Obama Privately Blasted A Republican Investigation Into Joe Biden And Ukraine, Calling It An Effort To Boost “Russian Disinformation”
BuzzFeedNews ^ | 05 05 2020 | Emma Loop

The office of former president Barack Obama privately blasted a congressional investigation into former vice president Joe Biden and his son, as well as alleged Ukrainian election interference, calling it an effort “to give credence to a Russian disinformation campaign,” according to a letter obtained by BuzzFeed News.

In March, Obama’s office told the National Archives and Records Administration — which maintains presidential records — that a request from two top Republican senators for Obama administration documents related to Ukraine was improper.

“It arises out of efforts by some, actively supported by Russia, to shift the blame for Russian interference in the 2016 election to Ukraine,” said the letter, dated March 13. It pointed to comments made by Fiona Hill, a former senior National Security Council official in the Trump White House, during the impeachment investigation into the president, calling Ukrainian election meddling “a fictional narrative that is being perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services.”

Obama knows if anyone pokes around they will uncover even more crimes committed during his usurpation.

Lucky for him the GOP wants to keep that all hidden as well.

‘Aid to Ukraine’ was nothing but a money laundering operation to benefit the Dems. As was Hunter’s job.

All paths back to the whole campaign to unseat Donald J. Trump, first as candidate, then as President, lead through the Ukrainian regime that was in power in 2016. The repeated incursions of various Obama regime operatives into the internal affairs of that country speaks of a huge and heavy presence in first milking the various Ukrainian institutions of a great deal of cash, then setting up a network to perpetuate that cash flow.

I sense a considerable presence of George Soros here.

So this time, instead of Donald Trump furthering the interests of the Russian Security Services and their disinformation, it's Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson?

Lather, rinse, repeat?   Oh, I get it!   Does Barry ever change his tune?

HAVE GUN GRABBERS RED-FLAGGED JOE BIDEN YET?

According to gun-grabbers, Biden is very dangerous. He owns a 10 gauge shotgun, and was caught on film demonstrating how to shoot it.

Everyday spent on the amorous adventures of “Two-Finger Joe”, is a day he, his son and co-conspirators move further away from their ethical & financial misdeeds in the Ukraine and China.
At this rate, Ukraine & China will be overshadowed by the next greater scandal. And odds are, that will occur as our “Late Summer Surprise”.

My chickens always know when I’m about to pet them, because they’ll get into a crouched stance and spread their wings. Obama is doing the same thing here, proactively bracing for the exposure that might come.

Isn’t it interesting that the Russians gained all kind of political influence under Obama’s two terms.

Guess the media can’t figure that one out.

Ukrainian Officials Find Misuse of $5.3 BILLION in US Foreign Aid During Obama Admin
December 6, 2019 | By Jim Hoft

In October Ukrainian Parliamentarian Andrey (Andriy) Derkach revealed in a press conference
that Joe Biden was paid $900,000 for lobbying efforts from Burisma Holdings in Ukraine.

Burisma employed Biden’s son Hunter at a salary estimated at $50,000 per month.

ITEM Much of the $5.3B in US Aid Ukraine reported as misused was given to the embassy’s favored NGO’s.

ITEM At the time of the foreign aid misuse, Democrat impeachment witness was Ukraine Amb Iovanovitch.

ITEM The embassy directed the police not to investigate the misuse of tax dollars.

ITEM Iovanivitch apparently lied to Congress-—told Congress a “Do Not Prosecute” list did not exist.

Obama is in it up to his eyeballs

Well, then it won’t hurt to investigate if there’s no there there. Goose and gander.
