A few months later, by mid-2016, the Obama administration had in place a plan for USAID to partner with Burisma, until Kent intervened to block it.
More:
Kents stoppage of the USAID project adds to a growing body of evidence that Burisma and its corruption issues were causing heartburn inside the State Department during the end of Joe Bidens tenure as Vice President.
Another State official has reportedly testified he tried to warn Bidens office that the Burisma matter posed a conflict of interest but was turned away by the vice presidents aides. *** Kents newly released testimony also confirmed several other elements of my earlier reporting about Ukraine, including that the U.S. embassy exerted pressure on Ukrainian prosecutors not to pursue certain investigations. *** For instance, Kent acknowledged signing an April 2016 letter that asked the Ukrainian prosecutors office to stand down an investigation of several nonprofits that had received U.S. aid, including the AntiCorruption Action Centre of Ukraine, or AnTac.
Kent also confirmed my reporting that AnTac was jointly funded by the State Department and one of liberal megadonor George Soros foundations.
So Obama administration corruption relating to Ukraine may well have extended beyond Burismas $3 million bribe to the Biden family. President Trump was entirely correct in wanting this Obama/Biden administration corruption to be investigated, but the Democratic Party press seems to have succeeded, bizarrely, in painting
Trump as the villain of the story. Who says the mainstream press no longer has any power? The Biden familys self-enrichment is a great example of the swamp against which Donald Trump ran for office, and Americas reporters and editors, with few exceptions, are swamp members in good standing.

I’m with you on that. Kurtz makes my skin crawl.
Save
.well it all went missing.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A good portion of it kicked right back to a few Democrats no doubt.
I don’t trust Kurtz.
Will I go to Hell for hating Joe Biden?
I have really grown to dislike Kurtz. He is a phony lib lover, obnoxious, and unwatchable.
Yep. It was cringe-worthy how he scraped and bowed and apologized to his bosses for Mollie’s transgression.
Roger that.
It's no hard to hate any of these corrupt democRATS.
It all comes down, I believe, to black mail and Epstein. The Clintons although they are willing participants hold the black book filled with all the names at the ready to destroy who ever steps out of line and doesn’t follow orders and if you do, ARKENSIDE is the final solution
Jo-kraine Biden.
POTUS is not above the law. But everyone who might be a political rival is. Investigating them or asking for an investigation of them is treason! IMPEAT FOTY FI!/S
OK, but he's a sideshow. He's got the very worst time-slot possible, on the weekends, in the middle of the day.
I enjoy Tucker Carlson, and don't worry about the ones I dislike, there are many of them.
Below the mysterious Kent in this oped is identified:
George Kent, the former charge daffair at the Kiev embassy, said in testimony released Thursday that the State Departments main foreign aid agency, known as USAID, planned to co-sponsor a clean energy project with Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian gas firm that employed Hunter Biden as a board member.
At the time of the proposed project, Burisma was under investigation in Ukraine for alleged corruption.
Kent testified he personally intervened in mid-2016 to stop USAIDs joint project with Burisma because American officials believed the corruption allegations against the gas firm raised concern.
Kurtz is a big time never trumper, he tries to be subtle about it but that doesn’t work.
He will go on a long rant, talking fast with his speech impediment (hard to understand) and in his rants he will throw several digs at Trump before he shuts up.
I hardly ever watch his show, but some of the left leaning FOX hosts have him on to help them with their bias’ against Trump.
They let Kurtz do their dirty work...
