Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani alleged on Dec. 6 that $5.3 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine was misused, with much of the money going to non-governmental organizations favored by the U.S. embassy.
I’ve said it several times on this board over the past month already, the swamp is not mad Trump held up Ukrainian aid, they are mad because Trump purchased Javelins from Raytheon with the aid money. That was swamp money and the swamp wanted to spend it on their friends.
Now with this news coming out through alternative news sources like the Epoch Times, for obvious reasons, IMO Giuliani has the goods. That is, he has the money trail via bank records.

Guilini should visit Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea on his corruption tour of the state department. PNG is one Of the poorest nations in the world with people in abject poverty yet they were one of the largest donors to the Clinton Foundation which resulted in a visit from Hillary and the USA is inexplicably building an embassy in one of the most valuable pieces of land in the country and staff stay in the most expensive apartments in the country.

I agree Gumbo, its also the need for a firebreak to prevent opening pandora's box. That 5.3 billion is the tip of the iceberg.
Trump could leverage this to do forensic audits on every facet of govt. spending. The pentagon has never had an external audit. The first internal one they did (when the budget was 650 not 750 billion) they admitted there was 100 billion in waste, so likely it was 150-200 billion and that was before they got another 100 billion.
Remember hils words "He wins and we all hang", ....she's right you know...

An absolute "must read" for anyone interested in politics.

A portion of Giuliani’s claim appears to refer to an allegation about Yovanovitch that was first reported by investigative journalist John Solomon. Citing a video interview with Lutsenko, the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Solomon reported that Yovanovitch gave Lutsenko a “do not prosecute” list of people to the Ukrainians. Yovanovitch and the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine denied the claim.
Senior State Department official George Kent, one of the impeachment inquiry witnesses, told lawmakers that the U.S. embassy did push for certain groups and individuals to not be prosecuted. Kent also confirmed that he signed a letter which specifically warns against the prosecution of one of the groups on Yovanovitch’s “do not prosecute” list.
During the impeachment hearings, Democrats claimed that Lutsenko recanted his comments about the list. That claim relies on a report by a Ukrainian media outlet. The lawmakers did not mention that in subsequent interviews with Solomon and the New York Times, Lutsenko stood by his allegation that Yovanovitch pushed against the prosecution of certain groups and individuals.
One of the organizations on Yovanovitch’s list and in Kent’s letter is the Anti-Corruption Action Center, a group jointly funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars and a foundation belonging to billionaire financier George Soros.
