Tom Kirkman + 8,860 May 13, 2019 Ukraine Oil Corruption Scandal + U.S. Presidential Election 2020 ... Popcorn time! This could be quite the train wreck to watch unfold. Schiff: Biden Ukraine Scandal Should Be Off Limits House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said on Sunday that Joe Biden's Ukraine corruption scandal should be off limits as the 2020 US election approaches, and that President Trump shouldn't be allowed to investigate - or encourage Ukraine to investigate. Biden has come under fire for a March, 2016 incident in Kiev in which he threatened to withhold $1 billion in US loan guarantees to Ukraine unless President Petro Poroshenko fired his head prosecutor, General Viktor Shokin, who was leading a wide-ranging corruption investigation into natural gas firm Burisma Holdings. As it so happens, Joe's son Hunter Biden sat on Burisma's board, and waas indirectly paid as much as $50,000 per month. ... To recap; Biden didn't know his son Hunter was on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas firm for a full two years, before threatening to withhold $1 billion in US loan guarantees if the President of Ukraine didn't fire the guy investigating the Biden-linked Burisma, and Adam Schiff thinks that should be off limits to investigate, or for voters to consider, going into the 2020 election. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barr, the new Attorney General, looks set to level the playing field a bit on the currently lopsided and uneven playing field, where rules seeming only apply to one side. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ceo_energemsier + 1,818 cv May 15, 2019 Ukraine says Russia starting 'gas war' with controversial pipeline Two Ukrainian gas officials say Russia is trying to start a "gas war" and isolate Ukraine by pushing for a controversial pipeline that would effectively bypass the country to deliver natural gas to Europe. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline would travel under the Baltic Sea and allow Russia to bypass Ukraine to deliver cheaper gas directly to Europe. For years, Ukraine has been a significant customer for Russian gas and has provided a critical route to Europe. Formerly part of the old Soviet Union, Ukraine has been at odds with Russia over numerous issues since Moscow forcibly annexed Crimea in 2014 - a move many nations view as illegitimate. Some in the European Union are worried a potential gas war could increase dependence on Russia for energy. Andriy Kobolyev, chief executive of Ukrainian gas company Naftogaz, said Russia state gas company Gazprom has deliberately stalled talks between the two, as a contract between them expires Jan. 1. "Their goal is to create an artificial crisis, as was the case in 2009," Kobolyev said. "A crisis that would allow them to promote their own interests. The crisis I'm talking about, which may happen in January 2020, can be called a gas war, and I believe the probability of itis very high." Naftogaz Executive Director Yuriy Vitrenko told bne IntelliNews Russia plans to cut Ukraine off the pipeline if it's delayed or blocked. While the move could cause a shortage of gas in Europe, experts say Ukraine could be faced with no gas imports from the east or west. He said Russia refuses to pay the $2.6 billion it owes Naftogaz from a Stockholm court decision last year. The Ukrainian company has unsuccessfully tried to seize Russian gas assets in European over the delay. "They are not paying," Vitrenko said. "That is why we are enforcing the tribunal's award all over the world, including in some jurisdictions like Luxembourg. Gazprom's legal right to refuse payment is thin." Moscow did not immediately respond to the accusations. Source: United Press International Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The party of the most corrupt cries wolf and starts all kinds of investigations that dont prove anything, yet when their corruption is being exposed they cry wolf again!! These are the same people who said If Trump lost he wont abide by the rules and look back for how many months these folks and their violent supporters rioted and looted and terrorized people across the country? Which group of people cant accept the fact they lost because they had a bad game and they didnt have a plan for Americans and America? among 10 million other bad things hanging over her? Dont look at me , I am Mr. Clean!!! Adam Schiff.... I think The President gave him a very appropriate nickname!!🤣 Edited May 15, 2019 by ceo_energemsier Correction 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
