Recent interviews with senior sources on Capitol Hill and newly acquired documents show that Ukraine was and continues to be central to the effort to take down Trump.
As Clinton operatives used Ukraine to falsely smear Trump, Manafort's ties to that country threw the Trump campaign into disarray.
Two years later, in August 2018, Manafort pleaded guilty to tax and bank fraud connected to his work in the Ukraine undertaken years before he joined the Trump campaign.
The British spy's unnamed sources changed their story, contending that the Trump adviser had been offered a bribe if he convinced Trump to drop Ukraine-related sanctions.
The second article claimed that Trump had softened his support for Ukraine after Page and Manafort joined the campaign.
Now the connections between Trump and the Russians were lit up like a string of holiday lights - Obama had sanctioned the GRU because of the DNC hack, which the Russians engineered on behalf of the Trump campaign in exchange for sidelining Ukraine as a campaign issue.
The main charge in the whistleblower's complaint - that Trump solicited "Interference from a foreign country in the 2020 election" - echoes the title of the Mueller report, "Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election." The whistleblower's thesis is identical to the dossier's: Trump sought dirt on a political rival regarding Ukraine-related issues on a quid pro quo basis.
