Facts never mattered to the left, to the Democrats, to the MSM.
It was a four-year coup attempt against Trump. The question is, why? How close was Trump to undermining the swamp, the deep state, that is the heart of the matter and the why of it.
In 2016, Burisma Holdings was being investigated by Ukraineâs then-Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin while then-Vice President Joe Bidenâs Hunter sat on the companyâs board making $83,000. So Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine unless they fired Shokin.
Biden argued that his actions were above board because he was carrying out the âofficial policyâ of the Obama administration to root out corruption in Ukraine. âIt was a fully transparent policy carried out in front of the whole world and fully, fully embraced by the international community of democracies,â he claimed.
But according to official memos seen by Just The News, this is not the case. Instead, these memos indicate that U.S. State Department officials were âimpressedâ with Shokinâs anti-corruption plan and fully supportive of his effortsâundermining a key narrative during the Democratsâ first partisan impeachment of President Trump.
During the trial, House Democrats maintained that Shokin was fired because State Department officials werenât happy with his anti-corruption efforts, not because he was investigating Burisma. But these memos obtained by Just the News and the Southeastern Legal Foundation under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request show that senior State Department officials, including then-Secretary of State John Kerry, were âimpressedâ with Shokinâs efforts.
âWe have been impressed with the ambitious reform and anti-corruption agenda of your government,â then-Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland personally wrote Shokin on behalf of Secretary of State John Kerry on June 9, 2015.
Nuland currently serves as Bidenâs undersecretary of state.
âThe ongoing reform of your office, law enforcement, and the judiciary will enable you to investigate and prosecute corruption and other crimes in an effective, fair, and transparent manner,â Nuland added. âThe United States fully supports your governmentâs efforts to fight corruption and other crimes in an effective, fair and transparent manner.â
The letter praising Shokinâs performance came a mere six months before Biden successfully pressured Ukrainian officials to fire Shokin. This undermines the Democratsâ impeachment narrative and Bidenâs justification for Shokinâs firing. As such, this new evidence supports allegations that Bidenâs effort to get Shokin fire was motivated by personal reasons.
But perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this new development is that these memos were not provided to Trumpâs impeachment defense team.
