Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived
https://thehill.com ^ | 04/01/19 | JOHN SOLOMON

In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

“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 recalled telling Poroshenko.

“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,” Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.

Hunter Biden got a seat on the board of a Ukrainian Gas company in 2014, right after a visit to Ukraine by V.P. Biden.

“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.

Joe has always been an erudite guy. As of yesterday morning, there seems to be a concerted effort by the tribe to push Shotgun Joe out of the commune and beyond the pale. Starting to look like a "BFD," to quote the man himself.

Now if Trump, had asked the Russians to fire a special prosecutor looking into Eric or he’d cancel a $1B deal, and they did it for him...

The impeachment proceedings ‘for obstruction of justice’ would be over in a week. Is the Office of Ex-Vice President of the US eligible for impeachment? Yes, and it’s the only way to rescue Creepy Joe’s long suffering SS detail. Now to find a GOP rep with the guts to file the charge... The votes would be interesting.
