Aweek after then-Vice President Joe Biden began pressuring Ukraine to fire its chief prosecutor in late 2015 by withholding U.S. loan guarantees, the European Union reached internal consensus in a memo saying that Prosecutor Viktor Shokin’s office and the country at large had met its goals for fighting corruption, organized crime and human trafficking.
The newly revealed memo directly undercuts the narrative crafted by Democrats during Donald Trump’s first impeachment and sustained during the 2020 presidential election, namely, that Biden fired Shokin over U.S. and European concerns that he wasn’t fighting corruption aggressively enough.
At the time, Shokin was investigating the activities of energy company Burisma Holdings. And Hunter Biden -- who had no experience in the energy industry -- was being paid at least $83,333 a month by Burisma.
“Based on these commitments, the anti-corruption benchmark is deemed to have been achieved,” the European Commission, a key governing body of the EU Parliament, declared in a December 18, 2015 report that gave a generally rosy assessment of Ukraine’s pace of reforms and specifically the efforts of Shokin’s Prosecutor General Office.

What scares me is the thought of what the "deep state" is going to do to distract from this information.

One can see why Joe laughs when asked about the Republicans investigating him, and twice said, Good Luck in your senior year.

Corruption of this type usually occurs when someone is well versed and very familiar with all the players.
The Ukrainian Prosecutor had been in office almost a year, versus Joe’s 50 years.
There’s never been a Foreign Prosecutor fired by a US Prez or VP - before or after Shokin. Think about that.
Ewwww!
It’s simple. Democrats are liars.
The Democrats have told so many lies over so many years, that they’ve put themselves out on a limb.
I want this article to be true but this part is simply false:
Calling Shokin’s work “an important step forward” the report continued to say that “The progress noted in the fifth report on anti-corruption policies, particularly the legislative and institutional progress, has continued.”
From the report:
“The adoption by the Parliament, on 8 October 2015
of legislative packages covering aspects of the report’s recommendations, is an important step
forward.”
