On January 11th 2020, Secretary of State Pompeo released a press statement imposing sanctions on seven individuals and four entities that were part of a Russia (Russia Russia)-linked foreign influence network for meddling in our election.
"Today, the United States is imposing sanctions on seven individuals and four entities that are part of a Russia-linked foreign influence network associated with Andrii Derkach, who was designated on September 10, 2020, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13848 for his attempt to influence the 2020 U.S. Presidential election. Derkach, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, has been an active Russian agent for more than a decade, maintaining close connections with Russian intelligence services."
The very next day, the National Guard was deployed to D.C. to stop the "most violent insurrectionists in the history of the world".

Or, maybe for some other purpose considering they are still there more than a month after the "inauguration" in anticipation of “civil disturbance” throughout the nation’s capital.

So what's the punch line?
Have you found a direct link between Derkach, Ukraine and the NG in DC?
Any clue why the NG is really there?
People have been questioning whether the EO was ever used. I found the statement by Pompeo and I found the timing to be interesting compared to the NG deployment.
I do remember Xiden having some interesting ties to Ukraine. I'm not sure if Derkach and Biden can be directly connected. Since 2012 he has been a member of the Budget Committee of the Ukrainian Parliament and in March of 2016 Biden was withholding funding to Ukraine to get investigators fired. From 2002 to 2006, he served as Deputy Chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament Committee on Fuel and Energy.
It was used but not in a good way

They involved several other government officials in the Secretary's statement.
"Former Ukraine Government officials Konstantin Kulyk, Oleksandr Onyshchenko, Andriy Telizhenko, and current member of the Ukrainian parliament Oleksandr Dubinsky"
And holy crap, it sounds like they were all good guys. Every one of them listed was trying to provide evidence against Hunter and Xiden.
I remember hearing this back then! That doesn't look good.
