Biden has been leading the Democratic field. The central case for his candidacy rests on the supposedly exemplary work he did as a senior member of Team Obama. Well, in 2016, acting as the Obama administrations point man in Ukraine, the vice president unlike Trump openly threatened to withhold $1 billion in American loan guarantees if the embattled nation didnt fire the countrys top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin.
As Biden later bragged, I looked at them and said, Im leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, youre not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. He got fired. Most of the media assure us that, though by the Democrats new standards this kind of intimidation constitutes a flagrant abuse of power, Bidens reasons for threatening Ukraine were chaste.
But simply repeating this talking point doesnt make it true. Granted, Shokin was a shady character. Yet at some point he had been investigating Burisma, the largest gas company in Ukraine, which also happened to be paying Hunter Biden a $50,000 monthly salary as a board member.
By coincidence, Hunter had landed this cushy gig in a foreign country only a few months after the Obama administration began dispatching his father, Joe, to the very same foreign country on a regular basis.
