EXCLUSIVE: Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin told Fox News in an exclusive sit-down interview that he was fired during the Obama administration for investigating Burisma, the energy firm whose board Hunter Biden served on.
During the interview with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade – set to air Saturday at 8 p.m. – Shokin said it is his "firm personal conviction" that he was fired because then-Vice President Biden and Hunter were bribed. Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ousted Shokin in 2016 – he was hired a year prior – due to Shokin's alleged corruption and pressure from the U.S. government led by Biden.
"I have said repeatedly in my previous interviews that Poroshenko fired me at the insistence of the then Vice President Biden because I was investigating Burisma," Shokin said in the interview.
"[Poroshenko] understood and so did Vice President Biden, that had I continued to oversee the Burisma investigation, we would have found the facts about the corrupt activities that they were engaging in. That included both Hunter Biden and Devon Archer and others."
Shokin added that he believed both Joe and Hunter Biden received bribes in connection to the case, though he didn't provide proof of that accusation.
"I do not want to deal in unproven facts, but my firm personal conviction is that, yes, this was the case," he added. "They were being bribed. And the fact that Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in U.S. money in exchange for my dismissal, my firing – isn't that alone a case of corruption?"

“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden says in the video, referring to a conversation with then-Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko.

Notice the GOP is doing NOTHING about this. It undermines the first Trump impeachment.

This Ukie war road is senile Joe’s. Fine leader the war cheerleaders rally behind.
Says a lot.
Everything senile Joe touches always turns to cr@p. There is going to be a huge price to pay, as we are beginning to see.
Obama orchestrated a coup to get his people into power in Ukraine. Not only did he know, he ordered it.
Yep. Obama was the take too.
He was getting his "10%" also.
Hunter Biden ---> Joe Biden ---> Obama.
This will be nothing but a fart in the wind.
Barry is untouchable. And the media will protect all democrats because they are all on the same team.
Well, son of a gun......
Obama orchestrated a coup to get his people into power in Ukraine. Not only did he know, he ordered it.
Then he wouldn’t give military aid to Ukraine.

At the time it was technically a "loan guarantee", which in hindsight was always an American taxpayer gift, never an actual loan. Whoever pooled together the $1 billion slush fund also made out like bandits. The American taxpayers, their children, and their grandchildren, got looted again by the Biden Bureaucratic Blob.
btt
Well, obviously this person has to go.
It’s sad that most don’t know this.
