THREAD:

1/Impeachment testimony witness George Kent testified today. He found Trumps request for an investigation into Burisma and 2016 election interference to be very troubling.

This is an important witness to the Democrats because he is a supposed expert on the Ukraine,

2/ and someone who has been working with them as a bureaucrat from some time.

The problem is, George Kent is not an unbiased expert as is being portrayed. He actual is a person who has a lot of incentive to not want to see an investigation into 2016 election interference.

3/ Kent testified about a lot, but I want to focus on his testimony about 2016 election interference from the Ukraine.

Kent claims there is no evidence of this interference from Ukraine. That is a lie. Either he is covering up that evidence, or he is incredibly inept.

4/ Here is Ukrainian politician Leschenko admitting in August of 2016, a few months before the election, to the MSM that he and other officials in the Ukraine had interfered in the election to help Hillary because they disliked trumps policies.

5/ Here is an article from Left wing Politico, by now New York times writer Vogel and a partner, that also show Leschenko admit to interfering, and show they worked with a DNC operative named Chalupa

6/ How can a Ukrainian expert not be aware of this interference when it was public knowledge?

Well it turns out, he was aware. In fact, he wrote letters asking Ukrainian prosecutors to stop investigating Ukrainians connected to the Obama administration,

7/ and acknowledges pressure was put on Ukrainian prosecutors to drop investigations into Ukrainians who were accused (and at one point found guilty) of interfering in the 2016 US election to help Hillary.

8/ Here is kents actual letter, where he asks in the third to last paragraph to stop investigating the Soros and Obama funded AntAC

9/ State dept officials, including ambassador Yovanavitch, were pressuring Ukraine to drop investigations into people connected to the Obama administration.

10/ "senior official said ...“I can confirm to you that at least some of those names are names that U.S. embassy Kiev raised with the General Prosecutor because we were concerned about retribution and unfair treatment of Ukrainians viewed as favorable to the United States.”

11/ "In other words, State was confirming its own embassy had engaged in pressure on Ukrainian prosecutors to drop certain law enforcement cases, just as Lutsenko and other Ukrainian officials had alleged.”

zerohedge.com/political/real…

12/ This upset Ukrainians, who didn’t want to be bossed around and told who they couldn’t prosecute. The irony of this is that Kent himself defended Yovanavitch in his testimony.

13/ He and Taylor testified that if Ukraine thought they were being pressured by the US, it would harm them and help Russia. But that is exactly what Obamas state department was doing.

14/ It gets worse. Kent also testified that he knew the state dept told Ukrainian prosecutors it was a problem for them to investigate the head of the NABU, Sytnyk, who was being investigated for interfering in the 2016 election to help Hillary. From above article

15/ “More recently, George Kent, the embassy’s charge d’affaires in 2016 and now a deputy assistant secretary of state, confirmed in impeachment testimony that he personally signed the April 2016 letter demanding Ukraine drop the case against the Anti-Corruption Action Centre.

16/ He also testified he was aware of pressure the U.S. embassy also applied on Ukraine prosecutors to drop investigations against a journalist named Vitali Shabunin, a parliamentary member named Sergey Leschenko and a senior law enforcement official named Artem Sytnyk.

17/ As for Sytnyk, the head of the NABU anticorruption police, Kent addded: “We warned both Lutsenko and others that efforts to destroy NABU as an organization, including opening up investigations of Sytnyk, threatened to unravel a key component of our anti-corruption cooperation

18/ Here is a link from Kents closed door testimony showing he said this. Page 70

scribd.com/document/43392…

19/ Remember, Kent and the rest of the democrats and media are saying Trump threatened to withhold aid if the Ukraine didn’t do things he wanted with investigations.

Here we have Kent, the star witness for the democrats, admitting his department

20/ told Ukrainian prosecutors that were investigating Sytnyk for illegally interfering in the 2016 election to help Hillary, that if they investigated Sytnyk, it would harm US cooperation with the Ukraine.

21/ This is in fact a more direct and worse version of exactly what they are accusing Trump of doing. Threatening cooperation if the Ukraine investigated election interference that helped the democrats ion the 2016 election.

22/ And remember, Sytnyk ran the NABU, the same agency that got the investigation into Burisma, and let it go with only paying small fines. But Kent (who helped bury investigations into interference that helped dems) says that to investigate Biden or burisma would be corrupt.

23/ Kent stands to lose big if an investigation shows election interference, cause he helped bury it. The same with these other witnesses that were state department officials who were involved with forcing the Ukraine to bury investigations that could connect to the Obama's team

24/ So in conclusion, Kent is a biased witness who is lying when he says he doesn’t know of evidence of Ukrainian election interference. He admits the state pressured Ukrainian prosecutors to drop investigations of soros/Obama funded organization,

25/ and even admits they pressured prosecutors to drop investigations of Ukrainian election interference to help Hillary.

This is further proof that there needs to be an investigation into Biden/Obama for meddling into investigations in the Ukraine that could harm them

26/ and the Democrats, and proof Trump was right to pursue it and there is no case for impeachment.

Here is my long video where I go into more detail about this
