FBI Document Shows Joe Biden Took $5M From Burisma As part of a Bribery Scheme

[Delldude]

Nope. It means it wasn't closed. He still wasn't pursuing. Even the investigation into the Burisma investigation determined it was "dormant."

When Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma for corruption and raided the home of Mykola Zlochevsky, Hunter Biden became extremely active. The upshot was that Hunter’s father famously got Shokin fired by threatening to withhold $1 billion in financial aid unless he was terminated.

Corruption cases filed against Burisma were settled favorably to Burisma, after the cases were switched from Shokin’s prosecutorial office to a nongovernmental National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) influenced by an FBI agent placed by FBI Director James Comey.
( The second corruption case to come to light is the indictment of former high level FBI counterintelligence agent Charles McGonigal. While the head of the FBI's counterintelligence office in New York from 2016 to 2018 and thereafter, he had undisclosed corrupt relationships featuring large amounts of cash payments with both agents of corrupt Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and agents of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, whom Russiagate special counsel Robert Mueller has stated was closely aligned with Russian President Vladimir Putin.)

That raid happened about a year before Shokin was sacked. And while it's true the serious charges against Zlochevsky were dropped, Shokin's replacement was able to prosecute Zlochevsky on tax related charges and collect millions; which is more than Shokin did in 2 years where is filed ZERO charges and collected ZERO dollars.

Here’s What Happened With The Bidens And Ukraine

Topline: President Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, repeatedly claimed that Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden engaged in corruption while the two had dealings in Ukraine.

But no evidence of corruption has ever been found⁠—here’s what actually happened:

• In May 2014, Hunter Biden took a board seat on Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings. He was reportedly paid $50,000 per month.
• Burisma had ties to Ukraine’s previous president Viktor Yanukovych, who was ousted from office.
• As vice president, Joe Biden was tasked with reducing corruption in Ukraine after Yanukovych⁠—eventually charged with “mass killing of civilians”⁠— exiled himself to Crimea amid threats of civil war.
• The overlap between the vice president and his son raised concerns over a potential conflict of interest. The Obama White House said there was no issue with Hunter Biden’s work, and that no conflict of interest existed.
• In 2016, and with the support of other world leaders, Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion of U.S. aid unless Ukraine’s leaders fired the country’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, for being too soft on corruption⁠⁠—which they did.
• Before Shokin was fired, he had been conducting an investigation of Burisma, and Hunter Biden allegedly was a subject. But the investigation had been inactive for over a year by the time Joe Biden pushed for Shokin’s ouster.
• Hunter Biden stepped down from his Burisma board seat in April 2019. He had been offered another term but refused because it could possibly hurt Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.
• Kurt Volker, the former U.S. special envoy for Ukraine, testified in an October 3 hearing before Congress that he warned Giuliani that he was being given “untrustworthy” information about the Bidens. Volker resigned his post September 28 after being named in the whistleblower report.
• Ukraine’s current top prosecutor Ruslan Ryaboshapka said October 4 he will review all old cases involving Burisma. He did not say when the review will be completed, or if the cases will be re-opened.

Why Was Ukraine's Top Prosecutor Fired? The Issue At The Heart Of The Dispute Gripping Washington

• By Christopher Miller

"Ironically, Joe Biden asked Shokin to leave because the prosecutor failed [to pursue] the Burisma investigation, not because Shokin was tough and active with this case," Kaleniuk said.

Ukrainian prosecutors have described no evidence indicating that Biden sought to help his son by getting Shokin dismissed -- and have suggested that they have not discovered any such evidence.

But there is a long list of Western organizations, governments, and diplomats, as well as Ukrainian anti-corruption groups, that wanted to see Shokin fired.

They include the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, the U.S. government, foreign investors, and Ukrainian advocates of reform.

Why Was Ukraine's Top Prosecutor Fired? The Issue At The Heart Of The Dispute Gripping Washington

Explainer: Biden, allies pushed out Ukrainian prosecutor because he didn't pursue corruption cases

It wasn't because Shokin was investigating a natural gas company tied to Biden's son; it was because Shokin wasn't pursuing corruption among the country's politicians, according to a Ukrainian official and four former American officials who specialized in Ukraine and Europe.
Shokin's inaction prompted international calls for his ouster and ultimately resulted in his removal by Ukraine's parliament.
Without pressure from Joe Biden, European diplomats, the International Monetary Fund and other international organizations, Shokin would not have been fired, said Daria Kaleniuk, co-founder and executive director of the Anti Corruption Action Centre in Kiev.

"Civil society organizations in Ukraine were pressing for his resignation," Kaleniuk said, "but no one would have cared if there had not been voices from outside this country calling on him to go."
What really happened when Biden forced out Ukraine's top prosecutor

 

[0311]

That's rather silly. Hunter Biden was involved with Burisma long before 2019 and Shokin had announced an intention to investigate that company. You need to ignore facts to protect the Biden Crime Family.

Sad.

You are lacking one very important thing, proof. Actual evidence of involvement. All you have is hearsay, last time I checked hearsay was not admissible in court.

stupidity on steroids

If it happens?

good gawd almighty! It's time for you to retire from online postings.

So you are saying a trial is eminent ?

 

[Dante Reawakened]

So you are saying a trial is eminent [sic]?

It's not only imminent, it's not looking to be what Trump's cult and others apologizing for, and defending him believe it will be.

probabilities vs possibilities: You people always confuse the two.

 

[Hollie]

Hollie doesn't even have hearsay. She only has what she makes up.

Hollie was watching you stutter and mumble as your claims were refuted.

 

[beagle9]

Hearsay or talk can lead to evidence in an investigation possibly, otherwise once investigator's follow the lead based upon the hearsay or content that was murmured in the hearsay, it can develope into something credible or not.... Once that evidence is produced by following the trail in which it had given clues on, then hearsay can become fact's once the hunt for a lead born of the hearsay is then found to be credible.

You are right that hearsay is not allowed, but the evidence born of the information in the hearsay can definitely be admissible once materialized.

 

[beagle9]

It's not only imminent, it's not looking to be what Trump's cult and others apologizing for, and defending him believe it will be.

probabilities vs possibilities: You people always confuse the two.

Sounds like leftist hopes and dreams to me.

 

[the other mike]

Intelligent people know Joe Biden was lying. Hunter was on Air Force 2 with Joe as he went to meetings and to arrange business deals. Biden is stupid but not that stupid. You might be that stupid though.

He's not stupid ....they have him on heroin.

 

[Hollie]

Yeah, she is in charge of the Department of Making Shit Up.

Yeah. Defend Sloppy Joe and the Biden Crime family.

Grassley: Burisma executive who allegedly paid Biden has audio recordings of conversations with Joe, Hunter

Sen. Chuck Grassley said Monday that the Burisma executive who allegedly paid Joe Biden and Hunter Biden kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them as an “insurance policy," citing the FBI FD-1023 form that the bureau briefed congressional lawmakers on.

The evidence or lead came from Biden's braggart arrogant lips himself. Biden is an arrogant ace, and a braggart that makes Trump look like a choir boy. Biden was just a little more smooth on the delivery, until he gets a-hole mad. Then it comes out.

You're getting quite frantic. That happens when you fail to present a defendable argument.

And you're still unable to refute the facts.
