Breitbart: U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor, who provided key testimony to the Democrats’ controversial impeachment inquiry yesterday, has evidenced a close relationship with the Atlantic Council think tank, even writing Ukraine policy pieces with the organization’s director and analysis articles published by the Council.
The Atlantic Council is funded by and works in partnership with Burisma, the natural gas company at the center of allegations regarding Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
In addition to a direct relationship with the Atlantic Council, Taylor for the last nine years also served as a senior adviser to the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC), which has co-hosted events with the Atlantic Council and has participated in events co-hosted jointlyby the Atlantic Council and Burisma.
Another senior adviser to the USUBC is David J. Kramer, a long-time adviser to late Senator John McCain. Kramer played a central role in disseminating the anti-Trump dossier to the news media and Obama administration. Taylor participated in events and initiatives organized by Kramer.
The links may be particularly instructive after Breitbart News reported that itinerary for a trip to Ukraine in August organized by the Burisma-funded Atlantic Council for ten Congressional aides reveals that a staffer on Rep. Adam Schiff’s House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence held a meeting during the trip with Taylor. The pre-planned trip took place after the so-called whistleblower officially filed his August 12 complaint and reportedly after a Schiff aide was contacted by the so-called whistleblower.
Multiple U.S. media outlets yesterday obtained Taylor’s full opening statement to the House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees.
In the leaked pre-written full opening statement, Taylor alluded to work he said he did for a “small Ukrainian non- governmental organization” but he omitted the name of the organization.
“In the intervening 10 years, I have stayed engaged with Ukraine, visiting frequently since 2013 as a board member of a small Ukrainian non- governmental organization supporting good governance and reform,” he said.
The name of the organization is the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC), where Taylor served for nine years as senior advisor. The USUBC has co-hosted or participated in scores of events with the Atlantic Council. Taylor has also authored numerous analysis pieces published by the Atlantic Council itself and has co-authored opeds written together with the Atlantic Council’s director.
Burisma is a key financial backer of the Atlantic Council. In 2017, Burisma and the Atlantic Council signed a cooperative agreement to develop transatlantic programs with Burisma’s financial support reportedly to focus “on European and international energy security.” Burisma specifically finances the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center.
Besides funding the Atlantic Council, Burisma also routinely partners with the think tank. Only four months ago, the company co-hosted the Atlantic Council’s second Annual Kharkiv Security Conference. Burisma advertises that it committed itself to “15 key principles of rule of law and economic policy in Ukraine developed by the Atlantic Council.” read more
Wait. Is this a Memorex ad, like, is it Adam Shciff, or Shillue? Great photo for the post. Anyway, running shy on Shiff comments these days.
Soros funds the Atlantic Council, too. Hell, our State Dept gives them money. The AC is also a big fluffer for NATO. Trump really kicked them in the nards when he started criticizing NATO during the 2016 campaign. If you pulled the name of a hostile Deep Stater out of a hat, there’s a better than even chance that person is associated with the Atlantic Council. Trump is quite aware of this, of course. The AC must be royally pissed off about his successful dealings with NATO member Turkey.
Another deep stater up to his rear in international swill.
They should start arresting Demis and agreeing Reps for Treason, Hanf a few of these bastards just. to let them know we are serious.
Bill who? I’d give my left nut to see that BUG EYED FUK in an orange jumpsuit and irons!
“… tried by an extraordinary commission … Of these, twenty-seven, and of the common people an immense number, expired on the scaffold.”

There is a reason we adopted legal forms. Europe has a long history of abuse.
Schitt is returning us to arbitrary “government” which only responds to violence.
Gestapo convictions couldn’t be appealed – the Germans abandoned all the judicial niceties in favor of pre-determined results – just as Schitt and company are doing. They must be removed.
