It's starting to make sense.

Shokin fired on March 29, 2016. Sevruk temp replacement. Met w/Blue Star on April 6th & reportedly memorialized meeting:

BS "offered an apology for the “false” narrative that had been provided by U.S. officials about Shokin being corrupt and inept."
May 12, 2016 - Yuryi Lutsenko appointed as prosecutor general of Ukraine - replacing the recently appointed Sevruk...

May 13, 2016 - call between Biden & Poroshenko.

Biden “informed President Poroshenko that the United States was prepared to move forward with the signing of the third $1 billion loan guarantee agreement” that was conditioned on Poroshenko firing Shokin.

May 27, 2016 - Phone call between Joe Biden and the president of Ukraine.

"leaders discussed the importance of continuing to institute reforms in the Office of the Prosecutor General"

May 30, 2016 - Lutsenko asks now-deputy prosecutor general Sevruk to resign.

Coincidentally, this same day, Nellie Ohr sends email to DOJ's Bruce Ohr re: Ukraine Black Box that would implicate Manafort.

Information on Black Box came from Ukraine's NABU (anti-corruption bureau).
June 2016 - Blue Star & Buretta subsequently met with new prosecutor Lutsenko several times and conveyed that there had been “no evidence of wrongdoing” by Burisma and its owner, Zlochevsky.

June 5, 2016 - NABU’s Sytnyk met with U.S. Ambassador Pyatt to discuss a more formalized relationship with FBI

June 15, 2016 - Joe Biden met w/Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman on June 15, 2016

Biden announced plans to commit an additional $220 million to Ukraine.
June 30, 2016 - NABU and the FBI entered into a memorandum of understanding that allowed for an FBI office onsite at NABU offices.

NABU has repeatedly refused to make the memorandum with the FBI public and went to court in 2018 to prevent its release.

August 18, 2016 - Documents (Ukrainian the Black Box ledger scandal) implicating Manafort were published by NABU on Aug. 18, 2016.

They were then publicized during a press conference held by Member of the Ukrainian Parliament Serhiy Leshchenko the following day.

When this broke, I assumed it was an effort/response by IC to muddy the waters. TBH, I still think that.

BUT:

Elena Baturina's $3.5mm unexplained 2/14 payment to Hunter has always bothered me.

Especially as we know Baturina/Zlochevsky/Hunter can be tied to two later meetings.
Feb. 14, 2014 - Russian businesswoman Elena Baturina wired a $3.5 million payment to Hunter's Rosemont Seneca.

Baturina was married to the late Yuri Luzhkov, who was the mayor of Moscow.

Baturina also sent a series of payments between May 6, 2015, and Dec. 8, 2015, to Rosemont. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I've never found a good explanation for these payments although others may know.

But I DO find myself very curious over the two meetings that seem far to coincidental to be chance. I'll explain:

I've always questioned why Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) suddenly entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the FBI.

By February 9, 2016, the FBI had a permanent representative onsite at NABU offices.
web.archive.org/web/2023040511…
The FBI presence onsite happened exactly as Biden was forcing the firing of Burisma prosecutor Shokin.

The stated purpose of having FBI onsite at the Ukraine offices was to trace "monetary flows."

Which is very odd.
Because on February 18, 2016, AFTER the FBI was already in place, authorities in Latvia flagged a series of ‘suspicious’ financial transactions linked to Hunter Biden and others involved with Burisma.

1) Unknown if directly related, but a damning Nov 2, 2015 email on Hunter's laptop was from Vadym Pozharskyi, head of Burisma’s board.

Pozharskyi directed Hunter to “close down" "any cases or pursuits” against Burisma owner Zlochevsky in Ukraine.
archive.is/i5E06
2) Three weeks later, on Nov. 22, VP Joe Biden demanded the removal of Ukraine prosecutor Victor Shokin.

Biden's sudden demand seemed odd as US State Dept officials had previously praised Shokin in the months leading up to Biden's demand for Shokin's removal.
3) In June 2015, Victoria Nuland told Shokin she was “impressed with the ambitious reform and anti-corruption agenda.”

Nuland said that Shokin had demonstrated his ability to “investigate and prosecute corruption and other crimes in an effective, fair, and transparent manner.”

"US government officials speculate all the time"

Like this @McFaul?

NULAND: I think Yats [opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk] is the guy who’s got the economic experience, the governing experience. What he needs is Klitsch and Tyahnybok on the outside.
twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Pyatt: "we want to try to get somebody with an international personality to come out here & help to midwife this thing..."

Nuland: "Sullivan's come back to me saying you need Biden & I said probably tomorrow for an atta-boy and to get the deets to stick. So Biden's willing." twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here’s what actually happened:

On or before Feb 4 2014 – Call between Pyatt & Nuland.

Feb 22, 2014 – Yanukovych removed as President of Ukraine.

Feb 27 2014 – Yatsenyuk was installed as Prime Minister of Ukraine. Klitschko left out.

Democrats have fabricated a fictitious Russia-Collusion/Russian-Interference narrative in two consecutive presidential elections — altering the outcome of those elections in the process.
In each of those elections, the Intelligence Community played a direct and willing role.

Brennan pushed information into the FBI regarding the Trump Campaign in 2015, The FBI used that info to open Crossfire Hurricane Investigation.

Brennan, Clapper & Comey also created the ICA
The Russia-Collusion fiction, created by Clinton and perpetuated by the Intelligence Community permeated virtually every aspect of our nation.

It created internal division and fundamentally altered our foreign policy, taking our attention away from our true adversary - China.

The real story is how corporate media organizations, rather than focusing on the content of the revealing documents themselves, chose to focus on finding out who leaked them.

And we have quite a few questions.
theepochtimes.com/teixeira-whist…
Did the NY Times and the Washington Post really lead the intelligence community to Teixeira?

Or did the intelligence community lead the NY Times and the Post to Teixeira?
How did Bellingcat miss months of the documents being posted online, only to become involved just as the news was emerging, miraculously finding the source within a few hours?
