Solomon: These once-secret memos cast doubt on Joe Biden's Ukraine story
The Hill ^ | 9-26-19 | John Solomon

Posted on 09/26/2019 3:18:20 PM PDT by janetjanet998

.......Hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents – many from inside the American team helping Burisma to stave off its legal troubles – conflict with Biden’s narrative.

And they raise the troubling prospect that U.S. officials may have painted a false picture in Ukraine that helped ease Burisma’s legal troubles and stop prosecutors’ plans to interview Hunter Biden during the 2016 U.S. presidential election........

Biden’s story is that there was this Ukrainian prosecutor named POPCORNSKI and he was threatening Hunter Biden with a knife blade until Joe came around with some chain from the threads on his Russian T-34 tank that he had been driving around Kiev while checking out noise complaints at swimming pools in some of the Black Sea resorts. Biden said, “Look POPCORNSKI or whatever you name is, I don’t want any trouble here. Keep the noise down.” POPCORNSKI said, “Your son is a punk and a crook like Hillary. The whole world will now know!” And just as POPCORNSKI said that Joe got Obama who got Hillary who got the Ukrainian government to fire POPCORNSKI. And, as a sterling bonus, Hunter Biden lands a big cushy job being a lifeguard at a pool in the Black Sea for $500,000 a year and all the meth he can snort.

Oh, look at this! All of a sudden, it’s “American officials” that caused the problem. Just a bunch of officials, who happen to be of the American persuasion.

In a newly sworn affidavit prepared for a European court, Shokin testified that when he was fired in March 2016, he was told the reason was that Biden was unhappy about the Burisma investigation.

From this same The Hill piece by John Solomon:

“Joe Biden has since responded that he forced Shokin’s firing over concerns about corruption and ineptitude, which he claims were widely shared by Western allies, and that it had nothing to do with the Burisma investigation.

“Some of the new documents I obtained call that claim into question.

“In a newly sworn affidavit prepared for a European court, Shokin testified that when he was fired in March 2016, he was told the reason was that Biden was unhappy about the Burisma investigation. “The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm active in Ukraine and Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors,” Shokin testified.”

During the last presidential election I watched a bunch of local Bernie Botts switch to Trumpers after we spent time talking to them. Our booth was next to theirs at a town festival.

Nice, smart kids but had only heard Marxist propaganda. Once they heard the other side, the light bulbs came on!

Ukraine is going to work with the US to track millions laundered out of the country to Snortie Biden.

This is going to be great. The DNC Media can’t shut it down as they did earlier.

Gropey Joe is kaput, out by Thanksgiving or sooner.

The Greatest thing is:

IF OUR MEDIA HAD PAID ATTENTION...THEY COULD HAVE COLLECTED ALL THESE PAPERS AND DESTROYED THEM.

HEY, MEDIA, YOU ARE SUCH LOSERS, LOSERS, LOSERS!!

If Joe was/is still in ‘favor’, THEY would spin that the lapse in judgment was due to his age and brain surgeryS.

BUT, that was a weak moment and we are assured it will never happen again.....

Remember when mcCain ran against BO, every time he slurred his words or talked in ‘circles’ the press (that SUPPOSEDLY ‘loved’ McCain’) ran him from pillory to post about how his age and mental health may be impaired.

When BO did the same (when away from the teleprompter) ‘they’ just claimed he was tired and working so hard it was very understandable.

Are the Dems even defending Biden on this? From what I’ve heard it seems like they are just mad at Trump for looking into the issue.

very complicated and convoluted article, but the following does stand out:

“In a newly sworn affidavit prepared for a European court, Shokin testified that when he was fired in March 2016, he was told the reason was that Biden was unhappy about the Burisma investigation. “The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm active in Ukraine and Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors,” Shokin testified.”

However, Shokin has lots of reasons to be making self-serving statements like that, so it can’t be taken on face value alone ...

As far as I could tell, everything else in the article was merely suggestive of corruption, with nothing else but the above rising to the level of a smoking gun ... a bit disappointing, actually ...

As long as Dirty Joe is receiving top cover from his beltway friends in the GOP Senate he has no reason to withdraw. Graham punted yesterday, Burr is subservient to Warner as always, etc., etc. There is no indication that will change any time soon.
