Disgusting accumulation of evidence of FBI corruption

[pjmret]

I can prove the facts I have detailed. You cannot because mere allegations, opinions, and story lines are not proof of anything.

However, there are two big problems with the narrative presented by Trump and Giuliani, according to activists in Ukraine and others.

For one thing, Ukrainian prosecutors and anti-corruption advocates who were pushing for an investigation into the dealings of Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevskiy, said the probe had been dormant long before Biden leveled his demand.

"There was no pressure from anyone from the United States" to close the case against Zlochevskiy, Vitaliy Kasko, who was a deputy prosecutor-general under Shokin and is now first deputy prosecutor-general, told Bloomberg News in May. "It was shelved by Ukrainian prosecutors in 2014 and through 2015," he added.

Activists say the case had been sabotaged by Shokin himself. As an example, they say two months before Hunter Biden joined Burisma's board, British authorities had requested information from Shokin's office as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering by Zlochevskiy. Shokin ignored them.

Kaleniuk and AntAC published a detailed timeline of events surrounding the Burisma case, an outline of evidence suggesting that three consecutive chief prosecutors of Ukraine -- first Shokin’s predecessor, then Shokin, and then his successor -- worked to bury it.

"Ironically, Joe Biden asked Shokin to leave because the prosecutor failed [to pursue] the Burisma investigation, not because Shokin was tough and active with this case," Kaleniuk said.

I can prove the facts I have detailed. You cannot because mere allegations, opinions, and story lines are not proof of anything.

But there is a long list of Western organizations, governments, and diplomats, as well as Ukrainian anti-corruption groups, that wanted to see Shokin fired.

They include the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, the U.S. government, foreign investors, and Ukrainian advocates of reform.

In a column published days after Shokin was fired in March 2016, Anders Aslund, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington, wrote that his dismissal came as no surprise.

"The amazing thing is not that he was sacked but that it has taken so long," Aslund said. "Petro Poroshenko appointed Shokin to the role in February 2015. From the outset, he stood out by causing great damage even to Ukraine's substandard legal system."


yep, he was corrupt. lol

Republicans are clearly trying to connect some dots to give an impression of malfeasance by Biden. But they are looking at the wrong dots. Nothing significant appears to have happened in February 2016 except primarily the reinstatement of a previous court order. Instead, Zlochevsky’s assets had been seized a year earlier and were only briefly not under a court order because of a prosecutorial error.
In other words, there would have been no reason for Biden to raise the supposed raid of Zlochevsky’s home in his phone calls. Moreover, as we’ve shown, Biden’s aides at the time say that neither Burisma nor Zlochevsky was raised in the calls.

yiou'll have to prove that shokin did it and the timing.
go for it.

Here are some findings in the US government report:

In 2016, Ukraine’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, had an active and ongoing investigation into Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky.10

Firm Hired by Ukraine’s Burisma Tried to Use Hunter Biden as Leverage, Documents show, THEWALL STREET JOURNAL (Nov. 5, 2019), https://www.wsj.com/articles/firm-h...bidenas-leverage-documents-show-11573009615.6
[The] U.S. and U.K. were cooperating on a case to seize [Zlochevsky’s] corrupt assets overseas (which had passed through the U.S.).” – Geoffrey Pyatt, then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Dec. 201586

Yet, while Vice-President Biden called for members of the Rada to have courage to confront corruption in Ukraine, the vice president’s staff was advising otherwise.

In his December 2015 speech at the Rada, Vice President Biden told members to have courage to confront corruption and change the course of history for their country. Yet when it came to calling out an individual whom the State Department viewed as a “corrupt” and “odious oligarch,” Vice President Biden’s staff advised him to not accuse Zlochevsky of corruption. In December 2015, while in Ukraine, Biden did not link Zlochevsky with corruption and did not demonstrate the same level of courageousness that he encouraged Ukrainian political leaders to pursue.

Several witnesses highlighted efforts by certain U.S. officials to enable a successful investigation of Zlochevsky, and also noted that the U.S. decision to condition a $1 billion loan guarantee was made in part because of the then-Ukrainian prosecutor general’s failure to pursue a case against Zlochevsky. But at the end of the day, between 2014 through 2017, despite the concerted effort of many U.S. officials, not one of the three different Ukrainian prosecutor generals held Zlochevsky accountable.
Allegations that Zlochevsky bribed Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Office. In January 2015, Kent arrived in Kyiv and learned that the U.S. embassy was not communicating with the Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO).108 Shortly after his arrival, Kent asked a Department of Justice (DOJ) official posted at U.S. Embassy Kyiv to set up a high-level meeting with the PGO. According to Kent, the goal of this meeting was for U.S. officials to raise the money-laundering case against Burisma’s owner, Zlochevsky.109

George Kent Testimony at 128-29.29secured a Feb. 3, 2015,110 appointment with the First Deputy Prosecutor General, who was the“number two prosecutor in the country at the time, Anatoliy Danylenko.”111 Kent testified that, during the Feb. 3, 2015 meeting with the PGO, he “confronted theFirst Deputy Prosecutor General, Anatoliy Danylenko, demanding to know who had paid thebribe and how much it was. I also demanded that the case against Zlochevsky beresumed.”1

Conclusion Based on Kent’s testimony, the alleged $7 million bribe from Zlochevsky to Ukraine’s PGO likely occurred while Hunter Biden was on Burisma’s board. Hunter Biden has stated that his position on the board was to “consult on matters of transparency, corporate governance and responsibility[.]”123 The Committees requested information from the FBI about what, if any, actions it took in regard to this allegation.124 The FBI has not yet responded to that request.

so a bribe happened that had nothing to do with joe biden? lol. and it didn't involve hunter either. Lots of things happened while hunter was on the board, *****. duh

but it looks like firing shokin scared zhochevsky so he felt the need to try and bribe the authorities, so biden was right to want him gone.

thanks for making my case!

Here is another report listing facts deny and which most Americans are not aware of:


Biden treated Ukraine ‘as his private property’, says purged prosecutor Shokin on Burisma scandal – UkraineGate documentary — RT World News

Biden treated Ukraine ‘as his private property’, says purged prosecutor Shokin on Burisma scandal – UkraineGate documentary

Former top Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin says he was pushed out under pressure from US Vice President Joe Biden, after he seized the assets of the oligarch behind Burisma, the gas company that employed Biden’s son.

President Donald Trump’s efforts to investigate Biden’s role in getting Shokin fired served as a pretext for his impeachment in the House of Representatives back in December. However, after Trump was acquitted by the Senate, the US media forgot about Burisma — and Ukraine.

French investigative journalist Olivier Berruyer, founder of popular anti-corruption and economics blog Les Crises, did not. In the fourth installment of his documentary series ‘UkraineGate: Inconvenient facts,’ Shokin reveals why and how he was ousted and what role the US has played in Ukraine.

Shokin tells Berruyer that Biden and the US government had approved his appointment as prosecutor-general — as, indeed, they did all major appointments in Ukraine since the 2014 Maidan upheaval — and worked with him well until he started getting too close to Burisma. He rejected reports that described his probe as “dormant.”

“Biden was acting on behalf of his own interests, and those of his family, and not in the interest of the American people,” Shokin said, adding that Barack Obama’s VP “believed that Ukraine was his private property, his fiefdom and that he could do whatever he wanted here.”

Within a few days of Shokin seizing the assets of Mykola Zlochevsky, the oligarch owner of Burisma, President Petro Poroshenko summoned him and told him to back off.

“Don’t you understand what Biden wants from you? Why are you getting into this Burisma stuff again?” Shokin quoted Poroshenko as saying. Within a few weeks, he was replaced by someone Biden called “more solid” – Yuriy Lutsenko, who had no training in law, and whom Shokin describes as a traitor to Ukraine.

The European Union has welcomed the dismissal of Ukraine's scandal-ridden prosecutor general and called for a crackdown on corruption, even as the country's political crisis deepened over efforts to form a new ruling coalition and appoint a new prime minister.

Ukraine's parliament voted overwhelmingly to fire Viktor Shokin, ridding the beleaguered prosecutor's office of a figure who is accused of blocking major cases against allies and influential figures and stymying moves to root out graft.

"This decision creates an opportunity to make a fresh start in the prosecutor general's office. I hope that the new prosecutor general will ensure that [his] office . . . becomes independent from political influence and pressure and enjoys public trust," said Jan Tombinski, the EU's envoy to Ukraine.

“There is still a lack of tangible results of investigations into serious cases . . . as well as investigations of high-level officials within the prosecutor general’s office,” he added.


the EU was in on it too? EVERYONE was protecting burisma!

hahahahahaha
hahahahhahahah

During Vitaliy Yarema’s tenure, GPO “helped” to cancel seizure of Zlochevskyi’s millions held in the UK. Later under Viktor Shokin’s and Yuriy Lutsenko’s leadership, prosecutors for some reason stopped investigating illicit origin of those funds, but started checking payment of taxes. Also Lutsenko stopped the investigation regarding one of the subsidiary companies indirectly owned by Zlochevskyi.

In the meantime, prosecutors of Nazar Kholodnytskyi “forgot” to timely submit appeal concerning other case related to companies of ex-Minister.

Solomon: These once-secret memos cast doubt on Joe Biden’s Ukraine story

BY JOHN SOLOMON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 09/26/19 6:00 PM ET

Blue Star, using the Ukrainian embassy worker it had hired, eventually scored a meeting with Sevruk on April 6, 2016, a week after Shokin’s firing. Buretta, Tramontano and Painter attended that meeting in Kiev, according to Blue Star’s memos.

Sevruk memorialized the meeting in a government memo that the general prosecutor’s office provided to me, stating that the three Americans offered an apology for the “false” narrative that had been provided by U.S. officials about Shokin being corrupt and inept.

“They realized that the information disseminated in the U.S. was incorrect and that they would facilitate my visit to the U.S. for the purpose of delivering the true information to the State Department management,” the memo stated.

The memo also quoted the Americans as saying they knew Shokin pursued an aggressive corruption investigation against Burisma’s owner, only to be thwarted by British allies: “These individuals noted that they had been aware that the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine had implemented all required steps for prosecution … and that he was released by the British court due to the underperformance of the British law enforcement agencies.”

The memo provides a vastly different portrayal of Shokin than Biden’s. And its contents are partially backed by subsequent emails from Blue Star and Buretta that confirm the offer to bring Ukrainian authorities to meet the Obama administration in Washington.

David Sakvarelidze was five months into a new job as Ukraine’s reformist deputy chief prosecutor when a witness came forward with intelligence that would change the course of everything.

The witness, a sand producer in the Kiev region, complained of men extorting hundreds of thousands of dollars. It took a while to persuade the man to give evidence. But when he did, and the investigation began, the trail led to two of the country’s highest-placed prosecutors.

A search of the men’s apartments revealed a scene that looked like a comic heist: bags full of cash, diamonds and other precious stones. But that was not the only incriminating evidence. Documents seized at the time indicated the men appeared to have a connection to the top prosecutor in the land, Viktor Shokin.

Police found copies of Shokin’s passports, property registration certificates and even his licence to carry firearms. One of the two men, it transpired, was Shokin’s former driver who had subsequently climbed the ranks behind his boss.

For Sakvarelidze, there were clear suspicions the two men may have been carrying out the business of the chief. But his attempts to investigate were frustrated. Soon, he faced a corruption investigation himself. At loggerheads with Shokin, he was pushed out of his job within the year.


yep, shokin was corrupt. lol

Even if Shokin was corrupt, that does nothing to hide the fact that Joe and Hunter Biden and other Americans were reaping millions of dollars in Burisma bribes. That is the corruption Americans are most concerned about.

 

[pjmret]

Where did that “stopped the prosecution” allegation against Joe Biden come from? According to Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, it came from Viktor Shokin, who claimed in an affidavit that he was forced out by Joe Biden “because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma.”

So, why aren’t House Republicans demanding that Shokin testify either at the hearings or by deposition in Ukraine?

The reason almost certainly is that Shokin could be exposed as corrupt and his claim could be revealed to be a sham. There are no facts to corroborate Shokin; indeed, it isn’t even clear that Shokin ever actively investigated Burisma.

If Joe Biden had wanted to protect his son from an investigation, he would have pushed hard to keep Viktor Shokin right where he was. “He was an absolutely corrupt prosecutor who had to go,” Daria Kaleniuk, the executive director of the Anti-Corruption Action Center in Kyiv, is quoted as saying of Shokin.

Shokin’s own deputy resigned, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service, because “his efforts to address government corruption had been consistently stymied by his own prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, as well as other government officials.” Then-Ukraine President Poroshenko, according to the same report, asked for Shokin’s resignation because he was “taking too long to clean up corruption even within the PGO [Prosecutor General’s Office] itself.”



lol. republicans "Believed" shokin so much they wouldn't put him under oath on the stand.
hahahaha

 

[mark francis]

During Shokin’s 13 months in office, not one major figure was convicted. No oligarch. No politician. No ranking bureaucrat.

in a country full of corruption, shokin found..none? hahahahah

yep, shokin was corrupt. lol

No crook was convicted before Shokin and the only convictions after Shokin were sweetheart deals that made Burisma corruption crimes look no more heinous than stealing a candy bar from a corner store. At least Shokin was fighting corruption in the UK, corruption in Ukraine, and corrupt US officials seeking to undermine his investigation into Burisma and Zlochevsky.
