I don't know what kind of BS you are calling on me on Martin. You said Hunter Biden already left Burisma and Shokin wasn't investigating the company and that the officials in Ukraine confirmed this? Is that not your words above and what my rebuttal was about? So I refuted these erroneous statements you made. You obviously didn't read my NYTimes quote from the link below! The other article merely confirmed the firing in 2016 of Shokin - Hunter Biden was still there!

You are correct. Hunter Biden was indeed with Burisma until April 2019 and Shokin was fired in 2016. I'm not sure what I was thinking of when I wrote that, but it was not correct. Given the rest of my reply, I most likely was thinking that Hunter Biden had already left Burisma before Guilliani concocted his "scandal".
Not that it matters if he was still there or not. Shokin wasn't investigating Burisma (which was indeed confirmed by Ukraine officials) and was fired after pressure from the International Monatary Fund, several European Government and the Obama administration. His firing had nothing to do with Hunter Biden.
It is commonly reported that Hunter did not leave the Burisma Board until has father had aspirations to run as President in late 2018 early 2019! Here is what you had to say about me when I called you on your misinformation. USA Today is just another one of your fake news organizations that misconstrue the facts. Get the facts Man!
It wasn't the first time Hunter Biden ended a job because of his father's political activities. He left his position at Amtrak and ended his lobbying activities when his father started his vice presidential campaign.
Beyond that I can't make any sense of your post as you seem to have been throwing parts of several previous posts together.
I would say stop hurdling BS back! The company that Shokin was said to be investigating (2010-2012) happened to be very corrupt - but he was pulled back out of there and "wasn't doing enough to curb corrupt politicians" fake MSM USAtoday reported. Did he get to finish his supposed report that he was working on or was it shredded?
What report? What are you going on about? You claim that Burisma "happened to be very corrupt" yet there has never been any proof of that presented and as far as I know Burisma has been investigated in the past but never been convicted, or even brought to trial, for being corrupt. Now, don't get me wrong. The entire Ukraine has been corrupt for years so it's unlikely that Burisma was white as snow, but then they wouldn't be the only ones. Corruption is widespread and not limited to Ukraine. All you need to do is look at the list of people Trump has now pardoned. Some corrupt individuals there as well.
You keep on saying that Burisma was corrupt, but in truth you have no way of knowing. All you do is listen to people who claim the company is corrupt and not presenting evidence for it. You just believe it because you want to believe it.
Another one of your fake MSM boys posted this news in June, well after Trump had been impeached for investigating further problems in the Ukraine. Again, like USA Today the Bidens were protected. The Ukraine governments certainly wouldn't burn bridges if Biden became President!
Pure anti-Biden speculation on your part. The article says that $6 million was paid to an anti-corruption bureau official to drop an investigation into the affairs of Mykola Zlochevsky. Although Zlochevsky founded Burisma, this had nothing to do with the company! And Ukraine ruled out that Joe or Hunter Biden were involved.
You seem not to believe them, which only shows your anti-Biden bias. When the top corruption prosecutor says the Bidens had nothing to do with it, what proof do you have that they were involved. The answer is a simple one; none. You just don't like the Bidens so anything negative you can say about them, regardless if it's not true, you will say.
You behave like Guiliani has been doing for months. Just throw allegations out there and keep on repeating them over and over again. Eventually, some people will be gullible enough to believe the allegations to be true despite a total lack of evidence. It's the Trump playbook at work. He did it with his fake birtherism claim against Obama, he did it against Hillary Clinton with his fake email "scandal" and he is doing it again with his fake Hunter Biden "scandal"... They all end the same way with turning out to be nothing burgers.
