Kulyk legally entered the U.S. in late 2023 along with his wife, 38, and daughter, who’s now 5. The family was sponsored by U.S. citizens as part of the Uniting 4 Ukraine program, a humanitarian program set up in April 2022 to allow Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s war to live and work in the U.S. on “parole.”
Once the initial two-year parole period expires, entrants can file for re-parole to remain in the country longer. That’s exactly what Kulyk says he did. His wife and daughter’s applications were approved. But his remained pending.
He said he was putting groceries in his car on Jan. 1 when he was approached by three ICE agents.
“I explained to the ICE officers that the war was killing people, that my wife had a disability, that it was violence, terrorism which we had escaped from but one of them began to laugh,” Kulyk told The Daily Beast. “I asked why he was laughing and I was told that he was pro-Russian, wanted Russia to win the war.”
Did you miss the weird “blowing Bubba” comments in the files?
Because I didnt.
The subtlety of context in this case was missed by anyone who believed that comment was literal.
The comment was in email by Epstein’s brother, who hated tRump.
He was aware that Clinton and Epstein were acquaintances (plausible) or it was a reference to the name of Gislain’s horse (more likely).
He likely knew, or it had been alluded to, of Epstein (or someone) having damning evidence of tRump improprieties of sexually explicit, and potentially embarrassing, blackmail material.
Reading that email, with the context, made it sound much less like a literal, factual statement and more an insulting joke about the proclivities of a serial liar and suspected/known sexual deviant. Learning of the horse’s name, as well, afforded further credence to it being an insult about tRump and the horse, than about tRump and Bill Clinton.
I think Bubba was a horse though so not the same as a man
Bubba was Bill Clinton’s nickname, and also the name of Ghislaine Maxwell’s horse. You pick which would be easier to co troll him with.
