Bloomberg reported that "at the time Biden made his ultimatum [to fire prosecutor], the probe into the company -- Burisma Holdings, owned by Mykola Zlochevsky -- had been long dormant" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-07/timeline-in-ukraine-probe-casts-doubt-on-giuliani-s-biden-claim … This appears to be untrue.pic.twitter.com/v4Nd3holkG
2/ Bloomberg's statement is based on information from Kasko, the rival to prosecutor Shokin. In May 2019 interview, Shokin says that they had been planning to interview Hunter Biden and Devon Archer https://strana.ua/articles/interview/199721-viktor-shokin-lutsenko-na-kolenjakh-prosil-poroshenko-naznachit-eho-henprokurorom-a-teper-spasaet-sebja.html …pic.twitter.com/i52PDBaGcB
3/ Shokin says that he "finally crossed the threshold on February 2, 2016, when we went to the courts with petitions for re-arresting the property of Burisma".pic.twitter.com/k0bPLDL2JD
4/ if Shokin had seized Burisma property on Feb 2, 2016, then the Prosecutor General's investigation of Zlochevsky and Burisma was obviously not "dormant" as reported by Bloomberg. So ... can seizure of Zlochevsky property on Feb 2, 2016 be confirmed or not?
5/ there are public reports that the Prosecutor General Office (Shokin's PGO) seized all of Zlochevsky's "movable and immovable property" under suspicion of "illicit enrichment" under Part 3 of Article 368-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine http://archive.is/tq19t pic.twitter.com/Z4MO8WNtqY
6/ this doesn't prove that Biden's demands that Shokin be removed were connected to Shokin's seizure of property belonging to Hunter Biden's patron and employer, Zlochevsky, but it does show that Bloomberg and others are shoveling disinformation about "dormant"
7/ the Atlantic Council had been demanding Shokin's removal on the grounds that he had been insufficiently zealous in prosecuting Yanukovych associates https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/shokin-s-revenge-ukraine-s-odious-prosecutor-general-fires-honest-deputy-before-parliament-sacks-him/ …https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/why-poroshenko-s-support-for-shokin-is-dangerous/ …
8/ 0n Jan 19, 2017 (two days after Joe Biden visit to Ukraine), Atlantic Council had signed a "cooperative agreement" with Burisma (Hunter's connection) https://www.kyivpost.com/business-wire/zlochevskyis-burisma-atlantic-council-sign-cooperative-agreement.html … following dropping of corruption charges against Burisma by Shokin's successorpic.twitter.com/HduBuZjl7R
9/ in Sep 2015, US ambassador Pyatt, who, with Victoria Nuland, was one of architects of US regime change coup in Ukraine in Feb 2014, challenged conduct of Prosecutor General Office (PGO) - specifically the case of Zlochevsky. US anti-corruption demands were undermined by Hunterpic.twitter.com/HgYpizqwTy
10/ Biden working for Zlochevsky (the owner of Burisma). While Pyatt's speech has been cited as evidence against Shokin, Shokin did not become Prosecutor General until Feb 2015 AFTER the apparent botching of the UK case (decided Jan 2015).
11/ Ironically, it was Shokin's successor who terminated the case against Zlochevsky and Burisma, thus permitting an open "cooperative agreement" between Atlantic Council and Zlochevsky's Burisma - previously Pyatt's poster for Ukrainian corruption. Odd.
12/ again, I'm not suggesting that any of the parties in Ukraine had clean hands. Clearly Zlochevsky hired Hunter Biden and Devon Archer to curry favor with the US after Yanukovych's fall. Pretty hard for Biden to lecture Ukrainians about corruption when his son was making
13/ making millions of dollars from one of the most corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs.
14/ Ukrainian article from March 26, 2019 entitled "To bribe Biden: how the authorities in Ukraine have corrupted the American democrats and influenced the US elections in favor of Clinton". Gives opposing view to US media.https://www.forumdaily.com/en/podkupit-bajdena-kak-vlasti-v-ukraine-korrumpirovali-amerikanskix-demokratov-i-vliyali-na-vybory-v-ssha-v-polzu-klinton/ …
15/ Says that right up to very end of Obama admin, Biden was seeking "guarantees that people associated with [Burisma] would not be prosecuted". In exchange, Biden "offered his mediation in establishing relations with the administration of the new US president". Maybe thatpic.twitter.com/RpojG9hwwq
16/ that was why Biden visited Ukraine on Jan 17, 2017 in his last couple of days in office. If Biden weren't concerned about Hunter's situation, why else would he have visited Ukraine in more or less his last act in office?
17/ the legend being promulgated by Bloomberg and others is based on claims against Shokin by Anatoli Kasko, his rival and opponent. Forumdaily https://www.forumdaily.com/en/podkupit-bajdena-kak-vlasti-v-ukraine-korrumpirovali-amerikanskix-demokratov-i-vliyali-na-vybory-v-ssha-v-polzu-klinton/vgives … opposite view of Kasko - says that he was installed by US and sabotaged UK action against Zlochevsky in Dec 2014pic.twitter.com/ddBgcJMYTT
18/ it reports that US favorite Kasko delayed and delayed his response to UK court requests re Biden's patron Zlochevsky until AFTER decision rendered and money released. Only then did Kasko send documents.pic.twitter.com/Co3h0ByuVH
19/ Biden's demand that Shokin be dismissed is documented in a Dec 9, 2015 article https://korrespondent.net/ukraine/3599755-baiden-trebuet-uvolyt-shokyna-nardep … reporting a FB post by Svetlana Zalishchuk, an ally of Fusion GPS source Leshchenko and Soros-backed Mustafa Nayem (both joes for Nuland and McCain)
20/ interesting Oct 2016 article on Kasko, the source for anti-Shokin stories. http://chornovol.info/en/temnyky-portnova-chomu-jih-vidpratsovuje-leschenko/ … In its first paragraph, it mentions crooked Kazakh embezzler Ablyazov, who I've mentioned in past in connection with Clinton Foundation https://twitter.com/search?lang=en&q=ablyazov%20(from%3Aclimateaudit)&src=typed_query … and Uranium One
21/ author claims that Kasko sabotaged Ukrainian attempts to reclaim stolen assets, then blamed others, including Shokin. He associates Kasko with Andrii Portnov and the Arzinger legal firm.pic.twitter.com/OB0Sua8f0i
22/ the author of the article against Kasko is Tatiana Chornovol, an anti-corruption crusader, whose August 2014 resignation reported by Irena Chalupa at Atlantic Councilhttps://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/ukrainian-anti-corruption-crusader-quits-government/ …
23/ In August 2014, Chalupa observed that Chornovol was particularly concerned about continuing corruption involving Victor Pinchuk and Ihor Kolomoisky. Pinchuk was huge donor to Clinton Foundation and retained Doug Schoen in US as lobbyist. Kolomoisky was reported by John Helmerpic.twitter.com/g3GNzWIOmO
24/ Helmer reported that Kolomoisky was "staunch ally" of Victoria Nuland, architect of US regime change coup in Feb 2014, and of Hillary Clintonhttp://johnhelmer.net/the-kolomoisky-pyramid-started-with-hillary-clinton-and-victoria-nuland-of-the-state-department-plus-christine-lagarde-of-the-imf/ …
25/ Kolomoisky subsequently reported to have embezzled $1.7 billion from IMF funds provided to PrivatBank (which he controlled)https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ukraine-privatbank-insight/ukraine-money-go-round-how-1-7-billion-in-bank-loans-ended-up-offshore-idUSKBN1FD0G5 …
26/ here's what Hunter Biden's patron, Zlochevsky, looks like. Most people would be a bit cautious in becoming a director of one of his companies. But not money-hungry drug-addled Hunter.pic.twitter.com/SCVTZuvV6s
27/ interview with Shokin here where he gives opposite story to Kasko. Which is true? Don't see how Bloomberg or others can tell from a distance.https://strana.ua/articles/interview/199721-viktor-shokin-lutsenko-na-kolenjakh-prosil-poroshenko-naznachit-eho-henprokurorom-a-teper-spasaet-sebja.html …
28/ here's an excellent article by Alexander Cockburn on how Nuland and Hillary-backed Kolomoisky embezzled $1.8 billion (!!!) of IMF money using Privat Bank. https://harpers.org/blog/2015/08/undelivered-goods/ … Kolomoisky is said to be backer of Zelensky. If Trump was concerned about theft, good reason
