Inside the ‘War’ on Biden-Ukraine Reporting
Excerpt: “Chalupa said the embassy also worked directly with reporters researching Trump, Manafort, and Russia to point them in the right directions,” Vogel and Stern reported. (It is important to note that the pretext for the phony Trump-Russia collusion probe relied heavily on the involvement of foreign diplomats including former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Australia’s ambassador to the UK, Alexander Downer. More in an upcoming story.) One Ukrainian embassy official confirmed to Politico that “they were coordinating an investigation with the Hillary team on Paul Manafort with Alexandra Chalupa.” Documents obtained by Judicial Watch show that Chalupa visited the Obama White House more than two dozen times, including four visits in December 2015 when she began her anti-Trump research, and five times in 2016. But here’s the most damning conclusion from Vogel’s expose: “Politico’s investigation found evidence of Ukrainian government involvement in the race that appears to strain diplomatic protocol dictating that governments refrain from engaging in one another’s elections.” (...) Nothing in Vogel’s January 2017 story has been debunked; indeed, new information, including congressional testimony from Nellie Ohr, bolsters his account. [Politico is decidedly NOT a center-right or right-leaning outlet, but a center-LEFT one. It’s extremely likely their reporting on this is accurate (or at least they believe it is). That’s why this should be upsetting. Ron P.]
