(r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Remember that video where then-Vice President Joe Biden bragged about getting a prosecutor fired? The prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, was investigating the company that Hunter Biden was involved in. He told Ukraine that if this prosecutor wasn&#8217;t fired in approximately six hours, Ukraine &#8220;wasn&#8217;t getting the money&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Viktor Shokin forwarded an official statement in Russian and in Ukrainian, translated into English, linked below. He went into detail explaining the circumstances surrounding the &#8220;request&#8221; for his resignation. This is the kind of story that the media should be looking into&#8230; Not the one that they&#8217;re trying to invent regarding President Trump&#8217;s call.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From an uploaded copy on Scribd:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The circumstances of my dismissal were that I tendered my resignation to the Rada at the request of President Poroshenko. Poroshenko asked me to resign due to pressure from the US Presidential administration, in particular from Joe Biden, who was the US Vice-President. Biden was threatening to withhold USD$ 1 billion in subsidies to Ukraine until I was removed from office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Ukrainian government&#8217;s explanation regarding this resignation is similar to the &#8220;lost in public confidence&#8221; or &#8220;lost in trust in his ability to lead&#8221; explanations given for similar US resignations\/firings. However, the fired prosecutor provided the real reason for his firing.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Scribd:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings (&#8220;Burisma&#8221;), a natural gas firm active in Ukraine, and Joe Biden&#8217;s son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors. I assume Burisma, which was connected with gas extraction, had the support of the US Vice-President Joe Biden because his son was on the Board of Directors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the phone call between President Trump and President Zelnsky, President Trump asked if this could be looked into.
