Ukraine fights narrative battle as counteroffensive stalls - NBC
Kiev and its supporters are reportedly worried about perceptions in the West
Faced with a lack of progress on the battlefield, the government in Kiev has taken up a public relations battle in the West, NBC News reported on Friday, citing several US and Ukrainian officials.
As some US officials are "frustrated at the pace" of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, Kiev and some of its backers "worry about losing control of the narrative," according to NBC.
"If the perception gets out there that the Ukrainians can't win, then we're not going to provide them the stuff they need to win,"former US ambassador to Kiev William Taylor told the outlet, warning of a "self-fulfilling prophecy."
Nikodem Rachon, spokesman for the Polish embassy in Washington, told NBC that Russia "exploits" Ukraine's lack of battlefield success in propaganda, "aiming to weaken the unity of countries supporting Ukraine."
President Vladimir Zelensky himself has admitted the "slower pace" of the counteroffensive, blaming the West for delayed deliveries of weapons and ammunition that gave the Russians time to dig in. Deputy Defense Minister Anna Maliar recently claimed gains of "about 241 square kilometers" of territory, which NBC described as "less than 100 square miles."
Some US officials who spoke to the outlet, however, "privately expressed disappointment"that Kiev seems to be holding back on using some of its best-equipped and trained units, or applying the NATO tactics they were taught.
"There is a frustration that they have not used more of the combat power that they have,"said one official, who remained anonymous. Another insisted that the US and its allies have provided Ukraine with "everything it requested"for the offensive, including 500 tanks and "hundreds" of armored vehicles.
Yuri Sak, an adviser to Ukrainian Defense Minister Aleksey Reznikov, countered that Kiev is trying to preserve its troops and weapons while probing for a weak point in Russia's defenses.
"The two things that we keep asking our allies for are weapons and patience," Sak told NBC.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Friday that Ukraine had lost more than 43,000 troops and over 4,900 pieces of heavy weaponry over the course of June and July, including German-made tanks, US-made infantry fighting vehicles, and 747 pieces of artillery.
British intelligence has blamed "weeds and shrubs" growing along the line of contact for slowing down Ukraine's armor. Kiev officials have latched onto another talking point, however. Leonid Polyakov, a former deputy defense minister of Ukraine who now works for a think tank advising President Vladimir Zelensky, told NBC that Ukraine can't properly follow US military doctrine without air support.
"We have launched a counteroffensive without any kind of air superiority - not in the air force, not in drones, not in helicopters," Polyakov said. He told a story about two Ukrainian brigades that launched unsupported attacks in June and July and got "shredded" by Russian defenses.
"We wouldn't do it. We've never done it and yet we're asking them to do it," agreed ex-ambassador Taylor, who fought in Vietnam as an infantry officer.
The US and its allies are currently training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighters, but no country has pledged to actually deliver the jets just yet.

US becomes more 'aggressive' in Ukraine support - The Hill
Washington is less concerned about "provoking Russia" with its arms supplies to Kiev, the outlet reports
US President Joe Biden's administration is becoming less cautious about its arms supplies to Ukraine, The Hill reported over the weekend, adding that Washington now believes it could get away with sending more powerful arms to Kiev without triggering an escalation.
The US has been hesitant to meet Kiev's demands for months since the start of the conflict, particularly when it came to heavy weapons like tanks or fighter jets, the media outlet said, adding that American officials initially did not believe Ukraine would hold out against Russia long enough to make use of such military aid. Washington also feared massive military assistance to Ukraine could trigger dangerous escalation in its relations with Moscow.
"We were a bit more careful at first ... not knowing if Putin ... would escalate, and also not being sure if Ukraine could use what we have [sent] them or hold out for long against Russia," said Michael O'Hanlon, a military analyst at the Brookings Institution, a think tank based in Washington, DC.
America also postponed the tests of its Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile several times in spring to avoid stirring the tensions, The Hill reported, adding that a successful test of the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) missiles was kept secret for two weeks in March for similar reasons.
Now, this attitude is reportedly changing because the US believes that Russia supposedly failed to follow through on its threats, The Hill said, citing several former American officials. "Over time, the administration has recognized that they can provide larger, more capable, longer-distance, heavier weapons to the Ukrainians and the Russians have not reacted," William Taylor, a former US ambassador to Kiev, told the media outlet.
According to the former diplomat, Moscow "bluffed and blustered, but they haven't been provoked." Earlier, the Russian officials warned they would consider Western arms convoys to be legitimate military targets - particularly when they reach Ukrainian territory. Yet, no such convoys have been hit so far, although the Russian military reported striking Ukrainian military facilities housing Western military equipment on several occasions.
Now, "the fear of provoking the Russians has gone down" within the Biden administration, Taylor believes.
"The instincts of the people in the departments and agencies, particularly State and Defense and the intelligence community, ... are to be more forward leaning and more aggressive," a former senior government official told The Hill.
In late August, Biden authorized a record arms shipment for Ukraine, worth nearly $3 billion. On September 1, the US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that more weapons packages were to be announced in the near future. According to The Hill, Washington might send Excalibur precision-guided artillery munitions to Kiev. These munitions can travel up to 70 kilometers, according to the media.
Moscow has repeatedly warned that Western arms shipments to Ukraine only prolong the conflict and exacerbate human suffering.

Q Research General #18532: TRUMP WINS 2020 BRACE FOR IMPACT Edition
We are the news now (and about 4 years ago)
https://justthenews.com/accountability/russia-and-ukraine-scandals/effort-spread-discredited-russia-collusion-theory?utm
Traitors, RINOS, and liars Oh My! (and an Ohr too)
Effort to spread discredited Russia collusion theory welcomed by McCain Senate panel, memos show
Armed Services panel secretly fought court battle this summer to quash subpoena seeking records of contacts with ex-FBI official Daniel Jones and liberal-funded The Democracy Integrity Project nonprofit.
The efforts to disseminate a now-discredited theory that the Trump campaign had secret computer communications with the Kremlin extended beyond the FBI, CIA, and State Department to the U.S. Senate.
Under the late Sen. John McCain, the Armed Services Committee engaged a former FBI official and his progressive-funded nonprofit to produce a report on the matter, according to court records obtained by Just the News.
The Senate committee, now under Democrats' control, successfully waged a secret federal court battle this summer to quash a subpoena that would have forced one of its staffers, Thomas Kirk McConnell, to turn over documents and testify about his dealings with former FBI analyst Dan Jones and his nonprofit, The Democracy Integrity Project, the records show.
A spokesman for George Soros confirms the progressive megadonor was one of the financial backers of The Democracy Integrity Project. Tax records show the group raised more than $7 million in donations in 2017 and hired Fusion GPS - the same firm that produced the debunked Steele dossier for Hillary Clinton's campaign - to pursue allegations of foreign interference in elections.
The episode, recounted in hundreds of pages of federal and D.C. Superior court records, provides extraordinary insight into how current and former government officials in multiple branches of government were able to sustain a Russia collusion theory on artificial life support for years after the FBI first dispelled it.
The legal skirmish with the Senate also provides new context to allegations filed last week by Special Counsel John Durham, who indicted a former DOJ lawyer named Michael Sussmann for lying to the FBI during his efforts to peddle the same debunked story about the Trump campaign, a computer server at the Alfa Bank in Moscow and the Kremlin. Sussmann was being paid by Hillary Clinton's campaign when he pitched the allegations to the bureau, court records show. He has pleaded not guilty.
The FBI, the Russia collusion probe Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and now Durham have all concluded the Alfa Bank allegations had no merit. "It's not true," Mueller testified in 2019.
Nonetheless, the court documents show, Jones continues to stake his reputation on the theory, insisting there was and is good reason to believe it. His lawyers argued in a recent court filing that Alfa Bank should not be allowed to release documents publicly chronicling Jones' dealings with the Senate, including the complete 600-plus page report he filed in October 2018 with the committee and his contacts with a Democratic staffer on the committee.
"The report reached seven findings … Those findings are accurate," his lawyer William Taylor argued in a Sept. 14 court filing. The Armed Services Committee first engaged his client's services in spring 2017 while McCain was chairman, the filing revealed, and Jones performed his work free of charge for more than a year through The Democracy Integrity Project, also known as TDIP.
"TDIP and Mr. Jones's analysis was conducted confidentially and pursuant to TDIP's public interest mission," the filing added. "TDIP was not paid for its analysis." The final report was never made public by the committee.
The Senate confirmed in a legal filing in federal court this summer that Jones and his group worked for the committee, asking a judge to quash a subpoena from Alfa Bank seeking records of the work and Jones' communications with McConnell, a Democratic cybersecurity staffer on the committee.
Senate lawyers argued the committee was protected by "sovereign immunity" and the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution and should not be forced to disclose the details of its work. Alfa Bank withdrew its subpoena request a few days ago before the judge could rule in the case.
Taylor, representing Jones, declined comment Thursday evening.

Justice Department releases videos of 1/6 cop-dragging attack near pro-Trump rioter who died
By Hannah Rabinowitz and Marshall Cohen, CNN 1 hr ago
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/justice-department-releases-videos-of-16-cop-dragging-attack-near-pro-trump-rioter-who-died/ar-AALYEWH
The Justice Department released new police body camera footage Friday showing one of the most disturbing assaults during the Capitol insurrection – where three officers waded into the crowd to save a pro-Trump rioter who was trampled, only to be stripped of their protective gear, dragged down a set of stairs and attacked with crutches, flagpoles, batons and bare hands.
Sarah Silbiger/Getty Images The Capitol dome is seen early Wednesday morning before Amb. William Taylor And Deputy Assistant Secretary Of State George Kent testify at the first public impeachment hearing before the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill November 13, 2019 in Washington, DC.
The DOJ released the videos after CNN and other outlets sued for access. All of the officers involved in this incident worked for Washington, DC's police force. They were identified by initials in court filings.
Officer AW stepped out of a tunnel where police were congregated and into the crowd to help Rosanne Boyland, 34, a rioter and QAnon supporter who was trampled by the mob. She died of an accidental drug overdose, according to Washington, DC's chief medical examiner. Boyland's body is seen in some of the new videos, which also show her friend screaming for assistance.
Prosecutors say AW's body-worn camera video shows defendant Jack Whitton leaping over a barricade, knocking AW onto his back and attempting to wrestle away his baton. Over AW's head, other rioters hit the police line with flagpoles and metal poles. The crowd drags AW into the crowd while he pleads for help. Members of the crowd ignore the plea, one rioter leans down and shouts, "traitor." Much of the clip is from AW's perspective on the ground looking up.
The attack landed AW in the hospital, where he got staples in his head to stop the bleeding. Whitton was charged with several felonies, including assault. He hasn't yet entered a plea.
Another officer, C.M., tried to help his colleagues. CM's bodycam footage shows another officer dragged into the crowd. It also shows Boyland lying on the ground. This is the first footage the US government has released showing Boyland's death. She was one of a few Trump supporters who died in the attack.
Prosecutors say the footage then shows defendant Michael Lopatic rushing toward CM, attacking the officer and grabbing him by the head and punching him. CM's bodycam is dislodged and falls to the ground, briefly revealing a splatter of blood.
CM got a concussion that day, though it may have been caused when he was assaulted a second time later in the day in a different incident, according to court filings. Lopatic was charged with several felonies, including assault, and hasn't entered a plea yet.
The Justice Department released two bodycam clips from another officer. One clip shows the tug-of-war between the rioters and the officers who were trying to pull their colleague to safety. The officers are repeatedly pummeled with poles and what appear to be stolen police batons.
Another bodycam clip, recorded about 20 minutes later, shows police in a second tunnel, holding the line with riot shields. Rioters throw objects, hitting the shields. According to prosecutors, Whitton is the man who is heard in the clip, shouting at the police, "you're gonna die tonight" (He later boasted to friends, saying that "I fed him to the people," referring to the officer, according to court filings).

In other words, the State Department and its Kiev embassy were routinely trading information with a man the Senate report now portrays as an asset of a hostile foreign power during a time when Biden, now the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, oversaw Ukrainian policy for the Obama administration.
To the surprise of many, the bipartisan Senate report treats Kilimnik's ties to Trump through Manafort very differently than his dealings with the Obama administration on one of Biden's signature policy issues.
The report concluded Kilimnik posed a "grave counterintelligence threat" to Trump because of the Manafort ties, while Kilimnik's Obama-Biden State Department contacts were dismissed with little concern. "Communications Kilimnik had with the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv and other communications with his associates reveal Kilimnik's longstanding focus on the issue of resolving the conflict in eastern Ukraine," the report said.
In fact, most of Kilimnik's contacts with State were reduced to footnotes and passing sentences in a report that made Kilimnik's ties to Manafort and Trump sound nefarious.
Some intelligence officials interviewed by Just the News expressed surprise at the disparate treatment.
"The Senate report does not give a complete picture to the Obama-era State Department contacts where information was shared two ways with Kilimnik and Manafort," said a U.S. intelligence source directly familiar with Russia intelligence and Kilimnik's dealings with State. "Either this is as serious for State as it was for Trump and there needs to be a damage assessment, or the Senate report is overstating the concerns about Kilimnik for political effect."
A second U.S. official agreed the State Department emails obtained by Just the News likely merited a damage assessment if Kilimnik truly was a Russian intelligence officer. "If you have a verified contact with someone suspected of being an intelligence officer or working with a hostile foreign service, you usually have to do a damage assessment," the source said.
State Department officials, including the now-retired Ambassador Schultz, did not return emails seeking comment Monday.
Manafort was forced to resign in August 2016 as Trump's campaign chairman after his Ukraine lobbying work came under investigation, and he was eventually convicted of financial crimes during the Mueller investigation. Kilimnik was also charged by Mueller with obstruction of justice, but to date he has not been arrested. Both the Mueller and Senate reports allege Manafort, while working with the Trump campaign, shared polling data with Kilimnik.
Mueller's final report suggested Kilimnik was assessed to have had ties to Russian intelligence but stopped short of calling him a Russian officer like the Senate report later would. Kilimnik has long denied working for Russian intelligence.
Hundreds of pages of State Department emails, interviews and other communications reviewed by Just the News show Mueller's team gathered evidence that both Kilimnik and Manafort had extensive dealings with the Obama State Department prior to the Russia probe starting in summer 2016.
The documents state flatly that Manafort had been used by the U.S. embassy for nearly a decade as a facilitator with Ukrainian officials on topics as sensitive as getting Ukrainians to turn over nuclear materials and arranging European aid packages. Kilimnik, meanwhile, was treated as a "sensitive source" since at least 2013 by the U.S. embassy's top officials in Kiev, the memos also show.
An FBI interview with Manafort, for instance, divulged that the then-Republican lobbyist was regularly used by the U.S. embassy as an intermediary to the Ukrainian government run by the Russia-friendly Viktor Yanukovych, who was ousted from power in early 2014. Manafort "briefed U.S. Ambassadors in succession; John Herbst, William Taylor, John Teft, and Geoffrey Pyatt, on a regular basis," the FBI wrote in a Sept. 2, 2014 report of its Manafort interview.
In other words, Manafort was a regular collaborator with State.

Hundreds of pages of State Department emails, interviews and other communications reviewed by Just the News show Mueller's team gathered evidence that both Kilimnik and Manafort had extensive dealings with the Obama State Department prior to the Russia probe starting in summer 2016.
The documents state flatly that Manafort had been used by the U.S. embassy for nearly a decade as a facilitator with Ukrainian officials on topics as sensitive as getting Ukrainians to turn over nuclear materials and arranging European aid packages. Kilimnik, meanwhile, was treated as a "sensitive source" since at least 2013 by the U.S. embassy's top officials in Kiev, the memos also show.
An FBI interview with Manafort, for instance, divulged that the then-Republican lobbyist was regularly used by the U.S. embassy as an intermediary to the Ukrainian government run by the Russia-friendly Viktor Yanukovych, who was ousted from power in early 2014. Manafort "briefed U.S. Ambassadors in succession; John Herbst, William Taylor, John Teft, and Geoffrey Pyatt, on a regular basis," the FBI wrote in a Sept. 2, 2014 report of its Manafort interview.
In other words, Manafort was a regular collaborator with State.

These officials and servants are distinguished by a professionalism that survives and edges out their partisan bearings, by an understanding that the codes of conduct and rules of engagement become more important, not less, when passions run hot. They're incorrigible that way. Invaluable, too.
"Thank God for the deep state," John McLaughlin, a former deputy and acting director of the C.I.A., said in October 2019 at a panel on election security at the National Press Club in Washington. It was organized and sponsored by the Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy and International Security at George Mason University, and McLaughlin's fellow panelists were other former leaders of the C.I.A. and F.B.I.
But my deep state is both deeper and broader than those agencies. It extends beyond the diplomats (William Taylor, Marie Yovanovitch) and security officials (Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman) who played starring roles in Trump's impeachment.
Anthony Fauci is the steely superhero of my deep state, and he's flanked and fortified by all the government health officials who also pushed back against the quackery of Scott Atlas, the Trump-flattering pandemic adviser who resigned on Monday.
They belong to a quiet and then not-so-quiet resistance that blunted, thwarted or tried to blunt and thwart Trump's worst impulses when it came not just to public health but also to foreign policy, immigration, the environment. In The Times late last week, Lisa Friedman described such efforts within the Environmental Protection Agency.
"With two months left of the Trump administration," she wrote, "career E.P.A. employees find themselves where they began, in a bureaucratic battle with the agency's political leaders. But now, with the Biden administration on the horizon, they are emboldened to stymie Mr. Trump's goals and to do so more openly."
That's the deep state rearing up. That's the deep state roaring. It should be music to our ears.

Evidence Surfaces of John Durham Grand Jury - Team Following Deep State Rabbit Hole Leading to Senate Intel Committee Corruption...
Pg. 3
William Taylor was/is also the lawyer for Fusion-GPS, as noted in a 2017 Politico article: "Fusion lawyers William Taylor and Josh Levy wrote as they renewed their request for a temporary restraining order from U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan."
Now, let me explain what this is all about.... and where this is going.
When President Trump won the November 2016 election all of those participants involved in the use of government offices and agencies for corrupt political intent had a real problem. Immediately, a lot of strategic planning took place by a lot of desperate people.
One of the key needs of the corrupt intelligence apparatus was to find a way to stop the incoming administration from exposing their effort; that's where the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) comes in.
Senator Dianne Feinstein was vice-chair of the SSCI in 2016. Feinstein's chief of staff was Dan Jones. The post-election plan to protect the intel community would involve using the SSCI institution to cover for prior Obama-era operations.
Senator Feinstein was not a good fit for that role, so Feinstein abdicated her position in advance of the next congress.
In January 2017 Senator Mark Warner took over as SSCI vice-chair and Dan Jones left the SSCI to continue the operation as a freelance operative. Warner was put into place to carry out the strategic objectives needed to protect the DOJ, NSD, CIA, FBI and ODNI operations against Donald Trump who was now the incoming president-elect.
Keep in mind with control of the SSCI the group inside the legislative branch could control who ran what intelligence agency because they held the power of confirmation; and they could control who would rise to be inspector general within the intelligence community, a position needed if a whistle-blower was to surface.
Additionally, the SSCI would control intelligence information and assist the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel after appointment. The SSCI could work as a sword and a shield as needed. Which is exactly what happened.
That background, the motive of the SSCI, explains every point of conflict and corruption we have seen from the SSCI toward the White House in the past four years.
Meanwhile Dan Jones went freelance and was given $50 million to fund an investigative outfit called the "Penn Quarter Group" and create a new organization called the Democracy Integrity Project.
"Jones told federal investigators that he had raised $50 million from "7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California." (link)
Jones used both groups to continue selling and pushing the Trump-Russia narrative. Also it was important for those at risk to find an alternate route to keep financing their defense without using Clinton's legal team within Perkins Coie.
Essentially, in 2017 Dan Jones, through his Penn Quarter Group, took over funding for Fusion-GPS and Glenn Simpson and kept paying Christopher Steele. The payments to these entities and Steele always looked more like a pay-off to keep their mouths shut. Jones was essentially the bag-man for continued Trump-Russia operations outside government.

Evidence Surfaces of John Durham Grand Jury - Team Following Deep State Rabbit Hole Leading to Senate Intel Committee Corruption...
Pg. 2
The second outlined effort is a set of subpoenas for some of the same names to appear before a grand jury being run by the John Durham probe. The witnesses are lawyered-up and attempting to avoid the grand jury subpoenas.
Part of the New Yorker story is constructed around wondering if the Alfa Bank team is working with the Durham team. That is a false narrative created for political deflection only. However, the article outlines factual evidence of the Durham grand jury; and by knowing what issues are being explored we can see -in advance- where this trail is going.
Good News Pause: John Durham has a grand jury impaneled and is issuing subpoenas.
Instead of me going through the Alfa Bank story, let me just take you though a process of where the Alfa Bank story ends up. That's where Durham/Aldenberg will ultimately be; and for transparency I have spoken with William Aldenberg about their destination.
Note in the New Yorker piece the subjects of the subpoenas and lawsuits are worried about being forced to identify the anonymous sources known as "Max" and "Tea Leaves".
Additionally the group describes their worry about identifying how the electronic signals between the servers were originally discovered.
Let me say up front that is where this story connects to the scandal of intelligence community "contractor" access to the NSA database.
The SIGINT or signals intelligence, used to frame the false Alfa Bank story, appears to have come from entities with access to the NSA database who were doing work to assist the overall Trump-Russia narrative construction. Those unlawfully obtained findings were manipulated and unlawfully extracted; then passed along to computer scientists who had the role to provide technical support for the media to use in selling a false story.
If this sounds to you like the subject matter expertise and skill of Crowdstrike and Fusion-GPS you would not be missing the target.
[...] The Alfa Bank case has also become an object of interest for federal agents working for John Durham, the prosecutor appointed by Barr. Durham's agents have summoned some of the same computer scientists to testify before a grand jury, and are asking for the same material that Alfa Bank is seeking. (They've asked Jones, the investigator, to testify as well.) Some agents told scientists that they were exploring a potential criminal charge-presumably against Max and Tea Leaves-for giving false information to the government. A number of those called to testify are seeking to quash the subpoenas, and it's not apparent that anyone has testified so far.
There is no clear evidence that the Justice Department and Alfa Bank are working together, but some people involved in the case noted a striking alignment of purpose. "There's a heck of a lot of mutual interest," William Taylor, an attorney for [Dan] Jones, told me. (more)
Notice here that William Taylor in 2020 is representing Dan Jones. And Dan Jones is outlined as the central player in the Alfa Bank story construction; as pushed to media.

First, let me set the stage for new readers. No-one is more cynical of DC operations and manipulations than me. I do not sell nor promote 'hope porn', and I am not confident that anything is close to being revealed. Indeed, given the scale and scope of what took place in the last eight years, yes eight years; I have expressed doubts that anyone in government would ever actually expose it.
That said, in addition to my own cynicism I have been deep in this "spygate" or "Russiagate" rabbit hole; factually and physically inside the DC network; long enough to see the map of an investigative trail bringing up the rear.
During one great conversation a lawyer said to me: "All of this you know; all of this you have evidence for; but we don't have the badges". Thus began my 2020 effort, ultimately a successful effort, to drag the badges into the hole. That's the background for an update with new information:
A very important article was written yesterday in the New Yorker [SEE HERE]. While the topic of the article spotlights the ridiculous conspiracy theory surrounding Alfa bank, and the insufferable nonsense about Trump Tower servers having contact -electronic touch signals- with servers from the Russian banking organization, there are aspects to the story that show where the Durham probe has been forced to travel.
Within the article -which everyone should read- some names are very important. The article is framed around defending the New Yorker's previous reporting on the Alfa Bank conspiracy theory, so the intent of the article is defensive. However, the events being described in the article, and more importantly the people being outlined in the article, are accurate. Especially Daniel Jones and his lawyer William Taylor; and the connection of both to Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson.
According to the article there are two parallel efforts underway to untangle the background of how the false Alfa Bank story was originated. One effort is a set of civil lawsuits by the owners of Alfa bank against those who created the fraudulent story that flowed through Fusion GPS, into Chris Steele's dossier, into the FBI, and ultimately into the Buzzfeed reporting therein. The owners of the bank are taking all of these entities into court and demanding discovery of sources who framed/created the false impression.

Q Research General #13657: Evil and corruption @ highest levels
Democrats had extensive contact with Ukrainian they now use for 'red scare' attack on GOP
Andrii Telizhenko was frequent contact for Obama State Department, DOJ and NSC, U.S. memos show.
For months, Democrats on Capitol Hill have waged a whisper campaign to disparage the reputation of a former Ukrainian government official named Andrii Telizhenko, who has emerged as a fact witness for Republicans investigating the controversial business deals of Joe Biden's son Hunter. Led by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.), the Democrats have tried to suggest - without evidence - that Telizhenko is connected to Ukrainian Parliamentary member Andrii Derkach, identified by U.S. intelligence as leading Russian disinformation efforts targeting Joe Biden in the 2020 election and sanctioned by the Trump Treasury Department. Their campaign will break into the open Wednesday on the Senate floor when Democrats try to force a vote on a resolution criticizing Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) suggesting the probe he and Senate Finance Committee chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) are leading into the Bidens' Ukraine dealings is part of Derkach's election meddling. Their argument is thin, relying on the fact that Telizhenko has talked publicly about some of the same issues as Derkach. Their resolution is likely to fail in the GOP-controlled Senate. But the Democrats' character-assassination campaign suffers a much bigger problem: Long before he assisted the GOP Senate investigation, Telizhenko was a trusted mid-level Ukrainian government contact for the Obama-Biden administration, according to scores of U.S. government emails and memos obtained by Just the News. The memos show Telizhenko routinely arranged sensitive meetings for senior State Department officials at the U.S. embassy in Kiev, met with senior Democrats on Capitol Hill, including current House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), and facilitated contacts with Ukrainians for the National Security Council and the U.S. Justice Department in Washington dating to 2013. He also was cleared for meetings inside the Obama White House, Secret Service entry logs show. His contacts included such senior State officials as William Taylor and Geoffrey Pyatt, two ambassadors, the memos show. In another words, the man the Democrats are now using for a "red scare" attack on the GOP senators was actually their own party's Ukrainian contact, vetted and cleared by the State Department to meet with senior officials like ambassadors and DOJ prosecutors on sensitive foreign matters.
Telizhenko also was hired by the Democratic-leaning firm known as Blue Star Strategies to help Burisma Holdings - the Ukrainian gas firm that hired Hunter Biden as a board member in 2014 - lobby the State Department and Ukrainian prosecutors to drop corruption allegations against the company in 2016, the memos show. Telizhenko, in fact, was so trusted and familiar with Obama administration officials that he was on a first-name basis, trading smiley face emoticons and arranging coffee and beer outings in Washington with such contacts as Obama-era National Security Council staffer Elisabeth Zentos, the memos show. "Hi Andrii! I'm doing ok. Yes, definitely got some rest over the weekend. How about you?" Zentos wrote April 4, 2016 to Telizhenko from her official White House email account. "Survive the visit ok? Also, should we still plan for coffee this week? Maybe Wednesday or Friday? Hope all is well! Liz." A month earlier, a planned beer outing with Zentos got changed. "Would you be up for doing coffee instead of beer though? I'm realizing that if I drink beer at 3 p.m., I will probably fall asleep while attempting to work afterward," Zentos wrote. Zentos and Telizhenko also discussed the sensitive case of Burisma and its founder, Mykola Zlochevsky, in a July 2016 email exchange with the subject line "Re: Z," the shorthand Telizhenko used to refer to the Burisma founder. Their email exchange did not mention Hunter Biden's role in the company but showed the Obama White House had interest in the business dealings of Hunter Biden's boss. "Hi Liz, Yes, It would be great to meet, tomorrow whatever works best for you 12:30pm or 6pm- I am ready," Telizhenko wrote the NSC staffer, adding a smiley face. Zentos eventually replied when he suggested a restaurant: "Ooh, that would be wonderful-thanks so much!" Attached to Telizhenko's email was an org chart showing the structure of some foreign companies that had been connected at one point to Zlochevsky's business empire. The memos show Zentos first befriended Telizhenko when she worked at the U.S. embassy as far back as 2014.

George Soros - The God Emperor Of Ukraine
https://creativedestructionmedia.com/investigations/2019/11/15/george-soros-the-god-emperor-of-ukraine/
Soros Runs US Government In Ukraine, Not President Trump
With the 'impeachment' inquiry underway in the U.S. House of Representatives, any reasonable person will see the lineup of U.S. government officials arrayed against POTUS for disagreeing with them on American foreign policy. Impeachment is not just about removing President Trump from office, or to prevent his re-election, it is about securing future control over American operations in foreign countries by the progressive Deep State that was established under the Obama Administration.
These people have become drunk on power and on lot's of your money; they don't want this gravy train to stop.
Soros and his NGOs have essentially taken over the operations of the U.S. government in Ukraine. Open Society or Aspen Institute people have been placed strategically in positions of power throughout the Department of State, CIA, FBI, USAID, and other American governmental instruments. Soros NGOs like the Open Society Institute, the Aspen Institute, and the International Renaissance Foundation train a pipeline of cadre that when experienced enough are placed in the appropriate positions of power.
This also happens on the Ukrainian side. Soros-influenced personnel are located throughout the Ukrainian government, and penetrate every ministry in the country. These strategic tactics were honed by the Soros infrastructure in the Balkans and also in Central Europe.
These well-placed Soros agents make sure any decisions regarding commercial banks, sale of land, decentralization, minority benefits, etc, are all decided in favor of the progressive agenda. This process leads to the loss of sovereignty and the economic plunder of Ukraine. Much of the billions in aid given by the U.S. government and the International Monetary Fund are in turn given to Soros NGOs in-country in order to further the Soros plan. These developments have led to looting, laundering of money, breakdown of government institutions, bankruptcies and the fire-sale of government-owned institutions in Ukraine.
Sources within Ukraine inform CD Media that the Soros agenda includes getting control of Naftogas assets in-country, control of the central bank, control of land by forcing the sale of agricultural land to foreign companies, and control of the political system in Ukraine.
Intelligence sources tell CD Media that the following people and institutions are or were in the Soros cabal in Ukraine:
State Department, USAID, FBI, etc - George Kent, Marie Yovanovitch, Karen Greenway, Martha Boersh, Geoffrey Pyatt, Michael McFaul, William Taylor
World Bank: Sato Kahkomen
Ukrainian Officials: former President Petro Poroshenko, former Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Volodymyr Groisman, former Finance Minister Natalia Jaresco (US citizen), former Finance Minister Alexandr Danilyuk, Finance Minister Oksana Markarova, Yuriy Vitrenko (Naftogas and Ukroboronprom), Andrei Kobolev (Naftogas), Aivaras Abromacius (Minister of Economic Development and Ukrobornoprom), Alexei Gonocharuk (current prime minister), Timofiy Milovanov (Minister of Economic Development), Inna Sovsun, Yuriy Blashuk, Petr Chernyshov (Kyivstar), Vladislav Rsahkovan (IMF, NBU).
Oligarchs: Viktor Pinchuk allegedly owes more than $1 billion to George Soros funds or banks. Pinchuk controls people within the Ukrainian government and lobbies for legislation that supports the progressive agenda.
Investment Banking: Dragon Capital, Tomas Fiala
Strategic Consulting: George Massoud at McKinsy Kyiv, Lazard Managing Partner Boijdar Djelic (former Finance Minister in Yugoslavia)
Political Parties: Golos (Vyacheslav Vakarchuk, Julia Klimenko). Golos is co-sponsored by Dragon Capital and the Soros machine.

answering questions
Q: Mr. Ambassador, amid political strife in the United States, the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, how should Ukraine behave in this situation? Do we have to express any position, to comment on something?
A: I think it's best for Ukraine to keep out of this. That should be the American political crisis. And it does not help Ukraine to become a footballer in American politics. There is a fine line (between the two sides). The risk is you don't want to endanger the bipartisan support in Congress of Ukraine, Republicans, and Democrats.
And so far I think the government has been doing a pretty good job working on that line. When I say government, I mean the American term.
So leave this... This is an American political crisis. Don't be involved.
Q: When you talk about the crisis, do you mean a threat of the president's impeachment? Is it possible in view of the complexity of the procedure?
A: My guess is the things quite now head to the impeachment by the House. Technically, if the House votes to impeach, if he (President Trump) is impeached, another question is whether the Senate convicts him or not. The question is whether the Senate will decide to convict him or not, and that is not clear.
Q: Some experts believe that as part of the investigation, the U.S. Congress may send a request to Ukraine to provide any testimony, documents, perhaps our version of the transcript of the phone call between Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky? Is that possible at all?
A: I think it's very unlikely. Because what we've seen in the last two weeks, pretty much the witnesses of testifying, including two prominent state officers who testified yesterday - Ambassador William Taylor, Dr. Fiona Hill, and George Kent - they told a pretty consistent story. They corroborate each other. So, the Congressional committees will say they have the information. I'd be surprised if they'd come to Ukraine for more information.

Another Major Clue: Documents Reveal Schiff Staffer Met with Key Impeachment Inquiry Witness on August Ukraine Trip

In March, I wrote a post in which I asked, "What is the connection between James Clapper, Victor Pinchuk, and the chief technology officer of CrowdStrike, which was the only company the DNC allowed to access their server?" This post jumped into my head the moment I saw a Breitbart article reporting that one of Adam Schiff's staffers had met with diplomat William Taylor on a trip to Ukraine which was organized by The Atlantic Council.
The Atlantic Council is a super liberal think-tank which receives much of its funding from Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas company where Hunter Biden had served as a board member.
Breitbart's Aaron Klein obtained a copy of travel documents which showed that, twelve days after the "whistleblower" submitted his complaint to the Intelligence Community Inspector General, one of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's staffers, Thomas Eager, held a meeting with acting U.S. ambassador (or Charge d'Affaires) to Ukraine William Taylor. The two were on a trip to Ukraine which had been organized by The Atlantic Council. It was "billed as a bipartisan Ukraine Study Trip in which ten Congressional staffers participated."
Eager is a member of The Atlantic Council and Taylor has a "close relationship" with the organization as well.

Video transcript;
Jim Jordan: Imma read it one more time, Ambassador Taylor recalls that Mr. Morrison told Ambassador Taylor that I told Mr. Morrison that I conveyed this message to Mr. Yermak on September 1st 2019 in connection with Vice President Pence's visit to Warsaw and a meeting with President Zelensky. We got 6 people having 4 conversations in one sentence, and you just told me this is where you got your clear understanding …which I I mean, even though you had 3 opportunities with President Zelensky for him to tell you, you know what, we're gonna do these investigations and get the aid. Didn't tell you 3 different times, never makes an announcement, never tweets about it, never does a CNN interview. Ambassador, you weren't on the call were you, the President, you didn't listen in on President Trump's call, President Zelensky's call?
William Taylor: I did not.
Jim Jordan: You never talked with Chief of Staff Mulvaney. William Taylor: I never did.
Jim Jordan: You never met the President.
William Taylor: That's correct.
Jim Jordan: You had 3 meetings again with Zelensky and it didn't come up.
William Taylor: And 2 of those they'd never heard about as far as I know.
Jim Jordan: And President Ze..
William Taylor: And there was no reason for it to come up.
Jim Jordan: And President Zelensky never made an announcement. This is what I can't believe. And you're their star witness

December 30, 2019 - 6:46 PM
WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Mike Pompeo plans to visit Ukraine on Friday amid the drama on Capitol Hill over President Donald Trump's impeachment.
Pompeo will be the highest-ranking official to visit Ukraine's capital, Kiev, since the July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that led to Trump's impeachment by the Democratic-led House this month on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
The visit, which will include a meeting with Zelensky, is intended "to underscore the strong, unwavering U.S. support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression," a senior State Department official told reporters during a preview of the trip. The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the U.S. is committed to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, including a refusal to recognize Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea.
"Crimea is part of Ukraine, and the United States will never recognize Russia's attempt to annex it," the official said.
Pompeo also plans to meet with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko and Defense Minister Andriy Zagorodnyuk, as well as religious, civil society and business community leaders to discuss the government's reform agenda, among other topics, according to a statement issued by spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus.
The timing of Pompeo's visit to Kiev is awkward. He arrives a day after the departure of William Taylor, the acting U.S. ambassador whom Pompeo hand-picked to replace Marie Yovanovitch when she was recalled abruptly under pressure from Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney. Taylor's appointment had a time limit, but he did not have to leave until Jan. 14.
The State Department official declined to directly answer two questions from reporters about why Taylor was returning home the day before Pompeo's arrival. Instead, the official reiterated that Pompeo aims to show continued U.S. support for Ukraine's independence and a series of Zelensky's reforms, primarily strengthening the rule of law and combating corruption to foster more international investment.
Ukraine has emerged as the epicenter of the House inquiry that led to Trump's impeachment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has so far declined to transmit the articles of impeachment as Democrats try to seek assurances about the scope of an expected trial of Trump in the Republican-led Senate.
At the heart of the Democrats' case is the allegation that Trump tried to leverage a White House meeting and military aid, sought by Ukraine to combat Russian military aggression, to pressure Zelensky to launch an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as a probe of an unfounded theory that Kiev conspired with Democrats to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
The official speaking Monday declined to answer questions about whether Pompeo would talk with Ukrainian officials about pursuing a Biden investigation, which Giuliani was pushing as a precondition for U.S. security assistance.
Giuliani has continued to press Ukrainian officials for information that could benefit Trump politically. Giuliani's latest trip to the country was earlier this month.
Though the United States has been focused on foreign policy involving Ukraine, Moscow is likely to be more attentive to Pompeo's trip to Minsk, in Belarus.
The United States has not had an ambassador in Belarus since 2008, when most U.S. diplomats were expelled after Washington announced sanctions on the country over human rights abuses. Now, the United States is preparing to restore diplomatic ties with Belarus, sometimes referred to as "the last dictatorship in Europe," as Russian President Vladimir Putin tries to "integrate" it closer to the Russian Federation.
Following his visit to Ukraine and Belarus, Pompeo plans to stop in other countries in the region.
"Excited to travel to Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Cyprus in the new year to meet with counterparts and affirm U.S. priorities across Europe and South Central Asia," Pompeo said in a tweet Monday.

The entire time Nayvaichenko was helping to design US-Ukraine policy, Pravy Sektor's Dimitry Yarosh was behind the curtain moving Ukraine policy. While that's not Taylor's doing or his fault, instead of cleaning the mess, he dove into it.
So, whose banner did Taylor raise over the US Embassy in Kiev? It belongs to Dimitry Yarosh and the OUN US Diaspora. The following video is graphic. A man is murdered. This is Pravy Sektor showing Ukrainian nationalism at its best.

Impeachment inquiry: It's a question of who should run the show
By Sharyl Attkisson, opinion contributor - 11/25/19 09:00 AM EST
Many will debate the substance of the public impeachment testimony against President Trump. To me, each of the Democrats' witnesses of the past two weeks appeared to be well-intentioned and hard-working, and seemed genuinely to believe they know what's best.
But a picture also emerged of U.S. diplomats who appear to believe they, rather than the U.S. president, have the ultimate authority to determine our foreign policy. And if the president doesn't go along? He clearly must be wrong - in their view. Or, even worse, he's a traitor. He's to be obstructed. Taken down.
In an odd turnabout, they actually make the case for President Trump's mantra that we need to "drain the swamp."
One can first look at the language witnesses used as they vented about Trump's tutelage in ways that veered far from relevance to the impeachment allegations. They conveyed hurt feelings, bruised egos and strong differences of opinion. At times, the testimony sounded a bit like a human resources conference or psychotherapy session.
The diplomats testified that they were "shocked and devastated" to learn that Trump and Ukraine's new president did not have faith in them. They complained that, under Trump, "foreign service professionals are being denigrated and undermined" and the State Department isn't getting the "attention and respect" it deserves. They expressed "disappointment" that Trump had the nerve to defy the federal agencies by not discussing "any of our interagency agreed-upon talking points" in Trump's first call with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky. They were "embarrassed" in front of Ukrainians when they didn't have answers about U.S. policy.
Former Ambassador William Taylor called the team that Trump relied on the "irregular channel." Taylor was among those who described feeling excluded or left out, at times, along with former National Security Council official Fiona Hill, diplomat George Kent, and Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the U.S. national security adviser who oddly confirmed under oath that he'd been repeatedly approached and offered the job of defense minister in Ukraine earlier this year.
It was hard not to notice that virtually the entire U.S. diplomatic staff never spoke about executing U.S. foreign policy as determined by the president of the United States - the man in charge, according to the Constitution. Instead, they spoke as if their primary mission was to advocate for Ukraine and its new, unproven president whom President Trump was sizing up. They spoke of protecting "longstanding" or "official" policy - against Trump's wishes. When Trump differed with their assessments and relied on his chosen adviser, his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, they collectively lost their minds.

Q Research General #7855: More Than The Gist Edition
Gregory Craig, who served as White House counsel to President Barack Obama, was charged with lying and concealing information from federal authorities in the first case against a prominent Democrat stemming from Russia special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
The charges center on work Craig performed in 2012 on behalf of a pro-Russian political faction in Ukraine, part of an illicit lobbying effort by Paul Manafort, the former chairman of Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
Manafort was one of six top Trump associates charged in Mueller's inquiry into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election. He was sentenced to a combined prison term of more than seven years last month after financial fraud convictions in Virginia and Washington, all related to his work in Ukraine.
Craig, 74, is accused of making false statements and concealing information from the Justice Department's Foreign Agents Registration Unit regarding his work for the Ukrainian government. People who lobby on behalf of foreign governments in the USA are required to register with the department. Craig was also charged with repeating those lies to Mueller's investigators in 2017.
Craig's attorneys, William Taylor and William Murphy, called the government action an abuse of power. "Mr. Craig is not guilty of any charge and the government's stubborn insistence on prosecuting Mr. Craig is a misguided abuse of prosecutorial discretion," the attorneys said in a joint statement.
The lobbying campaign happened after Craig left the Obama administration and before Trump began seeking the presidency.
The attorney's former law firm, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, agreed in January to pay $4.6 million to the Justice Department for its work on behalf of Ukraine's government. At that time, prosecutors did not identify Craig but said a senior partner at the firm had lied to the department about the work to avoid having to register with the government when working on behalf of a foreign power.
Skadden was hired to write a report about the prosecution of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who was sentenced to seven years in prison for abusing the powers of her office. The country's new government, closely aligned with Russia, sought to portray the trial as fair and improve Ukraine's public image, but Craig didn't want to report the work under the registration act, the indictment says.
"I don't want to register as a foreign agent under FARA," Craig wrote Feb. 13, 2012, according to the indictment. "I think we don't have to with this assignment, yes?"
Craig secured a $4 million commitment for the work after meeting with an unnamed, wealthy Ukrainian on April 6, 2012, according to the indictment. Craig negotiated with the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice for a contract that falsely stated the work wouldn't require reporting to the U.S. government and would be worth about $12,000, the indictment says.
Members of the law firm again discussed whether to report the work to the U.S. government. "I don't really care who you ask but we need an answer from someone who we can rely on with a straight face," Craig replied April 16, 2012, according to the indictment.
Craig's firm received the $4 million from the private Ukrainian as promised after it passed through a third-party bank account in Cyprus, the indictment says. A Ukrainian newspaper questioned in an editorial the publicly announced amount of $12,000, saying it "could not seriously have been the total amount that Ukraine was paying," the indictment says.
The firm's lawyers discussed disclosing the larger payment, but the Ukrainian who sent the money objected to being identified, the indictment says. The firm backdated a letter and invoices to the Ukrainian government totaling $1.25 million to give the appearance of a larger official payment, according to the indictment.
Craig's firm had to avoid publicly promoting its report favoring Ukraine's new government for fear of running afoul of the U.S. reporting law, but Craig provided background briefings to reporters who questioned the fairness of Tymoshenko's prosecution, the indictment says.
Craig was congratulated on the resulting media coverage, the indictment says. "People in Kiev are very happy," a lobbyist wrote Craig on Dec. 12, 2012, according to the indictment. "You are 'THE MAN.'"
Craig, whose case was referred by Mueller to other Justice prosecutors, was Obama's White House counsel in 2009 and 2010.

Ex-Obama White House Counsel expects to be charged over Ukraine work: statement
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Gregory Craig, a former White House Counsel in the Obama administration, expects to be indicted this week on charges stemming from work for Ukraine in 2012, his lawyers said on Wednesday.
"We expect an indictment by the DC US Attorney's Office at the request of the (Justice Department's) National Security Division," Craig's lawyers William Taylor and William Murphy said in a statement.
Craig, White House Counsel for President Barack Obama for one year from January 2009, is expected to be charged with making false statements to the Justice Department but other charges could also be brought, sources familiar with the case said.

It's probably not lost on many here the cultural similarities and quality of life for the commoner residents who live inside these totalitarian regimes. You can almost imagine the vast populations of all these cultures simultaneously acting out their authoritatively defined roles - the the uniformity of dress and thought and belief and behavior required for the cult of Mao Zedong in China. And you can simultaneously picture in your mind thousands of identically garbed Muslims, in row after row, bowing down obediently toward Mecca, as they are instructed to do five times per day, in parallel columns and reciting the same scripted prayer. And you can almost look back in time, to see the enslaved generations of Egypt who were forced to build those enormous pyramids out of countless, uniformly shaped blocks of stone, all in order to exalt Pharaohs who considered themselves gods and yet who relentlessly pursued eternal life.
Which is a good segue to an old news article about John Kerry visiting Egypt to influence an election to benefit the Muslim Brotherhood.
Senator John Kerry (D., Mass.) is in Egypt, meeting with leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood - the Islamist organization whose goals are to destroy Israel, "conquer Europe" and "conquer America" (to quote its most influential jurist, Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi).
The Brotherhood, which operates throughout the world, seeks the imposition by governments of strict sharia law (as outlined in Reliance of the Traveller: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law) and, eventually, a global caliphate. Naturally, the Obama administration describes it as a "largely secular" and moderate organization - and William Taylor, President Obama's hand-picked "special coordinator for transitions in the Middle East," announced last month that the administration would be quite "satisfied" with a Brotherhood victory in the Egyptian elections.
There are many other examples of this support/fostering of Islamic radicals.

"...The Obama Administration has chosen a different path – one that would result in keeping Hamas in power and empowering the Muslim Brotherhood at the expense of moderate, pro-Western Arabs and Muslims.
"Kerry is exploiting the war to restore the influence of Muslim Brotherhood in the region," charged a Palestinian official in Ramallah. "The Americans mistakenly think that moderate political Islam, represented by Muslim Brotherhood, would be able to combat radical Islam. The Americans are trying to bring the Muslim Brotherhood back to the region."
A senior Iranian military official, Gen. Qassem Slimani, issued an unprecedented warning against any attempt to disarm Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip.
"Disarming the (Palestinian) resistance groups is an illusion and it will not happen," he said. Such a warning would not have been issued had the Iranians not sensed weakness on the part of the Obama Administration. Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and their patrons in Qatar, Turkey and Iran are clearly satisfied with the way the Obama Administration is handling the conflict.
Despite the massive evidence linking CAIR to Hamas and other terror groups, the Obama administration repeatedly invited CAIR officials and other supremacist Islamic groups to the White House, IPT noted.

Former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig retains lawyer William Taylor III, founding member of Zuckerman Spaeder law firm.
The case was referred to federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York to consider charges against Greg Craig and other Democratic Party players.
Craig is being looked at due to possible failure to register as a foreign agent under Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Manafort just pleaded guilty to FARA violation so if the SC has seen others with FARA violations, he would be under pressure to submit those charges too or claims of bias with gain traction.
Craig also previously worked for Skadden Arps law firm who is also under investigation for foreign influence peddling.
Tony Podesta was also referred around the same time in early summer.

The legal skirmish with the Senate also provides new context to allegations filed last week by Special Counsel John Durham, who indicted a former DOJ lawyer named Michael Sussmann for lying to the FBI during his efforts to peddle the same debunked story about the Trump campaign, a computer server at the Alfa Bank in Moscow and the Kremlin. Sussmann was being paid by Hillary Clinton's campaign when he pitched the allegations to the bureau, court records show. He has pleaded not guilty.
File
9901e223-403a-47ce-93e0-1d78a5ff6627.pdf
The FBI, the Russia collusion probe Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and now Durham have all concluded the Alfa Bank allegations had no merit. "It's not true," Mueller testified in 2019.
Nonetheless, the court documents show, Jones continues to stake his reputation on the theory, insisting there was and is good reason to believe it. His lawyers argued in a recent court filing that Alfa Bank should not be allowed to release documents publicly chronicling Jones' dealings with the Senate, including the complete 600-plus page report he filed in October 2018 with the committee and his contacts with a Democratic staffer on the committee.
"The report reached seven findings ... Those findings are accurate," his lawyer William Taylor argued in a Sept. 14 court filing. The Armed Services Committee first engaged his client's services in spring 2017 while McCain was chairman, the filing revealed, and Jones performed his work free of charge for more than a year through The Democracy Integrity Project, also known as TDIP.
"TDIP and Mr. Jones's analysis was conducted confidentially and pursuant to TDIP's public interest mission," the filing added. "TDIP was not paid for its analysis." The final report was never made public by the committee.
JonesV.Alfa_.pdf
The Senate confirmed in a legal filing in federal court this summer that Jones and his group worked for the committee, asking a judge to quash a subpoena from Alfa Bank seeking records of the work and Jones' communications with McConnell, a Democratic cybersecurity staffer on the committee.
Senate lawyers argued the committee was protected by "sovereign immunity" and the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution and should not be forced to disclose the details of its work. Alfa Bank withdrew its subpoena request a few days ago before the judge could rule in the case.

The news about the mid-November 2019 impeachment hearings featured several Jews. (Getty Images/JTA Montage)
WASHINGTON (JTA) - The first public hearings in the Trump impeachment inquiry began this week with quite a splash.
A bunch of Jewish actors are at play in this drama, and we've covered some before: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is caught in the middle of it all. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the Californian Democrat who is running the hearings. And Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, the associates of Rudy Giuliani, Trump's lawyer, who are alleged to be instrumental in pressuring Zelensky to give in to Trump and provide damaging information on his political rivals.
In the hearings Wednesday, and in their aftermath, there were some new and familiar Jewish wrinkles. Here are a few:
Who was that lawyer?
Democrats handed the first 45 minutes of questioning to Daniel Goldman, and his restrained sarcasm immediately drew attention. "I want to spend a little time reading the transcript, as we've been encouraged to do," he said. Trump has urged Twitter followers to "read the transcript" at least a dozen times. (Of course, Goldman proceeded to read parts of the transcript that backed the Democrats' charges.)
Daniel Goldman, director of investigations for the House Intelligence Committee majority staff, left, asks questions to top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine William Taylor and career Foreign Service officer George Kent, as they testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2019, during the first public impeachment hearing of President Donald Trump's efforts to tie U.S. aid for Ukraine to investigations of his political opponents. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., right, listens. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)
Goldman is a former U.S. attorney who earned a reputation for busting mobsters and became a "TV lawyer" on NBC. (Watch him confess to popping the question to his wife with a ring inside a fortune cookie.) He's also descended from Levi Strauss stock.

==Rumblings: Former Ambassador Bill Taylor Likely Tied to Ukrainian Whistleblower Hoax - Former Bush/Obama Ukrainian Ambassador and Staff Member for Democrat Senator==
by Joe Hoft October 8, 2019
https://web.archive.org/web/20191009191753/https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/10/rumblings-former-ambassador-bill-Taylor-likely-tied-to-ukrainian-whistleblower-hoax-former-bush-obama-ukrainian-ambassador-and-staff-member-for-democrat-senator/
Former United States Ambassador to the Ukraine, Bill Taylor, is now suspected of being involved in the Ukrainian whistleblower scam. If not a whistleblower, the current chargé d'affaires for Ukraine and former Democrat Senator staff member, is certainly involved in the Ukraine Hoax.
Bill Taylor first came to the forefront last week in a series of texts released by Democrat Adam Schiff.
In one exchange of texts between Trump administration officials it was clear that President Trump was not encouraging the Ukrainians in order to receive something in return. Bill Taylor texted Trump's Ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland, in an attempt to set up President Trump -
[Taylor] "As I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign," Taylor said in one text exchange.
Sondland responded by saying that was not what was happening. "Bill, I believe you are incorrect about President Trump's intentions. The President has been crystal clear: no quid pro quo's of any kind. The President is trying to evaluate whether Ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that President Zelensky promised during his campaign."
Clearly, Bill Taylor is involved in the Ukrainian Hoax. He may very well be one of the individuals who is hiding behind whistleblower regulations to protect his identity in setting up the President.
Some individuals on Twitter are suggesting Taylor is one of these whistleblowers -

Bill Taylor was a staff member for former Democrat Senator Bill Bradley -
The same Bill Taylor who made obvious attempts to frame Trump's with a quid-pro-quo. He sounded like a hapless undercover cop trying to get someone to admit a crime. "So you brought these drugs here today to sell them to me, correct? Just say yes." https://t.co/mDFH07C5Cn

Certainly Taylor tried to get someone to say that the President was involved in quid pro quo with the Ukraine - sadly Joe Biden is the only one who will provide that -
Bill Bradley has been on my radar for awhile for other reasons.
Seeing one of his minions appear in another coup attempt is not surprising at all.
He's another Hakluyt (#Spygate) advisor working through NDI (CIA) with Hunter Biden. https://t.co/5dJppz2JyJ

Taylor has many suspect associations - '''including deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein''' - and the Bidens -
It should not come as a surprise to see William Taylor is working with NDI in Ukraine along Hunter Biden & Bill Bradley.
Shared interests..conflicts... whistleblowers? '''More like scam artists trying to outrun their impending doom'''. https://t.co/JNA6XQdN2i pic.twitter.com/8HxCStzDs6
