Obama delayed it because of corruption within the Ukraine government. The money was released and probably after the prosecutor general was fired 3 or 4 months later after Biden's visit in December.
Half ass truth. There were three payments made to Ukraine prior the hold, despite of knowing that there is corruption in Ukraine.
Money was paid thru PrivatBank, own by the same dude that owns Burisma. Since some money has been stolen, investigation was open to find the money.
The prosecutor general at that time did not do a thing about corruption within the Ukraine government.
Burisma investigation proves otherwise.
They were concern that money given to Ukraine would not be used for the specific purpose that it was sent there for
The $3B dollars released in previous three years doesn't really express that concern.
Ukraine was widely believed by almost everyone including European governments including the IMF to be corrupt
IMF threaten to withhold money if Ukraine did not clean up there act
True, with note IMF withheld the money for the reason completely unrelated to Burisma.
OB, Europeans, IMF did not ask for anything in return other than having the Ukraines become serious about corruption in their government. This mostly centered around the prosecutor general and his office. They only wanted Ukraine government to clean up their act.
You're cherry picking. Corruption in Ukraine is not just in prosecutor general office, it was overall. Only reason prosecutor general was singled out is because of refusing to provide the "evidence" against Ukrainian citizen to agencies that have no jurisdiction in Ukraine, INO he was following Ukrainian law.
Since 2016 the prosecutor general was fired and replaced.
Half ass truth, again. What you did not mention is that meanwhile Burisma hired Dopey Biden, and few other high profile names, for reason of protection from investigations. Prosecutor general was fired, but on Biden request under threat that he will not release the money.
New prosecutor general did not close the investigation immediately, due to bureaucratic what was not possible.
Dopey Biden continue "working" for Burisma.
Elections were held and a new government is in place
Yes, election were held three years after. It's also interesting that Biden stopped working for Burisma in April of 2019, right after their man in Ukraine lost the elections.
Pointing to OB withholding money as if it was the same reason that Trump was withholding aid ignores the reasons that each used for withholding money.
The difference is Trump wanted an investigation into Biden and his son
Incorrect. Trump wanted investigation in Ukraine meddling in US elections, that Ukraine admitted.
Trump even talked about a server that belong to the DNC and Cloudstrike
All things that were political issues in the US not in Ukraine
that is the difference
Obama did not have his private lawyer go to Ukraine to find dirt on a political opponent
Obama, hand in hand with Hillary had DNC working with Ukrainians on digging dirt on Manafort who was working for Trump campaign. Ukrainians admitted it, and there is a connection.
Al this "impeachment" show is just to prevent Trump and rest of us to find out what really happened. President Zelensky is Ukrainian man who Democrats didn't think that can win, just as they thought of Trump, and they can't buy him as they did with previous president.
