Honestly, I still do not understand why this news has not yet exploded all the media on the planet. More precisely, I understand too well - and imagine the impotent anger of the owners of many mainstream media, which for once cannot do anything with the truth breaking through the veils of fake news. They can only pretend not to notice her, but this is in any case not for long. Water, as you know, will find a hole.

This is a series of tweets of the former mayor of New York, friend and personal lawyer of US President Donald Trump Rudolph (Rudi) Giuliani about his investigation of corruption schemes of Americans in Ukraine.

In May of this year, the story of Giuliani's failed trip to Kiev made a lot of noise. Trump’s enemies were frightened at first that Giuliani would pull the democrats (Joe Biden) from the freshly elected President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, and then breathed a sigh of relief, because Rudi said that he would not go to Kiev. “I would be surrounded by people who are enemies of the president and in some cases enemies of the United States,” Giuliani told Fox News.

What made Giuliani abandon the trip, which could give him (and Trump) a luxurious dirt that could once and for all put an end to Joe Biden’s claim to the presidency? For a long time it remained a mystery. In the column “Dark Secrets of Kiev” I suggested that Donald and Rudy just decided not to rush, because the elections were still far away. But he himself felt that this explanation seemed strained: not a single politician willingly refused the opportunity to destroy an opponent if such an opportunity floated into her hands.

And this weekend, finally, everything became clear.

“After hundreds of hours and months of research, I gathered witnesses and documents that reveal the truth behind this impeachment and show that Donald Trump did not commit any offenses,” reads a post on the Twitter cap Rudy Giuliani with the note “Budapest. Kiev. Vein".

Indeed, in early December, Trump's personal lawyer still visited Ukraine, and his trip was not advertised this time. In Kiev, he met with Alexander Dubinsky, a deputy of the Rada from the Party “Servant of the People” and a person close to the oligarch Igor Kolomoisky. Giuliani's second contact in Ukraine was another deputy, a former member of the Party of Regions, Andrei Derkach, who in October this year released data on the interference of Ukrainian officials in the 2016 US elections.

But even before visiting the “mother of Russian cities,” Giuliani drove into Budapest and Vienna. And there he met people who, without any exaggeration, can be called key witnesses in the case of corruption schemes of Americans in Ukraine. Among them are two former Prosecutor General of Ukraine (Yuriy Lutsenko and Viktor Shokin), the former "ATO prosecutor" Konstantin Kulik, the former head of the CEC of Ukraine Mikhail Okhendovsky and others. What they told Giuliani shocked even the seasoned, seasoned American loer.

“Extortion, bribery and money laundering go beyond the scope of Biden’s case. In addition, the conspiracy of the National Committee of the Democratic Party with Ukraine in order to destroy candidate Trump, ”Giuliani wrote in another tweet.

What began as an investigation into the corrupt activities of the Biden family, - the son of Vice President Hunter became a member of the board of directors of Burisma, where he received half a million dollars a year just “for his name” - resulted in exposing a colossal “money laundering” laundry, in which his shares were held by many senior officials of the White House, the State Department, and the American intelligence services.

Here is another Giuliani tweet: “Impeachment from Democrats for innocent behavior is designed to prevent such investigations of corruption during Obama's time: billions of laundered dollars, widespread misuse of billions (mainly US dollars), extortion, bribery, conspiracy of the Democratic Party’s national committee with Ukraine to destroy Trump's candidate. "

Of course, Rudi repeats himself (“a conspiracy ... to destroy Trump’s candidate”), but this is understandable - in the end, for that, Donald Trump hired him and sent him to Eastern Europe, like a sniffer dog that will unearth the truth, like no matter how deep it is buried.

And the fact that the “dog” unearthed not just evidence revealing the former vice president, and not only the threads stretching from Kiev through the Atlantic to the headquarters of Hillary Clinton - so who could have guessed that?

Giuliani “shot off” with his tweets on Sunday. And on Monday, The New Yorker magazine, deeply respected by the entire liberal public, delighted readers with Adam Entus's long hybrid devoted to the attempts of Rudy Giuliani and ex-Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko to “discredit” Joe Biden. Amazing responsiveness! However, the text, of course, was written in advance - the editors of The New Yorker were just waiting for the right moment to publish it.

I must admit, I read this gigantic (almost 70 thousand characters!) Text with great interest. Entus, who had specialized in intelligence and covert intelligence services by The Washington Post, certainly knows how to twist intrigue and keep the reader's attention. He is well aware of the secret of long texts about politics: that they should not be boring to read, a person should always be at the center of the story. Such a “hero” of Entus’s article was Yuriy Lutsenko - the man who succeeded Viktor Shokin as Prosecutor General of Ukraine. And Shokin was the prosecutor general, whose dismissal was insisted by Joe Biden, blackmailing the then president of Ukraine Poroshenko with a billion dollars already allocated by the IMF to support “young Ukrainian democracy”.

“In December 2015, Biden delivered a speech in the Ukrainian parliament:“ It is not enough to create a new anti-corruption bureau and appoint a special anti-corruption prosecutor. The prosecutor general’s office is in urgent need of reform. ”

Biden threatened to block a billion dollars at the IMF ... if Poroshenko did not fire Shokin. Poroshenko tried to resist, but, as one of his former advisers told me, "there was no other way, the deadline was approaching (granting an IMF loan. - K. B. ), he was forced to fire Shokin because of money."

Adam Entus is trying to assure the reader that Biden insisted on dismissing Shokin, worrying about the fight against corruption in Ukraine. True, he does it so clumsy that only a very naive person will believe in his version: “During a conversation (with Entus. - K. B. ), Shokin made an unreasonable statement that Biden removed him from work because he was investigating Zlochevsky (oligarch, the owner of the company Burisma. - K. B. ) and Burisma. Ukrainian and American officials told me (emphasized by me. - K. B. ) that the situation was completely opposite and that Shokin was actually fired for not investigating Burisma and other similar cases, despite the appeals of Ambassador Payette. ”

Asking Ukrainian officials about corruption is about the same as asking foxes who are to blame for the disappearance of chickens from the chicken coop. As for their American colleagues, Entus himself in the same article cites the following episode: when in January 2019 one of Giuliani's assistants organized a Skype conversation between his boss and Viktor Shokin, Rudy invited Shokin to fly to him in New York for more detailed conversation. However, officials from the American consulate, in consultation with Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch (recalled in May 2019 by personal order of Trump, who accused her of disloyalty), refused Shokin to issue a visa. Clearly - from the noblest motives! Diplomats simply did not want the prosecutor steeped in corruption to step on sacred American soil.

But if the mountain does not go to Mohammed, then Mohammed goes to the mountain. Almost a year later, Giuliani nevertheless met with Shokin, even though for this he had to come to Hungary.

Now Shokin is one of the main witnesses of Giuliani in his investigation of the corruption ties of the Obama people in Ukraine. But the most important thing is still Yuri Lutsenko, with whom Rudy also met in the "refuge on the outskirts of Budapest."

The story of Yuri Lutsenko, described in detail in an article in The New Yorker, provides an answer to the question why in May Giuliani refused to travel to Kiev.

The fact is that from the very beginning Lutsenko was considered by Giuliani and his team as a key witness in the Bidenov case. He became the prosecutor general of Ukraine with the approval of the Americans, who considered him a “useful reformer”. “Before approving the appointment of Lutsenko, he met three times with George Kent, the deputy head of the mission of the US Embassy,” Entus writes. “Kent told his colleagues in Washington that, in his opinion, the US government could work with Lutsenko.” This is just one example of how things were done (and are still being done) in Ukraine after the 2014 coup. The country is entirely under external control, all important decisions are made not in the government or parliament, but in the US embassy.

But when Lutsenko decided that he could determine for himself which of the Ukrainian corrupt officials he could take into development, he was immediately given hands on. Replacing Jeffrey Payette as US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Jovanovic explained to Lutsenko that she and other American officials know better what the Attorney General should do.

“If Lutsenko is committed to reform,” she added, “he should carefully look to see if some of his own employees are part of the corruption problem.”

“Lutsenko,” Entus writes, “was indignant at what the American ambassador dictated to him. According to the assistant prosecutor general, Lutsenko said Jovanovic: “Listen, the people supported by your embassy are not angels either.”

After winning the 2016 election of Donald Trump, the conflict between Lutsenko and Jovanovic intensified even more. When Lutsenko flew to New York in May 2018 to take part in UN anti-corruption events, Ukrainian diplomats tried to arrange a meeting for him with U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Lutsenko understood that President Trump’s new team was interested in information about the corruption schemes of Obama’s people, and tried to make political capital out of it. But the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States received a clear instruction from Jovanovic - not to allow the meeting between Lutsenko and Sessions. “US diplomats and law enforcement officials who came to the conclusion that Lutsenko intentionally persecutes reformers supported by America, instead of focusing on real cases of corruption, chose not to organize the meetings he sought,” Entus writes streamlined.

Lutsenko, of course, was angry. In January 2019, he flew to New York to meet with Giuliani at his Park Avenue office. He took documents with him proving that Burisma paid Hunter Biden and his business partner Archer for the patronage of the US Vice President.

One of Giuliani's assistants told Entus with some pathos: “Lutsenko came in with flaming weapons!” Rudy, of course, grabbed Lutsenko’s testimony, offering to help him organize high-level meetings in Washington.

For a while, Lutsenko actively collaborated with Giuliani. But then everything changed.

In May, shortly before the planned visit of Giuliani to Kiev, where he was to meet with the new president of Ukraine - perhaps, with the participation of Lutsenko, there was a mysterious meeting of the Attorney General "with an American friend who warned him that he was connected with the slanderous campaign against Biden and Jovanovic is causing serious damage to the interests of Ukraine in the United States. " And Lutsenko retreated. On May 16, he said in an interview with Bloomberg News: “Hunter Biden did not violate any laws of Ukraine - at least at the moment we do not see any violations. A company can pay members of its board as much as it sees fit. ”

Giuliani, of course, was furious. “Everything went well, but it undermined all our efforts,” he told Entus. It was Lutsenko’s refusal to confirm his initial testimony that became the reason why Rudy canceled his visit to Kiev.

There is no doubt that they pressed on Lutsenko - in the best traditions of the good old mafia. The notorious deep state (the deep state), which started the war with Donald Trump, had enough opportunities for this.

However, more recently, Lutsenko, who left for Hungary, again suddenly became bolder. He gave an interview to the right channel One America News Network (one of the few that support Trump), in which he accused the American media of “wrong” setting him against Giuliani. He also accused the ex-Ambassador Jovanovic of lying under oath when she stated that Lutsenko allegedly did not tell her why she wanted to meet with the US Attorney General.

And this accusation is a real bomb, where is the Biden corruption case.

The fact is that for several years, Attorney General Lutsenko tried to find the missing $ 7.4 billion owned by Ukraine. These are bonds issued by the Ukrainian government under Yanukovych, bought up by Franklin Templeton, an American asset management company. In the bowels of Templeton, Ukrainian billions simply disappeared - now the company’s representatives say that it was “Templeton’s investment in the Ukrainian economy, not Ukraine’s investment in Templeton”. Lutsenko has repeatedly sent letters to the FBI and the US Department of Justice with a request to track down the missing billions, but to no avail. On One America News Network, he shows one of these official appeals, claiming that the Templeton case was the reason he sought meetings with Jeff Sessions, and then with William Barr, US Attorney General. And Marie Jovanovic knew this very well, but lied under oath.

“I understood what was the point,” said Lutsenko, “when I learned that Adam Schiff was one of Franklin Templeton's investors.”

The same Adam Schiff, who is now the loudest shouting in Congress about the impeachment of Trump.

Here’s the puzzle. And this - albeit reluctantly - even Adam Entus is forced to admit, whose detective longrid clearly should have discredited Lutsenko in the eyes of the American public.

For many years, American "managers" used Ukraine and the lawlessness prevailing there for personal purposes. Of course, the main reason for the "Maidan" and the subsequent coup d'etat in Ukraine was the US desire to limit Russia's influence in the post-Soviet space. But the friends of the "young American democracy" did not forget even for a second about their business interests!

How many billions have been laundered in Ukraine remains to be seen. But Giuliani’s investigation has already shown that since 2014, Ukraine has been absolutely controlled by a quasi-state entity, the main purpose of which was to enrich part of the American elite, closely associated with the US Democratic Party. The “Ukrainian direction” of American foreign policy has turned into a semi-mafia cartel, pumping money and resources from the occupied territory. In this scheme, not only American diplomats were involved, but also Vice President Biden, congressmen (the same Adam Schiff), officials from the FBI and the Justice Ministry, people from the Obama team, and maybe even the 44th president of the United States himself.

And you can’t hide this monstrous, murderous truth for the American elite, no matter how much Trump’s enemies would like it to be. Murder will out.
