Biden Gets Devastating Setback To 2020 Run

Posted on 05/23/2020 10:25:08 AM PDT by yoe

[snip]"You may remember Biden bragging to a group of people in 2018 about threating Ukrainian president Poroshenko to get Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin fired over his investigation into Burisma, a company which Hunter Biden, Joe’s son, sat on the board of."

"These disturbing recordings reveal just how corrupt these Biden threats were. This clip specifically dated February 18, 2016, is Poroshenko talking to Biden:"

“I have some positive and negative news. I will start with positive news. … Yesterday, I met with the General Prosecutor Shokin. And despite the fact that we didn’t have any corruption charges, we don’t have any information about him doing something wrong, I specifically asked him – no, it was a day before yesterday – I specifically asked him to resign … as his position as a state person. And despite of the fact that he has a support in the power and as a finish of meeting with him, he promised me to give me the statement on resignation. And one hour ago he bring me the written statement of his resignation. And this is my second step for keeping my promises.”

[snip]"BIDEN: Well you are doing very well, congratulations on getting the new Prosecutor General. I know there is a lot more that has to be done, but I really, I really think that’s, I think that’s good. And I understand your working with Rada in the coming days on a number of additional laws to secure the IMF. But congratulations on installing the new Prosecutor General, it’s going to be critical for him to work quickly to repair the damage Shokin did. And I’m a man of my word and now that the new Prosecutor General is in place, we’re ready to forward to signing that new $1 billion loan guarantee. And I don’t know how you want to go about that. I’m not going to be able to get to Kyiv anytime soon, I mean, next month or so. And, and I don’t know whether you could either sign it with our ambassador or if you came here, we could sign or if you want, we’re inviting Groysman here later. I’m going to be talking to him later this morning, not for that purpose, we’re inviting him to Washington and so I’ll leave it up to you as to how you want that done and when you want it done."

POROSHENKO: First of all, thank you very much indeed for these words of support. Believe me, that it was a very tough challenge and a very difficult job and Mrs. Tymoshenko and Mr. Lyashko fraction tried to break this because we not only voted for the new Prosecutor General, which we do in a very short period of time, within one day we changed the law. By the way, in this law we are presenting the set, the new structure of the General Prosecutor’s Office, including the General Inspection as we agreed with you. And the second thing, I........"

Biden is really dirty....

The worst. They’d better investigate him quickly. Eventually he will LITERALLY not remember any of this. He is a sick man. I blame his wife for allowing him to humiliate himself everyday. The Dems don’t care. They want him to make it to the convention and then they can do anything they want.

Why, that almost sounds like a quid-pro-quo.

FRiends, your thoughts please. I think something important is being missed here because we’ve forgotten that Biden is a braggarts, but lies about the things he brags about:

The famous shakedown story he told in public appears to be false. He told how a visit to Ukraine was going to end in a few hours, and he told them that the prosecutor needed to fired before he left the country or they wouldn’t get the loan guarantee. Bongino said the other day that Biden was in Ukraine in December 2015 and again in September 2016. Not in February when the shakedown occurred per this phone call. Do you guys think I’m reading this right?

This means nothing. Barr already said the previous presidents, and I assume vice presidents, are off limits.

Biden has NOTHING to worry about and I doubt that he is worrying.

Trump is soft on crime.

-——They’d better investigate him quickly.——

I will suggest they already have.

President trump appointed a special envoy to go to Ukraine. The media refers to him as the President’s Lawyer but he is actually a special envoy direct from the White House to Ukraine. He went to Ukraine and got all the goods, the evidence.

The Special Presidential Envoy’s name is Rudy Giuliani

“Trump will wish he’d done something after evil Maxine has the southern district of NY prosecute him and his kids.”

Without a doubt. Once he leaves office, he is toast. They will hound him and his family until they die.

Nice try dimwit.

Trump doesn't arrest, prosecute, do raids indict etc.

He's not a police officer, judge, Sheriff, lawyer

He's not a King or a dictator.

You obviously would have preferred Hillary and now Biden. Maybe even Jeb or Romney, anyone as long as it isn't Trump?

There is a Ukrainian Catholic Church in my neighborhood - I will have to ask the people if they are voting for Biden.

They sell Pyrohy every Friday -$12 / a dozen.
