Senators and DC officials from both parties participated in the Ukraine influence process. Part of those influence priorities was/is exploiting the financial opportunities within Ukraine while simultaneously protecting the background activity of Joe Biden and his family. This is where Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham were working with Marie Yovanovitch

You might also remember Marie Yovanovitch, George Kent and U.S. chargé d’affaires to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, testifying against President Trump in the ridiculous impeachment effort surrounding Ukraine.

It was former Ukraine Ambassador Bill Taylor who engaged in carefully planned text messages with EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland to set-up a narrative helpful to the impeachment plan and Adam Schiff’s political coup effort.

Bill Taylor was formerly U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine (’06-’09) and later helped the Obama administration to design the laundry operation providing taxpayer financing to Ukraine in exchange for back-channel payments to U.S. politicians and their families.

...The officials within the State Dept. take a cut of the overall payments through a system of “indulgence fees”, junkets, gifts, CODELS and expense payments to their family members who hold political oversight.

If anyone gets too close to revealing the process they become a target of the entire apparatus. President Trump was considered an existential threat to this process. Hence his political status as an outsider essentially ended with a soft coup.

A “Codel” is a congressional delegation that takes trips to work out the payments, terms & conditions of any changes to the graft and financing. This is why Senators spend $20 million on a state campaign to earn a job paying $350k/year. They cannot join the laundry unless they can get elected.

^^ THAT ^^ is the grift machine they're all (DC swamp) wanting a part of. ... and, why they're so 'bi-partisanly' all in, on supporting Ukraine.

Sundance: This open-secret system of “Affluence and Influence” is how the intelligence apparatus gains such power. All of the DC participants are essentially beholden to the various U.S. intelligence services who are well aware of their endeavors. There’s a ton of exposure here (blackmail/leverage), which allows the unelected officials within the CIA, FBI and DOJ to hold power over the DC politicians. Hold this type of leverage long enough, and the Intelligence Community then absorbs that power to enhance their self-belief of being more important than the system.

“indulgence fees” is like a home intruder calling self a house inspector.
So many scams in D.C. not enough time to read them all.
