Ukrainian prosecutor tied to Trump scandal says Hunter Biden 'did not violate anything' (Spin)
The Hill ^ | 09/26/19 | John Bowden

Ukraine's former prosecutor general said in a new interview that his investigation into Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, was abandoned after turning up no evidence of wrongdoing on Hunter Biden's behalf.

Yuri Lutsenko, who resigned earlier this year and now at the center of the scandal surrounding President Trump's efforts to convince Ukraine's president to launch an investigation into Joe Biden, denied that his investigation was ended due to pressure from the Obama administration in an interview with The Washington Post.

“From the perspective of Ukrainian legislation, he did not violate anything,” Lutsenko said of Hunter Biden. “Hunter Biden cannot be responsible for violations of the management of Burisma that took place two years before his arrival."

Lutsenko told the Post that until his resignation in August, he never received any aid from U.S. investigators, even following Trump's July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky which has become the center of House Democrats' impeachment inquiry.

“No American groups came to Ukraine for an investigation," he said.

But I guess we’ll never know because Joe Biden extorted the government to fire the prosecutor investigating his son.

Yeah I think he is the approved Biden replacement sent out to muddy the waters. No wonder he resigned when the new government came it.

Note, this is NOT the prosecutor that Biden got fired. That fellow’s name is Viktor Shokin.

And no wonder the media went to him looking for comment. They knew he was a "solid guy" as Biden said...

Not really. Most countries including allegedly corrupt ones like Ukraine has by far higher legal standards and their societies are much less tolerant about brazen corruption. Of course they are corrupt but they invent schemes for coverup and overall not near as brazen as US politicians who seem like don’t care at all.
If Biden-like scandal took place anywhere outside US or sub-Saharan Africa it would have been guaranteed prison for everyone involved.

That is the question: Why did Burisma hire Biden? - for what purpose? - how did Biden’s name become known to them? - how did the salary paid compare to others doing comparable work? - etc.

Of course Hunter didn’t commit a crime in the Ukraine but that’s not the issue. Did Hunter and his pop commit a crime in the US?

How much income earned in Ukraine was hidden in offshore accounts and not reported to the IRS?

This is not the prosecutor who was fired. This is the Biden stooge. This is the prosecutor that was appointed after Biden fired the other prosecutor.

Look at Pelosi’s stray comment from years ago on “Panama.”
