Smoking Gun? Glenn Beck Releases Audio of Ukrainian Official Admitting He Interfered In U.S. Election to Help ‘Hillary’
Posted at 12:30 pm on October 06, 2019 by Elizabeth Vaughn
Glenn Beck has just released an audiotape of the former Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), Artem Sytnyk, admitting he “helped” Hillary during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Sytnyk was convicted for election interference in December 2018 in Kiev. The court ruled that the publication of the “black ledger” documents “led to interference in the electoral processes of the United States in 2016 and harmed the interests of Ukraine as a state.”
On the tape, he tells his friends, “Kolya” and “Ivan,” that “I was in charge of the investigation of their “black accounting” records. We made the [sic] Manafort’s data available to general public.”
Beck said this tape has been floating around Ukraine for a while, but it was only recently translated into English.
Here is a transcript of the tape. Scroll down for the audiotape(Sytnyk’s conversation begins at 4:00).
Kolya: Did they, those Russians, help Trump? Your people?
Sytnyk: I think they did. Yeah. I helped him, too. Not him, but Hillary. I helped her.
Kolya: Yeah. Right. Then her position tottered, right?
Sytnyk: Well, this is how they write about it, right.
Ivan: Hillary’s humanitarian aid … [indiscernible.]
Kolya: Well, I’m about … the commentaries. At the time, we were not [indiscernible.]
Sytnyk: Trump … his purely inner problem … issue … they dominate over the external matters. While Hillary, she is — how shall I put it? She belongs to the cohort of politicians who comprise the hegemony in the US. Both in the US and the entire world, right? For us, it’s … sort of … better. For Americans … what Trump is doing is better for them.
Kolya: Well, we have lots of those American experts here now … [indiscernible.]
Sytnyk: Well, there, you see why Hillary lost the elections? I was in charge of the investigation of their “black accounting” records. We made the Manafort’s data available to general public.
Kolya: So what?
Sytnyk: He was imprisoned. Manafort then was the head of the Supreme Headquarter of Trump, right? Then he was dismissed, too, including due to the “black accounting.” After that, he was sentenced to 80 years of imprisonment term. How about Trump? Did he not give a s***. They have their system working there and it works smoothly.
Kolya: Everybody worked smoothly there.
Sytnyk: And when they carried out the elections, a week before the elections, the FBI reopened the investigation in respect of Hillary. So her rating dropped for 7 percent and that’s why Trump managed to win the elections at a pinch.
I’m still unable to understand why he’s fighting with the FBI. They try to catch him on the hand. If it were not the FBI, he would not have won the elections. They torpedoed Hillary’s ratings for 7 percent.
Glenn says, “So here he is. He is admitting to tampering with our elections. Admitted working with the Hillary Clinton campaign. He is actually convicted in the highest court in the land in Ukraine. This is all front page news, in Ukraine, while we are saying, ‘Was there anyone tampering with the election?'”
At the beginning of the podcast, Glenn reads an email written by Alexandra Chalupa , a Ukrainian-American lawyer and DNC contractor, sent to Louise Miranda at the DNC. Chalupa had been working feverishly to bring down Paul Manafort in 2016. This email is not new. Dan Bongino wrote about it in his book, “Spygate,” which was published last fall. I have posted about it. Chalupa writes:
Hey, a lot coming down the pipe. I spoke to a delegation of 68 investigative journalists from Ukraine last night at the Library of Congress, the Open World Society forum. They put me on the program to speak specifically about Paul Manafort. I invited Michael Isikoff, who I’ve been working with for the past few weeks, and connected him to the Ukrainians. More offline tomorrow, since there was a big Trump component you and Lauren need to be aware of that will hit in the next few weeks. Something I’m working on that you should be aware of.
Note: Glenn tells an interesting story about the day Manafort was arrested. He said on that very day, Clinton pal Tony Podesta shut down his lobbying firm which was one of the largest in Washington and had been operating for 30 years. He says: “This is why Tony Podesta shut down the Podesta Group, like on the day that Paul Manafort was arrested. Okay? As soon as they arrested him, the biggest lobbying firm, the Clinton lobbying firm, millions of dollars, [Podesta] walks into the office in one day, and says, ‘close the doors.’ Not like, ‘Hey, at the end of the week, or at the end of the month, we’re going to wrap things up,’ [he said ] ‘Close the doors.’ And he shut his firm down. Well, why? Because he’s working with the same group of people, that Manafort [was.]”

Lindsey Graham Says Whistleblowers Will Have No Anonymity and Adam Schiff Will Be a Witness in Any Impeachment Trial

I’m not really sure how this slipped by me, but a couple of days ago the White House informed Nancy Pelosi that they had no intention at all of complying with any subpoenas issued by any House committee unless and until the the House voted on an impeachment inquiry.
The letter probably didn’t look like this, but it could’ve
Pelosi is claiming that it is an impeachment inquiry just because they are calling it so, I don’t think that will fly if challenged in court because absent an impeachment inquiry the document demands being made are a clear violation of the Constitution and to say that any House demand can be construed as an impeachment inquiry means separation of powers has just ceased to exist.
Anyway, Lindsey Graham was on Fox yesterday to discuss this.
1. He agrees that without a floor vote on impeachment he’s not going to treat it as impeachment.
2. Wants Fox “or somebody” to put all Republicans on the record as to whether they think the phone call to Ukraine President Zelensky is impeachable. Graham says it’s “ridiculous.”
3. The Biden’s need to be investigated over Ukraine and China payoffs.
4. He compared this brouhaha with the trickle of complaints against Kavanaugh. “This is Kavanaugh all over again.”
5. Schiff is a witness in any impeachment proceeding because of his early contact with the “whistleblower.”
And this:
Well, here is what’s going to happen.
If the whistle-blower’s allegations are turned into an impeachment article, it’s imperative that the whistle-blower be interviewed in public, under oath and cross-examined. Nobody in America goes to jail or has anything done to them without confronting their accuser.
So here is what I’m going to insist upon, that the whistle-blower, one or two, whatever, they come forward, under oath, testify, so the public can judge their credibility.
If that doesn’t happen in the House, I will make sure it happens in the Senate.
What this means is that the Senate is not going to share documents, etc., with the House absent a vote. It means Adam Schiff’s actions will be scrutinized by the Senate in the case of impeachment. It means that none of the whistleblowers will be able to remain anonymous.
On the whole, I think the stake have been raised substantially for Pelosi. Let’s see what happens next.

Mitch McConnell: Impeachment is the Ravings of a ‘Left-Wing Mob’
Posted at 7:07 pm on October 06, 2019 by Alex Parker

As Maxine Waters christens congressional Republicans “spineless” (here), Mitch McConnell’s calling it quite differently.
The Republican Kentucky senator posted an ad to Facebook Thursday, denouncing the “left-wing mob” and their torches lighting the way to — in the words of Maxine — “Impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment”:
“Nancy Pelosi’s in the clutches of a left-wing mob. They finally convinced her to impeach the President.”
Mitch also championed hope. In the form of himself:
“All of you know your Constitution. The way that impeachment stops is a Senate majority with me as majority leader.”
The congressman noted to CNBC Monday that if the House decides to pull the trigger on impeachment, the Senate has no choice but to follow suit:
“nder the Senate rules we are required to take it up, if the House goes down that path and we will follow the Senate rules.”
Mitch told his social media audience, “Your conservative Senate Majority is the ONLY thing stopping Nancy Pelosi from impeaching President Trump. Donate & help us keep it!”
That majority, of course, will be under threat in 2020. But so will the Dems’ control of the House.
If those across the aisle go forward with a Trump trial, in the Executive branch, their goose is cooked — Biden will be in tatters, and kitten Elizabeth will be mauled by Donald the Lion. Hillary could slide in, but outside of that, no one’s looking to have even a remote shot to reach the Oval Office courtesy of the DNC.
What then, of the legislature? Will impeachment damage the Democrat stronghold in the House?
Either way, conservative voters won’t want to take a chance. Mitch is right: the Senate is key to stopping the “mob.” Not just now, but going forward past the next election.
Impeachment could be a mere bluff, but the Democrats have really shot themselves in the foot. If they turn back now, they’ll lose face. If they keep going, they’ll lose the election.
I suppose the presidency’s out of their reach either way. But on the other side of a failed impeachment, will they keep the House?
I want to hear from you. Let us all know how you see it going down.
