How do you know that the prosecutor is corrupt ? You are asking me how I know whether or not Joe Biden is corrupt, yet you make the same assumption regarding the Ukranian prosecutor with no substantiation whatsoever. Why the double standard on proof of corruption ?
Fair enough. I can be more precise with my language. The prosecutor was considered corrupt by the US and EU. Joe Biden was acting within US policy in seeking his removal. This included a well documented threat to withhold aid to Ukraine until this was done.
I honestly don't see the smoking gun here. If there actually is one, you're certainly within your rights to keep it a secret.
The prosecutor was not considered corrupt by Ukraine. They were coerced into firing him by the US and EU. What proof did the United States and the European Union have on this prosecutor that he was corrupt ? The United States and the EU may well have had other motives than the stated motive for wanting him removed. Furthermore, regardless of whether the prosecutor was corrupt, he may have legitimately been pursuing criminal charges against Hunter Biden/Burisma - i.e. his corruption may not have not extended into this area of his litigative practices if indeed he was corrupt. It may have been fortuitous for the Bidens that their interest in having him removed coincided with the US and EUs desire to have him removed. You know none of this, yet you hold me to a burden of proof that you don't subject yourself to.
A final question to you Wasilla - since I am intending to remain silent regarding Joe Biden, what are your celebratory plans in regards to Joe Biden's imminent election ? Champagne and Lobster ?
