My, my. The smoke is clearing. John Solomon over at The Hill continues to do yeoman’s investigative work. The so-called corruption fantasy that has been derided by the Democrats and their cronies in the MSM is being documented by true investigative reporting.
Through memos obtained under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit (Solomon filed the suit this summer with the help of the public interest law firm, the Southeastern Legal Foundation), Solomon shows that everything Joe Biden and the Obama administration previously denied taking place regarding the Ukraine actually took place.
Solomon noted that Burisma hired Hunter Biden in the spring of 2014, around the time that British officials opened corruption investigations into Burisma. Hunter Biden’s firm began receiving monthly payments in May 2014 from Burisma totaling more than $166,000, according to bank records.
Burisma sought U.S. government assistance to get the Ukraine prosecutor to drop a corruption probe against Burisma. They were clearly leveraging Hunter Biden’s board membership in support of their efforts. ($50K+ per month)
As displayed over at CTH,
When the prosecutor refused to back down, Vice President Joe Biden used the threat of withholding $1 billion in U.S. aid to pressure Ukraine to fire him. The prosecutor told Solomon and ABC News that he was fired specifically because he would not stop investigating Burisma. The prosecutor was planning to interview Hunter Biden at the time he was fired.
Joe Biden later boasted of squeezing Ukrainian officials to get the prosecutor fired.
I wonder when Speaker Pelosi will begin an “impeachment “ inquiry into these actions? Oh, that’s right. I forgot. Democrats are above the law.
