7. Trump many lose bigly on this, but Biden will lose biglier.

The Ukrainian government requested the AG to look into this initially. Like, 10 months ago or something? To their credit, the US AG didn't act on it .

My main take away: This is something the new Ukrainian prosecutor, is instigating. Trump is just an opportunist.
Barr didn't act. Why rock the boat unless necessary?
They are afraid of Biden, so now its necessary.
Trump is a shit head.
Other big money US interests have been deemed not so necessary.

Article from The Hill: Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived
By John Solomon — 04/01/19 09:37 PM EDT

But then, as Biden’s 2020 campaign ramped up over the past year, Lutsenko — the Ukrainian prosecutor that Biden once hailed as a “solid” replacement for Shokin — began looking into what happened with the Burisma case that had been shut down.

Lutsenko told me that, while reviewing the Burisma investigative files, he discovered “members of the Board obtained funds as well as another U.S.-based legal entity, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, for consulting services.”

Lutsenko said some of the evidence he knows about in the Burisma case may interest U.S. authorities and he’d like to present that information to new U.S. Attorney General William Barr, particularly the vice president’s intervention.

primary today, I would vote for:
