His attention, most recently, has been on Joe Biden and some thorny issues in Ukraine - issues that could yet again throw some shade on Biden's probable 2020 run for the presidency.
Biden, you may perhaps remember, was given the role as the Obama administration's point man on Ukraine after the 2014 revolution that ousted the pro-Moscow president at the time, one Viktor Yanukovych.
"Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time," Biden said.
Do you think that Joe Biden will win the 2020 Democrat nomination?
Second, while Shokin's unpopularity may have stemmed from the fact that he wasn't investigating enough corruption, the vice president neglected to mention one anti-corruption probe Shokin actually was undertaking at the time of his firing: A probe of natural gas corporation Burisma Holdings, a company that sported Hunter Biden - the then-veep's son - as a board member.
"U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden's American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts - usually more than $166,000 a month - from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia," Solomon noted in the Monday report.
Ukraine officials said Biden was undoubtedly aware of Shokin's investigation because, as Solomon notes "The U.S. embassy in Kiev that coordinated Biden's work in the country repeatedly and publicly discussed the general prosecutor's case against Burisma" and that "Biden's office was quoted, on the record, acknowledging Hunter Biden's role in Burisma in a New York Times article about the general prosecutor's Burisma case that appeared four months before Biden forced the firing of Shokin. The vice president's office suggested in that article that Hunter Biden was a lawyer free to pursue his own private business deals."
