Comer demands explanation for decision to get Ukraine prosecutor (investigating Hunter) fired

Burisma Holdings was not under scrutiny at the time Joe Biden called for Shokin's ouster, according to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, an independent agency set up in 2014 that has worked closely with the FBI.

Shokin's office had investigated Burisma, but the probe focused on a period before Hunter Biden joined the company, according to the anti-corruption bureau.

The investigation dealt with the Ministry of Ecology, which allegedly granted special permits to Burisma between 2010 and 2012, the agency said. Hunter Biden did not join the company until 2014.

The Burisma investigation ended with a settlement and a fine paid by one of the firm's accountants, according to Sergii Leshchenko, a former Ukrainian lawmaker who spearheaded anti-corruption efforts under former President Petro Poroshenko.

Biden, allies pushed out Ukrainian prosecutor because he didn't pursue corruption cases

 
COMER: I would like to know why Biden had the prosecutor investigating Hunter fired.

STAFF: Um...he wasn't investigating Hunter. The investigation ended with a fine and took place two years before Hunter came along.

COMER: Yeahbut the rubes don't know that. I need to throw non-stop shit at the wall. Get with the program!

Comer knows exactly why Shokin was fired. He also knows it had fuck-all to do with Hunter Biden.

But he also knows tards like you don't care about facts, just smears.

He's putting on political theater specifically for hacks like you.

Wrong
 
A whole three! Yeah you fell for the bipartisan lie again.
Yes a whole three… why did those three senators sign a letter calling for reform in a Shokins office? Were they covering for Hunter? Try answering this time not dodging
 
Archer wasnt under oath when he said that. Something tells me his story is going to change once charges start coming down the pike. We will be more than happy to give him immunity for his testimony against the Bidens.
Under oath he will make the Bidens all look like Saints.

The GOP MAGA Mongoloids wanted his testimony to be Not under oath. Even then, Archer was hesitant to back the conspiracy theories.
 
So what? Why did 3 GOP senators sign a letter calling for reform to Shokins office? Were they covering for Hunter Biden as well?
You should pay more attention to chron, Einstein. Did the European Union publically laud Shokin's performance on 18 Dec 2015, after Bidenochio's interference, or not?
 
Under oath he will make the Bidens all look like Saints.

The GOP MAGA Mongoloids wanted his testimony to be Not under oath. Even then, Archer was hesitant to back the conspiracy theories.
Why would the GOP not want it under oath? That makes no sense.
 
Shokin wasn't investigating Burisma, according to the Ukraine Deputy General Prosecutor...... Who quit or was forced to, because he could not stand working in such a corrupt general prosecutor office...

And the next General Prosecutor who replaced Shokin, ran an investigation on Shokin cases to see who was being investigated during Shokin's year there, and what the new prosecutor general needed to continue with.... and he had no active investigation in to Burisma or the owner.

There are articles in the news from 2015 and 2016, about Shokin and our Diplomats/ambassador calling for the replacement of the General Prosecutor and complaints of total corruption, months and months before Biden's threat on holding back money until their act was cleaned up in their doj, (Prosecutor General's office) is cleaned up and rid of corruption. Google it!

Two of Shokin's prosecutors, labeled the Diamond Prosecutors, were caught being paid off by corrupt businesses with a slew of loose diamonds. Shokin refused to prosecute them, which was the straw that broke the camel's back, and this prominent and vocal Ukrainian Anti Corruption league, insisted Shokin be fired...they had it with him! Then the Ukrainian President at the time, finally asked Parliament, to kick him out.... And they did.

This was 3 to 4 months after Biden made his demand on firing him to the Ukraine President and 9 months after our Ambassador called for Shokin and others be kicked out and the department cleaned up.



David Sakvarelidze was five months into a new job as Ukraine’s reformist deputy chief prosecutor when a witness came forward with intelligence that would change the course of everything.

The witness, a sand producer in the Kiev region, complained of men extorting hundreds of thousands of dollars. It took a while to persuade the man to give evidence. But when he did, and the investigation began, the trail led to two of the country’s highest-placed prosecutors.


A search of the men’s apartments revealed a scene that looked like a comic heist: bags full of cash, diamonds and other precious stones. But that was not the only incriminating evidence. Documents seized at the time indicated the men appeared to have a connection to the top prosecutor in the land, Viktor Shokin.
Police found copies of Shokin’s passports, property registration certificates and even his licence to carry firearms. One of the two men, it transpired, was Shokin’s former driver who had subsequently climbed the ranks behind his boss.

For Sakvarelidze, there were clear suspicions the two men may have been carrying out the business of the chief. But his attempts to investigate were frustrated. Soon, he faced a corruption investigation himself. At loggerheads with Shokin, he was pushed out of his job within the year.

The top prosecutor would also depart in March 2016...

Why Poroshenko’s Support for Shokin Is Dangerous

By Josh Cohen
.....
In a recent Brussels meeting with the President of the European Commission, Poroshenko received a promise that in exchange for implementing graft-fighting measures, the European Union would eliminate visa requirements for Ukraine’s 46 million citizens. In return, Ukraine would implement a series of anti-corruption reforms. At the top of the list is the nomination of a new independent prosecutor tasked with bringing down corrupt government officials. An eleven member selection panel—seven nominated by the Verkhovna Rada and four by Shokin—are to choose the best candidate for the post.

Shokin’s nominees are closely associated with the old system. At the Prosecutor General’s Office, Yury Hryshchenko managed Volodymyr Shapakin, the so-called “diamond prosecutor” who was arrested earlier this year in a sting operation for bribery with $400,000 dollars of cash in his office and $100,000 of diamonds in his home. First Deputy Prosecutor General Yury Sevruk has stymied reforms in the Prosecutor General’s Office. Reformers believe that making anti-reform individuals like Hryshchenko and Sevruk directly responsible for selecting the most important anti-corruption figure makes the process a mockery.

But it gets even worse. After Jan Tombinski, the European Union’s Ambassador to Ukraine, criticized Shokin’s appointments, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry sent a letter to the National Council on Reform urging Shokin to replace his appointees to the selection panel with qualified candidates.

Shokin doubled down, dismissing outside criticism and asserting his right to put whomever he wants on the panel. Shokin followed this up by allegedly threatening to prosecute Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry “for criminal acts intended at undermining the authority of state institutions” in a letter that Ukrainiska Pravda obtained and published. It seems Shokin prefers to use his prosecutorial discretion to threaten the very people seeking to free Ukraine from its endemic graft.

His behavior raises an obvious question: Why doesn’t Poroshenko fire Shokin?

SHOKIN WAS CORRUPT, HE NEEDED TO BE FIRED.
There's a problem with the term "endemic graft." The CIA has been colluding with that in Ukraine for over 70 years, and Bidenochio is one of their puppets. It's been a nine year war not a two year war.
 
He never mentioned Hunter when he was talking about having the prosecutor fired. So let's keep that straight as to what actually happened. And that can be debated on another thread as well pretty please.

What is pertinent to THIS thread is the media's refusal to cover that story and even when they are forced to comment on it, they characterize it as disinformation by Trump and/or the GOP and/or they say the prosecutor was not investigating Burisma, which is almost certainly not true according to the prosecutor himself if he has been accurately quoted.

Those on the right err when they elaborate to the point they get it wrong on their side. The left errs when they repeat the disinformation and/or do not think the incident merits investigation at all.
One version says a $10 million bribe to Joe, another says Joe and Hunter each got $5 million.
 
Why would the GOP not want it under oath? That makes no sense.
So he could tell tales that fit. Under oath he'd be forced to be truthful. Archer knew the whacko MAGA GOPers wanted a narrative. He wouldn't even give them that. He said things with caveat, hesitated, did not eat their shit.

You poor fools -- its the 2002 election bs all over again.

losers all
