(snips) -- The Russian collusion story was originally hatched by Hillary Clinton in the summer of 2016 to cover up the utter corruption revealed by the dump of Democratic National Committee emails on Wikileaks.
Monica Lewinsky scandal .... No, this time, it was a vast Russian conspiracy!
At the time, the entire media laughed at Hillarys Russian conspiracy nonsense. But then Trump won the election, and suddenly the Russia conspiracy seemed totally believable. What else could explain how Americans could put this boob in the White House?
The subsequent three years of breathless Russia coverage was based entirely on the word of one cybersecurity firm, CrowdStrike, that the DNC's emails had been hacked by Russia.
Recall that the DNC wouldnt allow the FBI or any other U.S. government official anywhere near its computers. Thats precisely why so many cybersecurity experts doubted that it was the Russians: The FBI was never allowed to perform its own investigation.
CrowdStrike was founded by Ukrainian Dmitri Alperovitch (now an American citizen apparently -- because who isn't?) and funded by the fanatically anti-Russian Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk.
The entire Russian insanity was launched by a couple of Ukrainians. I think a lot of us would like to get to the bottom of that.
This is why Trump said to President Zelensky: I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say CrowdStrike ... I guess you have one of your wealthy people ... The server, they say Ukraine has it.

Crowd Strike.... DJT is a wise man.
One sentence in that phone call. One sentence with the words Crowdstrike and server but no verb. Classic Trump. When the Rats saw that Impeachment evaporated as fast as Acetone in the sun.
Victor Pinchuk ... who gave The Clinton Glo-bull Initiative $29 million.

ps --- I know Ann Coulter has been in disfavor here for a long time, but she gets it right this time.

Crowd strike created the Russian conspiracy nonsense.
Repeat often.
The truth will win the day NOT the Progressive narrative.
Destroy the narrative. Destroy the impeachment inquiry.
The American people value Fairness above partisanship (unless youre a zealot)
Crowdstrike is an American company. What is the purpose of having the Ukraine do an investigation? What are they supposed to investigate?

OPINION Ukraine Tried to Tip the Election in Clintons Favor
Evidence reveals that Ukraine intervened to tilt the election in favor of its national interests
By Michael Sainato 01/12/17
Politico reported that the Ukrainian Government worked to aid Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential elections. The actions taken by government officials included disseminating documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clintons allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.
Those documents implicated Trumps former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, who worked as an adviser for now-ousted Ukrainian President Viktor F. Yanukovych. However, the concerns that the documents raised werent in fact over any quasi-Russian ties, though partisan reporting pushed his narrative. Rather, the documents raised the question of whether Manafort declared the income that he had received from the position. The Podesta Group, a lobbying firm co-founded by Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta, also conducted work for Yanukovych.
However, the Manafort narrative not only painted Trump as pro-Russian, but also provided the Clinton campaign with a smear campaign while reaffirming its stance against Russia. It was in Ukraines best interest to tilt the election in support of Clinton, who strongly advocated for providing Ukraine with military aid and financial support in order to fight Russian separatists in the country.
Politico noted that Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American working as a consultant for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), met with top Ukrainian Officials in Washington D.C. about forcing Manaforts resignation in order to perpetuate the narrative that Trump is connected to Russia. Both Chalupa and her sister Andrea have strongly pushed the anti-Russian narrative on social media, in addition to advocating that the electors of the electoral college defect from Trump. The report added, Politicos investigation found evidence of Ukrainian government involvement in the race that appears to strain diplomatic protocol dictating that governments refrain from engaging in one anothers elections.
In addition to the Chalupas, the co-founder and CTO of Crowdstrike, the cyber security firm that the DNC hired to investigate the alleged hacks, Dmitri Alperovitch, also serves as a senior fellow to the Washington-based think tank Atlantic Council, which is an openly anti-Russian organization partly . The Atlantic Council is funded by Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, who also happens to be one of the most prolific donors to the Clinton Foundation. The DNC denied multiple requests from the FBI to access their servers, effectively forcing the FBI to rely on CrowdStrikes assessment of the hacks.
The Atlantic Council has propagated anti-Russian sentiment and advocated for bolstering NATO forces in anticipation of a military conflict between with Russia long before Wikileaks released emails from the DNC and Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta. In 2013, the Atlantic Council awarded Hillary Clinton its Distinguished International Leadership Award. In 2014, the Atlantic Council hosted one of several events with former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who took over after pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was removed in early 2014. In August, Politico reported that Donald Trumps favorable rhetoric to Russia was concerning Ukraine. The article stated, Russia wants Trump for U.S. president; Ukraine is terrified by Trump and prefers Hillary Clinton.
In response to their preferred candidate losing the election, Ukrainian officials are now scrambling to revert from their lobbying for Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko recently signed a $50,000-a-month contract with a lobbying firm to set up meetings with U.S. officials in the new administration. Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk wrote an op-ed on December 29 in the Wall Street Journal in which he argued that Ukraine needs make compromises to establish peace with Russia. After the election, reports surfaced that Pinchuk donated to Trumps charity to try to gain the same favor and access that his donations to the Clinton Foundation afforded him. The sole reason the Victor Pinchuk Foundation has reached out to President-elect Trumpas well as other world leadershas been to promote strengthened and enduring ties between Ukraine and the West, a spokeswoman for the Pinchuk foundation told ABC News.
While past elections in Ukraine have been viewed as proxy battles between the U.S. and Russia, it appears that the 2016 presidential election in the U.S. faced similar influence from two foreign countries attempting to influence an election outcome preferable to their own national interests.
When Rudi is asked why he got involved in Ukraine he states he was following the Ukrainian connection to the origin of Russia, Russia, Russia. The Trump conversation and request happened in July. Trump might just have the server by now. Is Coulter ever going to apologize to Trump about her going completely off the rails with the wall?
Hopefully Americans will learn about Crowd Strike.
The only reason Ann was the target of venom here was because she was fierce in holding the President to his campaign promises on illegal immigration.
Sometimes (not often, but sometimes) the herd mentality here is to surround anyone who criticizes President Trump, and attack that person like a pack of wild dogs.
Yes, I know Trump has massive opposition to the Wall and illegal invaders from Congress, the Deep State, RINOs, etc. Ann (correctly) pointed out that at the time that little to no new wall was being built, and that (again, at the time) illegal immigration was increasing, not decreasing.
If people want pile on hatred to her for doing that, then they are worshipping a person (Trump), over policy.

Crowdstrike is partially owned by a Ukrainian guy....an oligarch nameed Viktor Pinchuk, who seems to be anti-Russian (a matter of debate).
This is kinda reading like a James Bond flick, with various Russian or anti-Russian characters pretending to be oligarchs in some way.
One odd aspect....this $1.8 billion ‘loan’ that the US shipped off to the Ukraine for natural gas development....could only go to one particular company (with one particular owner), and the money was deposited into a bank which is owned by the same particular owner. The holder of the debt if the loan comes back? It appears to be the government of the Ukraine, or the US just forgives the debt. Hours after this deal was announced....Hunter Biden was hired as a board member ($80k a month on salary).
I agree. She’s annoying and not always right. But sometimes is. Others in the “alternative media” have had the story on this cat and his dad for some time—but of course the MSM haven’t told the real story yet on it.
Because the activities in Ukraine are outside the reach of US investigators.
The FBI cannot just show up in another country and start snooping around.
The facts are on our side. Biden Jr. will wilt under the lights. The GOP Senate could end this nonsense with a few subpoenas. But they won’t in a timely manner. It should be obvious by now that the GOP are full participants in this coup.
The FBI has agents in our embassies. They certainly can gather facts from there.
This changes nothing for me. She calls the president a name, even if it’s in the third person every chance she gets.
I have yet....yes I have yet to read a column from her that congratulates the man’s accomplishments.
This is the gal who was on her knees worshiping Mitt Romney. Remember?
The other thing, her column is vulgar. She uses the Lord’s name in vane unedited.
Spare me from this so called Conservative.
I don’t think it’s any coincidence that you don’t see her anymore on Hannity or Laura’s shows...
Really? You have no idea how this works do you? You think because are the US we can simply waltz into a company in another country and start snooping around?
Please...stop saying that.
It should be obvious by now that the GOP are full participants in this coup.
As always, follow the money. Money money money.
