"Alexandra Chalupa, an operative paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), asked the Ukrainian embassy in Washington for dirt on Trump-campaign chairman Paul Manafort in 2016, the embassy confirmed in a statement to The Hill. 

"While the embassy denies having helped the operative, a former embassy worker told The Hill’s John Solomon that the embassy helped Chalupa knowing full well that she was working to help elect then-candidate Hillary Clinton and defeat then-candidate Donald Trump.

"Ambassador Valeriy Chaly, in written answers to Solomon, said that Chalupa asked the Ukrainian government for information on Manafort’s dealings inside Ukraine. Chalupa tried to arrange for Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to comment about Manafort’s ties to Russia during a 2016 visit to Washington, Chaly said. 

“ 'The Embassy got to know Ms. Chalupa because of her engagement with Ukrainian and other diasporas in Washington D.C., and not in her DNC capacity. We’ve learned about her DNC involvement later,” Chaly said in a statement to The Hill. “We were surprised to see Alexandra’s interest in Mr. Paul Manafort’s case. It was her own cause. The Embassy representatives unambiguously refused to get involved in any way, as we were convinced that this is a strictly U.S. domestic matter. 

“ 'All ideas floated by Alexandra were related to approaching a Member of Congress with a purpose to initiate hearings on Paul Manafort or letting an investigative journalist ask President Poroshenko a question about Mr. Manafort during his public talk in Washington, D.C.,” Chaly said." . . .

Finally an effective President and his enemies want to destroy him and his Attorney General

William Barr in the Crosshairs  . . . "William Barr, even more than President Trump, may be the most important man in America at this moment in time.  His integrity, strength of character, belief in America, and belief in the rule of law are what stand in the breach between the destruction of America as we have known it and its defense and restoration.  Never before in my lifetime has our nation or our attorney general faced a greater internal peril than today.  If ever an attorney general needed our prayers, that time is now; that attorney general is William Barr."

The Democrats are worried. They should be.  . . . "And while Barr went onto say he's not necessarily investigating the FBI, he stated that perhaps there was a failure of leadership by upper-echelon FBI officials.  A.G. Bill Barr concluded, "I feel I have an obligation to make sure that government power is not abused.  I think that's one of the principal rules of the 
attorney general.' " . . .

Nadler, leader of the star chamber

Conrad Black: Democrats Court Electoral Disaster With Trump Hearings  "The Democrats should be changing the subject, and running away from President Trump’s legal issues as fast as they can.

"It is illustrative of how completely invested they were in the hare-brained fraud of Russian collusion, that they are having such a crisis of separation from the subject. They are not the only losers in this fiasco, though they are the biggest losers.

"They are left trying to pretend that they have an invitation to impeach from special counsel Robert Mueller, but that is not correct. In his and his Trump-hating investigative staff’s desperation to attack the president, Mueller engaged in the wholly unprofessional practice of acknowledging that he could not claim there was adequate evidence to prosecute or impeach the president, but could not exonerate him, either. It was up to the House of Representatives to determine if there were grounds to impeach." . . .

Desperate media and other Dems generating fake hysteria over Barr as reckoning looms over Russia hoax

The basic problem that the Dems have now is that the storyline has become simple and direct: Obama administration officials used the FBI, NSA, CIA, and other national security organs to spy on a rival campaign, and then undermine an elected president. They desperately want their followers to ignore the evidence that is on its way.

Stilton's Place: Poking the Barr

Thomas Lifson  "Democrats and their media lackeys are going all out to assassinate the character of AG Barr, fanning of the flames of hysteria. Anna Stark is correct that “The Democrats are worried. They should be,” and because the Attorney General has vowed to investigate the origins of spying on a presidential campaign and then a president, they desperately want to discredit him.

"Kimberly Strassel of the Wall Street Journal has an excellent take:

The only thing uglier than an angry Washington is a fearful Washington. And fear is what’s driving this week’s blitzkrieg of Attorney General William Barr. (snip)

Do not underestimate how many powerful people in Washington have something to lose from Mr. Barr’s probe. Among them: Former and current leaders of the law-enforcement and intelligence communities. The Democratic Party pooh-bahs who paid a foreign national (Mr. Steele) to collect information from Russians and deliver it to the FBI. The government officials who misused their positions to target a presidential campaign. The leakers. The media. More than reputations are at risk. Revelations could lead to lawsuits, formal disciplinary actions, lost jobs, even criminal prosecution.

The attacks on Mr. Barr are first and foremost an effort to force him out, to prevent this information from coming to light until Democrats can retake the White House in 2020. As a fallback, the coordinated campaign works as a pre-emptive smear, diminishing the credibility of his ultimate findings by priming the public to view him as a partisan.
