Democrat Business as Usual?
[GatewayPundit] Former Polish Minister: At Least Half of US Aid Was Laundered by Ukrainians and Much Was Given to Democrats

Former Polish Minister Piotr Kulpa says up to half of the US aid to Ukraine was laundered by Ukrainians, and much was given to US Democrats.

Maybe that’s why the Democrat lawmakers were waving Ukrainian flags on the House floor?

In March 2022, the wife of former Ukrainian MP Ihor Kotvitskyi declared 28 million dollars and 1.3 million euros when entering Hungary.

And, she’s not the only one.

Another Ukrainian diplomat tried to flee Ukraine with 68,000€, $140,000, 12kg gold, 13.8kg gold jewelry and a large number of cigarettes.

Your tax dollars at work — making corrupt Ukrainian politicians rich.

Now even foreign diplomats are speaking out against the money laundering.

Via Azerbaycan24:

Kiev laundered money for the Democrats, taking a cut of what was left over, Piotr Kulpa has claimed.

Ukraine did not receive as much foreign aid as claimed by the administration of US President Joe Biden, and whatever help it did get was largely embezzled, a former Polish deputy minister has claimed. Up to a half of the funds that reached Kiev was stolen by Ukrainian officials, Piotr Kulpa has alleged.

The political commentator previously held several posts in the Polish government, serving as deputy labor minister in the mid-2000s, and is currently a regular contributor on Ukrainian online shows. Kulpa is a vocal supporter of US President-elect Donald Trump, as evidenced by his remarks to Ukrainian journalist Lana Shevchuk on Thursday.

“Everyone understands that war-related corruption is linked not only with Ukraine, but also the supplier nation,” he said. “Who would ever believe that the US burned through $2 trillion in Afghanistan? It’s delusional!”

US aid programs are a mechanism to “write off large sums of money that finance shady systems under the Democratic Party’s control,” he alleged. The incoming Trump administration could review government finances and discover the truth that “Ukraine got very little” compared to the amounts mentioned in public statements, Kulpa claimed…

…If Kiev were to recover all the embezzled money for the Ukrainian budget, the country would have enough for a year, Kulpa said.

#1 The Democrat Party has evolved into a money laundering operation. The GOP tries to, but they get cut out of the best deals. Both of them used to try to achieve political goals, but now it's just about the benjamins.

#2 Can it be proved? Do we have the will to address it?

#3 ^^^^^
The will is the real question, my guess is the rot is very widespread, not Mexico deep, but heading that way in time.
