Pompeo Summoned On Impeachment - Will Anyone Ask About Trafficking Tiny Humans?

I bet no one will ask him about the children's trust funds or anything else relevant to trafficking tiny humans.

Tiny humans grow up to vote, in many different Ways & Means!

Former Ukrainian prosecutor spoke with Rudy Giuliani "maybe 10 times"

To inquire about child welfare would mean there would have to be discussions on gerrymandering, which will bring down the heavens.

The suspense is absolutely delicious.

Trump impeachment inquiry: Pompeo subpoenaed by House Democrats

Mike Pompeo

Mike Pompeo is yet to publicly respond to the House Democrats' demand

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been ordered by Democrats to turn over documents relating to the Trump administration's dealings with Ukraine.

In a letter, the heads of three House committees subpoenaed Mr Pompeo to produce the documents within a week.

It is the latest move in rapidly escalating impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.

He is being scrutinised for allegedly pressuring Ukraine's president to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden.

In a separate development on Friday, the US special envoy for Ukraine negotiations, Kurt Volker, resigned, US media reported.

What's the Trump-Ukraine story about?
How easy is it to impeach a president?
Mr Trump has denied putting any pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a phone call in July, when Mr Biden was leading polls to win the Democratic nomination for the White House race in 2020.

Mr Trump has alleged that Mr Biden pressed for the sacking of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin in 2016 to protect a business that employed his son, Hunter Biden.

Mr Biden did call for the sacking of Mr Shokin, even threatening to withhold $1bn (£813m) in aid to Ukraine. But so did a number of other Western officials who saw Mr Shokin as a hindrance to anti-corruption investigations.

Impeachment is a two-stage political process, rarely exercised, by which a US president can be removed from office for wrongdoing.

Even if President Trump were impeached by the House of Representatives, he is unlikely to be forced out of the White House because Republicans control the Senate.

What is the Pompeo subpoena about?
It was issued in the joint letter by the House's Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and Oversight committees.

The committees are headed by Elliot Engel, Adam Schiff and Elijah Cummings respectively.

Media captionDid Trump ask for "a favour" in return for aid to Ukraine?
The letter says the subpoena was issued because Mr Pompeo had failed to comply with the demand to provide requested documents.

"Your continued refusal to provide the requested documents not only prevents our committees from fully investigating these matters, but impairs Congress' ability to fulfil its constitutional responsibilities to protect our national security and the integrity of our democracy," the letter said.

The three committees also informed Mr Pompeo that they planned to request testimonies from five officials, including Mr Volker and the former US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, in the next two weeks.

Mr Pompeo has so far made no public comments on the subpoena.

What is the claim about Joe Biden?
On 25 July, Mr Trump raised Mr Shokin's removal during a phone call with newly elected President Zelensky, details of which were released by the White House this week after a huge row over a complaint by a whistleblower.

What Trump's Ukraine phone call really means
Mr Trump went on to discuss Hunter Biden and the unsubstantiated allegation that his father - then the US vice-president - stopped an investigation into his son's employer by lobbying Ukraine to fire Mr Shokin.

The chief prosecutor's office was inquiring into Burisma, a natural gas company on which Hunter Biden was a board member.

There is no evidence of any wrongdoing by the Bidens.

In a BBC interview, former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said Mr Shokin was sacked for corruption, denying Mr Trump's claims.

Who is Kurt Volker?
Appointed in 2017 in a volunteer capacity, Mr Volker was a key player in US efforts to help resolve an ongoing crisis in Ukraine that started with the annexation of Crimea by Russia and Moscow's support for separatists in the east.

Kurt Volker is also executive director of the McCain Institute for International Leadership think tank
Mr Volker was mentioned in the whistleblower's complaint on 12 August.

It says that Mr Volker and US Ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland, met President Zelensky and other Ukrainian politicians on 26 July.

The complaint says Mr Volker and Mr Sondland "reportedly provided advice to the Ukrainian leadership about how to 'navigate' the demands that [President Trump] had made of Mr Zelensky".

It says that Mr Volker and Mr Sondland had also spoken with Rudi Guiliani, Mr Trump's lawyer, to try to "contain the damage" to US national security.

Why is the July phone call controversial?
Democrats accuse Mr Trump of illegally seeking foreign help in the hope of smearing Mr Biden.

The US president called on the Ukrainian leader to talk to US Attorney General William Barr and Mr Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani about investigating Hunter Biden's past business dealings.

Mr Trump is accused of using military aid to Ukraine as a bargaining tool. The package - which has since been released - was aimed at supporting US interests in a friendly country.

Mr Trump, a Republican, denies any wrongdoing and has dismissed the impeachment proceedings as a "hoax" and "another witch-hunt".

He acknowledged that he had personally blocked nearly $400m (£324m) in military aid to Ukraine days before he spoke to Mr Zelensky, but denied that it was to pressure the Ukrainian leader into investigating Mr Biden.

Few details are known. A lawyer for the whistleblower warned that trying to identify the person could place them "in harm's way".

The New York Times, Washington Post and Reuters news agency identified the whistleblower as a CIA officer.

Their complaint accuses Mr Trump of "using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the US 2020 election".

The declassified document characterises the president's conduct as a "serious or flagrant problem, abuse, or violation of law".

The whistleblower says they had learned from several sources that senior White House officials had intervened to "lock down" all records of the call, particularly an official word-for-word transcript.

"This set of actions underscored to me that White House officials understood the gravity of what had transpired in the call," the whistleblower wrote in the complaint.

The Tale Of Kateryna Mykhaylivna Yushchenko & Her Ukrainian Trafficking Tiny Humans Trust Funds With George Bush

The Yushchenkos and Bushs

So, let me get this straight.

Prevezon was in partnership with the Africa Israel Investment Fund that built the Israeli settlements on the West Bank?

Well, now, Bill Browder gets around.

However were they laundering the money?

I am going with the former First Lady of the Ukraine, Kateryna Mykhaylivna Yushchenko.

Yes, she even worked for the U.S. State Department in USAID and the CIA, or so they say.

According to Wikipedia:

She later worked in the White House in the Office of Public Liaison during the administration of Ronald Reagan. Subsequently, she worked at the U.S. Treasury in the executive secretary's office during the administration of George H. W. Bush. After leaving that position, she was on the staff of the Joint Economic Committee of the United States Congress. After Ukraine declared its freedom, she was a co-founder and the vice-president of Ukraine-USA Foundation. She was also the director of Pylyp Orlyk Institute. In 1993, she joined KPMG Peat Marwick/Barents Group as a consultant in its Bank Training Program and Country Manager, where she met Viktor Yushchenko, whom she subsequently married. She left her job in August 2000, when she was expecting her second child.
Yushchenko is now involved in numerous charitable projects with the Ukraine 3000 International Foundation that she chairs.[1] The key priority of the Foundation is better health for Ukraine’s children. On the Supervisory Board of Ukraine 3000 Foundation, established in 2001, are some of Ukraine’s most prominent educational, humanitarian, cultural, literary and sports figures. President Victor Yushchenko served as Chairman of the Supervisory Council until his inauguration in 2005. Since then, its Chairman is Kateryna Yushchenko. All programs and projects of the Foundation are implemented within three major areas: "Ukraine Yesterday", "Ukraine Today" and "Ukraine Tomorrow". The biggest projects of the Foundation are the "Hospital to Hospital" program, the construction and support of the "Children's Hospital of the Future" and "The Joy of Childhood – Free Movements" program.

Her are some of the "partnerships"

• Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
• Children’s Medical Care Foundation
• Committee to Assist Ukrainian Orphans and Children without Parental Care
• Computers for Humanity
• Consul General of Ukraine in San Francisco
• Direct Relief International
• Embassy of Ukraine to United States of America
• House of Ukraine, San Diego
• Lviv Regional Neonatal Resuscitation Center
• Sabre Foundation
• Smoloskyp
• UCP/Wheels for Humanity
• Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Foundation
• Ukrainian Catholic Education Foundation
• Ukrainian Culture Center of Los Angeles
• Ukrainian National Association, John Hodiak Branch 257, Los Angeles
• Ukrainian National Choir ‘Kobzar’
• Ukrainian Medical Association of North America
• Ukrainian National Women’s League of America
• Ukrainian National Women’s League (Ukraine)
• University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy
• Young Diplomacy Center, Ukraine

It seems her background in the implementation of H.W. Bush's Privatization Infrastructure Executive Order immediately led her to KMPG, where there is an office in Detroit with its accounting footprints all over the Emergency Managers of the City of Detroit, Hamtramck, Highland Park.

It is called pareto optimalilzation, meaning only the top entrepreneurs can benefit as one of those greater good as opposed to that deontological stuff like trafficking tiny humans, because ethics impedes in the maximization of billing Medicaid for fraudulent child welfare programs that do absolutely nothing but to provide these foreign, privatized, contracted human services corporations a stronger foundation with fancy, shiny white papers with colorful pictures to prove they are fit to be granted corporate parental rights, to pirate the children's trusts.

It seems she then took her cracker jack team of global tax adversive child welfare NGO accountants and set up the Clinton Health Access Initiative with her buddy, Timothy Stiles, who just so happens to be an expert in Social Impact Bonds in child welfare.

It also seems she was very busy with Bush for the one year anniversary of 911.

Russian attorney, who attended Trump Tower meeting, indicted for obstructing real estate money laundering investigation

The lawyer's client, Prevezon Holdings, was accused of laundering millions into luxury Manhattan properties

Natalia Veselnitskaya and 20 Pine Street

A Russian attorney who met with Donald Trump Jr. during the 2016 presidential campaign has been indicted for obstructing a federal investigation into a New York money laundering scheme, according to a complaint unsealed Tuesday in Manhattan court.

Natalie Veselnitskaya had been the defense attorney for real estate company Prevezon Holdings, which in 2013 was accused by U.S. prosecutors of laundering millions in stolen Russian money into Manhattan luxury properties, including condominiums at 20 Pine Street in the Financial District.

Before the case went to trial, Veselnitskaya’s clients settled, and in February of last year were ordered to pay $6 million. But in today’s unveiled complaint, prosecutors allege the Russian attorney provided the American court with falsified reports presented as authentic Russian government findings that denied the United States’ claims against Prevezon.

The New York Times first reported on the unsealed complaint.

In the Prevezon case, prosecutors alleged that laundered money came from a more than $200 million Russian tax fraud scheme, in which American hedge fund manager Bill Browder, and his firm Hermitage Capital, were said to be framed by Russian officials, who issued phony tax rebates and pocketed the sums for themselves. The fracas culminated in the mysterious death of Hermitage’s accountant, Sergei Magnitsky, in a Russian prison in 2009. Those events led the US Congress to pass the Magnitsky Act, which sanctioned high-ranking Russian officials believed to be responsible.

Veselnitskaya, Prevezon’s now indicted attorney, is better known as a subject of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and potential collusion with Russian individuals. In 2016, Veselnitskaya met with Donald Trump Jr, campaign manager Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner at Trump Tower. The meeting was ostensibly held to discuss potential opposition research on Hillary Clinton, but ultimately to lobby them on the Magnitsky Act, Donald Trump, Jr. later said. Trump, Jr. had first been pitched the meeting by an English publicist, who described Veselnitskaya as connected to “the Crown prosecutor of Russia” in an email.

The Russian government was largely uncooperative in the U.S. Prevezon investigation, according to previous reporting, but Veselnitskaya provided to U.S. attorneys documents she said were the result of the Russian government’s own investigation into the allegations, claiming that the tax fraud scheme had been carried out not by corrupt Russian bureaucrats, but by Browder and Hermitage Capital. U.S. Attorneys, however, allege in their indictment that Veselnitskaya herself participated in the drafting and careful wording of these documents, without disclosing to the court that she had done so.

In a statement Tuesday Morning, Geoffrey Berman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said, “Fabricating evidence – submitting false and deceptive declarations to a federal judge – in an attempt to affect the outcome of pending litigation not only undermines the integrity of the judicial process, but it threatens the ability of our courts and our Government to ensure that justice is done.”

Prevezon, which admitted no wrongdoing in its 2017 settlement, was a partner of Lev Leviev’s Africa Israel Investment, including in investments alleged to be vehicles for money laundering, such as the sale of the 20 Pine condos.

Veselnitskaya, Prevezon, Detroit & A Grand Jury Magnitsky indictment For Trafficking Tiny Humans

The same thing they did in Russia is the same thing they did in Detroit.

They were stealin' the children, the land and the votes.

The SDNY Grand Jury Indictment and Prevezon filings, are below.

This is about the Children's Trust Funds because there seems to be parallel prosecutorial models going on in Russia and the U.S.

Veselnitskaya, Russian in Trump Tower Meeting, Is Charged in Case That Shows Kremlin Ties

Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, Russian attorney for Prevezon
and trafficking tiny humans under Magnitsky Act.

Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who in 2016 met with Trump campaign officials in Trump Tower, was charged on Tuesday in a separate case that showed her close ties to the Kremlin.

Ms. Veselnitskaya, a pivotal figure in the investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election, was charged by federal prosecutors in Manhattan with seeking to thwart an earlier investigation into money laundering that involved an influential Russian businessman and his investment firm.

The money-laundering case was not directly related to the Trump Tower meeting. But a federal indictment returned in Manhattan seemed to confirm that Ms. Veselnitskaya had deep ties to senior Russian government officials and rekindled questions about whether the Kremlin tried to use her as an intermediary to Donald J. Trump’s campaign.

The charge stems from a 2013 civil investigation by the Manhattan prosecutors into the role that some of Ms. Veselnitskaya’s clients — Prevezon Holdings and its owner, Denis P. Katsyv — played in a scheme to launder ill-gotten money through New York real estate purchases.

The Justice Department asked the Russian government to assist its investigation, but the Russians refused, responding with a document that purported to exonerate Russian officials and Prevezon, according to the indictment.

The indictment said Ms. Veselnitskaya secretly cooperated with a senior Russian prosecutor in drafting the document, which was later filed in federal court in Manhattan.

She is charged with one count of obstruction of justice.

Ms. Veselnitskaya, 43, is believed to be in Russia, according to the United States attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, which moved to unseal the indictment on Tuesday. The office gave no indication that it expected her to be sent to Manhattan to face charges.

Ms. Veselnitskaya did not respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. CNN quoted her as saying she had just learned of the indictment and would defend her “professional honor.”

The new indictment again raised questions about whom Ms. Veselnitskaya was representing when she met with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort and others at Trump Tower in Manhattan.

That meeting is one focus of the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia’s covert operation to sway the presidential race. It was organized after an intermediary promised that Ms. Veselnitskaya would deliver documents that would incriminate Hillary Clinton.

Last April, Ms. Veselnitskaya acknowledged in an interview with NBC News that she was not merely a private lawyer, but a source of information for the Russian prosecutor general, Yuri Y. Chaika. Now, prosecutors in Manhattan say she collaborated clandestinely with that office to write an official letter that benefited Prevezon.

For years, Ms. Veselnitskaya has been regarded as a trusted insider and go-to lawyer for the Moscow regional government.

In the fraud case, filed in 2013, the Manhattan prosecutors accused Prevezon and other defendants of using real estate purchases in New York to launder a small portion of the proceeds of a $230 million Russian tax scheme. The lawsuit was settled last May on the eve of trial for about $6 million, with Prevezon admitting no fault.

The Russian fraud had been uncovered by Sergei L. Magnitsky, the Russian lawyer who was imprisoned after exposing the scheme and who died in a Moscow jail.

Ms. Veselnitskaya has maintained that she was acting in a private capacity when she visited Trump Tower in June 2016, shortly after Mr. Trump clinched the Republican nomination.

Her claim has been undercut by revelations that the meeting was organized because campaign officials had been told she could offer damaging information about Ms. Clinton from the Russian government.

In addition, her memo on talking points for the meeting closely matched a memo Mr. Chaika’s office had prepared for an American congresswoman, incorporating some passages verbatim.

The indictment unsealed on Tuesday could further undermine Ms. Veselnitskaya’s story, alleging that a year before the Trump Tower get-together she worked hand in glove with Russian officials to derail the money-laundering case.

In that case, the Manhattan prosecutors alleged that corrupt Russian officials stole the corporate identities of companies owned by Hermitage Capital Management, a foreign investment firm operating in Russia, and used them to fraudulently claim $230 million in tax refunds.

As part of the investigation, the Justice Department asked the Russian government in 2014 for assistance in obtaining bank records and other materials pertaining to the fraud scheme, the indictment said.

In response, the Russians provided the supposed findings of an investigation that “purported to exonerate all Russian government personnel” and instead cast blame on the London-based chief executive of Hermitage, William F. Browder; his lawyer, Mr. Magnitsky; and others.

In 2015, lawyers representing Prevezon, which had been accused of laundering some of the fraudulent proceeds, filed court papers, including the declaration from Ms. Veselnitskaya, to argue that the Russian government’s findings were exculpatory evidence. The papers did not disclose her role, the indictment charged.

The indictment said Ms. Veselnitskaya exchanged emails with a senior Russian prosecutor, attaching drafts with edits and comments. Many of her suggestions “were adopted, either essentially verbatim, in rephrased form or with light edits,” it said.

The Russian prosecutor’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States attorney in Manhattan, said on Tuesday that “fabricating evidence” in an attempt “to affect the outcome of pending litigation not only undermines the integrity of the judicial process, but it threatens the ability of our courts and our government to ensure that justice is done.”

Mr. Browder led a human-rights campaign against the Kremlin that has resulted in sanctions being imposed against Russian officials worldwide. He said on Tuesday that Ms. Veselnitskaya “came to the United States to disrupt the political process by lying about me and lying about Sergei Magnitsky, my murdered lawyer. And she got caught lying, and she’s being prosecuted for those lies.”
