Fired NY prosecutor was given Biden-Ukraine allegations in 2018 but didn’t follow up, emails show

Ukraine prosecutors didn't want the political spectacle that became impeachment and simply sought to turn over evidence about Joe Biden and election interference to U.S. prosecutors, memos show.

Could the impeachment scandal have been prevented if the now-fired U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman had followed up on Ukrainian allegations about Joe Biden and his family in 2018?

That’s the tantalizing question raised by emails from fall 2018 between an American lawyer and the chief federal prosecutor in Manhattan that were obtained by Just the News.

The memos show that well before Ukrainian prosecutors reached out to Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s lawyer, in 2019 to talk about the Bidens and alleged 2016 election interference they first approached Berman’s office in New York in October 2018 via another American lawyer.

The memos show Little Rock, Ark., lawyer Bud Cummins, a former U.S. attorney himself, reached out at least five times in October 2018 to Berman seeking to arrange a meeting with then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko.

Lutsenko, who emerged as a key figure in the impeachment scandal, wanted to confidentially share with federal prosecutors in New York evidence he claimed to possess that raised concerns about the Bidens’ behavior as well as alleged wrongdoing in the Paul Manafort corruption case.

f Biden declines then if I were Trump, I would have my own debate and he can show a video of Biden speaking for each question asked.....absolutely f*cking genius...the colorful language was added for emphasis. Biden is such a complete moron that his past statements will crush him. He’ll have to spend more hours than he can afford having to defend himself from his views on segregation, criminal justice reform, China, etc etc etc etc

Biden is going to damage himself but then again, there are so many stupid people who can’t see the writing on the wall regarding his health and other issues.....this election is all about them getting rid of the President and not caring about what comes next. Typical liberal logic...sling as much poop on the wall as you can and see what sticks. When that doesn’t work, blame the Republicans, make someone else clean it up and move on to the next wall.

So much is going to depend on who he picks for VP. Latest name I heard was some woman named, Bass. I believe she’s from California. As much as I’d love to see Bottoms get the nod, if I’m right about Bass, that would be a gift to President Trump.

Is the timing of this video release

and the Berman termination a coincidence?

You spelled “lawfully executed as an accessory after the fact to crimes against humanity” (distribution of poison from foreign sources) wrong again, didn’t you? ;-)

Interesting that Solomon is reissuing this report now. Here is an excerpt from his April 7, 2019 story for The Hill {Why Don't You Want Our Evidence?} in which he states:

One of those avenues involved reaching out last fall to a former federal prosecutor from the George W. Bush years, according to interviews. He delivered a written summary of some of the Ukrainian allegations to the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan, along with an offer to connect U.S. investigators with individuals purporting to have the evidence. There was no response or follow-up, according to multiple people directly familiar with the effort.

We will see if anything changes any time soon. {Goodbye, Joe, we hardly knew ye}
