#2 And now John Solomon reveals that both Victoria Nuland and Ambassador Pyatt actually PRAISED the Ukrainian prosecutor, in two glowing letters recounting their pleasure with his anti-corruption efforts, just months before The Big Guy maneuvered to get him fired:

Biden Boomerang: Newly released State memos undercut Democrats' Ukraine impeachment story
...State Department officials told Ukraine prosecutor they were "impressed" with his work shortly before Biden forced his firing.

Why? Because just after Nuland & Pyatt's letters were sent, The NY Times broke a big story that this prosecutor was investigating Hunter Biden's colleagues at the corrupt circus known as Burisma.

IOW, everything that skank Pelosi and idiot Biden and their colleagues said in their impeachment farce was ACTUALLY true -- about Biden. And totally false wrt to Trump. On top of which, they withheld this evidence of Trump's innocence from Cobgress - a blatant violation of the Brady Act, per Dershowitz.

Most Corrupt Era in Modern US History. And now this staggeringly corrupt senile muppet is trying to drag us into a war. For his shithole grift-factory, Ukraine.

#3 Fvcking liars, all of them.

John Solomon revealed all this in 2019 and 2020. Pelosi and her fellow Congress-whores quashed this evidence.

Here's Solomon, also quoting the Ukrainian prosecutor Shokin:

Shokin told this reporter in 2019 and 2020 that State Department officials gave no inkling to him that he was doing a bad job and in fact had praised him in the summer of 2015. He said he suddenly was whipsawed in September 2015 when Pyatt, the U.S. ambassador, gave a speech in Odessa criticizing his office for not pursuing the corruption case against Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky.

Shokin said his team was, in fact, investigating Burisma at the time and took several steps publicly to demonstrate that, including fighting an effort by Zlochevsky to unfreeze assets that had been seized by Ukrainian officials.

He said the U.S. officials began pressuring his boss, Poroshenko, to fire the prosecutor after the New York Times story surfaced about Hunter Biden in December 2015. Shokin said U.S. officials never offered any proof to Poroshenko that he committed any wrongdoing.

In a court declaration filed in 2019 in an unrelated case involving the oligarch Dmitri Firtash, Shokin declared he believed he was fired for pursuing Burisma because it angered the Biden family.

"The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm active in Ukraine, and Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors," Shokin said in the affidavit.

#5 Defense contractors licking their chops in anticipation of big, big orders from DoD. Their lobbyists grease the politicians who approve these expenditures. It's just business, Vlad, nothing personal.
