Well, Biden never went to Ukraine in March 2016. Poroshenko came to the WH

So Biden has a defense: He lied about being in Kiev! But actually, it might change things if the extortion actually occurred in the White House.

March has 31 days in it...perhaps both happened?

which would mean a lot of US/Ukraine activity going on at the time if both happened

The “Gaffe Defense.”

That’s a new gambit.

He was throwing bull around, confabulating, lying. But that’s not a crime—its just election politics. /S

It would seem that for a lot of these politicos that when they run for office they and their insiders have in mind who they can extort using the power of the US taxpayer’s money. No wonder they want to raise our taxes - it gives them so much more to self-deal with.

Did this go on before the Clintons? It must have but I don’t remember it being so blatant.

A pool spray means that the WH Press Pool gets to spit questions at the official.

I think there’s always been corruption in government, but some things have changed.

One is, that relative to the size of the economy, the government so much bigger than it used to be, both in terms of the amount of activity/money it handles and controls, and also in terms of the number of levels in the government hierarchy.

Another is that the Internet has a long memory for things people have said (although there are efforts to erase the past), and there’s a lot more information out there to peruse.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Biden visited Kiev and spoke out against bureaucratic corruption that he said was eating Ukraine “like a cancer.” Biden threatened to withhold loan guarantees unless Ukraine’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who had been widely accused of corruption, was removed.

On March 29, 2016, The Ukrainian Parliament voted to remove Shokin.

On Jan. 23, 2018, Biden, at a Council on Foreign Relations event, detailed how he had threatened to withhold funds from Ukraine if Shokin was not removed.

Biden is as dirty as one can get.

Silly rabbit. Don’t you know it does not matter what a demoncrap does?

We are all supposed to go brain dead and look the other way when a demoncrap does something. Never utter a word, never investigate, never try, never convict. Nothing. You aren’t supposed to challenge or accuse a potential competitor if they are demoncrap. They all get passes.

Only our Republican President gets the Spanish Inquisition treatment.

Note in the body the possibility of Dec. 9, 2015, but that the actual date of the threat to withhold the Billion dollars is sketchy, if not known.

I believe the itinerary shown in post #1 is for some other event.

In 2014 Ukraine had four times the PPP economy comparing to now. They had three times higher incomes. They still had advanced first world industries and so on.
NWO agent Saakashvili himself admitted Ukraine needs decades to reach back to pre-coup economy given the most favorable conditions for recovery which aren’t present.
For reference this sorry country was in top ten global economies nominally in 1992.
Ukraine built last automobile, ship or aircraft before 2016.
It is now a banana republic and NWO is mulling a land trade act meaning they would sell all their arable land to Euro companies on the cheap and they would abandon land and put end to Ukrainian agriculture in favor of French farmers as well.

“A federal judge says it is time to forgive Randy “Duke” Cunningham, the most corrupt member of Congress ever if measured by the amount of bribes he admitted accepting.” THE ATLANTIC July 10, 2014
...
Cunningham was a Viet Nam hero, the basis for the movie TOP GUN and served about eight years for corruption, etc..
...
Maybe Biden and his son Hunter, in combination, could, beat Cunningham as the MOST CORRUPT member of Congress (or perhaps when Obama was ‘pres’dent’ he declared the White House a Sanctuary Area like Albany NY is today.
...
Oh, did I mention Cunningham was a crooked Republican and the Biden is allegedly a Crooked DemocRat?..... BELAY MY LAST.

The entire EU, NATO, Western European seduction of Ukraine has been for the purpose of establishing Western control and ownership of Ukraine natural resources, minerals, productive land, and ports.

The unavoidable result is Serfdom of the Ukrainian people and a corrupt Western Puppet Government.

It is around since old Bush and known as Wolfowitz Doctrine. Didn’t serve well for US influence but enriched countless swamp dwellers.

He didn’t say he went to Kiev. He said he went to KEEVE! An entirely different place - at least in his book and vocabulary!

thanx for that link.
In March 2016, Biden only did a tour of the Mid East.
He received ambassadors in the U.S. - none were from the Ukraine.
