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 Ukraine sanctions do indeed seem to indicate the report "1b" was delivered and acted upon on Jan 11th. Even though the Ukraine sanctions were against the so-called "good guys" who released the Biden video, there could be other sanctions which were not announced publicly. Is it possible the Ukraine sanctions were announced to signal the report (1b) had been received and was being acted upon?
