holy cripes. a long while ago I tipped "Just The News"(to:John Solomon) that they had their joe biden timeline wrong re: the "well son-of-a-bitch...story"
looks like they still have it wrong.
I saved no proof that i contacted them.
I outlined it here:
Biden may have threatened Ukraine to fire the prosecutor,(I doubt that story) but it couldn’t have happened the way he said and when he said he it did.
Biden said he flew to Ukraine. While in Ukraine he said:
"I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time. “ When did this happen?
Joe Biden did not visit Ukraine on any day in March 2016 or any day in February of 2016. (according to the Official WH schedule)I scrolled thru all the VP's Schedules from 2015 thru 2016

For Joe Biden’s CFR “well, son of a bitch” story to even work with all the correct characters in place, he had to be talking about his Ukraine visit the week of 12/6/2015.

"With this announcement, the United States now has committed $2 billion in loan guarantees and nearly $760 million in security, programmatic, and technical assistance to Ukraine since the end of the Yanukovych regime in 2014. “ Biden guarantees them the loan and Sorkin has not yet been fired.
Shokin's firing timeline
16 February 2016:Shokin’s deputy Yury Sevruk told the Kyiv Post that Shokin had been on vacation since Feb. 15.
16 February 2016: Shokin submitted a letter of resignation.
Shokin resigns 17 February 2016: an official states he has taken a paid leave.
Shokin on Leave 19 February 2016: press secretary Sviatoslav Tsegolko wrote on twitter they had received an official letter of resignation from Shokin.
Poroshenko Announces Shokin's Resignation 16 March 2016: an official of the prosecution office stated that Shokin had resumed his work
28 March 2016:
protesters called for Shokin's firing. 29 March 2016:
Shokin was formally dismissed in a parliamentary vote. Shokin says his last day was 04/03/2016
Ukraine received the guarantees in Dec 2015 and Sorkin wasn't fired, so Biden's story could not have taken place then, even though he said it was on a Ukraine trip.
The only other time his story could have happened was during the 3rd 1 billion loan talks with the Biden-Poroshenko meeting 3/31/2016
in Wash. D.C..By this time, 03/31/2016, Shokin supposedly already was gone.https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/03/31/readout-vice-president-bidens-meeting-president-petro-poroshenko-ukraine“The Vice President welcomed the efforts of President Poroshenko to form a stable, reform-oriented government, and stressed that this step, as well as the enactment of needed reforms, are critical to unlocking international economic assistance, including the third $1 billion U.S. loan guarantee.“ So when did Biden's threat "well son-of-a-bitch" story happen ?
It might have if it is based on the meeting of 03/31/2016(but Biden said it was on a trip to Ukraine) and Sorkin didn't leave until 04/03/2016
I say it never happened.
