Ukrainian Prosecutor That Biden Caused to be Removed-His Statement
Joe Biden bragging about getting a prosecutor fired. (r/The_Donald)
Remember that video where then-Vice President Joe Biden bragged about getting a prosecutor fired? The prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, was investigating the company that Hunter Biden was involved in. He told Ukraine that if this prosecutor wasn’t fired in approximately six hours, Ukraine “wasn’t getting the money”.
Viktor Shokin forwarded an official statement in Russian and in Ukrainian, translated into English, linked below. He went into detail explaining the circumstances surrounding the “request” for his resignation. This is the kind of story that the media should be looking into… Not the one that they’re trying to invent regarding President Trump’s call.
From an uploaded copy on Scribd:
The circumstances of my dismissal were that I tendered my resignation to the Rada at the request of President Poroshenko. Poroshenko asked me to resign due to pressure from the US Presidential administration, in particular from Joe Biden, who was the US Vice-President. Biden was threatening to withhold USD$ 1 billion in subsidies to Ukraine until I was removed from office.
The Ukrainian government’s explanation regarding this resignation is similar to the “lost in public confidence” or “lost in trust in his ability to lead” explanations given for similar US resignations/firings. However, the fired prosecutor provided the real reason for his firing.
From Scribd:
The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings (“Burisma”), a natural gas firm active in Ukraine, and Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors. I assume Burisma, which was connected with gas extraction, had the support of the US Vice-President Joe Biden because his son was on the Board of Directors.
In the phone call between President Trump and President Zelnsky, President Trump asked if this could be looked into. You could read more of the statement on Scribd.

Hunter Biden, defrocked Naval Reserve officer, former paramour of his deceased brother’s wife, and investment manager with no experience in gas and oil, was getting paid by the Ukrainian gas company $50K per month for his membership on its board of directors. Think about that–$600K a year for a part-time job. Anyone besides the cuttlefish think that was not paid to buy influence? In addition, the fired prosecutor was looking into some seven figure Ukraine money transactions through various European banks which may have gone to Hunter or one of his business entities. So, it is easy to see why Uncle Joe wanted him fired within six hours or the billion would be withheld by the 0bama regime. But because Joe has a “D” after his name, that can’t be extortion or a quid pro quo. Move along, nothing to see there.
Geeze, that’s more than Fauxcahontas was getting paid to teach one class at Harvard each year.
You’d think they were getting a free pass on this kind of stuff just because they’re registered democrats…Nah, that couldn’t be it.
The real scandal here. Exposing how the family of these career politicians bank big money off connections.
While I don’t know if I’d trust a fired prosecutor’s take (he can clearly be considered biased), in this case his take is the same as Biden’s. Biden bragged about how he got the guy fired. Whatever the reason, there’s some very fishy stuff going on here.
I personally believe we would need to build at least 1/2 dozen new Super Max Prisons to hold all of the corrupt officials in our gubmint. Here is irrefutable evidence of just one thing that Biden & his ilk are guilty of. I guess a former sitting US Vice President is not held to the same standards of guilt that a sitting US President is.
Who’s to say that this whole Trump/Ukraine thing wasn’t started by the back room supporters of the Skankapotomus dasHildabeast to help out her girlfriend Fakahontous. The mole that made the hearsay statement knowing that deTrumpster would push the Biden part of the story that would help get creepy uncle joe out of the running. My conspiracy theory of the day.
Odd, isn’t it, that biden & co been swamp rats for 40+ years but all the problems in this country have been caused by Trump’s 2 years as President. DRAIN THE SWAMP!!!!!! 😡
What is (Joe) Biden guilty of? Ukrainian documents show that the investigation into Burisma Holdings was dormant during Shokin’s tenure, and that’s one of the reasons why multiple countries and NGOs, including the US government, wanted him fired — he was viewed as light on corruption.
The Ukrainian government has also said that the investigation into Burisma was covering a period of time before Hunter Biden was on the board.
Now, if new evidence comes to light and it turns out there’s some shady stuff going on during Hunter Biden’s time on the board, and Joe Biden had something to do with it, great – investigate and hold them accountable. But there’s zero evidence of that at this point, and the only person claiming otherwise is Shokin, the very same disgraced prosecutor.
I have no ideological love for Biden – but I’m not seeing any ‘irrefutable evidence’ either.
There is a book by the guy who wrote Clinton Cash…that documents the Biden family pay for play scheme
Violating 18 USC § 201 for starters.

Demanding a foreign country fire an investigator looking into a business your son is getting large sums of money from (in what is an obvious pay for influence scheme) is unethical, illegal, and just plain shady.
Though I don’t really expect any better from Biden. He’s a liar who’s spent decades lying. Repeatedly. He even bald faced lies about the manner in which his wife and daughter died. Slanders the driver of the other car in the process too.
Butt, but, Joe waited until the poor truck driver who hit his wife’s car when she pulled out in front of his heavy truck, before Joe started telling audiences that his wife and daughter were killed by a “drunk driver.” For the benefit of those who believe Joe’s outrageous repeated lies, the accident was thoroughly investigated by Delaware authorities because Joe was one of their Congress-critters. They found no evidence the truck driver was either impaired or at fault. Thus, when Joe started playing this victim card, he knew the deceased driver could no longer refute this lie.
Slandering a dead man? That’s pretty damn low – even for a politician.
True, but many politicians have the morals of the DRG.
I guess the video of ole Joe admitting to all this just went right by you.
They pulled the Jedi Mind Trick; These are not the corrupt politicians that you are looking for.
But Biden had to be corrupt in order for them to expose Trump’s corruption. Or some mental gymnastics.
You must have missed the part where Joe Biden told them that if they did not fire the prosecutor, he would be withholding the money. He outright said, he did not insinuate it. Sounds like obstruction to Hack, but he is not a lawyer, nor does he play one on television.
Well, I am a lawer, but maybe the Ukrainian criminal code doesn’t have our absurd laws like the D-rat interpretations of what constitutes obstruction while being a Republican. What Joe did sure looks like extortion to this non-criminal law attorney.
Just a thought! The Prosecutor was fired, and then the affair was investigated by the new Prosecutor, and Biden was cleared of any wrong doing. Did the DOJ, FBI, or any other agency Investigate. None
You can’t see what you don’t look for!
Yeah, I’m sure it received real impartial scrutiny, just like Hillbot’s illegal server storing her classified emails.
This, in spades, fellow O-3.
I see that my prediction is holding, so far.
Pelosi has “deemed” an Impeachment, thus no need for a vote to proceed.
The House has the power to impeach. The whole house, not a subset or one Speaker.
Hold the vote, Ms Speaker. Hold the required vote.
Or admit this is all a scam.
I sincerely hope that at least one of the “subpoenaed” folks have the balls to reply “show me the vote”.
Because this is all just a desperate hail Mary to run out the clock before the prior folks face their own judgement. In a court of Law.
Corey Lewandowski’s, Tom Homan’s, and Joseph Maguire’s recent testimonies show that the admin is finally getting tired of all this and letter the dogs off the leash.
There are a lot of nervous d-rats about that so called un-necessary vote.
A lot of them are in districts that voted for Trump in 2016 and only for them in 2018,
The floor for Trump remains solid with 95% of GOP voters still supporting all he is doing.
And like it or not, these push polls and non random sampling polls designed to dishearten the Trump
supporters enough that they won’t vote for him in 2020.
So far, they have fallen flat on their asses as nobody believes anything these clowns are saying anymore except the rabid racoon libturds like larsy-boy…
Well, since Nan has the votes of all D-rats in the house regardless how absurd the proposition on which they are voting. They will follow her directions on this impeachment fiasco like the herd of lemmings they are. Meanwhile the Republicans have RINO’s like Mittens Romney (yes I know he is in the Senate) who will vote with the D-rats against all things Trump.
Well done, President Trump. Just about time the primaries are starting in the spring, Hunter Biden will have his entire payroll records and work product under subpoena by the Congress as part of a would-be impeachment, meanwhile Joe Biden faces a series of “what did you know and when did you know it” about his cocaine using son suddenly becoming an expert on Ukrainian natural gas industries.
Points to look into:
1 – Was Hunter “cocaine” Biden actually being of benefit to the Burisma Holdings company, perhaps being fed United States intel about Russian natural gas production (and those of other nations) from the economic section of the CIA?
2 – If this young disgraced lawyer suddenly became an expert on management of the international natural gas industry, shouldn’t he have applied his skills, oh, perhaps to a United States natural gas company?
3 – Was he just a total do-nothing member of the board, hired as a favor to his father to bribe Joe Biden into a favorable US Policy? (Let’s all see the minutes of the Board of Directors of Burisma Holdings).
I think the impeachment committees should begin holding hearings, starting with Joe Biden and Hunter Biden on the witness stand, about time the primaries begin in the spring.
Das Hildebeast took bribes right and left in her pay-to-play, Biden and Soon did the same, but the D-rats are running around shitting themselves screaming to impeach President Trump over gossamer-thin manufactured “evidence”. I wonder what the seagull will screech about this?
He will be spouting the parallel universe Das Partei line of the TDS infected proglodyte mob.
He’ll be here spreading TARD right and left like the TARDO he is!
With LITERALLY EMPIRICAL evidence!
Anyone who thinks the Bitch of Ben Ghazi is not a career corruptocrat needs to read “Clinton Cash.” She has an entire mob doing her and Billy Jeff’s bidding.
Biden’s righteous anger (for about 30 seconds, until he realizes he gaffed again):

A good stage magician can totally distract his audience while he does something else.
Trump has everyone’s attention firmly rooted on the Ukraine Kerfluffel.
