Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived

Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.

In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

    Joe, take your swamp creature groping appendages along with that foot oft in your mouth and slither back into the slime where you came from.
    As long as you don't overspend, you'll be fine living off your veep of Hussein pension along with whatever else wealth professional politicians manage to adsorb somewhat as do amebas.

    Biden is a member of the OLD GUARD (OG) used to using these tactics to get what they want, just like Hillary and Obama have done. There is a reason he never got more than 1% of the vote in the previous two attempts at the presidency.

    He might get the anti-trump vote, but he wont get the millenial democratic vote. He is too much OG.

    Stupidly, this isn't what will sink him in the primaries, if he runs. He can't resist fondling little girls, and his "apologies" consist of saying "times have changed". In the #metoo era, he appears incredibly insensitive to female abuse as objects of male interest. I hate to say I agree with progressives, but I have enjoyed the female form as much as any man, but would never treat them with anything but respect. I'm offended by Biden's crooked abuse of power with respect to Ukraine, and I am disgusted by his lame excuses for groping women as "innocent affection."

    I don't suppose any official of the DOJ is looking into his and his soons dealings with the Ukrainian Government. If Don Jr or Eric or Ivanka had done something like this as a cover for Dear old Dad, they would be under Leavenworth Federal now. Dad would be in Ft. Leavenworth Military Prison since he is nominally the head of the military (and the Military prison is about 5 time worse the Leavenworth Federal Prison.

      The children of Trump has been under investigation non stop.

      Little shitty Schiff's main "smoking gun" is Donald Jr's "connection" to Russian officials to dig up dirt on Clinton (as if the left has never done opposition research).

      Ivanka is also in the bullseye.

      The hysterical left found nothing against dad so they are trying to take their vendetta out on the children.

      Never underestimate the level of evil on the left.
