Lindsey Graham Sells What’s Left Of His Soul And Announces Investigation Into Biden
- Thread starter Cinnabar
- Start date
n September 2015, then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt delivered a speech calling for Zlochevsky to be investigated. Upset that the Prosecutor General’s office was doing so little to combat corruption, Pyatt said:
Rather than supporting Ukraine’s reforms and working to root out corruption, corrupt actors within the Prosecutor-General’s Office are making things worse by openly and aggressively undermining reform.
They intimidate and obstruct the efforts of those working honestly on reform initiatives within that same office. The United States stands behind those who challenge these bad actors.
Following Pyatt’s speech, the Prosecutor General, Viktor Shokin, opened an investigation into Burisma.
Investigative journalist John Solomon published a comprehensive timeline of key events in Ukraine starting from February 2014 when Biden became the “point man.” It can be viewed here.
(Note: Graham also uses Solomon’s timeline in his description of events.)
Throughout 2015, Biden remained in steady contact with new Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko through a series of phone calls and several meetings.
On December 8, 2015, the New York Times published an article which said that Prosecutor General Shokin’s office was investigating Burisma Holdings and its founder Zlochevsky. It said that Hunter Biden’s participation on Burisma’s board is undercutting Joe Biden’s anticorruption message in Ukraine.”
Joe Biden then learned that his son was about to be questioned by the prosecutor general’s office and the pressure from Biden (and the Obama administration) to prevent this from happening began.
In January 2016, the White House invited Ukrainian prosecutors to Washington to meet their US counterparts to discuss ways to fight corruption.
Solomon described this meeting in a recent article:
The meeting, promised as training, turned out to be more of a pretext for the Obama administration to pressure Ukraine’s prosecutors to drop an investigation into the Burisma Holdings gas company that employed Hunter Biden and to look for new evidence in a then-dormant criminal case against eventual Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, a GOP lobbyist.
U.S. officials “kept talking about how important it was that all of our anti-corruption efforts be united,” said Andrii Telizhenko, the former political officer in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington who organized and attended the meetings.
Solomon spoke to Nazar Kholodnytsky, Ukraine’s chief anti-corruption prosecutor, who had attended the meeting, shortly afterward. Kholodnytsky told him he saw evidence in Ukraine of political meddling in the U.S. election.
On February 2, 2016, the Prosecutor General ordered a raid on Zlochevsky’s home. On February 4, the Prosecutor General announced the raid. That same day, Hunter Biden called the State Department.
On the 11th, the 18th and the 19th of February, Joe Biden called President Poroshenko. Graham sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday seeking transcripts or readouts of those calls. I’m sure Pompeo would be happy to assist. But it’s likely this request will get stonewalled by long-time State Department insiders.
I’ve included Solomon’s timeline below from February 24 through March 31st to give you an idea of the communications. Throughout this period, there is a flurry of activity involving Joe Biden, representatives of Burisma and the State Department, and Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s business partner.
The timeline shows Joe Biden traveling to Ukraine on March 31st. There’s no indication he has made an earlier trip to Ukraine in March, which is when he allegedly made his threat. (I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you don’t get the billion.)

Biden was sent for US--the US, EU and IMF. I'll even assume NATO had some input. What was he supposed to do? Say no?

Leftists' Fake Impeachment FAILS TO REMOVE President Trump from office.
The only thing warming you up is the hot piss running down your leg.
Another "DEBUNKED 'CONSPIRACY THEORY' ".....no doubt...just like when Trump claimed that the Obama Administration was spying on him and his people....yeah...like that....
HEAVEN FORBID THE SLEAZOCRATS BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR CORRUPTION....
Hunter Biden-linked company received $130M in special federal loans while Joe Biden was vice president
An investment firm linked to Hunter Biden received over $130 million in federal bailout loans while his father Joe Biden was vice president and routed profits through a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, according to federal banking and corporate records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
Financial experts said the offshore corporate structure could have been used to shield earnings from U.S. taxes.
Rosemont Capital, an investment firm at the center of Hunter Biden’s much-scrutinized financial network, was one of the companies approved to participate in the 2009 federal loan program known as the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF.
Under the program, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Bank issued billions of dollars in highly favorable loans to select investors who agreed to buy bonds that banks were struggling to offload, including bundled college and auto loans.
According to federal records, 177 firms participated in TALF, many of them well connected in Washington or on Wall Street. For investors, there was little risk and a high chance of reward. The Federal Reserve funded as much as 90% of the investments. If the bonds were profitable, the borrowers benefited. If not, the department agreed to take over the depreciated assets with no repercussions for the borrowers.

Your party is in the process of being flushed down the toilet.
the point is Nuland acted on Hunters phone call to State to call off Shokin
( this is the same bitch that said "fuck the EU" during the 2014 Euromaidan -so she has no compunction in meddling in EU/Ukraine affairs)
Then Biden called Poroshenko 3 times and went to Uk.. to personally get him fired.
Hunter was hired for his name and US State contacts. It's even worse then that according to Solomons documentation
but these are facts

Indeed...he's in full panic mode....
Have you been watching Mr. Adam? He's in full mentalmeltdownmode...I honestly feel sorry for him...hahahahahahahaha .... Lou Dobbs?
He looks very confident. Has proved his case with witness after witness. Red Team is like Holocaust Deniers. No matter what facts you present, they don't believe it.
Each and every one of the GOP pile of crap crime syndicate members knows that Trump is as guilty as all hell. What scum of the earth has infiltrated the once legit part.

Well, since Trump’s defense rests on whether Hunter is dirty it only makes sense to investigate the Biden’s and Ukraine.
In other words, whether or not Democrats send articles of impeachment to the Senate, Graham is advocating for an investigation anyway. The investigation is inevitable if there’s going to be a Senate trial.
In a less insane political environment, before moving to impeach Trump over asking the Ukrainians to investigate the Biden’s, someone would have stepped up and said ‘hold on just a second, how do we know the Biden’s *weren’t* mixed up with corrupt Ukrainians?’
‘If it comes out that either Biden was involved with corrupt shenanigans this thing could blow up in our faces’.
That only makes sense, right? If the Biden’s are proven clean THEN you proceed to impeach Trump for asking the Ukrainians to investigate them.
The utter hubris of today’s democrats is astounding.

He's loud and long-winded and thinks this is his show-lol....that's not "confident"....that's desperately trying to drown out the facts..or roll past them....we're all tired of his game...
If he's "proved his case", this would be over....wouldn't it?
Yet, here we are...You're going to have to show me this "proof"...I don't see anything impeachable...did I miss something?
Don't disrespect the "holocaust"....you're better than that...
