A Political Chernobyl
American Spectator ^ | May 13, 2019 | Scott McKay

Ukrainian connections to Joe Biden and the DNC underscore the sleaze of the Obama swamp.

I t appears that events taking place in Ukraine, both in the past and present, are increasingly reaching the notice of the American people. At least, they did last week.

After all, Monday night saw the debut of HBO’s miniseries Chernobyl, a masterful drama based on the true story of the 1986 nuclear disaster at the power plant in that Ukrainian city and the attempts by the Soviet government in control at the time to cover up the scope and responsibility for the deadly tragedy. Chernobyl, at least so far, is a brutal takedown of the lies and incompetence of the communist government of the USSR — best exemplified in a scene starring venerable British actor Donald Sumpter, playing a local communist party apparatchik summoned to a meeting to discuss the explosion at the power plant who invokes communist doctrine as to the supremacy of the state as a justification for sealing off the city of Pripyat and cutting communications to it while its citizens are soaked in radiation.

It appears that the Obama administration was involved in serious corruption in Ukraine in 2016.

Sworn statements from two Ukrainian officials admitting that their agency tried to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election in favor of Hillary Clinton. The effort included leaking an alleged ledger showing payments to then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort;

• Contacts between Democratic figures in Washington and Ukrainian officials that involved passing along dirt on Donald Trump.

Something else involving Ukraine happened in 2016. That was the year Biden pressured then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, by threatening to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees, to fire that country’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. And why did he do that? Because Shokin was investigating a Ukrainian natural gas company named Burisma Holdings over some $3 billion in cash which may have been misappropriated and moved out of Ukraine and into U.S. accounts tied to Hunter Biden, the former vice president’s son.

If they are paying Biden’s family that kind of money (and Biden is just a VP with no real power) and the Chinese are passing a billion along to him too...

What is Obama’s cut? Or does he have his own separate pot of money?

The whole anti-Trump campaign from the beginning to after the elections is nothing but the Ukrainization of the United States. That is exactly how politic is done there. You can thank Hillary for it.

Crap like this did not begin w/sh*thead O. Goes on on both sides of the aisle.

That’s all most of them care about and why the country goes to pot (which is now a literal statement).

Rest assured that there are very, very, fat bank accounts for Obama in several Muslim nations where it's nearly impossible for any infidel to get information to investigate any crime.

Highly improper behavior by Biden, but the story is fake too.

Bursima is a relatively small company and the claimed 3 billion is way way way out of their league.

That’s what it is. We live in a time of fake news and everyone is free to pick what they like. Truth be damned!

Slightly off topic: I haven’t seen the show myself, but I read a positive review. The reviewer said he was first afraid that the show will make people scared of the nuclear power, but instead it showed how socialism sucks.
