‘Well, Son of a Bitch’ : Ukraine Scandal Is About Biden
NY Sun ^ | September 25, 2019 | Editors

Posted on 09/26/2019 4:41:33 AM PDT by billorites

Release of the transcript of President Trump’s call with Ukraine’s new president makes one thing clear — the Democrats are focusing on the wrong guy. They’re trying to use this episode to impeach Mr. Trump. What the conversation shows, though, is that Mr. Trump was enlisting help to do exactly what he had promised to do, drain the swamp. The culprit on whom to focus is Vice President Biden.

The transcript certainly confirms that Mr. Biden was mentioned by Mr. Trump in his call with Ukraine’s new president, Volodymyr Zelensky. And that Mr. Biden’s son, Hunter, was also mentioned. This shows up on the fourth page of the five-page transcript, after the two presidents were talking about how America gives more support to Ukraine than do the Europeans.

The President brought up that the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden’s work in Ukraine had been “shut down.” Mr. Trump asked Mr. Zelensky to speak with Attorney General Barr and Mayor Giuliani. “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.”

Vice President Biden, Mr. Trump added, “went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you ·can look into it ... It sounds horrible to me.”

The bragging by Mr. Biden to which Mr. Trump was referring was about the state prosecutor looking into, among other things, Hunter Biden. The bragging happened at the Council on Foreign Relations in January 2018. The former vice president was on a stage with CFR’s president, Richard Haass. The video of it is on Youtube.com. Mr. Biden is talking one of his visits to Kiev.

“I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee,”

/ Trump to Pres Zelensky: “ I would like you to find out what happened with Ukraine, they say Ukraine has CrowdStrike's server.”

REFERENCE: WIKI---CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. is an American cybersecurity technology company based in Sunnyvale, California. The company provides endpoint security, threat intelligence, and cyberattack response services.[1] The company has been involved in investigations of several high profile cyber-attacks, including the Sony Pictures hack,[2] the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak, and the Democratic National Committee cyber attacks.[3]

CrowdStrike, was funded by the fanatically anti-Russian Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk.

OPINION Ukraine Tried to Tip the Election in Clinton’s 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 Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.”

Those documents implicated Trump’s 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 weren’t 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 Ukraine’s 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 Manafort’s 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, “Politico’s investigation found evidence of Ukrainian government involvement in the race that appears to strain diplomatic protocol dictating that governments refrain from engaging in one another’s 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 CrowdStrike’s 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 Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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 Trump—as well as other world leaders—has 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.

Every stinking democrat in office is trying to remove a duly elected president. When will America realize that the democratic party is an enemy of the state?

Or have we become too stupid, stoned on pot, dumbed down via government education systems, lazy..........?

You can’t buy this type of media which brings the Crowdstrike, Rosemont Seneca and the Bank of China created $1 billion investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), a name that reflected who was involved. Bohai (or Bo Hai), the innermost gulf of the Yellow Sea, was a reference to the Chinese stake in the company. The “RS” referred to Rosemont Seneca, as in the druggie son of Joe Biden and Sen Heinz’s son, now John Kerry’s stepson’s. The “T” was Thornton as in nephew of Whitey Bulger. All these vectors keep pointing towards the Clintons.

Still think fighting is a dumpster fire. I think the real heroes Clinton or Obama and I still think they will enter the race. The Floyd will be they had no choice they had to fix things and be the hero.

I saw Crowdstrike in the transcript, but have no clue what they have to do with this. Can you explain briefly?

I do know this much, they put out a ridiculous blog post which I read and commented on around May or June of 2016. In that blog post they pretended they were playing cops and robbers with Russians inside the DNS server.

One freeper, who I have forgotten, replied that he "saw the source code" and it was really the Russians inside the DNC server. Never in my life had I read such ridiculous propaganda that even infected someone here.

If Clinton is tied to the Ukraine that whole thing won’t unravel in time to pull in Obama. Obama can still have plausible deniability.

HILLARY CLINTON’S BIG BENEFACTOR HAS TRADE LINKS WITH IRAN
By Rory Ross On 4/18/15 (yes 2015)

https://www.newsweek.com/2015/04/24/hillary-clinton-runs-white-house-and-row-over-ukrainian-benefactors-trade-322253.html

Enemies of Hillary Clinton waiting to discredit her bid for the White House are likely to seize on news that one of the biggest benefactors to the Clinton Foundation has been trading with Iran and may be in breach of US sanctions imposed on the country.

Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, 54, has courted the Clintons for at least nine years – in the United States, the Alps and Ukraine.

Earlier this year, he was confirmed as the largest individual contributor to the Clinton Foundation, whose aims include the creation of “economic opportunity and growth”. He also has links to the Tony Blair Foundation and represented its biggest single donor in 2013.

The person in charge of this list of non-US companies is the Secretary of State, who between 2009 to 2013 – the period during which Pinchuk’s company was trading with Iran – was Hillary Clinton.

In November 2014, the now-retired Republican congressman, Steve Stockman, wrote to the US Department of the Treasury, questioning Interpipe’s dealings with Iran.

Pinchuk is considered to be one of the world’s foremost collectors of contemporary art. He counts Sir Elton John and Bill Clinton among his close friends and the Ukrainian owns a house in central London, which he bought for a record-breaking £80m.

Pinchuk became particularly friendly with Bill Clinton. In 2010, he invited the former president to his 50th birthday party in the French ski resort of Courchevel. In return, Pinchuk attended Clinton’s 65th in 2011, and was a guest at the inauguration of Clinton’s Presidential Library. The Clintons spoke at Pinchuk’s Yalta European Strategy conference, which seeks integration between Ukraine and Europe.

Had a Lyft ride with a black driver from Brooklyn of Nigerian descent this morning. He is a Democrat and voted for 0bama.

He feels sorry for Trump that the Democrats and the enemedia are being so extremely unfair.

I say, let’s cheer the DhimmicRATs on in their Trump Jihad.

I just love how everything the dems try to pin on Trump comes back at them and blows up in their faces, and puts them further behind with every passing day.

Democrats are Democrats first.

Being an American is way down on their list.

That means that Democrats don’t believe in justice.

They believe that our legal system exists to serve the Democrat Party.

Think about that for a second.

Crowdstrike was the cybersecurity firm that the DNC hired to examine their hacked email server to see if they could determine who hacked them. Crowdstrike claimed that the evidence pointed to Russian hackers, but refused to let the FBI examine the server for themselves. They only turned over their reports.

It has long been thought that because of the file timestamps, the emails were downloaded to a thumb drive, not hacked remotely, because the data transfer rates were much faster than an internet connection could support.

Crowdstrike disagreed, and the Obama FBI/Justice Department went along with Crowdstrike.

VICTOR PINCHUK FINALIZES RESTRUCTURING OF THE INTERPIPE GROUP
Victor Pinchuk, has completed the process of restructuring of Interpipe Group. As a result, tours to Baikal, that were previously part of the group are now governed as stand-alone businesses within a framework of an investment fund.

An international investment advisory group, EastOne (London), has been formed to support new investments and the existing asset portfolio. Its scope of activities includes development and execution of portfolio strategy, provision of industry expertise to the assets, and support in the areas of M&A, risk management, business planning and performance management.

Currently, EastOne oversees an asset portfolio in excess of $US 10 billion. The portfolio includes over 20 enterprises and large-scale projects such as Interpipe Pipe and Wheel Company, media assets (STB, Novy, ICTV, Facty newspaper) Ukrsotsbank, and a specialty steel producer Dneprospetsstal.

Prior to becoming CEO of EastOne, Gennady Gazin served as a CEO of Interpipe. Before joining Interpipe, Gennady Gazin was a managing partner of CIS office of McKinsey & Company, an international consulting firm.

*****************************************

No wonder Chelsea Clinton went to work for McKinsey & Company.

McKinsey & Company started accepting stock in their clients as payment for services. As a result the controlled a huge investment fund.

This us the same Company that reorganized the CIA management in 2015 for Brennan in a no bid contract.

WHAT WERE THE BIDENS DOING IN UKRAINE? AND WHAT DID OBAMA KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?

POINTS TO PONDER The fired Ukrainian prosecutor was ALSO investigating a "Ukraine oligarch" WRT a $5 billion IMF theft,
......simultaneously with the investigation of Hunter Bidens $3 million salary. What's the connection?

SALIENT POINT: The fired Ukrainian prosecutor was investigating all the Ukranian money being stolen.
But he was fired when Joe Biden twisted his arm for investigating Hunter Biden’s extortion.....so the story goes.

The oligarch might have been Viktor Pinchuk, a mega-donor to the Clinton Foundation.

HMMMMMMM....Could be Obama kicked Joe's ass, peeved that Hunter only got $3 million of the missing $5 billion?

======================================

(HAT TIP THINDEN) On August 26, 2016, NY Associated Press reported on how the records of Clinton’s official diary as Secretary of State paralleled money flows into the Clinton Foundation. AP concluded that Clinton was meeting in her official capacity with those giving cash to the foundation.

“At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.”

Even this much from the AP had taken three years of pursuing Clinton’s meeting records and stonewalling by the State Department. In the AP report, and in the archive it had investigated, there is no mention of the Ukraine or the oligarch believed to be Viktor Pinchuk, a mega-donor to the Clinton Foundation. Pinchuk gave the Clintons $29 million.

CIRCA 2013----Viktor Pinchuk hires Hillary to give a speech.
