Well that is an interesting plot twist...
Doug Schoen was calling the shots not Paul Manafort? #ButNothingsHappening!

Schoen appears to be a Swampy Republican who works for both sides. He helped the Clinton campaigns along with Dick Morris! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_S…
Schoen became a representative for Victor Pinchuk in 2000 & began introducing him to the Swamp. He soon donated $13M to the Clinton Foundation (might be more if it was laundered. Then FBI asset Michael Cohen reached out to Schoen to get him introduced to Trump! 
Oh my! Schoen leads directly to the Swamp from Rockefeller to today!
I called him a Republican who works for Dems. Some call him a FoxNews Democrat who criticizes Democrats. So maybe he is just a mercenary...

A mercenary who was working for Bill & Hillary as they colluded with Victor Pinchuk to rig the political process & trade deals with Ukraine! nytimes.com/2014/02/13/us/…
Wow, we have the @nytimes telling us in 2014 that Hillary was colluding with a Ukrainian oligarch & others who would help her win the 2016 election! #ButNothingsHappening! #UkrainianCollusion
@nytimes Pinchuk was using Hillary & the US State Department to steal jobs from US Steel workers for Pinchuk's profits. Wanna guess why Trump put steel tariffs in place? Yep to hurt Pinchuk & make it an issue the press had to cover!
@nytimes I imagine the receipts to the Clinton Foundation from all of those companies that were allowed to dump steel on the US market will become relevant!
@nytimes I'm sure Pinchuk worked very hard (and wrote very big checks) to ensure that he had a good relationship with a former President & someone he thought would be a future President. I'm sure he helped immensely in 2016 as elements in Ukraine tried to frame Trump for collusion!
@nytimes Industry groups estimated almost 600,000 US steel industry jobs were placed at risk by the dumping scheme. It wasn't just Ukraine but Hillary's pals in China and other countries.

@nytimes Obama's Commerce Secretary promised to do something about it, but if anything was done there was little effect. archive.triblive.com/business/local…
@nytimes Of course, this looks like a pretty good electoral map with a lot of critical purple states that Trump wants to keep in the red with his steel tariffs. Combine that with some indictments on corruption as the reason why the tariffs were needed... It is massive.
@nytimes Pinchuk is best remembered as the pro-Putin oligarch from Ukraine, who adeptly managed to switch sides when the US State Dept engineered revolution occurred in 2014. forbes.com/sites/katyasol…
@nytimes I imagine it helped to have an army of politicians, consultants, PR firms & their pet journalists to control the world's perception of your allegiances!
@nytimes Pinchuk likes to hang out at Davos, & donated money to Tony Blair's foundation too. You remember Tony Blair, the UK Prime Minister that colluded with Vladimir Putin to help him win the election in Russia!
@nytimes He has also 'funneled' millions of money into the art world.
It is a Swamp of it's own with shady deals, Nazi stolen masterpieces & money laundering disguised as art deals.
Hello Tony Podesta!

Hello Tony Podesta!
@nytimes I wonder how many of these deals were set up by Marc Rich & Glencore!
@nytimes If this is true, he made some serious enemies but bought his way out of it! Bet he needed some new friends to make sure it didn't happen again... Marrying the oppressive President's daughter probably helped
@nytimes Then he became business partners off that graft with Rinat Akhmetov who also shows up in the current drama!
@nytimes But then Prime Minister Tymoshenko took it back & sold it to an Indian company. How ironic that Pinchuk was the one who arranged for through Doug Schoen & paid Greg Craig through Manafort to write a report saying the jailing & trial of Tymoshenko was not as bad as it looked....
@nytimes Pinchuk survived a second attempt to seize his assets after the Orange revolution, then moved the assets to the UK to get them away from his rivals in Ukraine...
Time to start up the PR machine!
Time to start up the PR machine!
@nytimes Does anyone have a list of Pinchuk's 200 friends that visited him in Ukraine in September 2013? I'm sure there are more names we would recognize!
@nytimes Well the speakers list looks interesting, bet they got paid well! Blair, both Clintons, Larry Summers, & David Petraeus!
@nytimes Huh, he's friends with the founder of Wikipedia... I'm sure that has nothing to do with any of the bias on that platform!
@nytimes Donating to Aids charities (the Clinton one?), creating then sending fan boys & girls off to Harvard & Oxford. Wonder if they got help on admissions?
@nytimes It sucks to watch all your cronies thrown out of power because the people are tired of living in a Kleptocracy, worse to see your cronies replaced by someone elses cronies!
@nytimes I wonder if he borrowed his foundations Reset Button from Hillary!
@nytimes As my friend @DrStefool has pointed out, Pinchuk has connections to Iran too. Sanctions violating connections to Iran. They feared it would cost her the election, I guess they needed a distraction & rigged primaries to make sure it didn't happen! newsweek.com/2015/04/24/hil…
@nytimes @DrStefool Huh, his biggest company is incorporated in Cyprus. I'm sure that isn't one of the central locations for international money laundering!
@nytimes @DrStefool He was selling parts to sanctioned sectors of Iran's economy including the oil & gas sectors!
@nytimes @DrStefool Who in the US was responsible for monitoring these violations & imposing sanctions? US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton followed by John Kerry. Now I'm sure there is no conflict at all between the largest donor to the Clinton Foundation not getting sanctioned for trading w Iran
@nytimes @DrStefool So what was retired FBI Agent Bob Levinson investigating when he disappeared in Iran more than a decade ago? Money laundering networks that were being used to supply Iran's oil & gas industry with parts to keep the infrastructure functioning.
@nytimes @DrStefool And who blocked a deal with the Iranian's to return Bob Levinson & the information that he knew about the smuggling, sanctions busting, & money laundering out of Iran?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
@nytimes @DrStefool So how did the FBI begin investigating those money laundering operations in Baku Azerbaijan? By using Sater's connections to build a Trump Tower in Baku that was a sting targeting the son of a corrupt minister who was part of the money laundering operation.
@nytimes @DrStefool And yet we still have people who think #ButNothingsHappening
