The western media has been unanimous in its conspiracy-mongering for almost three years now. Allegations of Russia meddling in the American election are accepted as conspiracy fact by the liberal anti-Trump mainstream. But there is mounting evidence of Ukrainian oligarchs meddling in the American election against Trump. Rogue Ukrainian oligarch Andrey Artyomenko breaks his silence and spills the details.
Andrey Artyomenko, former deputy of Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine: "After Trump won, who else is Poroshenko supposed to be afraid of after he did everything to not let him win? There's only one person, President of the USA Donald Trump".
Strolling by the Capitol Hill, Artyomenko recalls the time when Trump met Poroshenko in July 2017. Artyomenko believes that the five-minute format of the meeting was humiliating for Ukraine.
- Would you like to say anything?
- That's a great honor and a great pleasure to be here with you, dear Mr. President.
According to the British media, Poroshenko's representatives paid between 400,000 and 600,000 euro for that meeting to Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen.
Andrey Artyomenko: "I saw that meeting being prepared. I don't think somebody got paid for it. I believe the embassy was trying to organize the meeting on its level. That's another example that gives you an idea of what the Ukrainian embassy in the US is like. The president of a country, the president of my country regardless of my attitude towards him, wasn't greeted by the US President on the White House lawn or porch; the US President wasn't accompanied by the First Lady violating the protocol".
Another thing violating the protocol was Poroshenko's improvised press conference, which he held behind the White House fence.
Andrey Artyomenko: “Poroshenko held a fiery three-minute speech swearing eternal loyalty and love to Trump. And that's after everything he said about him during the 2016 election campaign.
During the campaign, Artyomenko placed his bet on Trump. His position didn't correspond to the general line of Poroshenko's administration.
Andrey Artyomenko: "Back then, I had civilized working relations with Ambassador Chaly, the Ukrainian Ambassador to the US. And I repeatedly asked Chaly why the Ukrainian authorities, Poroshenko, the Foreign Minister and the other ministers of the Ukrainian government supported Clinton so actively and openly. He told me that it had something to do with economic ties and the Ukrainian oligarch Pinchuk who would play a key role. Pinchuk was a friend of the Clintons. He sponsored the election campaign and donated a lot of money to Clinton's campaign fund. He told me to forget about Trump as he'd never win. That was his position".
It seems that Andrey Artyomenko drops a broad hint at the new twist that might be discovered by Special Counsel Mueller's investigation.
Andrey Artyomenko: "Moreover, the official position of the Ukrainian embassy was exclusively aimed at removing Trump as an election candidate and doing everything possible to support his opponent, Mrs. Clinton. Moreover, there were special groups that were digging up dirt on Trump and transferring that information to the Democratic Party headquarters. Why doesn't Special Counsel Mueller investigate this? Why is there no commission to investigate these facts? It was a direct interference of a state with the domestic affairs of another state that houses its embassy".
As proof, Artyomenko presents a recent interview of a former employee of the Ukrainian embassy in the US, Andrey Telyazhenko.
"Our goal was to remove Donald Trump from the election race. We aimed to summon a special Congress Committee meeting in fall 2016 and to seek his withdrawal. I was directly told that".
Andrey Artyomenko: "Mr. Chaly ordered his subordinates to dig up dirt on Trump and hand that information over to the representative of the Democratic Party, to Mrs. Hillary Clinton. These are facts. It was shared by an employee. Why haven't criminal proceedings been initiated at least in Ukraine, as that's a direct interference with the domestic affairs of another state? Why haven't criminal proceedings been initiated in the US?"
Artyomenko's cooperation with US law enforcement didn't stop at his testimony in the Manafort case. The papers from Poroshenko's black record were sent to the Department of Justice and the FBI.
Andrey Artyomenko: "I had a lot of information and access to the documents from various sources. I handed them over to the US law enforcement. The documents were associated with the financial aid for Ukraine loans for Ukraine, technical and military aid. There's a closed investigation going on. I won't divulge the secrecy of the investigation".
Nevertheless, Artyomenko can publicly present some of those documents.
Andrey Artyomenko: "Here's the letter of the former chief of the SSU, Mr. Nalyvaichenko, to the US Justice Department with the evidence of corruption and the information that the money allocated by the IMF for the restoration of Ukraine's economy was getting embezzled".
Artyomenko promises that it's only the beginning of his great exposures of Poroshenko.
Andrey Artyomenko: "Here's the list of Pyotr Poroshenko's offshore companies that he runs through his financial agents, his financial entourage that's been working with him for quite some time. This information was confirmed by a number of sources, including the controversial Panama Papers exposed last year. Being the President of Ukraine, he uses his offshore companies as a means of tax evasion".
These papers are a tiny part of what Artyomenko has. He'll share another batch of compromising evidence in the next round of this dangerous game against the president. But why did he get involved? Will it be his struggle for power?
Andrey Artyomenko: “I'm afraid that when Poroshenko realizes that there's no chance he can get re-elected he will impose martial law in Ukraine after staging some provocation in the east. That's what I'm actually afraid of because that legally allows him to cancel the elections, adopt a direct presidential rule, and impose martial law with all its consequences. That's going to be chaos.
