Dope1: urisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian oligarch who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden, was "coerced" into sending them money...
Good Lord, this is remarkably stupid.
Jaw-droppingly stupid.
Let's review the history...
Viktor Shokin never conducted a criminal investigation of Burisma. Mykola Zlochevsky, founder of Burisma, was criminally investigated in Britain for laundering money stolen through British banks. Britain attempted to get documents for its case from Ukraine and Shokin blocked the investigation.
Shokin blocked all investigations into Ukranian oligarchs.
As a result, the EU, international investment firms and the IMF threatened to end investments and cancel loans unless Shokin was fired.
Shokin's deputy resigned, announcing on national TV the details of Shokin's corruption.
The IMF announced it was going to pull tens of billions in loans if Shokin was not fired.
Shokin was fired the next day.
So why in the world would Burisma pay the Bidens a nickel?
And why would Ukrainians refer to Joe Biden as "the big guy," an American idiom, and not use a Ukrainian idiom?
I mean, there are so many basic errors in the Grassley announcement it's mind boggling -- I could go on and on but nothing ever penetrates the cult -- but, hey, as Trump liked to say: "I love the poorly educated."
