Joe Biden’s 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived....
“scandal-free Obama” named as being in on the shakedown

Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.
CAUGHT ON TAPE 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 then-President Obama was in on the threat.
Interviews with a half-dozen senior Ukrainian officials confirm Biden’s account, though they claim the pressure was applied over several months in late 2015 and early 2016, not just six hours of one dramatic day. (Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
Sniff - Mmmmmmmm! Love the smell of their fear...
What gives me even higher confidence that Barr will “blow the lid off the entire mess with Russia” is where we are in the 2020 election cycle.
The coup details will be elegantly exposed to the public by around November 2020 — just in time for Trump’s MAGAnificent victory and GOP take over of the House. Count on it!
I do believe this is the case with Sessions. Sessions did a lot to go after MS-13 during his watch. There was only so much he could do with Mueller in there.
And Barr seems like the kind of guy we need to level Justice on the coup d’etat conspirators.
How far down the rabbit hole could this go.
I mean what was that Hillary handing the Russian an Emergency Stop or “Kill” switch?
I do indeed.
If Obama is intimately involved, then we MUST include the tech companies. Remember that now (in)famous photo where a number of then-CEO’s of huge tech companies had a toast with President Obama from February 17, 2011?
Agreed!!
With good reason: the CEO’s at that dinner included the then CEO’s of Apple, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Twitter and Yahoo!-—all companies with large Internet presences today.
