Biden infamously bragged about threatening to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor who was investigating, what was that again? Oh yes, he was investigating corruption and money-laundering at Burisma, which had hired Hunter Biden to help get Burisma cleared to do business in the US.
The claim from the Obama Administration and the Biden Crime Family is that it was necessary to to fire this prosecutor for Ukraine to prove it was complying with anti-corruption stipulations to receiving aid.
I know it doesn’t make sense that you’d fire someone investigating corruption to prove you were fighting corruption, but that’s the story this gang of criminals and thieves has been going with for years.
But now State Department records reveal that Ukraine had been certified as being adequately vigorous in their anti-corruption measures — which suggests that Biden was conducting his own private, profitable foreign policy when he demanded that Ukraine fire the prosecutor who his son’s paymasters wanted fired.
Just weeks before then-Vice President Joe Biden took the opposite action in late 2015, a task force of State, Treasury and Justice Department officials declared that Ukraine had made adequate progress on anti-corruption reforms and deserved a new $1 billion U.S. loan guarantee, according to government memos that conflict with the narrative Democrats have sustained since the 2019 impeachment scandal.“Ukraine has made sufficient progress on its reform agenda to justify a third guarantee,” reads an Oct. 1, 2015, memo summarizing the recommendation of the Interagency Policy Committee (IPC) — a task force created to advise the Obama White House on whether Ukraine was cleaning up its endemic corruption and deserved more Western foreign aid.
The recommendation is one of several U.S. government memos gathered by Just the News over the last 36 months from Freedom of Information Act litigation, congressional inquiries and government agency sources that directly conflict with the long-held narrative that Biden was conducting official U.S. policy when he threatened to withhold a $1 billion U.S. loan guarantee to force Ukraine to fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, the country’s equivalent of the American attorney general.
At the time the threat was made in December 2015, Shokin’s office was conducting an increasingly aggressive corruption investigation into Burisma Holdings, an energy firm the State Department deemed to have been engaged in bribery and that employed Hunter Biden and paid him millions while his father was vice president.
New details on the impact of that probe have emerged in recent days.
This is the smoking gun. biden took it upon himself to demand a quid pro quo because he knew about his drug addicted son’s involvement in burisma.
biden wanted the prosecutor fired because his cash cow was at stake.
I suspect they were under oath. Perhaps they should be charged with perjury. That would require the partisan DOJ to actually prosecute democrats.
This also puts the 1st impeachment to shame. President Trump did nothing wrong while talking to zelensky. It was a perfect phone call.
The Congress should expunge the impeachment.
biden as vp had no authority to withhold funds already appropriated and approved to Ukraine. He acted unilaterally and violated his oath to the Constitution.
He figured he would never hold office again, so he was stealing all the money he could get for his retirement. Hillary was supposed to win and get two terms and idiot Biden would be 1,000,000 years old by then. When he was, embarrassingly, the best the Democrats would accept, he was thrown back into the arena. I saw a clip of the Trump/Idiot debate and Trump has a lot more detail about idiot Biden’s corruption than was currently widely known. Once again, idiot Biden was lying his wrinkled ass off and Trump was dead on and 100% right.
It puts Schiff’s efforts to suppress evidence of idiot Biden’s corruption in perspective. They wanted all the “evidence” to be against Trump, even if every shred of it was hearsay, rumor and innuendo.
When Schiff was running the show, lying under oath was a given. No one presenting “evidence” was compelled to tell the truth and all the exculpatory evidence… the information we now have and is widely known about idiot Biden’s corruption… was banned from that farce of a hearing. They’ve tried desperately to keep this suppressed.
In other words, the credibility and integrity of the United States was undercut by idiot and Hunter Biden and their greed. Was it really worth election fraud to put this corrupt, incompetent, treasonous pedophile in office, leftists?
