Yes- why didn't a country that was known for corruption remove a corrupt prosecutor until it was forced to do so by pressure from the United States, the IMF, the EU and Ukrainian citizen groups?
Hard to say.......
If they're all corrupted, why would they remove him? They had that power, right?
But if they're all corrupted, why to demand removal of only one guy, that happens to investigate corruption, one that got him fired. Why stop there?
Because that guy was in charge of prosecuting corruption.
Look- there are literally hundreds of articles written on what happened- if you step away from Trump's tweets and Fox News you can probably find an accurate account of what happened.
You mean hundreds excuses for cover ups?
Let's say Shokin was corrupt, and was fired for being corrupt. Did corruption in Ukraine ended with his firing? No. the only thing that ended was official investigation into Burisma by Shokin's replacement.
Unless, guy wasn't corrupt, and was investigating something that money laundering machine wanted to keep going. Like paying Biden's son millions, or like not pursuing where money from aid was gone. Hunter remained on BOD of Burisma until their guy lost the election to new president of Ukraine, Zelenski.
Sigh. Look I get you only 'know' what you have been fed from Trump's tweets and Right Wing propaganda outlets.
There was no ongoing official investigation into Burisma by Shokin.
Corruption didn't end in Ukraine by his firing- and neither did any official investigation into Burisma- since there was no ongoing investigation.
This whole story has been genned up by Shokin and right wing media to smear the Bidens. There is no there there.
You don't get anything. If Shokin himself says what he was investigating, and why he was fired, I'll give him benefit of the doubt rather than to leftist propaganda.
Investigation in Burisma was closed by Shokin's successor, months after his firing, which means it was still opened when Shokin was fired.
Well? You still believe in MSM media that Shokin was not investigating Burisma?
