Biden advised ex-Ukrainian president against prosecuting political rivals, Manafort alleges

JTN-

One of the main targets of the Trump-Russia collusion investigation says he witnessed then-Vice President Joe Biden warn former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych against pressing criminal charges against his chief political rival in 2010.

Paul Manafort, who served as former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign manager and was one of the major figures to be convicted as part of the Robert Mueller probe, was at the time a political consultant for Yanukovych. Appearing on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show on Monday, Manafort described a phone call from Biden to Yanukovych during which the then-vice president issued his warning.

“One of the stories I like to tell about that time is, you know, when Yanukovych won the presidency in 2010, part of the campaign theme, he was campaigning against the former prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, who he declared had done a corrupt deal with the Russians… whe[n] Victor Yushchenko was the president,” Manafort said. “And Yanukovych, against my advice, had her arrested for the corruption, that even Yuschenko approved of, but I was against it, because I said, you don’t do that if you want to have a developing democracy and become part of Europe.” MORE

  2. Why hasn’t Joey B. been impeached?

    He continues to be the greatest liar and imposter in American History.

    His administration and political thuggery continue to destroy what it took 200 years to build.

  3. “Why hasn’t Joey B. been impeached”

    Because the RNC is making money off the corruption too. And mean while another arraignment for Trump. I read today they are actually holding off on future arraignments so they can execute them the very day more bad news drops on the Trailer Trash Admin.
