Comer releases Archer transcript

[g5000]

And when have we ever got involved in in forcing sovereign countries to make any changes in their judicial system for them to get money from us?

You're kidding, right? You are that clueless that you are unaware America has been influencing the internal policies of other nations for over a century!?!?

 

[g5000]

The myth that the international community wanted Shokin fired has already been debunked. I won't bother refuting all your horseshit. It has already been refuted.

See post 155, liar.

Envoys pushed to oust Ukraine prosecutor before Biden

EU and US officials dispute Trump’s claim former vice-president acted to protect son

www.ft.com

European and US officials pressed Ukraine to sack Viktor Shokin, the country’s former prosecutor-general, months before Joe Biden, the former US vice-president, personally intervened to force his removal, people involved in the talks said. Mr Biden did not act unilaterally nor did he instigate the push against Mr Shokin, despite suggestions to the contrary by supporters of US president Donald Trump, people familiar with the matter said.

EU diplomats working on Ukraine at the time have, however, told the FT that they were looking for ways to persuade Kiev to remove Mr Shokin well before Mr Biden entered the picture. The push for Mr Shokin’s removal was part of an international effort to bolster Ukraine’s institutions following Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the armed conflict in the eastern part of the country. “All of us were really pushing [former Ukrainian president Petro] Poroshenko that he needs to do something, because the prosecutor was not following any of the corruption issues. He was really bad news,” said an EU diplomat involved in the discussions. “It was Biden who finally came in [and triggered it]. Biden was the most vocal, as the US usually is. But we were all literally complaining about the prosecutor.”

Show me Joe Biden received any of that money.

Because the Republican hoaxsters have been able to find so much as a penny of it going to Biden.

Sorry that makes your ass hurt.

Once again, the prog declines to answer the question.

I'l give you another chance

Not only did the EU want the Ukrainian prosecutor gone, not only did the Ukrainian legislature want the prosecutor gone, not only did the IMF want the prosecutor gone, not only did Joe Biden want the prosecutor gone, so did the Republicans and Democrats of the US Congress: Portman, Durbin, Shaheen, and Senate Ukraine Caucus Reaffirm Commitment to Help Ukraine Take on Corruption | Senator Rob Portman

Succeeding in these reforms will show Russian President Vladimir Putin that an independent, transparent, and democratic Ukraine can and will succeed. It also offers a stark alternative to the authoritarianism and oligarchic cronyism prevalent in Russia. As such, we respectfully ask that you address the serious concerns raised by Minister Abromavi?ius‎. We similarly urge you to press ahead with urgent reforms to the Prosecutor General's office and judiciary. The unanimous adoption by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Basic Principles and Action Plan is a good step.

In other words, you can't quote anyone saying they wanted Shokin fired.

 

[bripat9643]

I just did in post 419, dipshit. Both Republican and Democratic Senators.

And has been pointed out, the IMF, the EU, and the Ukrainian legislature called for him to be fired.

IMF Demand For Ukraine Reform Just Latest Red Flag For Poroshenko

The head of the International Monetary Fund's blunt criticism of Ukraine marks a new low point for a beleaguered administration in Kyiv's efforts to battle corruption.

Poroshenko has ignored repeated calls to sack Shokin, including from more than 100 members of parliament.

Ukraine Ousts Viktor Shokin, Top Prosecutor, and Political Stability Hangs in the Balance​

The United States and other Western nations had for months called for the ousting of Mr. Shokin, who was widely criticized for turning a blind eye to corrupt practices and for defending the interests of a venal and entrenched elite. He was one of several political figures in Kiev whom reformers and Western diplomats saw as a worrying indicator of a return to past corrupt practices, two years after a revolution that was supposed to put a stop to self-dealing by those in power.

As the problems festered, Kiev drew increasingly sharp criticism from Western diplomats and leaders. In a visit in December, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said corruption was eating Ukraine “like a cancer.” Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, which props up Ukraine financially, said last month that progress was so slow in fighting corruption that “it’s hard to see how the I.M.F.-supported program can continue.”

With this pressure mounting, Parliament on Tuesday voted by a comfortable margin to remove Mr. Shokin.
In the final hours before Parliament voted him out.

Demanding reform is not the same thing as saying you want shokin fired. You morons pretend they are synonyms, but they aren't..

Yet, his replacement did absolutely nothing and even dropped all the charges against the Burisma CEO.

EU hails sacking of Ukraine’s prosecutor Viktor Shokin​

​

this is post 155. Post 419 doesn't even exist.

 

[g5000]

Without pressure from Joe Biden, European diplomats, the International Monetary Fund and other international organizations, Shokin would not have been fired, said Daria Kaleniuk, co-founder and executive director of the Anti Corruption Action Centre in Kiev.

"Civil society organizations in Ukraine were pressing for his resignation," Kaleniuk said, "but no one would have cared if there had not been voices from outside this country calling on him to go."

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​

Yet, his replacement did absolutely nothing and even dropped all the charges against the Burisma CEO.

Wrong.

The Burisma investigation ended two years before Hunter joined the board.

They received a fine.

It was all ancient history by the time Hunter came along and before Shokin was fired.

You're kidding, right? You are that clueless that you are unaware America has been influencing the internal policies of other nations for over a century!?!?

That's a good thing. How do savages get civilized unless modern nations influence them?

 

[g5000]

There is ZERO evidence of Joe Biden receiving bribes or money from his son's businesses.

None.

Even the most hardened dipshit in this topic has been forced to admit it.

"It's coming."

A solid gold admission they are on a witch hunt.

This is all smoke to protect Trump.

 

[bripat9643]

See post 155, liar.

Nope. That says they wanted something done about corruption, not that they want Shokin fired.

 

[bripat9643]

Wrong.

That's a lie, of course.

Nope. That says they wanted something done about corruption, not that they want Shokin fired.

It most clearly says they wanted Shokin fired, you deluded hack.

 

[g5000]

That's a lie, of course.

Those are the facts. In the topsy turvy Trump cult, the truth is all lies.

Sad.

 

[g5000]

Enjoy your witch hunt, tards. A total waste of taxpayer dollars can now be added to the list of things Trump has led his cult into.

Former Ukraine prosecutor says Hunter Biden ‘did not violate anything’
“Hunter Biden cannot be responsible for violations of the management of Burisma that took place two years before his arrival,” Lutsenko said.


Ukraine Prosecutor Says No Evidence of Wrongdoing by Bidens


It Doesn’t Take a Genius to Interfere in the U.S. Presidential Election
As the whistleblower’s report notes, even before Trump was repeating Lutsenko’s lines to Zelensky, the prosecutor was already walking them back. And since the release of the whistleblower report, Lutsenko has told multiple major U.S. newspapers that, regardless of what he said earlier, he doesn’t have dirt on Biden of any consequence whatsoever.

On Friday, Ruslan Ryaboshapka, Ukraine's newly appointed chief prosecutor, told reporters his office will review all investigations shelved by his predecessors, including those involving Burisma and Zlochevsky.
