How much did Paul Pelosi get? Trump’s counterattack will be devastating.
The big picture is that over $6BILLION was laundered thru Ukraine/Burisma and Barack's hands are all over it.
Here's a clip from the Reuters piece:
After he took office in late August, Ryaboshapka launched a wide-ranging audit of criminal cases to see whether they had been conducted properly. Thirteen of them relate to Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, Ryaboshapka told reporters at a briefing on Wednesday.
Burisma did not respond to a request for comment.
Ryaboshapkas predecessors oversaw a series of investigations into Zlochevsky, a multimillionaire former minister of ecology and natural resources. The allegations concern tax violations, money-laundering and licences given to Burisma during the period where Zlochevsky was a minister.
Ryaboshapka said Zlochevsky was now suspected of the theft of government funds on an especially large scale, but did not provide evidence or details.
Ryaboshapka was speaking after being asked about a document from the general prosecutors office that was leaked at a separate press conference by three lawmakers earlier on Wednesday.
The document, only part of which was visible, showed Kulyk suspected Zlochevsky of offenses including using his official position to embezzle 800 million hryvnias ($33 million) of money belonging to the central bank.
The investigation is effectively on hold, however, because the Ukrainian authorities cannot determine Zlochevskys whereabouts.
The central bank did not respond to a request for comment.
Giuliani has previously told Reuters he met Kulyk in Paris. He said at that meeting Kulyk echoed allegations that in 2016 Joe Biden as Vice President had tried to have Ukraines then-chief prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, fired to stop him investigating Burisma. Biden has accused Giuliani of peddling false, debunked conspiracy theories for repeating these allegations.
Kulyk told Reuters in October that he had been investigating Zlochevsky for around two years.
Reuters could not independently verify the extent of Kulyks involvement, but a source close to the energy company saw a spike in activity by Kulyk in regards to Burisma after Giulianis interest in the company and the Bidens had been conveyed to Kulyks then superior, Yuriy Lutsenko.
In late January, Kulyk sent Zlochevsky the first of several summons for questioning, documents seen by Reuters showed.
Zlochevsky has not commented on the summons or an announcement by Ryaboshapka in October that his office was reviewing a series of investigations linked to Zlochevsky.
Maybe Ukraine will indict the Bidens. That would be sweet. Perhaps by treaty Trump may have to honor a request for extradition. That would be sweeter. Biden could then run for President from a jail cell in Ukraine. He’d still get 47% of the vote. I imagine Romney would still vote for Biden.
If only Burisma would sue them for not ever showing up for work.
I’m wondering how many Republicans are doing it. The reason I ask? Not a single indictment...a investigation into any of these people, no warrants, no raids by FBI, etc. Nothing.
Adam Schiff is doing all he can to protect, "the whistleblower"!
Cannot for the life of me figure out why the Republican members of this impeachment committee don’t mention this more often.
To my mind, it would look bad if Trump did NOT investigate Burisma and the Bidens!!
Trump and Barr are over the target. And that rich fraud- and corruption-riden target is Ukraine.
The Ukraine government indicting the Burisma leader is tip of the iceberg.
Nice scuplture
Something that many are missing from this Ukrain indictment of the Burisma founder, is Pres. Trump simply asked the Uraine President on the "infamous" phone call to look into its own corruption. Obviously, a win for Trump!
Nah, the child already has a job.
I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the GOP are on the take either.
Why doesn’t that come up in the sham Q&A?
Romney has ties to Ukraine too. Mitt might not get an absentee ballot sent to the Ukraine at his prison address.
I am sure AG Barr and President Trump will support extradition of the Washington DC/Ukraine swamp rats like Pelosi, Kerry, Biden, Clinton...
The who's who in the DNC. I bet even lowlies like Donna Brazile are having trouble getting a restful night's sleep. I bet even Paul Ryan is seeing things in his sleep as the truth finally sees the light of day.
The others’ fathers aren’t running for POTUS...................
Romney is in this mess as well...................
