Bolton took big money from a Ukrainian Clinton Foundation donor

[Swordsmyth]

Former White House national security adviser John Bolton pocketed $115,000 from Ukrainian steel oligarch Viktor Pinchuk’s foundation shortly before entering President Donald Trump’s White House as national security adviser, a position first held in the Trump White House by General Michael Flynn. Bolton’s unpublished manuscript reportedly accuses Trump of wanting to withhold military aid to Ukraine, but Trump denies this had anything to do with a Quid Pro Quo situation. Democrats are clamoring to call Bolton as a witness in Trump’s Senate impeachment trial regarding his alleged pressuring of the Ukrainian president to investigate Joe Biden’s alleged corruption in the country’s oil and gas industry. Ukraine’s president Zelensky adamantly denies that Trump pressured him.
Former Bush UN ambassador Bolton served as Trump’s national security adviser from April 2018 to September 2019. Bolton is known as a rabid neoconservative interventionist. President Donald Trump fired Bolton and cited his opposition to Bolton’s establishment foreign policy views, accusing Bolton of undermining his negotiations with the North Korean regime.
The neocon wing strongly supports the U.S. funding and arming of Ukraine to challenge Russian leader Vladimir Putin, an oil exporter who is hated by the Washington foreign policy establishment.


A financial disclosure shows (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/jared-kushner-and-ivanka-trump-made-at-least-82-million-in-outside-income-last-year-while-serving-in-the-white-house-filings-show/2018/06/11/a41d0720-6dab-11e8-bd50-b80389a4e569_story.html) that Bolton accepted $115,000 from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation for a pair of speeches in September 2017 and February 2018.
At the former speech in Kiev (https://www.yes-ukraine.org/en/photo-and-video/video/14-a-shchorichna-zustrich-yes/novi-ssha-interesi-zamist-tsinnostey), Bolton sat on a panel and basically expressed that the national security establishment would not allow Trump to become unconventional on policy, stating, “The notion that [Trump’s presidency] is going to represent a dramatic break in foreign policy is just wrong. Calm down, for God’s sake.”
As the Washington Post noted (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/john-bolton-was-paid-115000-to-participate-in-two-panels-sponsored-by-foundation-of-ukrainian-steel-magnate/2018/06/12/df6d48a0-6e67-11e8-afd5-778aca903bbe_story.html), Pinchuk has exceeded $10 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation.

This is troubling.


Hopefully this was his first strike and this ZOA supported leader had not taken money from any other Clinton Foundation donors before this.

Paying protection money and taking/paying a bribe are not the same thing.

Roger Stone and member of the Trump campaign Michael Caputo have worked for Ukrainian politician Volodymyr Lytvyn, who was an aide to President Leonid Kuchma from 1994–99 and his chief of staff from 1999 to 2002.
Another of Kuchma’s chiefs of staff was Viktor Medvedchuk, who worked with Paul Manafort on Viktor Yanukovych’s 2004 presidential campaign in the Ukraine.
The daughter of Viktor Medvedchuk’s godfather is none other than Vladimir Putin and her godmother is the wife of Putin’s Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev, Svetlana Medvedeva.

Arthur Finkelstein, who’s linked to MEGA member Ron Lauder, served as a mentor to Lee Atwater and Trump´s long-time unofficial adviser Roger Stone.
Ron Lauder is implicated in Netanyahu’s corruption scandal, which is also linked to Trump´s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Beny Steinmetz.

In 2010, Finkelstein and Robert Mercer financed Rick Lazio’s campaign.

On 22 May 1992, that date couldn´t be anything numeric, George Lang and Ron Lauder partnered to open a restaurant. Lang is linked to Arpad Goncz, who was the first to appoint the Zionist Gatestone Institute supported Viktor Orban as Prime Minister of Hungaria.
In 2008, none other than Arthur Finkelstein and his business partner George Birnbaum began advising Orban.

In 2013, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg partners with Finkelstein protégé Jon Lerner.

Here’s an overview of some of the links between Finkelstein, Lauder, David Horowitz and Donald Trump.

Note the little known Ronn Torossian of the Chabad, who appears to be connected to just about all of the Trump scandals: https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1038&p=5755

Ronn Torossian is a spokesperson for Evgeny “Gene” Freidman, who has been Michael Cohen’s (Trump’s lawyer, now in jail) Taxi Medallion business partner since the 1990s.
Torossian works for Ketchum, like the wife of Ezra Cohen-Watnick, who was was Mike Flynn’s hire at the NSA.
Ronn Torossian knows Russian oligarch Vladimir Lisin since at least 2009, who was involved in the 2006 Rosneft IPO with Roman Abramovich and Oleg Deripaska.

In 2001, Trump aide Stephen Miller invited David Horowitz to speak at his school, they are still friends. David Horowitz is also a frequent contributor to Breitbart.com.
Horowitz runs the website Frontpagemag.com that has featured Sebastian Gorka and Stephen Miller. Ronn Torossian has also published articles at Frontpagemag.com. Some of Torossian’s articles were written with Arthur Finkelstein’s business partner from 2003 to 2017, George Birnbaum: http://archive.is/zBcsD
