Leaked phone calls between Biden and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko explicitly detail the quid-pro-quo arrangement to fire former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin - in exchange for $1 billion which Biden openly bragged about in Jan, 2018. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/phone-calls-between-quid-pro-joe-biden-and-ukraines-poroshenko-leak-explicitly-details
This alleged (and not yet independently verified) recording purports to show a much deeper and more explicit quid pro quo than previously thought.
The leaked calls begin on December 3, 2015, when former Secretary of State John Kerry starts laying out the case to fire Shokin â who he says âblocked the cleanup of the Prosecutor Generalsâ Office,â and sated that Biden âis very concerned about it,â
Poroshenko replies that the newly reorganized prosecutor generalâs office (NABU) wonât be able to pursue corruption charges, and that it may be difficult to fire Shokin without cause.
On February 18, 2016 â less than three months after the Kerry conversation â Poroshenko delivers some âpositive news.â
"Yesterday I met with General Prosecutor Shokin. Â And despite of the fact that we didnât have any corruption charges â I specially asked him to resign"
"Yesterday I met with General Prosecutor Shokin. Â And despite of the fact that we didnât have any corruption charges â I specially asked him to resign"
On March 22, 2016, Biden says âTell me that there is a new government and a new Prosecutor General. I am prepared to do a public signing of the commitment for the billion dollars.â
On May 13, 2016, Biden congratulates Poroshenko on âgetting the new Prosecutor Generalâ
âAnd Iâm a man of my word,â Biden adds. âAnd now that the new Prosecutor General is in place, weâre ready to move forward to signing that one billion dollar loan guarantee.â
âAnd Iâm a man of my word,â Biden adds. âAnd now that the new Prosecutor General is in place, weâre ready to move forward to signing that one billion dollar loan guarantee.â
For reference, here's Biden bragging:
âI looked at them and said, âIf the prosecutor is not fired, youâre not getting the money"
âI looked at them and said, âIf the prosecutor is not fired, youâre not getting the money"
Here's the audio.
Sure sounds exactly like Joe Biden and John Kerry.
