Adam Schiff-Ukraine connection comes under scrutiny
Fox News ^ | October 3, 2019 | Alex Pappas

Posted on 02/09/2020 5:47:01 AM PST by Clarence The One Eyed Lion

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who has played a leading role in investigating the Trump-Ukraine scandal, is facing questions about his own connection to a Soviet-born businessman who has raised money for his campaign and whose company has received lucrative defense contracts from Ukraine's government.

That man is Igor Pasternak, the founder and CEO of Worldwide Aeros Corp., which makes blimps for military and commercial customers. His business has also been involved in weapons manufacturing, working with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense to produce a modified version of the M4 and M16 rifles, according to reports.

PELOSI DEFENDS SCHIFF AFTER BEING PRESSED ABOUT HIS 'PARODY' OF TRUMP'S UKRAINE CALL

In 2013, Pasternak hosted a fundraiser in Washington for Schiff, who later came to embrace a strong stance in support of the United States sending military aid to Ukraine during its conflict with Russia.

“Before this time, Schiff rarely, if ever, mentioned Ukraine,” Fox News’ Laura Ingraham said on her show Thursday night, after detailing Schiff’s connection to Pasternak. “But after the fundraiser, he used multiple television appearances to basically demand that we send money and arms to them.”

Schiff, Biden family, Pelosi, Kerry family, Obama and more dirty dems are deeply involved and soon will be revealed as reaping fortunes from money-laundering schemes.

This is only a sample of several European investigations going on: https://ukrainegate.info/

The question illustrates your ignorance.

The question assumes there is not an investigation in process.

The question indicates you think you have knowledge that you actually do not.

The question illustrates that you think the Republicans are stupid,

Not with Barr, Huber, Lindsay, and Burr in charge.

Individually, at least SOME republicans are not stupid. Collectively, however, they are absolutely stupid, inept, and spineless (and a good many are as corrupt as their dem counterparts).

I can only hope that they are learning something from Trump, but I’m not holding my breath.

Your view is seriously outmoded and overlooks the fact the party is unified under President Donald Trump

Conservative hatred of Republicans is passe

Do not attempt to bypass FR excerpting rules again. Next time we’ll suspend you.
