Sure looks like there was a quid pro quo between Burisma and the Biden’s. Where’s the interest/outrage from the Democrats and Main Stream Media?
Hunter, Biden received tens of millions from Romania and China as documented by Representative Comer’s investigation. Comer’s investigation continues and is indicating they are close to being able to share the detail information on the payments from Ukraine and Russia to Hunter Biden.
Dec. 4, 2015, Hunter Biden, Archer, I’m and two Burisma executives — Mykola Zlocevsky and Vadym Pozharskyi — were at the Four Seasons Hotel in Dubai having drinks following a Burisma board meeting. Zlochevsky told Hunter Biden that Burisma needed “help from the United States government” to deal with the pressure the company was under from Viktor Shokin, a prosecutor in Ukraine who was allegedly investigating Burisma. Hunter Biden was told to call “D.C.,”
Three days later Joe Biden traveled to Ukraine. His visit to the country was originally announced Nov. 13, 2015 to unveil an extra $1 billion in loan guarantees to help Ukraine’s economy rebuild. Instead Biden gave a speech about how corrupt Shokin, the country’s general prosecutor was, and threatened the Ukrainian government that the United States would withhold the $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees if Ukraine did not fire Shokin.
Shokin was removed from office in March 2016.
In January 2018, Joe Biden boasted about getting Shokin fired by threatening that the White House would renege on its commitment to provide aid: “I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. He got fired."
[NOTE-similar to Russia (and China), Ukraine is a kleptocracy - a government where the powerful leaders can extract money from the country and the economy. And while there may be hope that Ukraine was moving to a much more normal democracy eventually, there is no evidence that Ukraine wasn’t and still isn’t full of kleptocrats. What you will often see in kleptocracies is when there are new leaders in power they will prosecute previous leaders for the corruption.]
The important thing to note is Ukraine is full of corruption, and in kleptocracies “corruption” is how the powers that be can punish/remove anyone else of power.
