Schiff's latest witness accused of obstruction of justice

Jeff Dunetz:
Friday the 15th of November is day two of Schiff’s impeachment farce. The star witness is US Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, who was fired by Trump on May 20th, two months before the July 25th phone call between President Trump and Ukraine President Zelinsky. She is being called just to smear President Trump. Yovanovitch has been accused by Ukrainian prosecutors of preventing criminal evidence from being given to AG Barr and was exposed as lying under oath during her testimony to Adam Schiff’s double Secret hearings in the congressional basement.

In April of this year, Kostiantyn Kulyk, deputy head of the Prosecutor General’s International Legal Cooperation Department, told John Solomon that “he and other senior law enforcement officials tried unsuccessfully since last year to get visas from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev to deliver their evidence to Washington.”

Per Prosecutor Kulyk:
We were supposed to share this information during a working trip to the United States,” Kulyk told me in a wide-ranging interview. “However, the [U.S.] ambassador blocked us from obtaining a visa. She didn’t explicitly deny our visa, but also didn’t give it to us.”

One focus of Ukrainian investigators, Kulyk said, has been money spirited unlawfully out of Ukraine and moved to the United States by businessmen friendly to the prior, pro-Russia regime of Viktor Yanukovych.

Ukrainian businessmen “authorized payments for lobbying efforts directed at the U.S. government,” he told me. “In addition, these payments were made from funds that were acquired during the money-laundering operation. We have information that a U.S. company was involved in these payments.” That company is tied to one or more prominent Democrats, Ukrainian officials insist.

In another instance, he said, Ukrainian authorities gathered evidence that money paid to an American Democrat allegedly was hidden by Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) during the 2016 election under pressure from U.S. officials. “In the course of this investigation, we found that there was a situation during which influence was exerted on the NABU, so that the name of [the American] would not be mentioned,” he said.
As we reported in late March, the former Ukranian Government is known for being very corrupt, and that includes the head of the NABU Artem Sytnyk. A prosecutor other than Kulyk is investigating Sytnyk for trying to help Hillary to win the 2016 election, which was initially reported two years ago by Politico. Because of the suspected involvement by NABU, which had a close relationship with the U.S. Ambassador and the FBI agents in Ukraine Kostiantyn Kulyk wanted to personally deliver the evidence to the DOJ rather than giving it to the American officials in his country.

There is more.

I think the Democrats are also trying to obstruct justice by blocking testimony about their own corruption in cohoots with some in Ukraine.
