This is just the tip of the corruption iceberg this so called patriot ambassador was tangled up in...
- Pete Sessions (R-Tex.) wrote to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to say that Yovanovitch “reportedly demonstrated clear anti-Trump bias.”
- the Hill’s John Solomon published an interview with Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko, who alleged that Yovanovitch had given him a “do not prosecute list,” ostensibly to protect Obama-Clinton allies, back in 2016.
- Soon after taking office, (Ukraine General Prosecutor) was summoned to the U.S. Embassy to meet the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch. Lutsenko told Solomon that Yovanovitch handed him “a list of people whom we should not prosecute.” I guess that’s what happens when one tries to investigate an Obama administration/Soros group.
- The implied message to Ukraine’s prosecutors was clear: Don’t target AntAC in the middle of an America presidential election in which Soros was backing Hillary Clinton to succeed another Soros favorite, Barack Obama, Ukrainian officials said. “We ran right into a buzzsaw and we got bloodied,” a senior Ukrainian official told me.
John Solomon is a known liar. But you will learn this.
I utterly destroyed you on this topic, go lick your wounds.
Lol! You destroyed yourself.
Solomon's Part in the Trump–Ukraine controversy
In April 2019,
The Hill published two opinion pieces by Solomon regarding allegations by Ukrainian officials that "American Democrats" and particularly former Vice-President
Joe Biden of collaborating with "their allies in Kiev" in "wrongdoing...ranging from 2016 election interference to obstructing criminal probes."
[26][27] Solomon's stories attracted attention in conservative media.
[22] Fox News frequently covered Solomon's claims;
[28] Solomon also promoted these allegations on Sean Heannity's Fox News show.
[22] According to
The Washington Post Solomon's pieces "played an important role in advancing a flawed, Trump-friendly tale of corruption in Ukraine, particularly involving Biden and his son Hunter", and inspired "the alleged effort by Trump and his allies to pressure Ukraine’s government into digging up dirt on Trump’s Democratic rivals."
[22] On the same day that
The Washington Post published its article,
The Hill published another opinion piece by Solomon in which Solomon states that there are "(h)undreds of pages of never-released memos and documents...(that) conflict with Biden’s narrative."
[29]
Solomon's stories had significant flaws.[22][19] Not only had the State Department dismissed the allegations presented by Solomon as "an outright fabrication", but the Ukrainian prosecutor who Solomon claimed made the allegations to him is not supporting Solomon's claim.[22][19] Foreign Policy noted that anti-corrupton activists in Ukraine had characterized the source behind Solomon's claims as an unreliable narrator who had hindered anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine.[30] Solomon pushed allegations that Biden wanted to remove a Ukrainian prosecutor in order to prevent an investigation of a Ukrainian company that his son, Hunter Biden, served on; however, Western governments and anti-corruption activist wanted the prosecutor removed because he was
reluctant to pursue corruption investigations.
[19] By September 2019, Solomon said he still stood 100% by his stories.
[22] There is no evidence of wrong-doing by Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, and no evidence that Hunter Biden was ever under investigation by Ukrainian authorities.
[31] WNYC characterized Solomon's Ukraine stories as laundering of foreign propaganda.[32]
Prior to the publication of a story where Solomon alleged that the Obama administration had pressured the Ukrainian government to stop investigating a group funded by George Soros, Solomon sent the full text of his report to Ukrainian-American businessman Lev Parnas and the two pro-Trump lawyers and conspiracy theorists Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing.
[33] Solomon said he did so for fact-checking, but Parnas, DiGenova and Toensing were not mentioned in the text, nor did Solomon send individual items of the draft for vetting (but rather the whole draft).

Lev Parnas was arrested last week as part of several illegal situations involving his work in the Ukraine for Trump and Giuliani.
