Ukraine Considers Opening New Investigations
[Townhall] Ukraine is considering new ways to curry favor with President Trump, two sources who recently met with Ukranian officials told CNN. The sources say one of the ways the country hopes to win the favor of the Trump administration is by opening new investigations that may be seen as politically favorable to the president.

Ukraine relies on the United States for security assistance and the two sources say the Ukrainians are currently looking for additional support from the United States.

According to the report, it is unclear when such investigations might be announced or what subjects such investigations would cover. Obviously, Joe Biden's role in the firing of the prosecutor investigating his son's employer, which Trump discussed with the president of Ukraine on his July 25th phone call, has been front and center in the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry. One of the sources did tell CNN that any new investigations in Ukraine would have to cover current issues as well as those that happened in the past.

Hunter Biden served as a board member of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company, drawing a lucrative monthly salary from 2014 ‐ 2019. Biden has no natural energy experience, was discharged from the military for using cocaine and seemingly hired by Burisma only to buy the company influence with Hunter's father, then-Vice President Joe Biden. The move appears to have worked. Joe Biden proudly recalls the time he flew to Ukraine and bribed the government into firing the prosecutor who was investigating his son's employer.

Democrats accuse Trump of "blackmailing," "bribing" or "pressuring" Ukrainian President Zelensky into investigating Trump's political opponent Joe Biden. At the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry, Democrats brought in witnesses attempting to undermine Trump's claim that there was no pressure on President Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden tied to U.S. security assistance to the country.
