Surprise! Adam Schiff Staffer Met With "Impeachment Witness"

It's almost as if there's some shadow state deep inside the American government which has decided it, and not the elected president or the citizens who elected him and gave the government legitimacy, will be in charge of policy, foreign and domestic, and that policy will be standard corporate Democrat policy, and anything else is illegal.

Itinerary for a trip to Ukraine in August organized by the Atlantic Council think tank reveals that a staffer on Rep. Adam Schiff’s House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence held a meeting during the trip with acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor, now a key witness for Democrats pursuing impeachment. The Atlantic Council is funded by and works in partnership with Burisma, the natural gas company at the center of allegations regarding Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.

Taylor has been called by House Democrats to appear next week to provide a deposition as part of the investigation being led by Schiff into President Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Interesting thread about the connections between the Atlantic Council, the fake Fusion dossier, and Bill Kristol's sugar daddy Pierre Omidyar here.

More: Max Blumenthal -- yes, son of Sidney, and a generally a leftwing brat -- reports that the Atlantic Council has been raking in big money from Hunter Biden's corrupt employer Burisma.

With its relentless focus on corruption in Russia and Ukraine, the Atlantic Council has distinguished itself from other top-flight think tanks in Washington. Over the past several years, it has held innumerable conferences and panel discussions, issued a string of reports, and published literally hundreds of essays on Russia’s "kleptocracy" and the scourge of Kremlin disinformation.

At the same time, this institution has posed as a faithful partner to Ukraine's imperiled democracy, organizing countless programs on the urgency of economic reforms to tamp down on corruption in the country.

But behind the curtain, the Atlantic Council has initiated a lucrative relationship with a corruption-tainted Ukrainian gas company, the Burisma Group, that is worth as much as $250,000 a year. The partnership has paid for lavish conferences in Monaco and helped bring Burisma’s oligarchic founder out of the cold.
