Bombshell documents reveal the Big Lie behind the Trump Ukraine impeachment
American Thinker ^ | 2 Feb, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 02/02/2022 5:28:45 AM PST by MtnClimber

When President Trump called Ukraine’s president in the summer of 2020, he asked—without conditions—that Ukraine investigate whether then-Veep Biden used taxpayer money to force the discharge of a Ukrainian prosecutor who was coming close to Burisma Holdings, which had Hunter Biden on the payroll. Democrats called this an illegal quid pro quo and impeached Trump. It now turns out that Biden was lying big time when he claimed he needed to fire a “corrupt” prosecutor. In fact, the Obama State Department strongly supported the prosecutor. Biden was just giving Burisma its money’s worth.

In 2016, Ukraine’s Prosecutor General, Viktor Shokin, was investigating Burisma Holdings. Not coincidentally, Hunter Biden, whose father was then Obama’s vice president, was on the company’s board and getting $83,000 a month. Hunter did not speak a word of Ukrainian and knew nothing about Ukraine or the oil and gas business. His only benefit to Burisma was his father.

Most people might not have known or cared about these facts were it not for Biden’s inability to resist puffing about himself. He showed up at a talk at the Council of Foreign Relations in 2018 and boasted about how he had bullied Ukraine’s government into firing Shokin before he would release foreign aid money upon which Ukraine depended:

SNIP

Now, though, thanks to documents that Just The News and Southeastern Legal Foundation obtained FOIA, we know that Biden’s statement was—surprise!—a bald-faced lie. The State Department was completely supportive of Shokin:

“We have been impressed with the ambitious reform and anti-corruption agenda of your government,” then-Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland personally wrote Shokin in an official letter dated June 9, 2015 that was delivered to the prosecutor two days later by then-U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt.

Will the MSM be embarrased that their hoax against Trump and their coverup of truth against Biden? NOPE, not at all.

Trump, sacked by nefarious process, a disloyal party and an ungrateful populace.

Nope. They just won't report it. Nothing to see here, just move along.

Would that mean the state dept. didn’t know about the Biden scam. Doubt that. More like Nuland was writing to cover her tail.

And now Biden has put the 6th fleet under the control of Nato, and is ramping up his rhetoric about going to war against Russia to defend tiny little Ukraine. What is so important that Biden is willing to sacrifice sailors, and possible US troops to protect in Ukraine? What is so valuable that we would risk a nuclear war with Russia? What deep dark secrets are there?

And if the state dept. knew about the Biden’s payoff, and did nothing, what are the chances there was a heck of a lot more paying off going on. In fact, Ukraine had become a giant DNC bank account. That’s why Ukraine was even on anyone’s radar to begin with.

This makes sense. Put two aircraft carriers in the Black Sea and attack Russian troops. Then watch as your sitting ducks get sunk and you start a nuclear war in retaliation.

Or Plan B. Shoot all the war mongering neocons and stay home.

Knowing and having evidence are not the same.

Rudy made several trips to Ukraine but I’m sad to say, apparently obtained no evidence. Burisma was the lead corporate entity that received the money. We can say with certainty that the money was dissipated paying invoices of numerous corporations, that in turn paid invoices falling due etc, all of which are located out of the USA

Where the money was gathered is untraceable and unknown. The result is that there was no evidence and thus no crime

Joe is an old Neocon, and he wants to destroy Russia for his legacy. However, I think scripture predicts this is a loose loose action, where “fire rains down on the coastal cities”. Israel understand scripture and they have been quietly handing out protective wear and masks. They anticipate a nuclear strike soon. They have no confidence in Biden or Putin.

You're talking about the kind of people who continue to work and show their face after being caught masturbating during a Zoom meeting.

Of course they won’t. To paraphrase the late crooked-as-a-dogs-hind-leg Harry Reid, Biden won, didn’t he?

They are proud of their hoax lies, it's what they do.

Yes, Rudy was on the trail and like Trump had to be reliant on many people’s cooperation and support for his efforts to succeed. Like the election fraud, IMO there is so much more going on that accounts for Ukraine being on our radar (even back when Pailin got grief for talking about it). If it weren’t for dems fear of Trump and conservative accountability coming back to Washington, I doubt what Biden’s people are doing with Ukraine would be happening now. I think it’s a giant coverup operation.

Biden is senile. Covid is the last thing they should worry about.
His brain is mush. He hides. Does not do frequent Press Questions.
And when he does he calls on pre arranged reporters and has notes
to respond to their questions.

In my view, there is no clear definition of “Ukraine”. It keeps shifting literally from day to day.
