A corrupt Ukraine firm reportedly got direct access to then-vice president Joe Biden through his son.
Not that this matters to anyone. People have mostly made up their minds. However, as a fan of irony, it amuses me greatly to find that the Bidens peddled influence for profit in Ukraine. Biden's on tape extorting the Ukrainian government, but who cares, right? It's just Uncle Joe being Uncle Joe.
Yet, in an email on April 17, 2015, Vadym Pozharskyi, the Burisma executive, thanked Hunter for arranging a meeting for him with the vice president in Washington. A few months later, Vice President Biden squeezed the Ukrainian government to fire its prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, who maintains that his office was preparing to investigate Burisma. Shokin was fired after the vice president threatened to withhold desperately needed American government aid.
Recounting his December 2015 meeting in Kyiv with Ukraine’s then-president, Petro Poroshenko, and then-prime minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Joe Biden has explained his threat to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine’s financially strapped government:
