The Bidens' adventures
in Ukraine have been known
for almost four years,
with very little mainstream
media interest.
In December 2015,
the New York Times
published a story saying
the Ukraine energy company
Burisma hired Hunter Biden
just weeks after his dad,
Vice President Biden,
was asked by President Obama
to oversee U.S.-Ukraine relations.

That story alerted Biden’s office
that Prosecutor General
Viktor Shokin had an
active investigation
of Burisma and its founder.
Biden bragged on a recent video
that he threatened to withhold
$1 billion in US loan guarantees
in 2016, unless Ukraine's
previous government
immediately fired Prosecutor
General Viktor Shokin:

The Biden threat was a crime.
And the Ukraine prosecutor
was fired within hours.
The Hill's John Solomon
found hundreds of documents
that contradict Joe Biden's
claim that Ukrainian prosecutor
Shokin, who was investigating
his son's employer, was a
corrupt and inept prosecutor.

Shokin told Solomon that
before he got fired, he was
planning to question
Hunter Biden about $3 million
in fees that he and business
partner Devon Archer
had collected from Burisma
- which in some months
totaled over $166,000,
according to documents
seized by the FBI.
Joe Biden
has been peddling
has been peddling
the narrative
that Shokin's
that Shokin's
March 2016 firing
had nothing to do
with Burisma.
That is a lie.
Shokin says:
"I was forced out because
I was leading a wide-range
corruption probe into
Burisma Holdings,
a natural gas firm
active in Ukraine,
a natural gas firm
active in Ukraine,
and Joe Biden’s son,
Hunter, was a member
Reporter John Solomon claims:
"Hundreds of pages of
never-released memos
and documents — many from
inside the American team
helping Burisma
to stave off its legal troubles
— conflict with Biden’s narrative."
US officials
"may have painted
a false picture
(of Ukraine prosecutor corruption)
"may have painted
a false picture
(of Ukraine prosecutor corruption)
in Ukraine that helped ease
Burisma’s legal troubles
and stop prosecutors’ plans
to interview Hunter Biden
during the 2016 U.S.
presidential election."
Burisma’s American legal
representatives offered
“an apology for dissemination
of false information by U.S.
representatives and public figures”
smearing the Ukrainian prosecutors,
according to the Ukrainian
government’s official memo
of the meeting.
Solomon explained:
"These documents show
... that the very day Joe Biden
managed to get that Ukraine
prosecutor fired ... the American
company lawyers helping Burisma
trying to fight this investigation
... stated to the replacement
prosecutor, we know that the
information calling Mr. Shokin
corrupt and was ‘False information
distributed by U.S. Government
officials and other figures.' "
If the Ukraine prosecutor’s
firing involved only corruption
and ineptitude, then why did
Burisma's American legal team
refer to those allegations
as “false information?"
If the firing had nothing to do
with the Burisma case,
then why would Burisma’s
American lawyers contact
the replacement prosecutor
within hours of him getting
the job, and urgently seek
a meeting in Ukraine
to discuss the case?
Ukrainian prosecutors
attempted to get
this information
to the US Department
of Justice (DOJ)
since last summer -
first unsuccessfully
engaging a US attorney
in New York, who showed
no interest, and then
reaching out to Rudy
Giuliani, President
Trump's attorney.
