The Ukrainian prosecutor, that Joe Biden had fired, is interviewed

| August 27, 2023

Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor that got fired in the aftermath of Joe Biden’s threat to withhold Ukrainian aid, participated in a Fox News interview. Shokin answered questions from Brian Kilmeade regarding the circumstances surrounding his firing. He said that Poroshenko fired him based on Joe Biden’s insistence, and that both Poroshenko and Biden understood that Shokin’s findings could have uncovered their corrupt activities.

From Fox News:

“I have said repeatedly in my previous interviews that Poroshenko fired me at the insistence of the then Vice President Biden because I was investigating Burisma,” Shokin said in the interview.

“[Poroshenko] understood and so did Vice President Biden, that had I continued to oversee the Burisma investigation, we would have found the facts about the corrupt activities that they were engaging in. That included both Hunter Biden and Devon Archer and others.”

Shokin added that he believed both Joe and Hunter Biden received bribes in connection to the case, though he didn’t provide proof of that accusation.

“I do not want to deal in unproven facts, but my firm personal conviction is that, yes, this was the case,” he added. “They were being bribed. And the fact that Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in U.S. money in exchange for my dismissal, my firing — isn’t that alone a case of corruption?”

“For years, these false claims have been debunked, and no matter how much air time Fox gives them, they will remain false,” White House spokesperson Ian Sams responded to Fox News. “Fox is giving a platform for these lies to a former Ukrainian prosecutor general whose office his own deputy called ‘a hotbed of corruption,’ drawing demands for reform not only from then-Vice President Biden but also from U.S. diplomats, international partners, and Republican senators like Ron Johnson.”

One year after leaving the White House, Biden boasted about how he personally put pressure on Poroshenko to fire Shokin. He explained that he told Ukrainian officials the U.S. would withhold up to $1 billion in aid money earmarked for their country if Shokin remained in his position.

“I said, ‘Nah, I’m not going to — we’re not going to give you the billion dollars.’ They said, ‘You have no authority. You’re not the president. The president said –.’ I said, ‘Call him.'” Biden remarked during a January 2018 event hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations. “I said, ‘I’m telling you, you’re not getting the $1 billion.'”

“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here,'” Biden continued. “I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.”

50 intelligence experts say that this has all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation operation.

Hack Stone

Those same 50 intelligence experts also said that Phil Monkress was in fact a US Navy SEAL and that Daniel Bernath was an Honorary Chief Petty Officer, so they have a proven track record.

5JC

Bernath was an honorary CPO. For the low, low price of $19.95 you can be one too.

That’s nearly the same honor as the Order of St. Maurice! As a Senior Drill Sergeant and career Infantryman, I feel like I made a significant contribution to the Infantry, and a peer and I were talking about submitting each other. The thing is, it’s all about money. There are some, Drill Sergeant of the Year, senior leaders, etc., who receive the Order for accomplishment, but for the most part, it’s pretty much a “I’ll give you the fee to submit with the application.”

Hence, life member of the National Infantry Association, Old Guard Association, and eventually Rakkasan Association. Never gonna get the Order of St. Maurice because especially these days I don’t care.

But I get it, paid-for honors and orders mean something to some. Not knocking it, hell, I’m a joiner; besides the aforementioned ones, I’m a life member of Gun Owners of America, a monthly USCCA and Firearms Protection Coalition member, and have been a life member of the VFW for 19 years.

I prefer joining and then refusing to participate, obviously. 😀

Is that the price Bob Neener charges for the certificate? Cuz maybe some other POSers would like to be honorary CPO’s.

Doesn’t matter what the facts are. The only fact that matters is the DOJ is so corrupt that they’ll ignore whatever criminal activity Biden and those around him have committed.. as KOB often says, this problem has gone past the point where we’ll be able to vote our way out of it.

KoB

Thanks for noticing, Fyrfighter, and you are 1000% correct in every word of your comment. Over the years I have felt that I was that lone voice, crying out in the wilderness, walking around in broad daylight with my lamp lit. We, The People have been lied to and stolen from by the very people whose job was to look out for We, The People but did nothing other than enrich themselves. News flash for them…nobody gets out alive and that camel loaded with ill gotten gains will NOT fit thru the eye of the needle.

I now know, thru this site and a few others, that there are like minded people that have concerns for the future of their children/grandchildren and hate to see the time come that the 4th box will be needed. We now also know how many despots in the past were able to do what they did. Trump, love him or hate him, was the wake up call, sadly, too little too late. We had our last semi fair election in 2016. Anyone that thinks differently, sorry, not sorry, has flat NOT been paying attention and has their head so far up their ass that if they farted they’d blow what few brains cells they have left out.

The attached linky is an opinion piece that does a good synopsis of how we got to this point and how we are repeating history. An interesting read that is well worth the 2 minutes it’ll take to peruse and make you go….Hmmmm

Prepare…We will NOT vote our way out.

Another read with videos of black folks waking up to being lied to and used.

The last video has a former inmate from the jail trump was taken to.

A good listen to from folks directly affected by the democrats.

Isn’t he Ukrainian to begin with? Maybe he is advising FJB on weapons needs.

Does Nancy Pelosi still have those commemorative pens specially made for President Trump’s Ukraine impeachment? Just asking.

The second we realize this whole Ukraine fiasco is all about corrupt politicians and deals that were made between Washington and people in Zelensky’s government and his predecessor the better.

We will be drug into WW3 over evil crooks like Biden and his puppet masters and our country will have an unprecedented hard time ever recovering from it.

fm2176

I have it on good authority that the only corruption comes from Trump and other politicians who say something and try to execute it, not politicians who go into politics shortly after college and become multimillionaires off a low six-figure salary while raising families and making highly suspect statements.

Slow Joe

The Dems always accuse their political enemies of doing exactly what the Dems are doing.

Roh-Dog

What? You think us going around kicking hornets nests, willfully and without any regards to longterm ethical standards of foreign AND domestic policy, is antithetical to Americanism?

I knew you all were racist bigoted homophobes, but this is a new low, even for you us.

FIX BAYONETS!

We have entered an era where corruption has no flag, no party, and no nation. It is metastasized to infect every soul on this tiny orb.

Plan accordingly.

Again, repeated repeatedly for the sake of repetition:

We’ve been down this road before, and the optimist in me wants to think that this will simply be another in the long tradition of scandals in US politics: List of federal political scandals in the United States – Wikipedia.

In this case, however, we are living it. I daresay that the majority of us are Vets, or at least close to one or more. Based on comments, we have a few “old-timers”, a lot of Vietnam-era Vets who will have the same status WWI Vets did in my childhood and WWII/Korea Vets have today too soon to want to think about, and plenty of late Cold War through 2010s Vets. In other words, we know sacrifice and have lost friends and loved ones along the way, all for the sake of national policy and “important” men and women wearing nice clothes in Washington and generating tens of millions from their sub-$200k annual salary.

We’re out of money, until we can afford to give away billions to Ukraine. We’re a perfect democracy, except we’re a Republic that has had ever-increasingly questionable elections over the past 25 years. We are a law-based society, until a billionaire real estate mogul and celebrity gets elected President and starts shaking up the Establishment. We are the voice of reason, undefeatable in battle, and unshakeable in our standing as the world’s foremost power and bestest ally to other countries that let us provide for their own defense while offering little in return provide so much to the conflicts we get engaged in on their behalf or with their “support”.

Sorry, your meme is 75% incorrect. Chris Heinz did do some likely illegal activities through China with Hunter Biden and another Yale classmate but he broke it off when they went to the Ukraine, seeing it as transparent bribery at the time for which they would get caught.

None of the rest were on the board of anything Ukraine.

Roh-Dog

So, it’s 100% correct then.

Thank you for understanding how memes work!!!!

fm2176

Ah, meme culture. I like it, and like so many others I get most of my information on current events from them. They’re the Wikipedia of the 2020s, but much more amusing and concise: don’t take them at face value and definitely don’t use them as a primary source, but if something piques your interest, by all means do a little more in-depth research.

The fact is that Uniparty politicians are considered corrupt by many who emulate Rowdy Roddy Piper in They Live. We don’t have special sunglasses, but we don’t need them to know that a lot of politicians and their families benefit from the establishment, while their apologists in the mainstream media attempt to divert our attention towards the real threat: Trump and others who are oddly enough relatively unimpeachable (compared to career politicians) despite being impeached twice.

KoB

Yep! And in semi related news, here’s a little gem that popped up and isn’t being discussed in the Uniparty News Feeds. Not that anything will come of it…for reasons.

Yes, dishonest trollery for the most part.

You fact checked a question, so…

What is amazing is this is one of the few times Joe has told the truth about himself in one of his stories. Of course, he did leave out the part where he and hunter received the $10,000,000 bribe from Burisma to extort the firing of the prosecutor investigating Burisma.
