Amid the current ruckus regarding Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Ukraine, two things have been taken for granted.
The first is that when then-Vice President Biden threatened to withhold aid from Ukraine unless they fired prosecutor Viktor Shokin, it’s because Shokin was deeply and irredeemably corrupt. No matter who Shokin was investigating, nobody in the West would miss him.
Second, even if Shokin had investigated Burisma — the Ukrainian energy company which had given Biden’s son Hunter a $50,000-a-month sinecure on its board — that investigation had ended by the time he was fired. Thus, there’s no potential for either corruption or a conflict of interest on the former vice president’s part.
However, new documents uncovered by investigative reporter John Solomon cast doubt on both of those bedrock assumptions.
