Viktor Shokin says Hunter Biden was recruited by Burisma to ‘provide protection’ while company engaged in ‘illegal activities’
New York Post ^ | August 26, 20 | Patrick Reilly

Posted on 08/26/2023 7:10:46 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Fired Ukraine prosecutor general Viktor Shokin claimed then-second son Hunter Biden was brought on to the Ukrainian gas company Burisma’s board in order to “provide protection” for CEO and founder Mykola Zlochevsky from criminal investigations.

“I have no doubt that there were illegal activities engaged in by Burisma,” he told Fox News’ “One Nation” host Brian Kilmeade through a translator in an interview that aired on Saturday night.

“It continued to expand and Zlochevsky, who at the time held the post of minister … started bringing in people who could provide protection for him. Hunter Biden was among them and the corruption network expanded as a result,” he said. Kyiv’s former top prosecutor has emerged as a key figure in the investigation into the Biden family foreign business dealings and accusations of bribery. Shokin’s accusations, if deemed credible, could add fire to calls for a House impeachment inquiry into the president — which could happen as soon as next month.

.. and President Donald Trumps call was about this. The very call that sparked off impeachment.

And President Trumps call to Georgia was the same.. to find the criminals responsible.

Hunter is always upfront about the Biden crime family demanding protection money.

The poster girl for affirmative action, Fulton County
DA Fani Willis, charged Trump with RICO and conspiracy
for daring to use if, and, and, but, in a sentence.


Because Pres Trump’s priorities are unquestionably (a) the interests of the American people and (b) the safety and security of the country, his phone call to Zelensky was professional, cordial, no threats, no pressure and NO quid pro quo (as lying scumbag Adam Schiff and the Democrats want you to believe).

OTOH, unelected Hunter Biden blithely met with the “impeach Trump” Congressional team...... as if the filthy cokehead whoremonger was entitled to a have a say in impeaching Trump. More likely the no-good Hunter was a plant, to make sure daddy got his say.

Remember, at the same time,
<><>the FBI had the filthy Hunter’s “laptop from hell”
<><>verifying electronically codifed numerous crimes WRT the criminal Bidens in Ukraine
<><>elected Democrats were persecuting Trump with a falsified impeachment investigation.
<><>as Pelosi and Schiff lied on the House floor about Trump’s official phone call to Zelensky.

Seamus Bruner found yet more evidence on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Bruner, Director of
Research at the Government Accountability Institute, has been on the Hunter Biden story since 2017
and “may have spent more time on Hunter’s laptop than Hunter Biden himself,” Schweizer quips.

Bruner just unearthed evidence that further establishes the direct connection
between Hunter Biden’s being named to the board of directors of Burisma and his father
then Vice President.

The VP was so sure of himself, he actually threatened on video to withhold $1 billion in mandated U.S. aid to the Ukrainian govt unless it fired the prosecutor who was then investigating Burisma and his son Hunter Biden for corruption.

I also find interesting the fact that Hunter admitted behavior was basically the same as Manafort’s.
Both made big money in Ukraine, did not pay taxes on them and failed to register as agents of foreigner entity.
Manafort got a book thrown on him, while Hunter so far got nothing!

In America today, cops and prosecutors can charge anyone with anything. Hopefully, we have gotten to the point that legislatures will limit the immunity granted for malicious prosecution, and prosecutors imploring judges to "legislate from the bench" to exceed what the legislatures intended to be a crime. Conservatives need to understand the link between the two.

So the take-away from this story (and the upcoming part 2 from John Solomon) is that the State Department was negotiating with the Ukraine Government to give them a new loan and were on track to complete the deal when Biden unilaterally made the loan contingent on the firing of Shokin?

The State Department was caught off-guard when Biden "called an audible" at the last minute but were now stuck with it?

I assume we're going to find out in part 2 that Biden did this to protect the Biden Crime Family's source of income from Burisma?

Thanks for the summary reminder. And despite all of this evidence many Americans will never believe the truth and some don’t even care. Evil of the highest proportions going on right now in our world.

They're all in on it because they are not just protecting the Bidens, they are also protecting John Kerry.

Hunter Biden and Devon Archer were partnered with Chris Heinz, John Kerry's stepson. So far, they've been successful in keeping Heinz' involvement out of the news.

If the full story of Rosemont Seneca Partners and their involvement with the Chinese government comes out, that has bad implications for John Kerry, Teresa Heinz-Kerry, the Heinz Foundation, and who knows what else?

That means that Obama's VP and both of his Secretaries of State (Clinton and Kerry) were involved in criminal activities and cover-ups. Who knows how much Obama himself was involved? With all the shady dealings going on with Obama's top Cabinet officers, perhaps Obama himself really was involved in the selling of his Senate seat that Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich took the fall for?

Nobody wants to find out. Nobody in Congress wants to be the investigating body that incriminates the first black President of involvement in bribery and cover-ups run by his top officials.

https://oversight.house.gov/blog/joe-biden-lied-at-least-15-times-about-his-familys-business-schemes/

<><>he never spoke to his family about their business dealings;
<><>his family never received $1 million in payments through a third party;
<><>his son never made money in China; his son’s dealings were ethical;
<><>and his son did nothing wrong.

Below are 16 times that Joe Biden lied about his family’s dealings over the years including lying about not talking to his son about his business dealings.

August 28, 2019

Then-Presidential Candidate Joe Biden: “First of all, I have never discussed with my son, or my brother, or anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses, period. What I will do is the same thing we did in our administration. There will be an absolute wall between the personal and private, and the government. There wasn’t any hint of scandal at all when we were there. And I will impose the same kind of strict, strict rules. That is why I have never talked with my son or my brother, or anyone else in the distant family about their business interests, period.”

September 21, 2019

Reporter: “Have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings?”

Joe Biden: “I’ve never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.”

October 4, 2019

Reporter: “Excuse me. There was a photo of you golfing with your son Hunter and his business partner Devon Archer. Do you stand by your statement that you did not discuss any of your son’s overseas business dealings?”

Joe Biden: “Yes, I stand by that statement.”

October 9, 2019

Joe Biden: “I don’t discuss business with my son. I didn’t know that was the case when in fact I found out after the fact. And I don’t discuss things with my son or my family because I don’t want to have any knowledge of any, I don’t want to be accused of well you talk with your son, you talk with your whomever.”

October 15, 2019

Joe Biden: “I never discussed a single thing with my son about anything having do with Ukraine. No one has indicated I have. We’ve always kept everything separate.”

October 16, 2019

Joe Biden: “I never discussed with my son anything having to do with what was going on in Ukraine. That’s a fact.”

October 27, 2019

Joe Biden: “I’ve never discussed my business or their business, my sons and daughters. And I’ve never discussed them because they know where I have to do my job and that’s it.”

October 29, 2019

Joe Biden: “I’ve never discussed my son’s business with him.”

April 5, 2022

Reporter: “The President has said that he never spoke to his son about his overseas business dealings. Is that still the case?”

Jen Psaki: “Yes.”

June 26, 2023

Reporter: “Did you lie about never speaking to Hunter about his business dealings?”

President Biden: “No.”

August 9, 2023

Reporter: “There’s this testimony now where one of your son’s former business associates is claiming that you were on speakerphone a lot with them talking business. Is that what?”

President Biden: “I never talked business with anybody, and I knew you’d have a lousy question.”

FACT: Evidence reveals then-Vice President Biden spoke, dined, and had coffee with Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates. The FBI’s recorded interview with Rob Walker, a Biden family associate, also reveals Joe Biden attended a meeting about CEFC, a Chinese entity. Additionally, Hunter Biden alleged his father was in the room when he demanded payment from a CEFC associate.

Then-Vice President Biden dined at the exclusive Cafe Milano with corrupt foreign oligarchs who funneled millions to Hunter Biden.

The #JihadJunta will never give up the power they seized in the 2020 Coup d’etat. Period. That is what we are facing and will be until they are defeated and removed from power. It runs deep, very deep.
