Ukraine has widened its investigation into the founder of energy company Burisma to include suspicion of embezzling state funds, Prosecutor General Ruslan Ryaboshapka said on Wednesday....
.....
The investigation is effectively on hold, however, because the Ukrainian authorities cannot determine Zlochevsky's whereabouts......

But nobody knows where Zlochevsky is? Maybe someone ought to ask Hunter Biden.

2 minute video.
Giuliani says that much of the Steele Dossier originated in Kiev, Ukraine, that Glenn Simpson was in Kiev for a period of time in mid 2016, & that the 'black ledger' used against Manafort passed through Simpson's company.

Other than the obvious that Simpson likely has little respect amongst the political elite, at least the good ones, is there anything he's done, or proven to have done, that is illegal?

To me, he put a bunch of hearsay crap, and general fiction, together for consumption by the Dems. In other words, it's not his fault. Leni Riefenstahl and Lenin would be embarrased.

The book comes out in a week:

The never-before-told inside story of the high-stakes, four-year-long investigation into Donald Trump's Russia ties--culminating in the Steele dossier, and sparking the Mueller report--from the founders of political opposition research company Fusion GPS

You can read the prologue at Amazon.

We'll see how Simpson fares in the long run. I suspect he will be included in any conspiracy charges regarding the origin & laundering of the Steele Dossier for opening Crossfire Hurricane, Page's FISA application, & Brennan's Intelligence Community Assessment publication.

Damn, you really delivered on my question.

Thanx!

Lindsey Graham said on Hannity that the FISA report will be released on Monday, December 9th.

This is a fascinating read. Lots of details about about the money laundering in Ukraine by the former President Yanukovich. You can see how the current owner of Burisma, Zlochevsky, was involved, where the Bidens fit in, how the FBI investigated & suddenly dropped their investigation, how Yovanovitch blocked Ukrainian investigators from coming to the US, the Templeton Fund, etc. Apparently Ukraine is currently on the verge of bankruptcy.

Bump to top

Solomon's Ukrainian timeline. Biden sure was hands-on in regular communication with Poroshenko. Also, Biden was also hands-on the energy sector in Ukraine.

I'm going to say something that may not be acceptable to some on this thread but I hope Trump and Pompeo don't comply with this.

First, Executive Privilege still applies. Trump should not pick and choose when he wants to assert and when he doesn't.

Second, the subpoenas need to come from Barr and Durham, even if they are requested from their Ukrainian counter-parts.

Short video. Ukraine had re-opened the investigation into Burisma before Zelensky had been elected President, a fact conveniently omitted by the whistleblower. It seems Solomon knows more about what's been happening in Ukraine than anyone on the Repub side.

---

If true, it's consistent with my hope that the real question on the July 25 call was whether Ukraine could safely investigate/take money from a Biden, not whether they were willing to do it on Trump's behalf.

Going really BSC, could Trump have been worried that the funding pause would be seen as "fire Shokin" 2.0 and he wanted the investigation announced so he couldn't be accused of doing what Biden has already done?

Those are good reasons, but on the other hand I don't think it's a bad thing to show the dems the R's aren't afraid to fight a little.

This was hinted at in the testimony today. The guy was careful to say that "no new investigations were open". This supports my theory that Ukraine already had an open investigation, Trump only needed a public announcement to get this kicked into the next phase.

Cool! Durham going after that shadowy Office of Net Assessment at DOD.

Quote:

---

Justice Department prosecutor U.S. Attorney John Durham is questioning personnel connected to the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment, which awarded multiple contracts to FBI informant Stephan Halper. Halper, who was informing the bureau on Trump campaign advisors, is a central figure in the FBI's original investigation into President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, SaraACarter.com has learned.

These latest developments reveal the expansive nature of what is now a Justice Department criminal probe into the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign. The revelation also comes on the heels of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report regarding the bureau's investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, announced to Fox News' Sean Hannity Wednesday night the lengthy investigative report will be released to the public on Dec., 9.

Halper, who was informing the bureau on Trump campaign advisors, is a central figure in the FBI's original investigation into President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, SaraACarter.com has learned....
.....
Multiple sources confirmed to this news site that Durham has spoken extensively with sources working in the Office of Net Assessment, as well as outside contractors, that were paid through Pentagon office.

In 2016, Halper was an integral part of the FBI's investigation into short-term Trump campaign volunteer, Carter Page and George Papadopolous. Halper first made contact with Page at his seminar in July 2016. Page, who was already on the FBI's radar, was accused at the time of being sympathetic to Russia. Halper stayed in contact with Page until September 2017....
.....
According to the DoD Inspector General's report the Office of Net Assessment (ONA) Contracting Officer's Representatives (CORs) "did not maintain documentation of the work performed by Professor Halper or any communication that ONA personnel had with Professor Halper; therefore, ONA CORs could not provide sufficient documentation that Professor Halper conducted all of his work in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. We determined that while the ONA CORs established a file to maintain documents, they did not maintain sufficient documentation to comply with all the FAR requirements related to having a complete COR.".....

There is a link in the last paragraph above to an older article involving Adam Lovinger, an NSC person who had his security clearance revoked for dubious reasons. In the article is this section:
https://www.conservativereview.com/news/deep-state-pulls-clearance-of-trump-nsc-official-rogue-agenda/

Quote:

---

.....Sources say that Lovinger's relationship soured with his Pentagon supervisor, James H. Baker, after the latter became aware that his colleague was being interviewed for a position at the NSC. Following Lovinger's transfer, Baker immediately led two investigations into his security clearance.

Allies of Lovinger describe Baker as someone who is vehemently opposed to the policies of the Trump administration. Baker was appointed by Obama Defense Secretary Ash Carter in 2015 to lead ONA. He has since been held over by the current administration, for reasons unknown......

---

Remember Sidney Powell's memo about Brady material in October? James H. Baker of ONA, Halper's handler, was alleged to have leaked transcripts of Flynn's calls to the WaPo.

An FBI official is under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a document related to 2016 surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser, several people briefed on the matter told CNN....
.....
The finding is expected to be part of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's review of the FBI's effort to obtain warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide. Horowitz will release the report next month.

Horowitz turned over evidence on the allegedly altered document to John Durham, the federal prosecutor appointed early this year by Attorney General William Barr to conduct a broad investigation of intelligence gathered for the Russia probe by the CIA and other agencies, including the FBI. The altered document is also at least one focus of Durham's criminal probe.

It's unknown how significant a role the altered document played in the FBI's investigation of Page and whether the FISA warrant would have been approved without the document. The alterations were significant enough to have shifted the document's meaning and came up during a part of Horowitz's FISA review where details were classified, according to the sources....
.....
The identity or rank of the FBI employee under investigation isn't yet known, and it's not clear whether the employee still works in the federal government. No charges that could reflect the situation have been filed publicly in court....

Here we go. Today is the day the inspector general closed the "Principal Review" phase of the upcoming IG report. Now is when the small group of corrupt DOJ and FBI officials spotlighted by the IG investigation begin trying to shape the narrative; and the leaks start with a whopper:

Quote:

.An FBI official was caught altering documents within the 2016 surveillance operation against President Trump

Keep in mind which FBI officials are now working for the media outlet, CNN, that is providing the leaks; ie. former FBI Deputy Director, Andrew McCabe; the spokesman for James Comey, Josh Campbell; a former FBI agent, Asha Rangappa; or the former FBI chief legal counsel, James Baker. All now work for CNN.

It's important to note the media source aspect because normally this type of leak would go to the Washington Post or New York Times first; ergo, it likely stems as a personal leak to one of the former allied FBI officials now working for CNN....

During the 'Principal Review' phase of Horowitz's report, individuals are given the opportunity to review sections that are pertinent to themselves. So, if one were to follow Sundance's logic regarding the leak, then Comey, McCabe & Baker would would be prime candidates for the FBI official fingered by Horowitz. But Asha Rangappa, former FBI agent -- she left the FBI in 2005, so she can't be a person of interest. However, she worked with Strzok for several years in the counterintelligence division. So I'm sticking with my guess: It's Strzok.
