UKRAINIAN NEVER-TRUMPER SERHIY LESHCHENKO
Although Robert Mueller concluded there was no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, some of the key people in creating the Russian collusion hoax had ties to a foreign nation.
Both the
DEMOCRAT National Committee as well as Fusion GPS — paid by the DNC and the Clinton campaign to falsify the dossier that Obama's FBI used as en excuse to spy on the Trump campaign — were using Ukrainian sources in their failed efforts to smear President Trump.
Serhiy Leshchenko, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, was a common thread involved in
DEMOCRAT spying efforts into Paul Manafort.
Leshchenko, along with Artem Sytnyk, the director of Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau, was responsible for leaking the contents of the Ukrainian “black ledger,” which exposed Manafort to the left-leaning media.
Leshchenko also served as a source for various other colluding coup confederates, including leftist writer Michael Isikoff and DNC operative Alexandra Chalupa.
In addition, Leshchenko served as a direct source of information for Fusion GPS, and their hired tale-spinner, former CIA contractor Nellie Ohr, the horribly hideous wife of the disgraced Obama official who leaked documents to the
DEMOCRAT-friendly press.
Ohr admitted to congressional investigators on Oct. 19, 2018, that while she was concocting the discredited dossier for Fusion, she was sometimes given leads from both Jake Berkowitz, her direct supervisor, and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson.
When asked if any Fusion research was based off “sources of theirs,” Nellie answered affirmatively but said the information that came from the sources wasn’t in relation to the Trump campaign.
Nellie said she recalled them “mentioning someone named Serhiy Leshchenko, a Ukrainian.” She later admitted she knew Leshchenko prior to her time at Fusion.
Leshchenko had a strong anti-Trump stance, telling the
Financial Times in August 2016 that “a Trump presidency would change the pro-Ukrainian agenda in American foreign policy.”
Ohr claimed she didn't know how the connection between Leshchenko and Fusion was established, or if they were doing work for him, but she did admit that Leshchenko was “a source of information” and acknowledged that she then used that information.
In 2010, nasty Nellie Ohr was listed as a participant in a June 2010 National Institute of Justice report, “Expert Working Group Report on International Organized Crime.” Listed on the same page were husband Bruce Ohr and Simpson, who was, at the time, a “Senior Fellow, International Assessment and Strategy Center.”
Another participant at the conference was DOJ official Lisa Holtyn, who was listed as a senior intelligence adviser at the DOJ Criminal Division’s Organized Crime and Racketeering Section.
Notably, Holtyn was the same DOJ official that nasty Nellie Ohr included on many of her emails to her husband that contained her Russia-related "research".
Also present at the conference was Mark Galeotti, academic chair for the Center for Global Affairs at New York University, and Tom Kellerman, vice president of security awareness and strategic partnerships at Core Security Technologies.
Nellie Ohr would later send emails to Bruce Ohr and Holtyn with quotes from both Galeotti and Kellerman, but she made no mention of their mutual association in her emails.
On May 30, 2016, Nellie Ohr sent an email to Bruce Ohr, Holtyn, Ivana Nizich, and Joe Wheatley—then both trial attorneys in the DOJ’s Organized Crime and Gang Section. Nizich had previously worked for Bruce Ohr, nasty Nellie's long-suffering husband.
Galeotti, as previously mentioned, had been referenced with some frequency in Ohr’s emails. Galeotti penned an article for
Tablet Magazine titled, “The ‘Trump Dossier.’
Manafort’s name was reportedly listed in the 400-page ledger 22 times, although his actual signature wasn’t authenticated and any payments made to him still remain unverified.
The documents implicating Manafort had been released by Serhiy Leshchenko.
It was reported by
Politico in February 2017 that the phone belonging to one of Manafort’s daughters revealed a text containing a blackmail threat attributed to Leshchenko.
It’s not known with any certainty who actually sent the text, which contains an attachment that references “the Yanukovych accounting book” and lists an email address for Leshchenko.
The Hill reported that Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko stated that he was opening “a probe into alleged attempts by Ukrainians to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”
According to a Jan. 11, 2017, investigative article published by
Politico, headlined “Ukrainian Efforts to Sabotage Trump Backfire,”
DEMOCRAT operative Alexandra Chalupa had been investigating Manafort and his work in Ukraine since 2014.
Chalupa said she first came across Manafort after she organized a meeting with then-President Obama’s National Security Council and leaders of Ukrainian-American organizations in January 2014, to brief the White House about the Euromaidan Revolution that drove President Viktor Yanukovych from power on Feb. 22, 2014.
On March 28, 2016, Manafort was hired by the Trump campaign. He was reportedly initially hired to lead the Trump campaign’s delegate effort, but was soon promoted, and on May 19, 2016, Manafort became Trump’s campaign chairman and chief strategist.
Just days prior to Manafort’s hiring, on March 24, 2016, Chalupa spoke with the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Valeriy Chaly, and told him of concerns she had regarding Manafort.
Reportedly, her concerns were initially rebuffed as Chaly didn’t think Trump had a chance of winning.
Notably, “with the DNC’s encouragement,” Chalupa asked the Ukrainian Embassy staff to attempt to arrange an interview with Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko and have him discuss Manafort’s ties to former Ukrainian President Yanukovych. The Ukrainian Embassy reportedly declined the request but, according to Chalupa, they did begin working with reporters who were writing negative stories about Trump.
Andrii Telizhenko, who worked in the Ukrainian Embassy under one of Chaly’s top aides, Oksana Shulyar, repeatedly stated that Chalupa was working closely with the Ukrainian Embassy to obtain information on Trump.
Telizhenko said he met Chalupa in the spring of 2016 at the Ukrainian Embassy, where Chalupa told him she was “a
DEMOCRAT operative working for the DNC” and the “Clinton campaign.”
Telizhenko continued, noting that Chalupa said she was “collecting any dirt or background information on Manafort, presidential candidate Trump or any other campaign official from the Trump campaign.”
Chalupa said the information would “be used for committee hearings in Congress under a congresswoman.”
Telizhenko summed the situation succinctly, noting “The Clinton campaign had a
DEMOCRAT operative working with Ukraine’s embassy in Washington to research Trump’s Russia ties, as well as a Ukrainian lawmaker feeding information to Fusion GPS.”
The “
DEMOCRAT operative” referred to Chalupa, while the “Ukrainian lawmaker” referred to Leshchenko.
