An aide to national security adviser John Bolton sought to schedule a meeting for him with Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk during Boltons official trip to Ukraine last August, according to new disclosure filings reviewed by the Center for Public Integrity.
Schoen has represented Pinchuk since 2011, according to disclosure filings under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and is paid $40,000 per month for the work. Schoen, a veteran political consultant and former adviser to Bill Clinton, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Ukranian Pinchuk is especially generous---not only blanketing the Clinton Foundation with money, he hired
Hillary for a $300,00 speech to help him boost Ukraine's creds; even Chelsea got into the act.
CIRCA 2013----Ukranian billionaire Viktor Pinchuk hires Hillary to give a speech at a Ukraine forum discussing
regime change, exiting Russia....and hitting up the US for more foreign aid.
====================================
Democrat Doug Schoen, a Clinton crony, arranged Washington meetings for Bielkova on behalf of Pinchuk (who hired Schoen). Meetings included one with Ciaramella and his then-boss Zentos (Zentos is now political and economic chief at the US Embassy in Tblisi). Clintonite Schoen began foreign lobbying work for Pinchuk @ $40,000 per month beginning in 2000; Schoen arranged April 2016 meetings for Bielkova with national security professionals, including Ciaramella, at Pinchuk's behest. NOTE: Schoens filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act stated he didnt attend meetings personally.....but that the meeting topic was the Ukrainian progress in energy reform, and steps to be taken to increase energy independence.
