Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian Nightmare: A Closed Probe Is Revived
Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived | TheHill
5/01/19 ~ By JOHN SOLOMON
Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldnāt resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.... In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didnāt immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. āI said, āYouāre not getting the billion.ā Iām going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: āIām leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, youāre not getting the money,āā Biden recalled telling Poroshenko. āWell, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,ā Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat. Interviews with a half-dozen senior Ukrainian officials confirm Bidenās account, though they claim the pressure was applied over several months in late 2015 and early 2016, not just six hours of one dramatic day.
Nonetheless, some hard questions should be answered by Biden as he prepares, potentially, to run for president in 2020: Was it appropriate for your son and his firm to cash in on Ukraine while you served as point man for Ukraine policy? What work was performed for the money Hunter Bidenās firm received? Did you know about the Burisma probe? And when it was publicly announced that your son worked for Burisma, should you have recused yourself from leveraging a U.S. policy to pressure the prosecutor who very publicly pursued Burisma?

By all accounts, Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrats have total immunity from all of their crimes. There are two forms of Justice. One for the hoi polio and one for the elitist named Just Us. It' changing but not quickly enough for my taste.
The PMS/DSA Dems think their āelitistā fecal matter donāt stink. They love their Hillary and Bath House Barry crooked communists and Ukrainians and their puppet master Putin, who Hillary has paid off handsomely. Our Uranium lights up their lives. Some hard questions need to be answered by Biden as he prepares, potentially, to run for president in 2020: Was it appropriate for your son and his firm to cash in on Ukraine while you served as point man for Ukraine policy? What about Hunter Biden securing a billion-dollar deal with Chinese investors ten days after his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, visited China in 2013? What work was performed for the money Hunter Bidenās firm received? Did you know about the Burisma probe? And when it was publicly announced that Biden's son worked for Burisma, should he have recused himself from leveraging a U.S. policy to pressure the prosecutor who very publicly pursued Burisma?
Biden himself proudly told us, he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor when he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, later, Hunter Biden was named to the board, to oversee Burismaās legal team and Joe Bidenās effort to fire the prosecutor overseeing it has escaped without much public debate.
You have to question whether it was appropriate for Joe's son and his firm to cash in on Ukraine while Joe served as point man for Ukraine policy or negotiations with China?
I wonder what excuses will be coming from the Leftist ideological posters on this Forum regarding these treasonous acts by both the former Vice President and his son?
If the news media is non biased shouldn't we all be questioning why this has been swept under the rug except for singular real investigative reporters?
