IMPORTANT NOTE: The Clinton-Obama-Biden-Ukraine collusion/corruption scandal seems to revolve around PRO-RUSSIA people in the Ukraine. From what I've seen and heard, on Sean Hannity's radio and television shows, neither he nor John Solomon, who have both otherwise done outstanding work on this story, have pointed out to their viewers/listeners this key bit of information -ETL

"In late April, around the time the vice president made an official trip to Ukraine, Burisma allegedly appointed Devon Archer, one of Hunter Bidens business partners, to its board as well.
Heres a brief write-up on the story from the Moscow Times, an English-language news service based in Russia.
These dual announcements raise more questions than they answer. The prominence of the individuals involved Hunter Biden is the vice presidents son, while Devon Archer was a major bundler for John Kerry and also his stepsons college roommate

Burisma is a natural gas exploration and production company owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, a cabinet member of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich. [Viktor Yanukovich was Putins stooge in the Ukraine -ETL].
Yanukovich was removed from his position in February 2014.
He currently lives in exile in Russia and is wanted by Ukraine for high treason.
Zlochevsky later fled the country in late-2014 as Ukrainian prosecutors launched investigations into his time in public office as well as his private businesses.

Viktor Yanukovych (Party of Regions), Putin's stooge in the Ukraine -ETL]

His major rival was Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych. ..."
The campaign was often bitter and violent.
Yushchenko became seriously ill in early September 2004.
He was flown to Viennas Rudolfinerhaus clinic for treatment and diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, accompanied by interstitial edematous changes, due to a serious viral infection and chemical substances that are not normally found in food products.
Yushchenko claimed that he had been poisoned by government agents.
After the illness, his face was greatly disfigured: jaundiced, bloated, and pockmarked.
British toxicologist Professor John Henry of St Marys Hospital in London declared the changes in Yushchenkos face were due to chloracne, which results from dioxin poisoning.[17]
Dutch toxicologist Bram Brouwer also stated his changes in appearance were the result of chloracne, and found dioxin levels in Yushchenkos blood 6,000 times above normal.[18]
On December 11, Dr. Michael Zimpfer of the Rudolfinerhaus clinic declared that Yushchenko had ingested TCDD dioxin and had 1,000 times the usual concentration in his body.[19]

Many Ukrainians believe you need look no further than the face of Viktor Yushchenko to understand Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
Once smooth and ruggedly handsome, it still bears the scars from an assassination attempt when someone slipped dioxin into Yushchenko's food. ..."

From the NY Times, March 2016...
Viktor Shokin, who was ousted on Tuesday as prosecutor general of Ukraine.
MOSCOW Bowing to pressure from international donors, the Ukrainian Parliament voted on Tuesday to remove a prosecutor general who had clung to power for months despite visible signs of corruption.
But in a be-careful-what-you-wish-for moment, veteran observers of Ukrainian politics said that the prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, had played an important role in balancing competing political interests, helping maintain stability during a treacherous era in the divided countrys history.
The United States and other Western nations had for months called for the ousting of Mr. Shokin, who was widely criticized for turning a blind eye to corrupt practices and for defending the interests of a venal and entrenched elite.
He was one of several political figures in Kiev whom reformers and Western diplomats saw as a worrying indicator of a return to past corrupt practices, two years after a revolution that was supposed to put a stop to self-dealing by those in power.
As the problems festered, Kiev drew increasingly sharp criticism from Western diplomats and leaders.
In a visit in December, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said corruption was eating Ukraine like a cancer.
Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, which props up Ukraine financially, said last month that progress was so slow in fighting corruption that its hard to see how the I.M.F.-supported program can continue. ...

Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko told Hill.TVs John Solomon in an interview that aired Wednesday that U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine [Obama-appointee] Marie Yovanovitch gave him a do not prosecute list during their first meeting.
Unfortunately, from the first meeting with the U.S. ambassador in Kiev, [Marie Yovanovitch] gave me a list of people whom we should not prosecute, Lutsenko, who took his post in 2016, told Hill.TV last week.
My response of that is it is inadmissible. Nobody in this country, neither our president nor our parliament nor our ambassador, will stop me from prosecuting whether there is a crime, he continued.

In a Wednesday interview on Fox News' "Hannity," [Mar 20, 2019] former federal prosecutor Joe diGenova said that Yovanovitch needed to be removed from her position due to her actions under the Trump administration.

Obama White House counsel Gregory Craig
Kostiantyn Kulyk, deputy head of Ukraines prosecutor generals international affairs office, said that investigators had evidence that a number of Western figures, such as Obama White House counsel Gregory Craig, also received money from the Party of Regions, the party of ousted Ukranian President Viktor Yanukovych, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Craig was recently indicted for allegedly lying about his dealings with Ukraine.
____________________________________________________
"Prosecutors who brought charges against Craig, the former Obama White House counsel, focused on a Ukrainian businessman who was also a major donor to Clintons organization, the Clinton Foundation, The Epoch Times reported earlier in April."
Bet they are regretting that now, of course I can't really blame them, part of the agreement was the West promised to guarantee their defense in exchange for dismantling their Soviet era nuclear arsenal. Little did they know that agreement wasn't worth the paper it was printed on...
In exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons, Ukraine received financial compensation, as well as the security guarantees of the Budapest Memorandum.
Who was president when Ukraine was invaded and left high and dry?
Hopefully, Rudy goes over and gets some useful information on Biden and company.
