Historic, compelling evidence WRT Ukraine’s 2016 election interference (Ukraine denigrating Trump so as to advance Hillary’s candidacy), shows the US-taxpayer financed “Russian/Ukraine hostilities” in an entirely new light.

BACKSTORY Ukraine Tried to Tip the 2016 Trump/Hillary Election in Clinton’s Favor
Evidence reveals Ukraine intervened to tilt the election in favor of its own national interests

observer.com, By Michael Sainato, 01/12/17

EDITED—Politico reported the Ukrainian Government dedicatedly worked to aid Hillary Clinton’s
2016 presidential bid. The shocking actions taken by the Ukranian government officials included:
<><>disseminating false govt documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption,
<><>Ukraine first announcing they were investigating the matter,
<><>then nervously backing off after Trump defeated Hillary
<><>Ukraine helping Clinton allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.

The supposedly incriminating Ukraine government documents Ukraine officials brought forth implicated Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, who once worked as an adviser for now-ousted Ukrainian President Viktor F. Yanukovych.

However, the concerns that the Ukranian documents raised weren’t over any quasi-Russian ties that the partisan MSM rigorously reported, pushing this narrative 24/7. Rather, the dubious documents raised question about “declared income” that only the Ukraine government was ostensibly privy to WRT Manafort.

The Podesta Group, a notorious lobbying firm co-founded by Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta, also conducted work for the Ukranian president Yanukovych but that was studiously ignored by Ukraine. The Ukranian narrative sought to not only paint Trump as “pro-Russian,” but also to provide the Clinton campaign with a Ukranian wholly invented “Trump smear campaign” which helpfully reaffirmed Ukraine’s stance “against Russia,” and which earned Ukraine billions in US tax dollars.

It was in Ukraine’s best interest to tilt the election in support of Clinton, b/c she strongly advocated for providing Ukraine with billions of US tax dollars in military aid and financial support in order “to assist Ukraine fight Russian separatists” then-operating in the Ukraine. Which presents the more recent US financed “Russian invasion of Ukraine” in an entirely new light.

Politico noted that Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American working as a consultant for DNC, met with top Ukrainian Officials in Washington D.C. about “forcing” Manafort’s resignation with the goal of cementing the Ukraine/Hillary narrative that Trump was “connected” to Russia.

Manafort was subsequently jailed and slapped into solitary confinement due to Ukranian efforts to aid Hillary.

Both Ukranians—— Chalupa, and her sister Andrea—— have strongly pushed the anti-Russian narrative on social media.

Shockingly, the Ukranian sisters also advocated that the state electors of “the US electoral college defect from Trump.” The Chalupas’ outrageous shady elector gambit was ignored but Trump was said to have an “illegal elector scheme.”

The report added, “Politico’s investigation found evidence of Ukrainian government involvement in the Trump/Hillary 2016 race strains 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 alleged hacks, Dmitri Alperovitch, also serves as a senior fellow to the Washington-based think tank Atlantic Council, Ukranian-funded, which is an openly anti-Russian organization.

The Atlantic Council is funded by Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, who is 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 Ukranian-centered Atlantic Council has propagated anti-Russian sentiment and advocated for bolstering NATO forces in anticipation of a Ukranian military conflict with Russia long before Wikileaks released emails from the DNC and Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta.

In 2013, the Ukranian-funded Atlantic Council awarded Hillary Clinton its Distinguished International Leadership Award. In 2014, the Ukranian-focused Atlantic Council hosted one of several events with former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who took over after pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych’s 2014 removal.

In August 2015, Politico was apparently cued to report that “Donald Trump’s favorable rhetoric to Russia was concerning to 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 were now scrambling to revert from their lobbying for Hillary Clinton and the DNC.
<><>Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko rushed to sign a $50,000-a-month contract with a US lobbying firm to set up meetings with US officials in the new Trump administration.
<><>Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, who paid Hillary to come to Ukraine for a speech, now sang a different tune and wrote an WSJ op-ed Dec 29 to argue that Ukraine needs “to make compromises” to establish peace with Russia.
<><>Post-election, Ukranian 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 with a straight face.

While past elections in Ukraine have been viewed as proxy battles between the US and Russia, it appears that the 2016 US presidential election faced a barrage of shady influence from Ukraine——which is a beneficiary of billions of US tax dollars——attempting to influence an election outcome biased for Ukraine’s national interests.

It now appears Ukraine’s election interference was based on Ukraine hungering after US foreign aid .....from 2015 up to and including the “Russian invasion,” and onto Ukraine’s 2023 beg-a-thons for US tax dollars.

“A binder containing highly classified information...”

“...the most closely guarded national security secrets...”

“The intelligence was so sensitive that lawmakers and congressional aides with top secret security clearances were able to review the material only at CIA headquarters in Langley...”

If it was so highly classified and the information within it, then how did CNN know what was in it, when it disappeared, where it was located, and who could see it?

They at CNN forgot to mention that there is a need to know status on compartmental clearance for that sensitive material. There are three requirements for individual access to classified information for national security eligibility, a need-to-know the information, and a completed Standard Form (SF) 312, Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement.

Unless there was an investigation for that material as since it apparantly was discovered that it existed, when the investigation currently had nothing to do with archied material properly stored without looking for it, they would not have had a need to know if they were not looking for anything they could find. And there aren’t 25 congressional aides that have that level of clearance. Or without admitting they were trying to provide evidence to an investigation they were fishing for, they wouldn’t have received entrance. Furthermore the archives would have known who had it, where it was, and was it stored properly...a scif.

I’ll bet there are a number of those classified eligible aides building a bunder as we speak to support an inmvestigation tha wouldn’t have been taken on. I also wonder how many signatures will have to be authenticated for it’s past viewing as it couldn’t have just sprung up.

And the biggest question...why would anyone leave a trail of investigation fodder right out in the open. Even Hilary tried to bleach her sole source computer records. Trump and his staff may be a lot of things, but they aren’t that stupid.

I would guess CNN gets told lots of truth, they only selectively report bits of truth.
