John Solomon at The Hill<\/a> has done an amazing job of investigating the corruption of the deep state that is aligned against President Trump. On Monday he posted an article<\/a> about some recent documents uncovered.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, during a bipartisan meeting in Kiev, Sen. Chris Murphy<\/a><\/span> (D-Conn.) delivered a pointed message to Ukraine\u2019s new president, Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While choosing his words carefully, Murphy made clear\u00a0\u2014\u00a0by his own account<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 that Ukraine currently enjoyed bipartisan support<\/a> for its U.S. aid but that could be jeopardized if the new president acquiesced to requests by President Trump<\/a>\u2019s lawyer Rudy Giuliani<\/a><\/span> to investigate past corruption allegations involving Americans, including former Vice President Joe Biden<\/a><\/span>\u2019s family.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murphy\u00a0boasted after the meeting<\/a>\u00a0that he told the new Ukrainian leader that U.S. aid was his country\u2019s \u201cmost important asset\u201d and it would be viewed as election meddling and \u201cdisastrous for long-term U.S.-Ukraine relations\u201d to bend to the wishes of Trump and Giuliani.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“I told Zelensky that he should not insert himself or his government into American politics. I cautioned him that complying with the demands of the President’s campaign representatives to investigate\u00a0a political rival of the President would gravely damage the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. There are few things that Republicans and Democrats agree on in Washington these days, and support for Ukraine is one of them,” Murphy\u00a0told me today, confirming what he told Ukraine’s leader.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The implied message did not require an interpreter for Zelensky to understand: Investigate the Ukraine dealings of Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and you jeopardize Democrats’ support for future U.S. aid to Kiev.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

The political pressure continued. Biden\u00a0threatened to withhold $1 billion<\/a>\u00a0in crucial U.S. aid to Kiev if Poroshenko did not fire the country\u2019s chief prosecutor. Ukraine would have been bankrupted without the aid, so Poroshenko obliged on March 29, 2016, and fired Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time, Biden was aware that Shokin\u2019s office was investigating Burisma, the firm employing Hunter Biden, after a December 2015 New York Times article<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What wasn\u2019t known at the time, Shokin told me recently, was that Ukrainian prosecutors were preparing a request to interview Hunter Biden about his activities and the monies he was receiving from Ukraine. If such an interview became public during the middle of the 2016 election, it could have had enormous negative implications for Democrats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats continued to tap Ukraine for Trump dirt throughout the 2016 election, my reporting\u00a0shows<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nellie Ohr, the wife of senior U.S. Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, worked in 2016 as a contractor for Fusion GPS, the same Hillary Clinton\u2013funded opposition research firm that hired Christopher Steele, the British spy who wrote the now-debunked dossier linking Trump to Russia collusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Nellie Ohr\u00a0testified to Congress<\/a>\u00a0that some of the dirt she found on Trump during her 2016 election opposition research came from a Ukrainian parliament member. She also said that she eventually took the information to the FBI through her husband \u2014 another way Ukraine got inserted into the 2016 election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Politics. Pressure. Opposition research. All were part of the Democrats\u2019 playbook on Ukraine long before Trump ever called Zelensky this summer. And as Sen. Murphy\u2019s foray earlier this month shows, it hasn\u2019t stopped.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The evidence is so expansive as to strain the credulity of the Democrats\u2019 current outrage at Trump\u2019s behavior with Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Which raises a question: Could it be the Ukraine tale currently being weaved by Democrats and their allies in the media is nothing more than a smoke screen designed to distract us from the forthcoming<\/a> Justice Department inspector general report into abuses during the Democratic-inspired Russia collusion probe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a question worth asking.<\/strong><\/p>\n
