No kidding. Hiring a reporter with on-the-ground Ukrainian experience and contacts was a genius move by TPM.

That oligarch is Firtash, the same Russian oligarch that hire these two American “lawyers” in his fight against extradition.

Isn’t Vienna where Dimitry Firtash is holed up? I suspect Firtash is the money man.

I think he’s there because he’s being held there by the Courts.

Right.
The new Trump defense will be “I never heard of Ukraine, and I don’t know anyone who goes there. My very rich friend Jim used to go there every year, with his wife and family, but I asked him ‘Jim, how’s Ukraine?’ and he said ‘Ukraine is no longer Ukraine.’ Nobody goes there anymore, and I’ve never heard of it.”

From The Guardian:
After the White House cut off military aid to Ukraine, Donald Trump’s top officials scrambled to get it restored but were unable to organise a meeting with the president, in part because his staff were too busy pursuing his interest in buying Greenland, according to newly released congressional testimony.
Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any stupider.

I try to imagine this as an international game of clue, Firtash in Vienna with $$$; Rudy in Madrid, Kyiv, Vienna, and other places; Perry in Kyiv; Sondland in Kyiv and Brussels; Volk in Kyiv; PompousAss hugging the wallboards in various countries; Mick in the WH counting all the cash; Barr in Italy eating all the pasta…now who am I missing.

I think American’s could use a primer on Eastern Europe. The countries there are outrageously corrupt but it’s not aimed at American politics. For the most part it’s like corruption everywhere. About money. This Biden thing is an American creation. It was exported to Ukraine with the caveat that if they flaunted it they’d get MONEY. Zelensky is in a horrible bind. He was elected on a populist anti-corruption agenda that was pro EU and USA. Look at him now. He’s fucked. He has zero chance of getting anything done and his reelection is a joke. And what happens if Joe Biden is POTUS in 2021?
That’s why you don’t do this.
