NONE SO BLIND!

I thought that the liberal left was making a huge mistake by running wild with this whistleblower story. To my surprise, it is even worse than predicted. At this point, I even wonder if Trump might not have leaked this story himself. This may have been the only way to get the MSM to actually investigate the abuse of power by the Obama administration.

The true story is rapidly emerging. The Ambassador to the Ukraine was an Obama appointee.  She was recalled by the Trump administration in May. The Washington Post blamed this on:

“Trump family members and conservative media that have accused U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, without firm evidence, of being part of a conspiracy that involves anti-corruption probes in Ukraine and efforts by the Trump team to investigate ties between Ukrainian officials and the Hillary Clinton campaign.”

Of course , there is never any evidence, if no one looks and any attempt to investigate is blocked. It turns out that the Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. was reaching out to the Trump administration.

“Ambassador Valeriy Chaly said DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa pushed for Ukraine’s then-President Petro Poroshenko to mention Paul Manafort’s ties to Ukraine publicly during a visit to the U.S. and sought detailed financial information on his dealings in the country.”

“Last month, Ukraine Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko opened a probe into the so-called “black ledger” files that led to Manafort’s abrupt departure from the Trump campaign. The investigation commenced after an unearthed audio recording showed that a senior Ukrainian anticorruption official apparently admitted to leaking Manafort’s financial information in 2016 — including his ties to pro-Russian actors in Ukraine — to benefit Clinton.

Ukrainian law enforcement officials said earlier this month they had a slew of evidence of collusion and wrongdoing by Democrats and were trying to share the information with U.S. officials in the Justice Department.

A Ukrainian court recently ruled that the Manafort document leak amounted to illegal interference in the U.S. election by parliamentarian Serhiy Leshchenko and Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU).”

Newsweek actually had the facts, they just ignored them. It reported in May of 2019 that Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko claimed in March that:

U.S. ambassador Marie Yovanovitch had given him a list of individuals who should not be prosecuted.”

Newsweek was too busy trashing Trump and Giuliani to notice that this was actually a bombshell accusation that DEMANDED immediate investigation.

If they had done any investigation at all, they would have discovered something important. They would have learned that Ambassador Yovanovitch denied visas to Ukrainian officials who wanted to travel to the U.S. allegedly to deliver evidence against Obama administration misconduct.

John Solomon was reporting this in the Hill, but the MSM just ignored it.

“Kostiantyn Kulyk, deputy head of the Prosecutor General’s international Legal Cooperation Department, told me he and other senior law enforcement officials tried unsuccessfully since last year to get visas from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev to deliver their evidence to Washington. ‘We were supposed to share this information during a working trip to the United States,’ Kulyk told me in a wide-ranging interview. ‘However, the [U.S.} ambassador blocked us from obtaining a visa. She didn’t explicitly deny our visa, but also didn’t give it to us.’”

The list of allegations published by John Solomon in April of 2019 is astonishing. Yet the only one to give Solomon the chance to tell his story was Sean Hannity. In retrospect, the entire country may owe Sean Hannity as massive public apology and a standing ovation for standing up for the truth when no one else would.

  • Sworn statements from two Ukrainian officials admitting that their agency tried to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election in favor of Hillary Clinton. The effort included leaking an alleged ledger showing payments to then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort;

  • Contacts between Democratic figures in Washington and Ukrainian officials that involved passing along dirt on Donald Trump;

  • Financial records showing a Ukrainian natural gas company routed more than $3 million to American accounts tied to Hunter Biden, younger son of then-Vice President Joe Biden who managed U.S.-Ukraine relations for the Obama administration. Biden’s son served on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company, Burisma Holdings;

  • Records that Vice President Biden pressured Ukrainian officials in March 2016 to fire the prosecutor who oversaw an investigation of Burisma Holdings and who planned to interview Hunter Biden about the financial transfers;

  • Correspondence showing members of the State Department and U.S. Embassy in Kiev interfered or applied pressure in criminal cases on Ukrainian soil;

  • Disbursements of as much as $7 billion in Ukrainian funds that prosecutors believe may have been misappropriated or taken out of the country, including to the United States.

To make this worse, Ukrainian official said they didn’t want to give the evidence to the FBI because they don’t trust the FBI.

There is actually video of Joe Biden bragging about pressuring the Ukraine to fire that prosecutor.

Of course, this pales in comparison to the abuse of power demonstrated by Donald Trump when he discussed firing Robert Mueller, who refused to investigate any of this and was instead spending millions investigating alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. An investigation which found no evidence at all. If Trump actually had obstructed that investigation, he would have doing the country a favor.

The problem for the liberal left is that ANY investigation of Trump asking the Ukraine to investigate this will expose the real cover-up conducted by the Obama administration with the fawning support of the MSM.

This is so bad that some ambitious member of the MSM is likely to seize the day with the potential to becoming the re-incarnation of Edward R. Murrow. Someone with the guts and the skill to just report the obvious facts just may become a national hero.

In spite of their best efforts, the cover-up has been permanently shredded.  The MSM has absolutely refused to even consider the possibility of wrongdoing by the Obama administration because they were too obsessed with destroying Donald Trump.

There is none so blind as those who refuse to see. Soon and very soon the truth will be obvious to almost everyone. Facts, are after all, stubborn things.
