Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived
the hile ^ | 4/19/2019 | john solomon

Posted on 09/21/2019 6:41:04 AM PDT by RummyChick

Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.

In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.

Apparently, all the debunked articles and tweets right now are stemming from the idea there is no proof that Joe intervened

Now THAT is a true quid pro quo, trading on his government position to enrich his family, and he was stupid enough to brag about it in front of cameras! This is not the kind of dummy we can afford as President.

Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation to brag to a foreign policy specialists' audience
how, as vice president, he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden's business dealings.

Biden was exceptionally proud of that incident. And dont forget....those were the heady days when Hillary was a shoo-in,
when Obama was fixing the race to get Hillary elected so she could sweep all of his and the Democrats' criminal wrong-doing
under the Oval Office rug.

It doesn’t matter...there is no justice meted out at that level. Barr is undefined at this point and Wray is useless.

Lutsenko told Solomon that he “discovered members of the Board obtained funds as well as another U.S.-based legal entity, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, for consulting services.”

He also said he would like to show some of the evidence to US Attorney General William Barr, “particularly the vice president’s intervention.” He added, “Unfortunately, Mr. Biden had correlated and connected this aid with some of the HR (personnel) issues and changes in the prosecutor’s office.”

Former Ukrainian Prosecutor: ‘No Doubt’ Joe Biden Forced Me Out to Protect Hunter Biden!

A former Ukrainian prosecutor general is speaking out after Vice President Joe Biden forced him out of his job. Speaking to ABC News, former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin said he has “no doubt” Biden wanted him gone to help protect Hunter Biden’s employer.

At the time, Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings while Biden’s son Hunter was on the board earning as much as $50,000 a month.

“Biden was acting not like a U.S. vice president, but as an individual,” he said to ABC News, “like the individual interested in having me removed — having me gone so that I did not interfere in the Burisma investigation.”
