Talk:Ukrainian collusion (view source)

Here's my perhaps over-simplified view of Ukrainian collusion:
Here's my perhaps over-simplified view of Ukrainian collusion:
:Ukraine, noted for its corruption and longtime desire for relations with the West, regularly pays cash to U.S. lobbyists for connections to Washington (since the Clinton administration and the end of the Cold War, the U.S. is more willingly to pay attention to regimes that pay cash to lobbyists rather than for anti-communist ideological reasons). Manafort was one such lobbyist up to 2014 (as was [[Greg Craig]] and [[Tony Podesta]]); in 2014 the Obama administration and Joe Biden ousted Manafort and put forth [[Hunter Biden]]. But it made no difference to the Ukraine ''who'' the money was paid to for influence in Washington, so long as they had high-level connections.

==Interesting...==
Interesting to note that the only "fill in the blank" ==See also== on this page (created 5 months ago) is [[FISA abuse]]. The FISA abuse reported is expected anytime now to add more. What a coincidence, huh? [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|De Plorabus Unum]]</sup> 05:33, 23 September 2019 (EDT)
