American Thinker:
While Democrats are pushing the bogus Trump-Ukraine quid pro quo story invented by that great storyteller, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, two groups of Democratic senators have been colluding with Ukrainian interests to advance their own agenda and political careers.
Kudos to Steve Hilton for pointing out the corruption of the first group on the Oct. 13 edition of his Fox show “The Next Revolution” – a group of Democratic senators took cash from a Ukraine lobbyist to push Ukrainian gas interests at the same time the Democrats are pushing the Trump-Ukraine yarn. As Hilton states in a transcript of his show available on Fox Opinion:
Remember Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s business partner? He had previously been a top fundraiser for John Kerry, who was Secretary of State at the time. And soon after Devon and Hunter joined the Burisma Board, the company channeled $90,000 to a lobbying firm called ML Strategies, which was headed by none other than David Leiter, John Kerry’s former chief of staff.
That’s handy because then-Secretary of State John Kerry himself has visited Ukraine with promises of U.S. aid and assistance. Well, Leiter registered as a Burisma lobbyist in mid-2014. But in the year leading up to that, he gave close to $60,000 to Democrats, including a select group of U.S. senators who would later be instrumental in pushing cash towards Ukraine’s energy sector, directly in line with Burisma’s interests.
He donated to Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., four times and to Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., three times. A month after the last of those donations, both Markey and Shaheen were among four senators who wrote a letter to President Obama that said, “We should leverage the full resources and expertise of the U.S. government to assist Ukraine in improving its energy efficiency, increasing its domestic production and reforming its energy markets.”
This was at a time when Democrats were waging a war on fossil fuels, opposing fracking, and trying to shut down U.S. energy production. American natural gas was bad for the environment, but Ukrainian natural gas was good for the campaign coffers when it involves Hunter Biden’s business interests and John Kerry’s former chief of staff. As Hilton points out, Sen. Markey’s hypocrisy runs particularly deep. MORE
oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we try to deceive …
thy name is ‘D’rat’
btw, congratulations to the Washington Nationals … going to the Series!
I’ll be there … somehow, someway ….
Crooks, thieves, liars, cheaters, cowards, deceivers. Everything that defines what is wrong with our federal government.
May want to invest in hemp, America is going to be in need of a lot of rope real soon.
Markey has always looked like a scumbag to me. Guess I was right.
I dont know how we got such a den of thieves. We voted for conservative principals and morality, not Al Capones mob
I hope you’re right, JD. That may be the ONLY solution available to us to really clean out that swamp.
Gotta listen to Howie Carr today!!!!

“Asked” and answered.
Voted for the name on the ballot, that The Party (the current, singular, Party) allowed on the ballot. Because The Party agreed that they were Party members in good standing (well, they’d proven good enough, in their previous Party positions, so time to test their level of incompetence). So the “winner” (of all named equally acceptable to The Party, by The Party) could be announced by the Party. To be ceremonially accepted to the title, by The Party. To “hold” the title for only as long as their loyalty to The Party proves resolute.
The Party don’t take nobody what nobody sent.
Should be looking into Pelosi, Schumer, Reid (he ain’t dead, yet), Schitt, Ryan, Waters, Wilson, Clay, Cummings, Lewis, Johnson (Guam will tip over – took over from Cynthia McKinney – another known crook), O’Cortez, Tlaib, Omar – come to think of it, our Fourth Estate, instead of being a Fifth Column, should, maybe, do what they’re paid to do? And our “Law Enforcement” people? Maybe form a “bunko” squad?
Ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah, I’m a comedian.

Maybe load the boxcars. For a trip to the “debriefing farm”. Where they can “share their experiences”. For “scientific” “study”. “No, Red Cross/Crescent madame, you may not see them. They are not prisoners of war. They’re scientists. They’ll explain it all to you when they get back.”
What? Oh…
> Ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah, I’m a comedian.
Meanwhile Hunter sez he didnt take a penny while everyone around him is grabbing for the gusto!
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
Yo, Anonymous, what part didn’t you understand?
An *independent* media would be investigating the corrupt pols.
A serious Law Enforcement community would investigate corruption.
I typed it real slow …

Yes, @Tim. Yes you did.

Hunter’s payoff is coming….China’s payoff is a financial futures product.
