Top Diplomat Testified That Obama Admin Orchestrated Ukraine Prosecutor’s Firing
The Federalist ^

Posted on 10/16/2019 2:14:09 PM PDT by hotsteppa

A top U.S. diplomat and expert on Ukraine testified to Congress yesterday that the Obama administration — with former Vice President Joe Biden as its point man — orchestrated the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating a company connected to the Biden family, sources familiar with the testimony told The Federalist.

The testimony of George Kent, a State Department official who works on the agency’s Ukraine portfolio, directly contradicts claims that the Obama administration was merely following the lead of the so-called international community in demanding the firing of Viktor Shokin, a controversial Ukrainian prosecutor who was reportedly investigating Burisma, a global energy company long suspected of corruption and money laundering. In 2014, Burisma paid Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, tens of thousands of dollars to sit on its board despite the younger Biden’s complete lack of expertise or professional experience running a multi-national oil and gas concern.

The leftist media will chase down Obama and demand answers in 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - oh forget it.

Biden's defense all along has been his claim that the prosecutor deserved to be fired...and of course the media tries to back him up. It's their only alternative because otherwise they would have nothing to use against Trump.

Hunter Biden cited as his qualifications for being appointed to the Burisma board being a lawyer and being on the board of Amtrak.

I assume he got the Amtrak position for the same reason he got the Burisma position...to curry favor with his father.

Shut up. You are a racist or something. This was already investigated. Nothing to see. Move on. Oh look, a squirrel.

Someone has got to go into self defense mode and shut Schiff up, or there are going to be many more of these discoveries. Apparently they are not intelligent to realize the hole they are digging for themselves.

No wonder the rats want to keep the testimony hidden.

“Trump has set us up the Bomb!”

For great justice.

Make your time.

Maybe the Federalist got the information from Kent. He is the only person in the room free to talk about his testimony. If I hear a Trump ally will testify, I assume the testimony will be beneficial to the President’s position.

Yes. Hunter Biden completely debunked all that stuff with his interview. That interview will be heralded as the last word on it. Only a crazed white nationalist extremist would want to pursue it further.

Uh, lawyers don't ask a question unless they know the answer. As lawyers, is this the answer they were expecting? If so, they are morons to ask it. If not, they are morons. In either case, they are terrible lawyers.

Yeah, it’s all going to funnel up to Obama but presidents, especially the first black one are out of bounds.

Trump is lining all the pins up and taking them out from long range. He will be all but unopposed in the 2020 election.

Monumental landslide.
