How a Ukrainian Oligarch Wanted by U.S. Authorities Helped Giuliani Attack Biden


In their effort to discredit President Donald Trump’s perceived enemies, close allies of the President have received key documents and information from a Ukrainian oligarch wanted in the U.S. on corruption charges, according to five people directly involved in this effort and two other people familiar with it.
Ukrainian Oligarch Dmitry Firtash Linked to Trump'''s Circle | Time


Saw some of this last night. Lots of dots connected, if you're at all curious about what's going on with Biden, Rudy, Trump, Fox news, and the recently arrested associates of Rudy, you have to check it out at some point. Bookmark the link later (Time), if you don't have time now.

This goes all the way back to (Putin) events like Andrew Weissman allegedly offering to drop the bribery case against Firtash in exchange for evidence that linked Trump to the Kremlin.
I'll summarize next. Too many details though, it's all gory.
 
An attempt at a summary:

Some background: Dmitry Firtash is a Ukraninian who was installed by Putin to be the middle-man between Russian energy export to Ukraine. Firtash would receive billions being the middle-man, for basically nothing, and he'd use that "laundered" money to pursue Putin's agenda both in keep Ukraine corrupt and in his pocket, and whatever else he might need. We found out publicly, I believe, about Firtash, because of the former Ukranian leader who Paul Manafort got into office...Paul and the corrupt leader were being paid from Firtash via Putin. He also has ties to Russian organized crime.

So Firtash is swollen with Russian money, but is wanted on bribery charges in the U.S., fighting extradition for 5 years.
He finally loses and is basically green lit to appear in the U.S. He is now desparate, fires his legit attorney (Lenny who was Cohen's attorney), and hires DiGenovas (Fox news pro Trump), and Rudy (Fox news pro Trump).
DiGenovas stated goal is to prevent Firtash's extradition to the U.S.

They pull in Rudy's thugs, Parnas and Fruman, to help.

Rudy gets manufactured dirt from Fritash about the Bidens and the Russia investigation to give to Rudy to help out..you know, for help not being extradited.
This is the papers Rudy was waving around on Fox. The author turns out to be Shokin, the corrupt former prosecutor who was removed by the U.S. under Biden's appeal. A completely phony document he "swears to", given to Firtash, and to Rudy.
In exchange, Rudy meets with the state department to try and work something out for Firtash, they reject his offer.
He then appeals to the White House, they don't assist.
Now he's meeting with the justice department. Will Rudy and the DiGenovas be able to get Firtash's extradition stopped? Kind of like how Epstein got off right? You decide!

So there it is folks. That's what Trump had Rudy doing. That's what those two nutballs the DiGenovas were doing.

Aiding a Russian-backed...wanted on bribery rich guy, to avoid extradition to the U.S. to face massive bribery charges.
In exchange, they were helping Rudy help Trump to get re-elected by slamming Mueller/Russia investigation, and Biden, with phony stuff that Fox (and then other right wing outlets as per normal) has been happy to run with as credible.

Rudy's two pals he's known for a while...he invited one for Bush Sr. funeral, there are pics of it.
Rudy also sought some assistance from Paul Manafort, while Paul is in jail, to help get his footing in Ukraine.

So Rudy, working on behalf of Trump, gets together with 4 criminals (Paul, the thugs, and Firtash), and tries to use their phony dirt in exchange for his extradition.

The guy has billions, he's like a walking ATM to those craven Trump supporters. Break the rules, get rich, support Trump. That's all it takes, apparently.

So we have people at Fox news, and now regular American Trump supporters, literally pushing the agenda of pro-Russian, Russian-backed Dmtry Firtash's efforts to get extradited.
Let that sink in. The level of money and power and connection...to effectively get 40% of the U.S. population and the sitting President to help assist you...a corrupt Russian-funded billionaire, from being extradited on bribery charges to the U.S.

Another quid-pro-quo.

Rudy Colludy and his indicted crew will work to make sure the US does not extradite Dmitry Firtash (from Austria) as long as Firtash supplies them with dirt on the Bidens.

Of course Firtash gave them some juicy sounding conspiracy theory. Desperate men do desperate things. Firtash is associated with Semyon Mogilevich, Russia's most powerful crime boss.

Now we have more insight into Rudy's mysterious trip to Vienna, Austria.

It's like the dumbest novel you could imagine. Only beaten in stupidity by the fact that U.S. FBI/CIA hasn't been able to stop this, having it spill over into the seat of power in the United States of America. Absolutely incredible.
And now 40%, the Trump supporters, are effectively corrupted along with it. We'll back that dirt from Firtash, in exchange with help keeping Trump in office. Wow.
 

Ouch, nice find. Good lord. All for some green. These guys are old rich powerful men. What on earth do they need some extra scratch for, -at the cost of ****ing over their country?
And why do his supporters love ****ing over the U.S. to help Putin and help him make some money that he doesn't even need? Madness.

Did you read any of it? It might help you understand what's going on.

Misquoting another member is a very bad practice. Was that a parody in the guise of fact? Whatever, it's a bad practice.

So is your cartoon in lieu of a sensible reply.

An even worse practice is deliberately avoiding facts and reality because one is comfy in one's own ignorance and fantasies.
 
If you're not talking about "Trump" the DP member then you're off-subject.

So you know all about where the dirt on Biden originated? I'm curious to see what you think about it.
Isn't Rudy now under criminal and counter-intelligence investigations?

Contrast that with Barr's "Probe", that is neither an investigation, nor looking at any criminality. Priorities Bubba. Shouldn't Americans be concerned about Rudy's corrupt activities?

That's a strange claim.

So you still don't know what Rudy was up to? Fox news running all that Rudy/fake biden stuff. you're not even curious?
Head in the sand I guess.
