BREAKING NEWS: White House has launched an investigation into collusion between Ukraine and the DNC

I am critical, but I’m still hopeful as well.
One whole year remains in this term.
Hopefully, Mr. Trump will get four more to complete his ‘To Do’ list. He is a one in a million person who can still function at all, while surrounded by all those snakes and crocodiles on both sides of the swamp. Most people would be paralyzed with worry and frustration. I know I would be.

White House doesn’t do investigations

AND THIS Joe was neck-deep in the “stimulus” money distribution. Where is the full accounting of where that all went.

Missing in Action: Stimulus Sheriff Joe Biden
By Michelle Malkin - October 10, 2012
Copyright 2012, Creators Syndicate Inc.

Remember when President Obama bragged about Joe Biden's fiscal discipline creds in 2009? "To you, he's Mr. Vice President, but around the White House, we call him the Sheriff," Obama warned government employees. "Because if you're misusing taxpayer money, you'll have to answer to him." Fast-forward to 2012. Call in the search teams. Since being appointed the nation's stimulus spending cop, Sheriff Joe has taken a permanent donut break. He's AWOL on oversight. In fact, he's been bubble-wrapped, boxed and kept completely out of sight. The garrulous gaffe machine hasn't sat down for a national media interview in five months.

The Democrats' trillion-dollar "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," however, keeps piling up waste, failure, fraud and debt. Who benefited most? Big government cronies. According to Investor's Business Daily this week, a new analysis by Ohio State University economics professor Bill Dupor reported that "(m)ore than three-quarters of the jobs created or saved by President Obama's economic stimulus in the first year were in government."

Dupor and another colleague had earlier concluded that the porkulus was a predictable jobs-killer that crowded out non-government jobs with make-work public jobs and programs. Indeed, the massive wealth redistribution scheme "destroyed/forestalled roughly one million private sector jobs" by siphoning tax dollars "to offset state revenue shortfalls and Medicaid increases rather than boost private sector employment."

Will this Keynesian wreckage come up during Thursday night's vice presidential debate? It should be a centerpiece of domestic policy discussion. Nowhere is the gulf between Obama/Biden rhetoric and reality on jobs wider. Remember: Obama's Ivy League eggheads behind the stimulus promised that "(m)ore than 90 percent of the jobs created are likely to be in the private sector." These are the same feckless economic advisers who infamously vowed that the stimulus would keep unemployment below 8 percent -- and that unemployment would drop below 6 percent sometime this year. Sheriff Joe rebuked the "naysayers" who decried the behemoth stimulus program's waste, fraud and abuse. "You know what? They were wrong," he crowed.

But Biden was radio silent about the nearly 4,000 stimulus recipients who received $24 billion in Recovery Act funds -- while owing more than $750 million in unpaid corporate, payroll and other taxes. (Cash for Tax Cheats, anyone?)

He had nothing to say about the $6 billion in stimulus energy credits for homeowners that went to nearly a third of credit-claimers who had no record of homeownership, including minors and prisoners.

And the $530 million dumped into the profligate Detroit public schools for laptops and other computer equipment that have had little, if any, measurable academic benefits. And the whopping $6.7 million cost per job under the $50 billion stimulus-funded green energy loan program -- which funded politically connected but now bankrupt solar firms Solyndra ($535 million), Abound Solar ($400 million), Beacon Power ($43 million), A123 ($250 million) and Ener1 ($119 million).

And the $1 million in stimulus cash that went to Big Bird and Sesame Street "to promote healthy eating," which created a theoretical "1.47" jobs. (As Sean Higgins of The Examiner noted, "(T)hat comes out to about $726,000 per job created.")

And the hundreds of millions in stimulus money steered to General Services Administrations junkets in Las Vegas and Hawaii, ghost congressional districts, dead people, infrastructure to nowhere and ubiquitous stimulus propaganda road signs stamped with the shovel-ready logo.

Of course, there's no example of unfettered stimulus squandering more fitting than the one named after Keystone Fiscal Kop Joe Biden himself. Government-funded Amtrak's Wilmington, Del., station raked in $20 million in "recovery" money after heavy personal lobbying by the state's most prominent customer and cheerleader. In return, the station (which came in $6 million over budget, according to The Washington Times) renamed its facility after Biden. Bloated costs. Crony political narcissism. Glaring conflicts of interest. Monumental waste. This is the Obama/Biden stimulus legacy bequeathed to our children and their grandchildren. Sheriff Joe and his plundering boss need to be run out of town on a rail.

[pepsionice]

It’s funny on this ‘boomerang-effect’. Joe Biden probably wasn’t inside the bubble on the collusion planning....but his son was a part of the situation. Hillary Clinton probably was never told of the whole plan, yet campaign funding of hers went to pay for the dossier. From the insider staff around President Obama, there’s probably at least ten people who knew and participated in this....yet they never told their ‘boss’?

Wasn’t Sniffer Biden’s son involved in Ukraine dealings? It could interesting for the demonrats.

[monkeyshine]

Boomerang is a good enough nickname. I was thinking perhaps ‘crossfire ricochet’ or ‘hurricane backfire’ because this is all self-inflicted.

I really can’t understand why they escalated this nonsense so intently. Once Hillary lost, they could have simply stood down.

But we all now know the entire charade was pure projection: There was no “Russian Collusion with Trump”, they were just projecting the DOJ/FBI/CIA/WH Collusion with Hillary/DNC (with assists from foreign intel agencies). The Russians might have tried to interfere in the elections, but based on the evidence their interference pales in comparison to the interference by the Obama WH and its various allies and agency and department heads.

The Russian facebook ads and their sponsoring of various protests (which, btw, they took both sides - they didn’t seem to try to pick a winner but to just sew division and acrimony) was small potatoes compared to the sedition of these conspirators. HRC’s dirty “irredeemable deplorable” campaign, the “Russia-Collusion” conspirators, and the Democratic collusion agitators have sewn more division and acrimony in this country than the Russians could have ever dreamed of. It makes you wonder if in fact they are the real Russian colluders.

[Sa-teef]

The White House?

---------------

Sounds like disinformation pushed by fake news admitting the obvious, the Russians/Ukrainians were meddling in the election, and suggesting the investigation is political in nature. Many of the high ranking diplomats at the US Embassy were bad actors in the Ukraine and the FIB had a sizable office there, doing politically motivated dirty tricks for the Obongo admin and DNC.

Biden was using his position for enriching his family. He has already been captured on video bragging about it.

From the Washington Post, May 11, 2019

Giuliani said he was calling off the trip because there were “enemies” of Trump on the team of Zelensky, a comedian with no previous political experience who toppled President Petro Poroshenko in a runoff election last month.

Zelensky — who played Ukraine’s president on a popular TV show — has pledged to fight corruption and push to end the war against Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.

Many Ukrainian officials see U.S. support as a key deterrent preventing Russian President Vladi­mir Putin from encroaching further on their territory.

Western diplomats in Kiev have voiced concerns that Zelensky, given his lack of political experience, could be outmatched in negotiations with Putin.

Giuliani cancels Ukraine trip, says he’d be ‘walking into a group of people that are enemies of the US’ ["pro-Russian corrupt officials"-Giuliani]

Charles Creitz | Fox News
May 11, 2019

Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney, said Friday on "Fox News @ Night" that he will not be traveling to Ukraine as previously announced.

Giuliani, a former Republican mayor of New York City, said that he believed he would be "walking into a group of people that are enemies of the president, and in some cases, enemies of the United States and in one case, an already convicted person who has been found to be involved in assisting the Democrats with the 2016 investigation.

"There was a great fear that the new [Ukrainian] president would be surrounded by, literally, enemies of the president [of the United States] who were involved in that and people who are involved with other Democratic operatives," he told host Shannon Bream. ..."

“In an interview on Fox News’ “The [Laura] Ingraham Angle” Thursday night [May 9, 2019], Giuliani said that as Mr. Trump’s lawyer, he has an obligation to develop “explanations of what his client was charged with.”

“The fact is, this was a massive collusion between the Democratic National Committee, officials of the Obama administration, (Hillary) Clinton people, and the Ukrainian officials, corrupt officials — who, by the way, were pro-Russian corrupt officials — to create false information about Trump..."

“This is — this is real [collusion] — not collusion conspiracy to present false information, and to leak it to the press, and to give it to the FBI,” he claimed.

* Hunter Biden was appointed to the board of directors of a Ukranian company [Burisma] as part of an effort to recruit well-connected Americans while the company was under investigation, according to The New York Times.

* Then-Vice President Joe Biden played a role in pressuring Ukraine to oust the country’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company, Burisma.

* Shokin’s successor initially ended the investigation into Burisma, but decided in March 2019 to reopen it.

"In late April, around the time the vice president made an official trip to Ukraine, Burisma allegedly appointed Devon Archer, one of Hunter Biden’s business partners, to its board as well.

Here’s a brief write-up on the story from the Moscow Times, an English-language news service based in Russia.

These dual announcements raise more questions than they answer. The prominence of the individuals involved — Hunter Biden is the vice president’s son, while Devon Archer was a major bundler for John Kerry and also his stepson’s college roommate

“Burisma is a natural gas exploration and production company owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, a cabinet member of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich. [Viktor Yanukovich was Putin’s stooge in the Ukraine -ETL].

Yanukovich was removed from his position in February 2014.

He currently lives in exile in Russia and is wanted by Ukraine for high treason.

Zlochevsky later fled the country in late-2014 as Ukrainian prosecutors launched investigations into his time in public office as well as his private businesses.”

Viktor Yanukovych vs Viktor Yushchenko

In 2004, as President Kuchma's term came to an end, [Viktor] Yushchenko announced his candidacy for president as an independent.

His major rival was Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych. ..."

The campaign was often bitter and violent.

Yushchenko became seriously ill in early September 2004.

He was flown to Vienna’s Rudolfinerhaus clinic for treatment and diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, accompanied by interstitial edematous changes, due to a serious viral infection and chemical substances that are not normally found in food products.

Yushchenko claimed that he had been poisoned by government agents.

After the illness, his face was greatly disfigured: jaundiced, bloated, and pockmarked.

British toxicologist Professor John Henry of St Mary’s Hospital in London declared the changes in Yushchenko’s face were due to chloracne, which results from dioxin poisoning.[17]

Dutch toxicologist Bram Brouwer also stated his changes in appearance were the result of chloracne, and found dioxin levels in Yushchenko’s blood 6,000 times above normal.[18]

On December 11, Dr. Michael Zimpfer of the Rudolfinerhaus clinic declared that Yushchenko had ingested TCDD dioxin and had 1,000 times the usual concentration in his body.[19]
