Ten years ago, I was one of the only journalists in America willing to ask a simple question: was the black ledger fabricated?
On August 18, 2016, I published a piece in the Washington Times — “New York Times Evidence Against Trump Advisor Paul Manafort May Not Stand Up In Court“ — examining the “black ledger” that had supposedly surfaced in Ukraine, showing off-the-books cash payments to Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. The story hit like a bomb. Manafort resigned two days later. The Russia collusion narrative was off and running.
I wasn’t buying it.
What I reported then — and what the mainstream media spent years ridiculing — is now confirmed. Special prosecutor Joe diGenova’s team has obtained bombshell new evidence, confirmed this week by Paul Sperry, that the 2016 election was interfered with not by Russia, but by Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
The evidence:
• Ukrainian officials leaked false Manafort financial records to influence the election
• A Ukrainian MP has testified on tape: “I have a tape of these law-enforcement officials saying they did it — they attempted to overthrow the United States government on behalf of Hillary Clinton in 2016”
• Ukraine’s own General Prosecutor stated there was enough evidence to open a criminal investigation
• DiGenova has onboarded a dedicated federal investigator focused solely on Ukraine
The black ledger wasn’t a discovery. It was a fabrication — an intelligence operation, laundered through the New York Times.
The Day After I Published, The UK Trail Emerged
The day after my 2016 WT piece ran, reporting began to surface that British intelligence fingerprints were on the operation. I wrote about this dynamic again just yesterday — “The Mockingbird Media Has Simply Shifted To Podcast World“ — documenting how the same coordinated narrative infrastructure never disappeared. It just moved platforms. Same hands. Same agenda. New microphones.
The UK’s refusal to participate in the current Iran campaign is not coincidental. It is consistent with a decade-long pattern of the City of London working to frustrate American national sovereignty under Trump.
What DiGenova’s Investigation Means
Joe diGenova is a former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. He prosecuted spies. When he says his team has bombshell evidence, that is a predicate — not a rumor.
The Russia collusion hoax paralyzed the first Trump term for three years, destroyed Paul Manafort, and provided cover for the actual foreign interference by Ukraine and the UK. The reckoning, when it comes, will be one of the greatest political scandals in American history.
I reported on it in 2016. Not many others did.
