The story has no validity. The source is flawed.Your source is not trustworthy.the prosecutor was CORRUPT and not going after the corruption the new president was hired for....True! Why is that "if" there? That's Politifact's attempt at a fig leaf. Please read the details provided by Joe below...That's a big azzed If, right there.
Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived
"In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.
“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.
“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,” Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat."
I don't see anything that warrants an "if"..
the prosecutor's deputy prosecutors were found with piles of diamonds and gold in their homes, from all the payoffs the elite running the corrupt businesses were paying them to not prosecute them.....
All of our allies were in support of the US's actions of with holding help, until the new president fired the crooked prosecutor.
It was not hidden, their goal was known by all in our government and all in other EU gvts like the UK.
It had nothing to do with his son being a board member for an Oligarch's company there.
And it was done in the best interest of the Ukraine to rid them of the overwhelming corruption the prosecutor was a part of, and theft of their citizens, and the UK, and the USA...who were funding the repair of the Ukraine with diplomatic funds and were concerned with our USA money just ending up in corrupt hands.
The quid pro quo, was a diplomatic one, which happens all the time in Diplomacy, was in the interest of the USA... not for personal or political gain, of themselves

They bothered to talk to a Ukrainian reformer which gives it more validity than you clowns have. Take your lying ass and shove it.
You are the one pushing wild conspiracy theories and you talk about validity and flaws. Your head in invalid and flawed.
