Senate panel look into Ukraine interference comes up short
12/02/2019
Some Republican senators recently questioned whether Kyiv tried to sabotage Donald Trump’s campaign in 2016. But the GOP-led Intelligence Committee looked into the theory, and found scant evidence to support it.
"...the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee thoroughly investigated that theory, according to people with direct knowledge of the inquiry, and found no evidence that Ukraine waged a top-down interference campaign akin to the Kremlin’s efforts to help Trump win in 2016.
...
more:
The Senate interview largely focused on a POLITICO article published in January 2017, according to a person with direct knowledge of the closed-door hearing, in which Chalupa was quoted as saying officials at the Ukrainian Embassy were "helpful" to her effort to raise the alarm about Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort in 2016.
... As the POLITICO article noted, there was “little evidence” of a “top-down effort” by the Ukraianian government to sabotage Trump’s campaign. And the article did not allege that Poroshenko “actively worked” for Clinton, as Kennedy claimed. ..."
Senate panel look into Ukraine interference comes up short
@redleghunter was interested a few days ago in this topic, and posted a lengthy 2017 Politico article (mentioned above), which didn't show Ukrainian interference actually, but did leave questions in some minds clearly. For instance, did the individual Ukrainians that gave information about Russian interference themselves constitute an interference?
Well, for any of us average Americans, we would answer that that would depend on if their information was false.
But it was true information those individuals gave:
The Russian-originated political memes and claims spread in the U.S. in 2016 -- as investigated, examined and concluded by the Republican Senate committee investigation
https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Report_Volume1.pdf
-- that Russia did interfere in the 2016 election.
So, the individuals in Ukraine that revealed that to the political investigator Chalupa were revealing true information to her.
In 2017, Chalupa told POLITICO reporters that officials at the Ukrainian Embassy were "helpful" to her effort to raise the alarm about Manafort. "If I asked a question, they would provide guidance, or if there was someone I needed to follow up with," she said.
