Ukraine may reopen Burisma's case

Also will dive into how much monkey business was in play to prevent legitimate investigations
Valentin Nalyvaichenko, a former head of Ukraine's domestic intelligence agency and a member of Ukraine’s parliament, says he expects the corruption case of the Burisma gas company—two cases were opened and dropped by various prosecutors over the years —to be revisited. Hunter Biden, the son of then-Vice President Joe Biden, was a board member.
Nalyvaichenko said his country will be best served by pursuing an investigation related to the alleged Burisma’s multi-million dollar corruption deals, not because of Trump’s pressure but because Ukraine wants to know the truth about its own corruption, whether the founder of Burisma, Ukraine’s ex-minister of natural resources Mykola Zlochevsky from 2010 to 2012, had paid to squash the earlier investigations into the way he acquired gas licenses.
Prosecutor Sergiy Gorbatyuk investigated the founder of Burisma company, Mykola Zlochevsky, for three months in 2016, until Prosecutor General Lutsenko made a decision to drop the probe. First Lutsenko took the case away from the investigators, then closed it down illegally, Gorbatyuk told The Daily Beast on Tuesday.
“There would not have been any question [about pursuing] such cases today, if Lutsenko did not interfere in the investigations,” the prosecutor said. “I hope that with the change of management at the prosecutor general’s office there will be no illegal interferences and this case as well as other probes will be investigated strictly in accordance with the law.”  (LINK)

Now this may or may not have anything to do with Joe Biden or whether the United States Government threatened to withhold aid if certain people were not fired. But it may be a bad thing for Hunter Biden. Regardless of what certain people are saying (that the probe was dropped  for lack of any reasonable standing) it would certainly appear that the probe was never fully engaged, much less completed.

If the Ukraine decides (on it's own) to investigate Burisma, then most certainly the claims that Trump had no legitimate reason (other than to "gather dirt" on Biden) to call on this sort of action falls to the wayside.  The tin foil hat brigade will no doubt go crazy, claiming that this is the "result" of Trump's pressure, when in fact there will (again) be no evidence of such.

For the past three years or so, all we have heard from the Democrats defending their hair brained conspiracy allegations against the President is that any attempts to avoid or otherwise undermine any investigation is an action of "hiding something". Certainly if Hunter and Joe Biden have nothing to hide, then they should welcome Ukraine finally deciding to finish their investigation into Burisma for no other reason than to clear Hunter Biden's name.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander?

If Democrats want to have a chance in 2020 with their laughably weak candidates, they should probably avoid doing anything that would unite people behind Donald Trump, including many who profess to dislike him.

Whoops, too late.

Whistleblower is rep'd by former Schumer and HRC staffer. That's a political football.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before.

Anonymous accusation against a Republican goes viral. Dems, NeverTrump go apoplectic, demand hearings. Exculpatory evidence ignored. Vague accusations don’t pass muster but weaponized anyway. Accuser turns out to be a partisan with a grudge.


former Hillary Clinton intern/Schumer staffer representing … things that make you say hmmmm.

The greatest thing and most puzzling about this staged event was the fake love Nancy showed for White Privilege History and The US Constitution.

For as yet some unnamed crime we just made up.

seven does she follow the Constitution and have a floor roll call vote to "formalize" the investigation ?

The trouble of course is that you cannot trust a transcript from this White House to be a truthful account of what happened.

If you are taking Trump-Ukraine seriously, then you're dumber than the people who took Trump-Russia seriously.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

"Today, I'm announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. I'm directing our 6 committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella ... The president must be held accountable."

The President said he would release the transcript of his conversation with the President of Ukraine.

I will not be surprised that he will not actually said. He will claim that executive authority, is going to prohibit the release of the transcript.

Crazy busy day. I’m only beginning to think about how we lost Robert Hunter today.

Hunter was the Grateful Dead’s main lyricist. Terrapin Station. Dark Star. Jack Straw. Ripple. St. Stephen. Sugaree China Cat Sunflower. I Know You Rider. Eyes of the World. Playing in the Band.

TRUMP CALLED HIS BLUFF --

Adam Schiff is going to have a big helping of egg on his face when that phone call transcript is released.

The scumbag should resign.


and he still hasn't produced the Russian collusion evidence he saw WITH HIS OWN EYES... (Mueller - NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION)

obviously can't trust Schiff or his bug eyes

I'm waiting to see who this whistleblower who wasn't even there is. What's the bet clapper put gim up to it?

Funny the Whitehouse Russia transcripts matched the Mueller report.

This is snowballing. Make a lot of noise to distract attention from the fact that the President has admitted to collusion with the Ukrainians.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

It's going to be a transcript of a conversation. We don't have any recordings. So the President can review the transcript and, well who knows
