Trump tried to get to the the truth of Biden’s Ukraine corruption. And the Democrat party of treason impeached him for it. Don’t expect these criminals to cooperate.
GOP Wants the Receipts for $113 Billion in Taxpayer Dollars Laundered Through Kiev
By: Steven Ahle, Billings Report, February 24, 2023:
The chairman of the House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-Ky) has written to Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and USAID Administrator Samantha Power.
Story continues below advertisementHe is compelling them to give him a full accounting of the $113 billion in cash we have sent to Ukraine. National Security spokesman John Kirby claimed not to have seen “any signs” of corruption in Ukraine.
This came just one day after President Zelensky fired several cabinet members for corruption.
Comer wrote:
“Came one day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fired several top Ukrainian officials amid a corruption scandal. Providing US taxpayer funds in a war zone come with an inherent risk of fraud, waste, and abuse.” “Unrealistic timelines and expectations that prioritize spending quickly lead to increased corruption.”
DoD, State, and USAID must now produce all documents relating to US funding to Ukraine by March 8, 2023. The letter was signed by republican Representatives including Jim Jordan, Nancy Mace, Andy Biggs, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Anna Paulina Luna.
Dear Secretary Austin, Secretary Blinken, and Administrator Power:
The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is conducting oversight of the federal government’s administration of U.S. taxpayer-funded assistance to Ukraine. Since Russia invaded Ukraine nearly a year ago, Congress has provided more than $113 billion for security, humanitarian, economic, and governance assistance.
It is critical that government agencies administering these funds ensure they are used for their intended purposes to prevent and reduce the risk of waste, fraud, and abuse. The Committee seeks documents and information to understand how the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of State (State), and the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) are conducting oversight of these funds.
On January 25, 2023, U.S. National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, John Kirby claimed, “We have not seen any signs that our budgetary assistance has fallen prey to any kind of corruption in Ukraine,” and that all direct budgetary assistance, “goes through the World Bank.” Mr. Kirby continued, “I would go so far as to say the same on the security assistance side as well.”
These claims came one day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fired several top Ukrainian officials amid a corruption scandal. Ukrainian government officials allegedly engaged in bribery, used government vehicles for personal use, and purchased inflated food supplies for Ukrainian forces. In response, President Zelensky named a new Minister of Defense. Based on Mr. Kirby’s remarks, however, the U.S. National Security Council appears unaware of this corruption scandal, heightening concerns that U.S. agencies are not conducting oversight of taxpayer assistance to Ukraine.
Providing security and humanitarian assistance for warfighting and reconstruction purposes comes with an inherent risk of fraud, waste, and abuse. The United States must identify these risks and develop oversight mechanisms to mitigate them.
We learned from efforts in Afghanistan that the World Bank does not always have effective monitoring and accounting of funds, and often lacks transparency. We also learned that unrealistic timelines and expectations that prioritize spending quickly lead to increased corruption and reduced effectiveness of programs.
As the United States continues to filter assistance through multilateral organizations with pressure to spend funds quickly, we must ensure proper protections are in place to prevent the misuse of funds.

Nothing to see here because Samantha Power, the administrator of USAID, has said, “Up until this point, we don’t have any evidence that U.S. assistance is being misused or misspent but, again, the key is not resting on anybody’s goodwill or virtue.” /s

Geller Quote:
“this vicious, pointless war in Ukraine, a country long in the Russian sphere. The two countries’ shared heritage goes back more than a thousand years.”
China says the same about Taiwan. “Long in the Chinese sphere”, and “a shared heritage that goes back centuries”.
Geller Report isn’t really concenered about fighting corruption.
They want Ukraine defunded because they believe Russia’s Chinese-like reasoning for invading Ukraine is justified. Conservatives sounding like Marxists. Libertarians sounding like Neo-cons.

Geller Report is pro-Israel, like I am.
If there were corruption problems in Israel, hypothetically, Geller would call to fix those problems but continue to fund Israel so we can contain Iran.
GR doesn’t want Ukraine to fix any corruption problems, they just want to defund it so that Russia can win.

Geller should tell her boss Putsie to stop that vicious and pointless war he started a year ago and take all his thugs out of Ukraine. I doubt he would listen to her though.

It should be remembered that Vladimir Putin using the Russian military to invade and destroy Ukraine didn’t happen when President Trump was in the White House he kept Putin under control. If Donald Trump would still of President this Putin disaster in Ukraine would not have occurred. Now with Joe Biden masquerading as a genuine US President Putin has become totally out of control, irrational and very dangerous.

Even though Vladimir Putin is a terrible man, it’s important to keep thing in perspective when it comes to the heads of the different nations of this area of the world.
For Volodymyr Zelnskyy who is the President/dictator of Ukraine is also a terrible man.
As he as a tyrant had ordered government persecution of the Ukraine Orthodox Church and its monasteries.
Zelenskyy didn’t dare order government persecution of the mosques and madrasas’ along
with harassment of its imams.
Zelenskyy well understands what and who it’s safe to pick on, and what and who it’s not safe to pick on.

There are supposedly 2 Ukrainian Orthodox Churches according to Newsmax.
“Bolling said (Tucker) Carlson did not share with his audience crucial information (about Zelensky shutting down SOME churches), including the fact Zelenskyy is not persecuting Christians or shutting churches down indiscriminately.”
“Bolling said Ukraine has two Orthodox churches, both independently governed, the Independent Orthodox Church of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, whose leader Patriarch Kirill has been an unabashed supporter of Putin’s.”

The President of France shut down 100 mosques in 2021 for preaching radicalism and anti-semitism.
This is done during the War on Terror, just like Zelensky does something similar during the war against the KGB.

The leader of the RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH is KGB.
Even the Russian Church is a Deep-State Church.
“If you die in Ukraine, your sins will be forgiven.”
Pope Kirill – Leader of the Russian Church.

PUTIN was the head of the KGB (renamed FSB) before he became President.
Pope KIRILL is also KGB.
Russia is a country where Church and State fall under the control of the Deep State.
Geller Report should realize that you can’t be against the Biden Deep-State, but also support the Deep-State in another country. This is a lack of conservative consistency.

“Zelenskyy well understands what and who it’s safe to pick on, and what and who it’s not safe to pick on.” It is the same formula for tyrants everywhere.

I 100% support accountability
All these conspiracy theories need to be debunked and if there’s real corruption then correct it to make sure Ukraine gets the weapons it needs to fight off evil
When Israel attacks Iran the Russophiles will have a hard day of thinking ahead of them if they also support Israel.

It would be good to remember when Donald Trump was President,he kept Vladimir Putin in his place. Now since Joe Biden has entered the Oval Office of White House, Putin has thrown off all restraints and has become very dangerous and deadly Ukraine.
Biden will only make this terrible situation even worse. For making things worse in the only Biden is able to do.
For Biden is a disaster for America, for Ukraine , for Russia and a disaster for the world.

good question, because Ukraine got only seven billions out of all that help.
