It's the way Washington "works." Back on September 29, 2019, we discussed Shifty Adam's Ukraine Connection--and that connection is Ukrainian arms dealer Igor Pasternak:
The whole Russia hysteria seems inexplicable in realistic terms--there doesn't seem to be a convincing reason for the outlandish fear mongering with regard to Russia. Now we may have a partial answer.
You may have seen some of the stories that have been starting to circulate about Adam Schiff's connection to Ukrainian arms dealer Igor Pasternak. It seems that Pasternak has hosted campaign fundraisers for Schiff ...
And anywhere there's a connection between Ukraine and left wing politics, George Soros can't be far away ...

Stop me if this sounds too "conspiratorial," but ...
Ukraine is in conflict with Russia, so they want US help. US help can be obtained--for a price! That price can be paid in the form of campaign contributions to US politicians, but it has to be done creatively. Say, in the form of hosted fundraisers by Ukrainian Americans. Alexandra Chalupa is ready to help! The industrious Yakov Apelbaum is happy to document that for you (How to Finance Your Congressional Campaign with Arms Sales).
