Fired Burisma Prosecutor Viktor Shokin: Burisma Hired Hunter Biden to "Provide Protection" for Their "Illegal Activities"

When will Joe Biden be confronted with this?

Open an impeachment inquiry, and summon Shokin as a witness:

Fired Ukraine prosecutor general Viktor Shokin claimed then-second son Hunter Biden was brought on to the Ukrainian gas company Burisma's board in order to "provide protection" for CEO and founder Mykola Zlochevsky from criminal investigations.

"I have no doubt that there were illegal activities engaged in by Burisma," he told Fox News' "One Nation" host Brian Kilmeade through a translator in an interview that aired on Saturday night.

"It continued to expand and Zlochevsky, who at the time held the post of minister ... started bringing in people who could provide protection for him. Hunter Biden was among them and the corruption network expanded as a result," he said.

...

Shokin claims he was forced out of office in 2016 by former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko "at the insistence of then-Vice President Joe Biden" amid an investigation into Burisma Holdings and Zlochevsky, Shokin told Kilmeade.

Biden was withholding much-needed aid to Ukraine in exchange for bribes for Shokin's removal, Shokin believes.

"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. And the fact that Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in U.S. money in exchange for my dismissal, my firing, isn't that alone a case of corruption?" he questioned.

...

Shokin said he has "no doubts" that the since-disbanded company was engaged in illegal activity.

He said the probe into Burisma was "an ordinary case" with nothing particularly remarkable about it but it demanded "special attention" given the Bidens' connection.

"It was on a list of cases to merit special attention because Hunter Biden was involved with Burisma and of course, his father, the vice president. Biden at the time oversaw Ukraine affairs for the White House," he said.

An FBI informant file made public last month revealed that Zlochevsky claimed in 2016 that he was "coerced" into paying a $10 million bribe to the president and his son in exchange for Shokin's ouster.

Purported internal Obama-Biden administration emails from 2016 published by Just the News this week showed that officials were shocked that Biden was pushing for Shokin's ouster as a condition of US aid.

...

...

Shokin says he was fired because his office "would have found the facts about the corrupt activities that they were engaging in. That included both Hunter Biden and Devon Archer and others."

Joe Biden spoke on the phone four times in February and March 2016 with then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and once with Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk as he pushed for Shokin's ouster.

Shokin's office won a court order to seize Zlochevsky's property on Feb. 2, 2016, the Kyiv Post reported at the time. Shokin was fired on March 29.

Hunter Biden is a one-man crime spree that Merrick Garland's handpicked Very Special Counsel perpetrated a fraud on a court to grant Double Secret Immunity to. I think Burisma hired the right man -- undoubtedly the one area in which Hunter Biden is in fact an expert is fixing prosecutions and covering up crimes.
