The orchestration also appears to go back even further. According to former Ukrainian diplomat Andrii Telizhenko, who spoke exclusively to me about the latest Ohr revelations, the operation began with a January 19, 2016 meeting at the White House.Telizhenko, who attended the meeting as part of the Ukrainian delegation, said President Obama National Security Council official Liz Zentos, FBI agent Karen Greenaway, and impeachment whistleblower Eric Ciaramella led the U.S. side. According to Telizhenko, the goal of the meeting was to encourage Ukrainian prosecutors to dig up dirt on Manafort.This timeline suggests the release of the black ledger wasn’t just a Ukrainian affair. It was a coordinated political hit, initiated by U.S. officials and, as the Nellie Ohr documents indicate, likely assisted from the start by Clinton campaign operatives.After Trump’s election, Telizhenko became a key witness in the Senate’s Biden-Ukraine investigation, led by Sens. Grassley and Ron Johnson. For his efforts, Telizhenko was sanctioned by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for allegedly spreading “false claims” about Ukrainian corruption. But we now know there was real corruption and it may have run straight through the Clinton campaign’s Ukraine operation.https://thefederalist.com/2025/06/06/ohr-memo-confirms-clinton-team-had-early-knowledge-of-ukrainian-black-ledger/
