Two Republican senators sent a request Thursday to the State Department asking to meet with key State Department employees for an investigation into Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy firm that once employed Hunter Biden on its board.

The letter from Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, and Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Finance Committee, shows they want to seek interviews and documents specific to the dismissal of Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

Shokin, who was dismissed in March 2016 after about a year in office by then-President Petro Poroshenko, claims he was ousted because he wanted to investigate the lucrative role Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, had on Burisma's board from 2014 to 2019.

Johnson and Grassley, who sent their letter after the elder Biden became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, requested interviews with U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia Bridgett Brink and U.S. Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt, who used to be the ambassador to Ukraine. The senators also want to talk to Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent and State Department official Elizabeth Zentos.

Forget about this guy? He was appointed the same week Jensen was. Both have been quietly working away, doing real, non compromised DOJ work. If you watched Rudy’s pod casts, there’s a treasure trove of Ukrainian/dem garbage that the DS state department has still successfully covered up. My hope is that Brady will expand his investigation from just Ukrainian/dem corruption into dem impeachment corruption too. Forget the senate, the real investigation will come from Brady.

Request? My Aunt Tilly’s rear end. Send over 5-10 of those “99% of FBI agents are good people” to confiscate the documents. Can’t find any? A squad of Marines should do the job.
