‘Our Work Has Been Effectively Stopped’: Top Ukrainian Anti-corruption Prosecutor Says That Even if Zelensky’s Backtrack Law Gets Approved, the Damage Is Done

Published

Head of SAPO Oleksandr Klymenko says that all their work has been compromised.

Here on TGP we are keeping a close look on the developments in Kiev regarding regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky’s power grab and dismantling of the Anti-Corruption agencies NABU e SAPO.

Street protests across the country and severe backlash from Western allies shook Bankova Street to the core.

While Zelensky eventually relented and presented new legislation undoing the previous contentious law, his ‘faux-pas’ has unleashed developments that would have been unthinkable just a couple of months ago.

To begin with, reinforcing previous reporting by Seymour Hersh, we learn that Russian Intel: US and UK Working to Oust Zelensky and Enthrone Zaluzhny – Ukrainian General Is Portrayed in the Pages of Vogue.

And even across the sea, we find out that European Union Suspends ALL Aid to Ukraine as Kiev Continues to Pressure the Anti-corruption Agencies.

And today, Ukraine’s top anti-corruption comes public in the western media to warn that the anti-corruption agencies are facing ‘more political pressure and smear campaigns’.

Zelensky: close aindes under investigation, protests in the streets, pressure from western ‘sponsors’.

Financial Times reported:

“Oleksandr Klymenko, head of Ukraine’s Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (Sapo), in an interview with the Financial Times, described recent moves against his agency as part of a ‘coordinated’ effort by senior government officials. The pressure culminated in Zelenskyy signing a law last week that placed Sapo and its law enforcement counterpart, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (Nabu), under executive control.”

Zelensky’s police gained access to all case files and disrupted the investigations.

“Even if parliament overturns the controversial law that MPs rammed through last week — a vote on a new bill restoring both Sapo and Nabu’s independence and endorsed by Zelenskyy is set for Thursday — Klymenko made clear that serious damage had already been done. He warned that the ‘lasting’ consequences of the assault could severely limit his office’s ability to function.

“’Our work has been effectively stopped’, he said. ‘Almost all of our whistleblowers stopped co-operating with us over fears that they could be exposed’, he added.”

But who is responsible? The ‘highest echelons of power’, he says, unwilling to name names at this critical juncture.

For those who understand, it’s Zelensky and his chief of the Presidential office, the ‘grey eminence’ Andriy Yermak.

Zelensky pledged to remedy the concerns about executive over-reach with his new bill.

“The outcome of Thursday’s vote is uncertain, with upwards of 70 lawmakers from Zelenskyy’s ruling party unsure of whether they will join others in approving it over fears of retribution.”

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

Published

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
