Copy video before YouTube takes it down!
But it’s okay because he was just telling tall tales like guys do sometimes.
Joe was acting like a MAFIA BOSS.....just like Schiff accused Trump of doing.
Personal gain is a much more impeachable offense Joe.
Where’s the ball less GOP putting these bastards in prison??
And now, EVERYTHING the Democrats do and say regarding this sham against Trump will be the appearance of covering for Biden. They are in a real box.
bttt
Rush will probably play this today if he hasn’t already.
Former Vice President Joe Biden just casually dropped a bombshell admission that he personally and directly intervened in Ukraines governance, boasting on stage during an event hosted by the US Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) that he got a high Kiev government official removed essentially at the snap of his fingers.
I looked at them and said: Im leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, youre not getting the money, Biden said at the CFR talk on Tuesday (a follow-up to prior admissions revealing that the US actively asserted behind the scenes control of Ukraines new government, to the point that US officials even dictated who would occupy high offices in the war-torn country).
Biden confirmed what was only previously hinted at through an anonymous senior official who spoke to The New Yorker in 2016. It was revealed then that Ukraines Prosecutor General (the equivalent office to the US Attorney General), was removed only after the Obama administration threatened to withhold 1$ billion in loan guarantees.
The prosecutor general at the time, Viktor Shokin, was previously supported by the US and much of the EU, but as The New Yorker described, after initially supporting Shokin, U.S. and E.U. officials soured on him. Washington suddenly viewed Shokin, who had served two decades within the Prosecutor Generals office as corrupt and unwilling to initiate crackdown in major financial scandal cases involving high profile figures.
Ukraines chief prosecutor serves a term of six years and can only be appointed and dismissed by the president with parliamentary consent; however in the case of Shokin, Joe Biden boasted before the CFR audience that he told Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and former Ukrainian prime minister Arseny Yatsenyuk sometime in late March 2016, Im telling you, youre not getting the billion dollars, unless they immediately sacked Shokin. To the glee of his CFR listeners who laughed audibly, Biden added, Well, son of a bitch. He got fired!
Indeed the threat of withholding what had been the third installment of a massive loan package desperately needed to help prop up the new pro-EU/US Kiev government resulted in Viktor Shokin being hastily removed from his post by Ukrainian parliament on March 29, 2016 within the very month Biden made the ultimatum (Shokin had initially promised he would willingly resign in a February letter, but resumed his work through March). Poroshenko then officially and formally dismissed Shokin on April 3, 2016.
But it appears that it was somewhat of an open secret as Shokin became widely referred to among Ukrainians as the billion-dollar man. It was also a time in which Biden and other US officials were constantly in direct communication with President Poroshenko, talking foreign aid and loan packages, and presumably according to Bidens latest admission, how he should run his government.
Biden had previously disclosed in his personal memoirs that he had been on the phone with either Poroshenko or Yatsenyuk, or both, almost every week for months attempting to guide nearly every major decision of the Poroshenko administration after the overthrow of Viktor Yanukovych in the 2014 coup détat which inaugurated the Ukraine crisis.
As a reminder, in 2014 not long after Ukraines US-endorsed and facilitated presidential coup Joes son Hunter joined the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, the largest private gas producers in Ukraine, incorporated in Cyprus, a European tax haven.
Elsewhere in the talk, Biden revealed that the Obama White House spent so much time on the phone making sure that everyone from [former French president Francois] Hollande to [former Italian prime minister Matteo] Renzi wouldnt walk away from anti-Russian sanctions.
==============================
We certainly hope that Biden continues to open his infamously big mouth as he will only further confirm that the US version of events whether in Ukraine, Syria, or other parts of the world championed by political figures who happen to take their dictates from Washington, etc
) is nowhere close to the reality. * * *
The one I had has been taken down. Guess the thugs in the democrat party and their butt boys in Silicon Valley don’t want the truth to get out...

Yeah, I heard it yesterday. Similar to ‘locker room talk’ so that the speaker can look like a bad ass dude. You know that’s how they’ll spin it. As for the transcript? Already “Not the REAL transcript!” being floated by schiff-4-brains or some other UPOS on the demokkkommie assault team.
