiant President Trump, none of these new revelations would have seen the light of day or would have mattered anyway.
God bless President Trump for never backing down and for always performing his presidential duties in spite of 24/7 hostility from the Democrats, their media cohorts, and the host of backstabbers, quislings and traitors in his own party.
I think we should "thank God" for keeping watch over our President and for giving him the wisdom and strength to successfully battle all the evil forces.
I pray we all live long enough to see the evildoers exposed, indicted and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Hello Hillary, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Lynch, Holder, Obammie, Rhodes, ValJar, Adam Schitt, McCabe, Peter & Lisa, Nellie & Bruce Ohr, et al
I pray for President Trump's reelection in 2020 and for House and Senate Conservative majorities. President Trump and our Republic merit no less.
#MAGA #KAG Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Wonderfully said, heartfelt and I surely agree!
He is continually in my prayers......and his family and administration
I thank God for him constantly......and I know we will see, are seeing JUSTICE!!!!!!
I contrast him with Stephen Moore who just passed on joining the Presidents team.....
....he said he couldnt take the personal hit job ......maybe 3 months worth
I just wanted to grab him by the lapels and say.....Our President has taken this for 4 years, 24/7!!!!!!!!!!.....since the moment he declared.
Moore said the President wanted him to hold fast.......but bless his heart I guess Moore just doesnt have the mettle, no matter his fine qualifications to do the job!!!
I thank God for Donald Trumpss indomitable spirit of never giving up!
God bless the man!!!!!

They are all dirt, not one good democrat amongst them, they all belong in Gitmo...along with the Republican RINOs like Rat Romney and his bunch, including Mike Lee, he is now Rat Romney's butt boy...
On this I WHOLE-HEARTEDLY DISAGREE!
The troubles in America, today, are because we put people in jail, but in just a few short years another POS does something more outrageous than the first guy! His actions make the first POS look like a pure-as-driven-snow, choir boy so the public stops looking at the first perp as a POS. People forget that the first perp tried to thwart the US Constitution or defrauded our votes - SERIOUS TREASONOUS AND TRAITOROUS actions - but they aren't as bad as the NEW corrupt treasonous actions.
Now that we forgot the seriousness of the crimes, we let that first perp out and he continues on without a glitch, because evil, corrupt people will continue to be evil and corrupt! And he will be back supporting, wheeling & dealing in the backrooms of other corrupt politicians!
We need to bring back the damn hangman's noose, put these treasonous, traitorous bass turds neck in it and show the next line of evil, corrupt POS politicians that we are done playing games! This BS needs to end and the best way to make it end is at the end of a tightly tied noose!
