In 2019, Ukraine’s connection to Democrats was becoming clearer. Various officials who were connected to former Vice-President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama had engaged in activities designed to benefit private interests through influence peddling in Ukraine, often centered around Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma Holdings. It constituted a misuse of the “Biden Brand” for financial gain as the complicit mainstream media covered up the details of those interactions. These activities played a critical role in 2014 with the Obama administration’s involvement in the revolution that ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. To protect the scheme, the Russian Collusion scheme was launched, which later led to Democratic Representative Adam Schiff lying about a phone call between President Trump and the Ukrainian President in 2019, launching yet another attack against Trump, this time as an impeachment.
The key was to convince everyone that Donald Trump was a Russian asset. Following the Ukrainian revolution, Biden’s influence peddling led to the creation of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) that allegedly “leaked” information about the Trump 2016 Election Campaign to assist in creating the false narrative that Trump colluded with Russia to win the election.
During the early stages of the 2016 Election Season, in December of 2015, to protect against inconvenient investigations, Biden used the threat of withholding $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees to pressure Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire the prosecutor general who had been investigating Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas giant who had Biden’s son, Hunter, as a board member.
Rudy Giuliani, at the time, said, “Keep your eye on Ukraine.”
Giuliani told the Washington Examiner that there was a “plot to create an investigation of President Trump, based on a false charge of conspiracy with the Russians to affect the 2016 elections.”
NABU agents formed a relationship with Obama’s FBI and by February 2016 the FBI had a permanent representative onsite at the NABU offices. NABU Director Sytnyk met with U.S. Ambassador Pyatt to discuss a firmer relationship, and together they worked on going after Trump with the aim to make it look like Trump was a “pro-Russian” candidate who could break the geopolitical balance in the world by poisoning the work to preserve Ukraine’s revolution.
In 2020 a report on Hunter Biden being associated with “potential criminal activity” associated with human trafficking and millions in “questionable financial transactions” with corrupt individuals around the world hit the news, but as with any other news that might reveal the criminal activities of the Bidens, the news got lost in the noise. Reports regarding Burisma and Hunter Biden pointed to connections with the Democrats’ phony impeachment being a cover-up ploy in addition to going after Trump, but only conservative outlets were talking about it. For the Democrats, it was a two-birds with one stone moment: They could go after Trump while simultaneously averting everyone’s eyes away from Burisma bribing officials to shutdown any investigation. It would sweep under the rug Hunter Biden’s financial dealings with Ukrainian, Russian, and Chinese businesses, and it would hide in plain sight the fact that Ukraine was at the center of Biden’s influence peddling as Hunter leveraged relationships with Ukrainian organizations for financial gain.
The truth was working its way to the surface in 2019, and then conveniently, the COVID Coronavirus crisis appeared, and not only did it disrupt a very successful Trump presidency, it gave the Biden’s yet another way to “cash in.” The rigging of the system to protect corrupt politicians was doing as it should, and they were hanging Trump and his allies in the process.
The war against Trump and his supporters would lead to the false flag January 6 matter, another impeachment, and then four years of lawfare against Trump as the Democrats worked feverishly to reestablish their corrupt safeguards during the Biden administration.
Then, a year into Biden’s presidency, a full-scale war in Ukraine began. Russia’s massive invasion played into the Democratic Party’s plans. Eyes would be diverted from the criminalities of the Democrats, and Trump’s alleged ties to Russia would be shouted from the rooftops. It would give the Democrats more power, more wealth, and more control. They would paint it as a good guy, bad guy scenario making sure Putin became the ultimate villain, and despite being among the most corrupt governments in the world the Democrats would convince the country to rally around poor mistreated Ukraine. The invasion may or may not have been in the plans of the Democrats and their globalists allies, but they sure weren’t going to let the opportunity go to waste.
They never let a crisis go to waste.
Which brings us to the latest chapter tied to Ukraine, and how the Democrats have used it for their own gains.
A newly declassified intelligence summary has revealed allegations that U.S. taxpayer funds intended for Ukraine were part of a scheme to benefit Democratic political operations and then-President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign. The document, which summarizes raw intelligence intercepts collected by U.S. agencies in late 2022, describes discussions between Ukrainian government officials and unspecified U.S. personnel through USAID in Kyiv about diverting hundreds of millions of dollars to the Democratic National Committee.
The alleged plan involved using a “clean energy” and infrastructure project in Ukraine as a cover for funneling money back to the United States. The scheme reportedly relied on complex subcontracting arrangements through U.S. companies to make tracking the funds difficult, with contracts designed to be hard to verify. Two American subcontractors were referenced in the intercepts, though their names remain redacted in the declassified version. The plan’s architects were reportedly confident the project would receive initial funding before being later deemed unnecessary, at which point the money would already be allocated and impossible to reclaim.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently learned of these intercepts and has directed USAID officials to conduct a thorough review of contracts, payments, and internal communications related to the claims. Gabbard’s team has found no evidence that the allegations were thoroughly investigated during the Biden administration, and officials assess the communications were not Russian disinformation. If USAID’s review uncovers supporting evidence, the matter could be referred to the FBI for potential criminal investigation.
The allegations emerge at a politically sensitive time, as Ukraine continues negotiations with the Trump administration to end its war with Russia while facing ongoing scrutiny over corruption concerns.
Like in 2019, Trump is about to blow the whole Ukrainian connection to the Democrats wide open.
