Line 285: − − ==Alexandra Chalupa and the DNC== − :{{See also|Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists}} − According to the ''Kyiv Post'', {{quotebox|“Chalupa said she first came across Manafort after she organized a meeting with then-U.S. President Barack 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.”}} − − In late 2015, [[Alexandra Chalupa]] expanded her research into Manafort to include the Trump campaign and possible ties to Russia. − − In January 2016, Chalupa informed an unknown senior [[DNC]] official that she believed there was a Russian connection with the Trump campaign. Notably, this theme would be picked up by the [[2016 Clinton campaign|Clinton campaign]] in the summer of 2016. Chalupa also told the official to expect Manafort's involvement in the Trump campaign. − [[File:Alexandra-chalupa-and-ukraine-embassy-in-the-us.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Alexandra Chalupa, Melanne Verveer, and Congresswoman [[Marcy Kaptur]]’s Ukraine linkages. Chalupa held multiple intelligence briefing and debriefing sessions regarding president Trump with Okana Shulyar and other Ukrainian embassy staff.<ref>https://apelbaum.wordpress.com/2019/09/29/how-to-finance-your-congressional-campaign-with-arms-sales/</ref>]] − Chalupa’s forecast proved prescient, as Manafort reached out to the Trump campaign shortly after, on Feb. 29, 2016, through a mutual acquaintance, Thomas J. Barrack Jr. According to Manafort, he and Trump hadn’t been in communication for years until the Trump campaign responded to Manafort’s offer. 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 real chance of winning the presidency. − − According to ''Politico'', the day after Manafort’s hiring, Chalupa provided a briefing on “Manafort, Trump and their ties to Russia” to the DNC's communications staff. 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, did begin working with reporters who were researching Trump. − − [[Andrii Telizhenko]], who worked in the Ukrainian Embassy under one of Chaly's top aides, Oksana Shulyar, has repeatedly stated that Chalupa was working closely with the Ukrainian Embassy to obtain information on Trump.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/09/double-standards-on-ukraine/</ref> In an interview with the Gateway Pundit, Telizhenko said he met Chalupa in the spring of 2016 at the Ukrainian Embassy, where Chalupa told him she was “a DNC 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” and was looking for “connections to Russia or the FSB or Russian mob, or Ukrainian mob, etc.” According to Telizhenko, Chalupa said the information would “be used for committee hearings in Congress under a congresswoman.”<ref>Rep. [[Marcy Kaptur]].</ref> Telizhenko didn't disclose the identity of the congresswoman, noting, “I don’t want to mention her name on record.” − − In January 2017, Telizhenko told ''Politico'' that Chalupa said, “If we can get enough information on Paul [Manafort] or Trump’s involvement with Russia, she can get a hearing in Congress by September.” − − In a recent tweet, Telizhenko summed the situation succinctly, noting {{quotebox|“The Clinton campaign had a Democratic 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 “Democratic operative” refers to Chalupa, while the “Ukrainian lawmaker” refers to [[Leshchenko]]. − − ====Chalupa digs up dirt from the Ukrainian government==== − {{quotebox|From: Chalupa, Ali<br> − Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2016 11:56 PM<br> − To: Miranda, Luis<br> − Subject: Re: You saw this, right?<br><br> − − A lot more coming down the pipe. I spoke to a delegation of 68 investigative journalists from Ukraine last Wednesday at the Library of Congress - the Open World Society's forum - they put me on the program to speak specifically about Paul Manafort and I invited Michael Isikoff whom I've been working with for the past few weeks and connected him to the Ukrainians.

Crowdstrike claimed the Russians hacked the DNC. The FBI never verified the claim. Private investigators determined it was Ukrainian intelligence who were hired by Alexandra Chalupa, a member of the Democratic National Committee.]] − George Eliason has identified Fancy Bear as Ukrainian intelligence. − − Alexandra Chalupa hired this particular hacking terrorist group, which Dimitry Alperovich and Crowdstrike dubbed "[[Fancy Bear]]", in 2015 at the latest. While the Ukrainian hackers worked for the DNC, Fancy Bear had to send in progress reports, turn in research, and communicate on the state of the projects they were working on. Let's face it, once you're in, setting up your Fancy Bear toolkit doesn't get any easier. This is why I said the DNC hack isn't the big crime. It's a big con and all the parties were in on it. − − Hillary Clinton exposed secrets to hacking threats by using private email instead of secured servers. Given the information provided she was probably being monitored by our intrepid Ruskie-Ukie union made in hell hackers. [[Anthony Weiner]] exposed himself and his wife [[Huma Abedin]] using Weiner's computer for top-secret State Department emails. And of course Huma Abedin exposed herself along with her top-secret passwords at [[Yahoo]] and it looks like the hackers the DNC hired to do opposition research hacked her. − − Here's a question. Did Huma Abedin have Hillary Clinton's passwords for her private email server? It would seem logical given her position with Clinton at the State Department and afterward. This means that Hillary Clinton and the US government top secret servers were most likely compromised by Fancy Bear before the DNC and Team Clinton hired them by using legitimate passwords.
