>> Uh, no; he was supposed to be doing that, but he wasn't. You have no way, whatsoever, to know that, and no way to even suspect it was happening. This is the problem with most Democrats. You're naive or simply don't care when Democrats behave corruply. A person has to be really stupid not to be able to see what happened here.

"Shokin was investigating corruption" Uh, no; he was supposed to be doing that, but he wasn't. You are lying. Biden had Shokin fired because Shokin was prosecuting Burisma. Burisma paid Hunter Biden for this protection from prosecution. In 2014, a suspicious Burisma money transfer was flagged and prosecuted in the UK. Burisma was acquitted. This was blamed on lack of cooperation from Ukraine prosecutors. Shokin was not the prosecutor yet. What did Shokin do when he became prosecutor? He raided the home of Burisma's founder on Feb 2, 2016. That led Biden to make a flurry of phone calls Ukraine, threatening to withhold aid money, and on March 29, 2016 Shokin was fired. Here is How Joe and Hunter Got Paid By shipwreckedcrew uncoverdc.com November 21, 2019 letter from Lindsay Graham to Mike Pompeo: justsecurity.org Tom

State Dept loved Ukraine prosecutor Shokin: "We have been impressed with the ambitious reform and anti-corruption agenda of your government," then-Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland personally wrote Shokin in an official letter dated June 9, 2015 that was delivered to the prosecutor two days later by then-U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt. Nuland, now President Biden's undersecretary of state, wrote that "Secretary Kerry asked me to reply on his behalf" to let Shokin know he enjoyed the full support of the United States as he set out to fight endemic corruption in the former Soviet republic. "The ongoing reform of your office, law enforcement, and the judiciary will enable you to investigate and prosecute corruption and other crimes in an effective, fair, and transparent manner," Nuland added. "The United States fully supports your government's efforts to fight corruption and other crimes in an effective, fair and transparent manner." justthenews.com Months later Shokin showed he was serious about corruption by seizing Burisma property. Suddenly, the Obama Administration changed its tune. Biden threatened to withhold billions of dollars from Ukraine unless they fired Shokin. So they fired Shokin. Obama and Biden should have been impeached, not Trump. The Post just published a long story about Biden in which it repeats a claim that every news outlet has been making for months even though it's demonstrably false. In fact, as @ClimateAudit noted, Shokin had all of Zlochevsky's properties seized a few weeks before he was fired. pic.twitter.com/vzNVwjYrXS — Philippe Lemoine (@phl43) September 29, 2019 Tom

"Shokin was investigating corruption" Uh, no; he was supposed to be doing that, but he wasn't. Wrong. Devon Archer (Hunter Biden's partner on the Burisma board) said that at the time Biden forced Shokin’s firing because he was posing a major threat to Burisma by going after the assets of the owner Mykola Zlochevsky. “He was a threat," Archer said. "He ended up seizing assets of Mykola – a house, some cars, a couple properties. And Mykola actually never went back to Ukraine after Shokin seized all of his assets.” justthenews.com Shokin was aggressively investigating Burisma corruption. That's why Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion aid money unless Ukraine fired Shokin. Tom
