Fired Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin says he believes Bidens were bribed
2023-08-26
[NYP] WASHINGTON — Former Ukraine prosecutor general Viktor Shokin says in a new interview set to air Saturday night that he believes — but lacks direct evidence — that President Biden and his son Hunter received bribes in exchange for forcing him out of office in early 2016.

"I do not want to deal in unproven facts, but my firm personal conviction is that, yes, this was the case. They were being bribed," Shokin told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade in an excerpt of the interview released Friday.

"And the fact that Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in US money in exchange for my dismissal, my firing, isn’t that alone a case of corruption?" added the former top law enforcement officer in Kyiv.

Shokin is a central figure in the controversy over alleged Biden family influence-peddling, which could morph into a House impeachment inquiry as early as next month.

The former prosecutor is rarely seen in Western media and his perceived credibility — or lack thereof — could dramatically shape efforts to impeach and remove the president from office.

#8  ^Yea, sure. Like he'd be bothered if you had a video of him killing somebody - "a fake, and a crude one" the best experts would testify.

#7  Ukraine has the tapes of the Burisma honcho’s talking to Joe and Hunter. That’s why they can dictate the continued funding their war. The president is compromised.

#4  It is news. It has been surprised but it is still news because it is true and has the potential to topple a presidency. If Tucker really wants to topple the tables, he should interview Shokin. It will force the media and Deep State into action. I don’t think the DS can afford for 60M Americans to know the name Shokin. Fox, in particular, can’t afford to be scooped by Tucker. The Biden Administration is situationally in Khe Sanh. Barrage after barrage is what will turn this into Dien Bien Phu.

#3  As always, the real question when you bribe someone is "Will they stay bribed?"
So far Joey has been defending the piggy bank.
