Leaving all the corruption questions to the side, why was Biden — elected to serve the Americans as Vice President — so active in trying to dictate the internal affairs of Ukraine, to the point of demanding the firing of the chief prosecutor? Why does the US try to rule everyone?
Spare me the bullshit of how Biden (and the EU) wanted the prosecutor fired because he wasn’t vigilant enough about fighting corruption. The US & EU don’t care if their puppet regimes tolerate domestic corruption. Why is the US VP dictating who the Ukrainian prosecutor should be?
Not only was the new prosecutor appointed after Biden coerced the Ukrainian Government someone with no legal experience as a prosecutor, he himself had a history of corruption.

Whatever the motive of Biden/EU was in demanding his change, it wasn't noble anti-corruption fervor.
It is true that getting rid of the old prosecutor was EU policy, not just Biden's. And it's still unclear if that move benefited Burisma. But what is 100% clear is the motive given by Biden - I wanted a Good Government prosecutor in Ukraine to release the aid - is total bullshit.
