You could do your own research, instead of continuing to ask others to prove, or disprove, something for you. Now, here you are pointing to that old Politico report, without any effort at all, on your part, to ascertain the truth.

The original report about the Ukrainian American working for the DNC has been rejected by the very news organization that published it.
- Some Congressional Republicans continue to point to an outdated January 2017 Politicostory that said former DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa “conspired with Ukrainian officials during the 2016 election to dig up dirt on Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.” In a 2017 interview with Politico, Chalupa described communicating with the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States about her concerns regarding Manafort’s many connections to Ukraine and Russia.
- Chalupa has since clarified to both CNN and Politico that the Ukrainian Embassy did not provide any documents to her during this effort and that she was not conducting this work on behalf of the DNC, stating, “During the 2016 US election, I was a part-time consultant for the DNC running an ethnic engagement program. I was not an opposition researcher for the DNC, and the DNC never asked me to go to the Ukrainian Embassy to collect information.” The DNC has also stated that Chalupa was not conducting research into Manafort on its behalf.
- As The Washington Post has noted, “Politico implicitly contradicted its own 2017 story by reporting … that ‘no evidence has emerged to support’ the idea of a Ukrainian campaign.” Politico has also since stated that the original article “did not state that the Ukrainian government conspired with the Clinton campaign or the DNC.”
- CNN fact-checkers found that House minority members’ claims that Chalupa “worked with Ukrainian embassy officials to spread dirt on the Trump Campaign” are entirely baseless.
In the second half of her opening statement Thursday, Ms. Hill took to task those harping on this asinine Ukraine conspiracy theory. The Republicans, and Trump defenders, including some on this forum, are supporting Russian aims against the United States. Supporting the Ukraine conspiracy BS is the same thing as supporting Russian active measures against our country. Anybody doing this should be ashamed of themselves, IMO. As Fiona Hill points out in the second half of this short statement, this Ukraine theory originated with the Russian services. How can Republicans and Trump supporters bend over backwards to actually help our number 1 geopolitical adversary of the past 70 years?
Fiona Hill is the best:
