In Case You Missed It: Intercepts of Foreign Parties Revealed Ukraine's Plot to Take US Taxpayer Dollars Given To Them By Biden to Illegally Contribute to Biden's Reelection Effort

I posted this briefly yesterday before I realized CBD had just posted about the same topic.

Before that:

BREAKING: DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin has just BEGUN the process of paying some 50,000 THOUSAND TSA agents at President Trump's orders
Pay is set to hit as early as Monday
Posted by: JackStraw at March 27, 2026

The basic story has been reported, and some of this has been hinted at in TV interviews, but this report by Jonathan Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy formalizes those hints and advances the story.

U.S. intercepted Ukraine government messages discussing plot to route money to Biden re-election
Newly-unclassified documents show that in 2022 Ukrainian officials discussed diverting hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars -- earmarked for clean energy -- back to Biden's ill-fated 2024 campaign. There is no evidence the intercepted allegations were investigated during the Biden administration.

There's also no evidence that the formally crazy-about-foreign-interference propaganda media has reported any of this.

It's almost as if they actively support foreign election interference, so long as it benefits their precious Communist "Democrat" Party.

U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications discussing a plot to route hundreds of millions of American tax dollars earmarked for clean energy in the war-torn country and move them to the United States to enrich then-President Joe Biden's 2024 re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to a declassified intelligence report summarizing the intercepts that was obtained by Just the News.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently learned of the intercepts and has asked the U.S. Agency for International Development officials to scour for records to see if the plot actually was carried out and whether a criminal referral should be made to the FBI.
Gabbard's team has not found substantive evidence the intercepted allegations were thoroughly investigated during the Biden administration, and the communications are not believed to be tied to Russian disinformation efforts, officials said.
The declassified report is a summary of raw intercepts from U.S. spy agencies in late 2022 concerning the alleged plot, and officials who have reviewed the files said there seemed to be a lack of curiosity to investigate such an explosive allegation of foreign interference in a U.S. election.

It actually gets worse in the next paragraph: US government personnel were personally involved in the conspiracy.

"The Ukrainian Government and unspecified U.S. Government personnel, through USAID in Kyiv, reportedly developed a plan that would provide hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund an infrastructure project for Ukraine that would be used as a cover to send approximately 90% of funds allocated to the DNC to fund Joe Biden's reelection campaign," the declassified summary of the intercepts stated.
"They were confident the project would be funded initially, even though at some time in the future the project would be disapproved as unnecessary. At this time, the money would already be allocated and impossible to return or use for a different purpose," the report added.
The intercepts mentioned two American subcontractors as possible recipients of the money that would eventually be moved to Democratic coffers, officials said. The names are included in still classified raw spy data but were redacted from the declassified report obtained by Just the News.
"The plan included details of how subcontractors would be funded through U.S. companies so that how the funds were spent and allocated would be difficult to track," the declassified summary stated. "Additionally, contracts would be executed that would be difficult to verify. In this manner, most of the U.S. funding would be diverted to Joe Biden's election campaign without the ability to track where exactly the funds came from."

100 billion will be spent on Green initiatives.

Germany's trains are supposed to get 19 billion out of the 40 billion allocated for this year.

Sounds impressive, 19 billion Euros doesn't it? Except the German government has cut out 14 billion Euros from the train budget. So, the real increase is ONLY 5 billion Euros.

The question must be asked, where will that 14 billion be spent?

Do we know if this actually happened yet? I can totally see Ukraine coming up with this plan but someone in Biden's admin saying "Uh, if Trump wins we are all in Gitmo. This is too far, even for us!" and saying no.

At least until Kamala took over... she's probably too stupid to see anything other than "Free money! Surely no strings attached!"

So what should she do when discovering a plot to take aide sent to Ukraine and funnel it back to Democrat politicians? It's not like she is the only person in her office and they can't do more than one thing at a time.

173 Whig recently revealed he went to a college in my hometown of Quincy. But he has too much government experience to be VDH. Our hometown paper is The Quincy Herald-Whig.

idk much about the history of the whigs ... readily available history, just need to take some time to read up on it.

175 I bought one a few years ago when my 'walking around' tablet's battery swole up and broke it. It works fine for connecting up generally in my experience.

One of my 'alarm' tablets is busting wide open. I probably will be getting a new one for that purpose.

I recommend it.

I got my mom a Fire a decade or so ago.
She used that one for a few years and I got her a second upgraded one that she used for years before she died.

She read a bunch of novels on it, did her shopping on it, played Candy Crush and the like, and watched streaming video on it and loved it. She never picked up another paperback book after she got hers.

They are perfect for people who just want it for those types of things.

When the Federalist party died out early in the 19th century an opposing party was needed, but it was more a "Not a Democrat" party than a real political party. This especially became true as sectional issues and anti slavery grew, as Northern Whigs were anti Democrat on slavery and Southern Whigs were anti Democrat because they were too soft on defending slavery. This split made it harder to keep going and it died out in the early 1850s and the Republicans soon formed around its fragments in the north.

193 Newly-unclassified documents show that in 2022 Ukrainian officials discussed diverting hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars -- earmarked for clean energy -- back to Biden's ill-fated 2024 campaign.

No, I think it means that tax money for "clean energy" was sent to a USAID group that would divert it to Ukraine, who would send most of it back as contributions to Biden's campaign. Of course plenty of money stuck to all involved along the way

Right. 'Round the world. But I wonder why route it through Ukraine? You're already sending money earmarked for one group on to another -- just send it straight to Joe.

90 percent of the reason for most things the last 10 years or so is routing money into and out of Ukraine for all kinds of secret, not so secret and very nasty things. They needed to launder these contributions to avoid detecting where they came from. There are legal limits to how much a person in the US can donate.
