Ukraine is back in the
news. President Volodymyr Zelensky said
Wednesday prosecutors have opened a criminal inquiry into tapes that were leaked featuring former
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and former Vice President Joe Biden discussing
a $1 billion loan guarantee in exchange for “keeping Burisma’s schemes and
international corruption quiet.”
Biden is also on
another tape boasting about the quid
pro quo in 2018 linking the firing of Prosecutor General Victor Shokin to the
loan. The quid pro quo was hatched
solely to prevent investigating Burisma, on whose board his son Hunter Biden served.
Biden can be heard making the following comments in the
recording:
“This is getting very, very close. What I don’t want to have happen. I don’t want Trump to get into the position where he thinks he’s about to buy into a situation where the financial system is about to collapse, where he is going to be looking to pour more money into Ukraine. That’s how he’ll think about it before he gets sophisticated enough to know details.”
Democrats
are painting this revelation as a distraction and Republicans should be focusing on the federal
response to the Chinese Lung Rot pandemic.
Naturally, the Biden campaign denies any wrongdoing on the part of
Basement Biden.
