Former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign on Tuesday released a video purporting to explain “what really happened in Ukraine” as the campaign pushes back on expected GOP arguments during President Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate.
In the four-minute video, Biden’s rapid response director Andrew Bates calls former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin “the embodiment of the corruption that has been hurting Ukraine’s government for a very long time” and cites calls for his firing from the international community and Republican senators.
“Joe Biden is the person who got him out of office. It was a monumental, international, bipartisan, anti-corruption victory,” Bates says in the video, noting that Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and then-Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) all signed onto the effort.
The aide called claims by Trump that Biden’s efforts to remove Shokin were an attempt to protect his son Hunter Biden from investigation “horses---t,” noting that Shokin’s removal was official U.S. policy and that Shokin "wasn't investigating" Burisma, the natural gas company on whose board the younger Biden sat.
The video comes shortly after a memo to media organizations by the Biden campaign calling on journalists not to reference allegations against Biden without also saying they have been debunked.

The new title is “The Sniffer Does the Ukraine”
“” “” And the new AG Lutsenko should have opened an investigation into that which Shokin wasn’t investigating. Instead, Lutsenko closed the investigation into Burisma and Soros’ NGO.”” “”
Lutsenko was a ‘people’ s attorney’. He wasn’t a lawyer but an electronic engineer by profession. Only in Ukraine. The only things he understood are social justice and political correctness based on Nazi values.
I just watched the video and it is extraordinary weak like a typical left-wing propaganda. It consists a number of factual lies and biased opinions and they don’t even bother to try to connect dots and explain why. A sort of ‘current truth’ from the party organ.
