Oh, here's the video you asked for, where Biden brags about bribing Ukraine to drop the investigation into the company his son worked for. I guess technically they didn't "drop" the investigation, they just fired the investigator-and made sure he was replaced with one that DID drop the investigation.

Getting a corrupt prosecutor fired was the job Biden was given. The World Bank, IMF, and every other major financial institution wanted Shokin fired and this was BEFORE Burisma holdings was being investigated. If Biden did something shady why would he be bragging about it on camera?

NASCAR fans may love the sound of the engines at a race track but listening to an engine isn`t really a turn on for most people. Electric cars really are happening.

Designating ANYONE that doesn't serve your purpose as "corrupt" is pretty convenient, when you want to cover up your own corruption, innit?



P.S. You don't even have your facts straight.

Lets face it, he ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Biden made sure Shokin was fired because he was digging into corruption at Burisma. And made sure he was replaced with an investigator that would never go anywhere with the corruption charges. Notice how they just disappeared after Shokin was fired?

Gmagoo has their facts straight.

Shokin is as a pro-Russia stooge and the west wanted him gone. He wasn’t investigating corruption; the cases were there but he wasn’t doing anything, he was corrupt.

China also offered to build a pipeline in Canada to take Alberta oil to ports on the BC coast. Those plans were shelved when the Keystone Pipeline was approved. Guess what Biden did on his first day in office?

China's investment in the Biden family is paying off bigly.

Cute story. Might almost be believable if the guy Biden had him replaced with actually pressed charges against Burisma. Instead-he dropped the investigation. Funny how the leftists always leave that part out.

There you have it.

ALL that mattered, was that Shokin was perceived by the Western institutions as "pro-Russian," and that's why he was designated as "corrupt."
The other prosecutors that followed were even more corrupt, but that didn't matter already, because they were "pro-western" and thus corruption didn't already count.

Truth of the matter is, that you can't fight corruption in the country run by the oligarchy, ( which is supported by the West,) with constant export of capital ( which is supported by the West) and claim that you "fight the corruption," substituting one inconvenient official for another, more convenient one.

What you CAN DO however, is to fish in the muddy waters and let your dear son to make millions in the midst of this corruption.

And that's what Biden did.

And that's a fact.

Any proofs by any chance ( other than regurgitating the MSN-CNN propaganda)

The seditionist Qanon nut should be expelled from Congress.

If you recall-this is exactly what the Dems did in 2017 to Trump. That of course was just the start of their 4 year effort to remove a democratically elected president from office and overturn the will of the electorate. Four solid years. Here's to four more of the same, if we can find some more GOP congressmen and senators that have the courage and integrity of this woman.

I call this the "Karma is a B" act. Let the games begin.
Wonderful
