No, Hunter was hired because his dad was VP.

That has nothing to do with Shokin. The crimes which launched a couple of investigations occurred years before they hired Hunter. One investigation was opened by England. Shokin helped Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, evade prosecution in that case.

Savvy? Shokin was corrupt and helped a corrupt business owner.

So Shokin wasn't interested in going after Burisma. He then spent another year after aiding Zlochevsky by not actively investigating Burisma.

It would have been better for Hunter Biden to leave Shokin in place since he was helping Zlochevsky.
You really believe the events are mutually exclusive. OMG

You have lost your mind
 
What other corruption was occurring there that should have warranted withholding the aid?
Idk you said our policy wasn’t to give money to corrupt Govts. So are you saying the only corrupt part of Ukraine was Shokin? Did you mean to post something else?

Ukraine had separated from Russia and since that time, worked to weed out corruption in order to get aid from other countries. Shokin was known to be corrupt and to be in charge of a corrupt office. Still, Poroshenko, who was friends with Shokin, was resisting calls from multiple countries, including Ukraine, to force him out. Biden got that job done.
 
So then how could Biden withhold it? Something doesn’t add up? Please explain. Thx

Because Congress allocates the funds to be accessible to the Executive branch. It was the Obama administration who decided to make the aid contingent upon Shokin's removal. The VP has no authority to do that without the president's approval, which Biden acknowledged in his discussion with Poroshenko.
 
Special counsel said he was too old and frail to stand trial? 🤷‍♂️

Irrelevant. Special Counsel is not a part of Congress and has nothing to do with impeachment. Republicans spent more than a year looking for a purported $5m bribe Biden took and for evidence that Biden had Shokin fired to benefit Hunter. They found nothing at all as evidenced by them not impeaching Biden.

What job? He gave a billion dollars to a corrupt govt. according to you.

They found “nothing” or not enough to jeopardize just voting him out? After that debate performance his status is at best in question

Obama administration that you said didn’t give money to corrupt govts. Except Ukraine that is since Hunter was taking money from them. But that’s just a coincidence. OK

Again...

That's as of a week and a half ago. They had almost a year leading up to that where the polls were neck and neck and they didn't impeach him.

There's nothing there.

Not to mention, impeaching him now doesn't hurt Trump's chance of winning, so that's a piss poor explanation anyway.
