A major hole has been blown in Joe Biden's fired Ukrainian prosecutor story.
New US government memos obtained by Just the News through a FOIA lawsuit reveal that the Obama Administration was still actively communicating with former Ukrainian Prosecutor Victor Shokin after Biden's December 2015 threat to withhold $1 billion in US aid unless then-President Petro Poroshenko fired him.
In December, 2015 - leaked audio provided by Ukrainian MP Andrii Derkach revealed that former Secretary of State John Kerry was laying out the case for Shokin's ouster to former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, saying that Biden is "Very concerned" about the lack of reform in the prosecutor general's office.
In February 2016, the US Senate provided more cover for then-VP Biden, pushing for reforms to the Ukrainian prosecutor general's office on the basis that it was corrupt.
In April 2016, Shokin stated that Poroshenko "Called him and told him he had to be fired as the aid to the Ukraine was being withheld by Joe Biden. Mr. Biden told Mr. Poroshenko that he had evidence that Mr. Shokin was corrupt and needed to be fired. Mr. Shokin was dismissed in April of 2016 and the US aid was delivered within one and one half months."
Then in November 2016, Biden threatens Poroshenko with the $1 billion US loan guarantee.
So as Shokin chased Hunter Biden's employer, his father - the Vice President of the US, with the support of a US Ambassador and the US Senate - made their case for Shokin's ouster - despite the fact that US officials maintained positive communications with Shokin's office right up until that point.
