FOX- Investigators in Ukraine have launched a probe into former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden over allegations that he pressured Ukrainian officials to fire the country’s top prosecutor in 2016, according to a report.
The Ukrainian probe was launched in response to a court order, after the ousted prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, made an appeal for action in the matter, Shokin’s attorney, Oleksandr Teleshetsky, told The Washington Post.
“They need to investigate this. They have no other alternative,” Teleshetsky told the Post. “They are required to do this by the decision of the court. If they don’t, then they violate a whole string of procedural norms.”
Ukraine’s State Bureau of Investigations confirmed a probe was underway, the Post reported.
The director of Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Action Center told the Post, though, that anyone could seek such a court order – claiming the sequence of events here indicates that Shokin’s attorneys essentially made the bureau of investigations launch the case.
Shokin has long objected to his removal, claiming Biden – who’s now running for president — pushed for his firing because the prosecutor tried to investigate Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian gas company where Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was a highly paid board member, reportedly receiving $83,000 per month.
Both Bidens have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in connection with Ukraine. Hunter Biden pledged last year to avoid business deals with foreign entities if his father becomes president. more
Oh great. Maybe Ukraine can finally put our crooks away for us.
Maybe Mueller, 0bama, and Hillary’s names will come up, too.
And he admitted it all on TV in front of the entire western world’s media. (although you wouldn’t know it)
Then the Democrats impeachment kept the word Ukraine in the news for months.
All President Trump had to do was mention Biden every time Ukrain was mentioned and BOOM goes the Biden Campaign.
Chess on 4 levels at the same time!
This just in — Jerry and Pencil Neck mean to impeach the entire Ukrainian government and its top military command.
So, you’re telling me all the money I spent at strip clubs getting probed was unnecessary?
