Phone Calls Between Biden And Ukraine's Poroshenko Leaked; Details $1 Billion "Quid Pro Quo" To Fire Burisma Prosecutor
Zero Hedgr ^

Leaked phone calls between Joe Biden and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko explicitly detail the quid-pro-quo arrangement to fire former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin - who Poroshenko admits did nothing wrong - in exchange for $1 billion in US loan guarantees (which Biden openly bragged about in January, 2018).

There is nothing in the recordings that can be used to attack Trump, therefore it’s a big nothingburger. Discredited, unsupported, anecdotal, debunked. Notice the story is only on right fringe/alternative media. MSM will ignore this, or say it supports the Obama regime readouts of the calls and represents no QPQ.

Biden is on video 2+ years ago saying exactly this.

So why is this proof and the video isn’t?

More talk of bribery and the use of US taxpayer dollars. That’s enough to sink the USS Biden.

“..Everybody in Ukraine was corrupt except this guy? ...”

Yes! But the difference between the Ukes and us is they openly acknowledge it and have actively been trying to clean up their act.

It’s hard to do when dealing with billions of US dollars and corrupt US politicians demanding their cut.I am of the opinion the Ukraine has been a cash cow for US politicians ever since the breakup of the USSR.

Truth is, so long as this is discretely handled in front of a grand jury, until November 4, they can’t say squat. That’s how these things are supposed to happen. That’s probably how the phone call request to “look into it” would have been handled, had not Schiff-head and his merry band of fake whistle blowers and fake IGs and fake witnesses not made a three-ring circus out of it.

Too clean on Biden’s end on AF2-— imho, for them to have come from a Ukrainian in Poroshenko’s gang. Not too fine a point— that leaker is a target for the Zolochevsky KGB pres/owner of Burisma (former). He is in Moscow,and Poroshenko said to still be on the run since his lost election. How it is in Ukraine that still has the russian spetznaz and in country there is still pro russian ukrainian militia (contained to some extent, with our current help under Trump).

This has been an open and on going investigation and concern in the Ukraine for a year or more. Here is an article from November, 2019. https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/press-conference/625831.html

It’s nothing new, and outside of a few fringe websites, this story doesn’t exist. Still the same narrative that the firing was part of the IMF/USA requirement to “Clean up the corruption” before the loans would go through. We all know of the IMF/Obama/Bidens/PrivatBank/Burisma corruption, but there really isn’t anything in these calls outside of previous positions on both sides. If the press went after it, they could damage him. But they won’t unless their masters tell them to. If this were Trump rather than Biden, Schiff would already be drafting new articles of impeachment.

This is old news!

It's an old story but new news. With this release we have the audio of the following conversation.

"Yesterday I met with General Prosecutor Shokin," says Poroshenko. And despite of the fact that we didn't have any corruption charges, we don't have any information about him doing something wrong, I specially asked him - no, it was day before yesterday - I specially asked him to resign. In, uh, as his, uh, position as a state person. And despite of the fact that he has a support in the power. And as a finish of my meeting with him, he promised to give me the statement on resignation. And one hour ago he bring me the written statement of his resignation. And this is my second step for keeping my promises."

To which Biden replied: "I agree."

Four weeks later on March 22, 2016, Biden says "Tell me that there is a new government and a new Prosecutor General. I am prepared to do a public signing of the commitment for the billion dollars."

Poroshenko tells Biden that one of the leading candidates is the man who replaced Shokin, Yuriy Lutsenko who later said in a deposition that Hunter Biden and his business partners were receiving millions of dollars in compensation from Burisma.

Then, on May 13, 2016, Biden congratulates Poroshenko on "getting the new Prosecutor General," saying that it will be "critical for him to work quickly to repair the damage Shokin did."

"And I'm a man of my word," Biden adds. "And now that the new Prosecutor General is in place, we're ready to move forward to signing that one billion dollar loan guarantee."
