A tiny detail why the whole Biden-Ukraine-story doesn't make sense to begin with:

Timeline:

- Burisma is put under investigation for financial crimes. No wrongdoing is found.

- Hunter Biden joins Burisma. The investigation is ongoing. Still no wrongdoing.

- Viktor Shokin becomes the new prosecutor and inherits the Burisma-investigation. The investigation is ongoing. Still no wrongdoing.

- Viktor Shokin earns an international reputation of letting rich people get away with crimes. The investigation is ongoing. Still no wrongdoing.

- Joe Biden calls for the firing of Viktor Shokin.





Joe Biden called for the firing of the guy who failed/refused to prosecute Hunter Biden.

And this is supposed to be bad how???

Can you imagine the outcry if Joe Biden had demanded that the corrupt prosecutor keep his job???

but in Trump world, all you need is "Biden" and "corruption" in the same sentence. Much like for Vindman, "speaks Urkrainian" and "works in the White House" equals spy.

that Biden single-handedly got Shokin fired for investigating Hunter. You cannot convince them of anything else. It's not just an inability to think critically or apply logic. They literally will not go through the facts. They don't care. Daddy went rogue and protected his son under the guise of foreign policy. That's their truth. It's maddening!
