Seymour Hersh Reveals Massive Skimming of US Aid in Ukraine and Claims CIA Knows All About It

Wow, you never fail to fail.
My mother always said "Learn to be good at just one thing and stick with it"

So if what you say is true, I will be the biggest, greatest failure of all time, so help me God.

Seymour Hersh: The CIA Knows Ukrainian Officials Are Skimming US Aid

On Wednesday, Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a report on Substack that alleged the CIA was aware of widespread corruption in Ukraine and the embezzlement of US aid.
The report said the Ukrainian government has been using US taxpayer money to purchase diesel from Russia to fuel its military. Hersh said Zelensky “has been buying the fuel from Russia, the country with which it, and Washington, are at war, and the Ukrainian president and many in his entourage have been skimming untold millions from the American dollars earmarked for diesel fuel payments.”
Hersh said according to one estimate by CIA analysts, at least $400 million in funds were embezzled last year. Sources told Hersh that Ukrainian officials are also “competing” to set up front companies for export contracts to private arms dealers around the world.
The issue of corruption was raised during a meeting between CIA Director William Burns and Zelensky in January. An intelligence official with direct knowledge of the meeting told Hersh that Burns delivered a stunning message to Zelensky.
Hersh wrote: “The senior generals and government officials in Kiev were angry at what they saw as Zelensky’s greed, so Burns told the Ukrainian president, because ‘he was taking a larger share of the skim money than was going to the generals.’”
During the meeting, Burns presented Zelensky with a list of 35 generals and senior government officials whose corruption was known to the CIA. Zelensky responded by dismissing 10 officials who were engaged in flagrant corruption. “The ten he got rid of were brazenly bragging about the money they had—driving around Kiev in their new Mercedes,” the intelligence official said.
Hersh said Zelensky’s “half-hearted response” and the “lack of concern” in the White House angered some US intelligence officials. The intelligence official speaking to Hersh criticized President Biden’s two main foreign policy advisors, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
“They have no experience, judgment, and moral integrity. They just tell lies, make up stories. Diplomatic deniability is something else,” the official said. The official said there was a “total breakdown between the White House leadership and the intelligence community.”
~Snip~
Hersh’s story comes after a series of leaked top-secret documents from the Pentagon and other government agencies surfaced online. Some of the documents show US war planning for Ukraine and reveal the US doubts Kyiv’s ability to launch a successful counter-offensive, offering a starkly different view of Ukraine’s abilities than what Biden officials have been saying publicly.

Commentary:
Is this why Schumer, Senate Democrat and Rinos were so horrified by the proposal for an inspector general to be assigned over the pallets of cash.
It's pretty well known that American officials and politicians are also getting their fair share.
That is simply how government to government business is carried out. Well, carried out by corrupt governments.
Julian Assange speaking in 2011 said; “The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. The goal is an endless war, not a successful war”

The Ukrainian Money Laundering Operation, no audits, they sell the weapons on the Black Market

Soros spent $500MM getting control of Congress and Biden into the White House and he's look to make a 10 bagger in Ukraine

Not one lib here can explain why Dems in DC are so dead set against any auditing of the money and equipment that is supposedly going to Ukraine. Yet they also can’t say where most of it actually is either.

And by "reveals", the OP means "claims".
 
Why did Trump not audit the DOD?
I remember before the 2016 election there were things said that Trump would still have to accept people who were of the swamp, or he really would have had a more difficult time if elected. Why don't these things like audits happen with either party?
 
Not one lib here can explain why Dems in DC are so dead set against any auditing of the money and equipment that is supposedly going to Ukraine. Yet they also can’t say where most of it actually is either.

You assume all "liberals" in this sense support the Democrats. Unfortunately that is how people have been taught to think.

While I suppose in this sense one could consider me "liberal" I have been against all our stupid wars and stupid war spending and I have never voted in or supported a (D) president.
 
In our country the 'Left' demands more censorship
Media doesn't protect leakers, they hunt them for authorities
Corporations have merged with the Gov't
CIA is on TV giving us the 'News'
We are normalizing Political Prosecutions
Journalists are jailed for reporting war crimes

What else I forgot?

Seymour Hersh is old and no longer in the loop.
 
Also involves a government where the Pentagon failed audits multiple times.
