Here is the deal the proof is in the pudding
There is a transcript and a tape of Trump
There is a guy who was fired because Biden was acting on behalf of the US government and other European allies. They were going to give the country billions of dollars and they wanted assurances that money sent was not going to end in the pockets of corrupt politicians
He is now making the rounds with no proof but saying things that the right likes to hear
Biden makes threats of withholding money due to corruption in late 2015
he was fired for lack of progress on corruption. IMF had threaten to withhold money in early 2016
Since 2012 the owner of Burisma had been under investigations
in early 2015 Shokin became prosecutor general for Ukraine
So in fact Shokin was fired because of no progress in the investigation of the owner and Burisma
The US was going to investigate the company for money laundering
Dec 2015 Biden delivers the message of withholding money because of lack of progress against government crack down on corruption
At that time the investigation was dead
Republican senators
Rob Portman,
Mark Kirk and
Ron Johnson co-signing a
Senate Ukraine Caucus letter in February 2016 urging then-President Poroshenko to implement reforms, including "to press ahead with urgent reforms to the Prosecutor General's office
In the same time in the early 2016, there were demonstrations in the streets of UK and even the US ambassador and other were calling for the removal of reform of the prosecutor generals office which usually translates into the head of that organization which was Shokin
The IMF threaten to withold money 40 billion
A month later Shokin was removed, he wasn't removed during Bidens last visit it was with the added pressure of the IMF and protesters in the street
Thus Biden was involved but there were others also and the IMF threats and the demonstrations was more effective. Also the investigation was going on 4 years with no progress or convictions. At least a year under Shokin.
Sure Biden likes his Trump moment when he takes credit for stuff
If I was Biden I would reign it in a little
Now Shokin has a pulpit and its name is Fox and Trump
Did Shokin get a raw deal well I can't say but its obvious he can shine for a few minutes
Still show the proof if you have any but otherwise it just conjecture
