KYIV -- When Viktor Shokin was fired as Ukraine's prosecutor-general in March 2016, after less than 14 months in the post, it was seen as a crucial development in a country under pressure to curb corruption and get serious about reforms. (Biden claimed he went there to get the investigation moving in the case of Burisma, the company that had been paying the Biden's millions of dollars in bribes. Even if we deny the evidence of the Biden family corruption in the company Shokin was investigating and had seized assets of for the first time ever, the real effect of Biden's interference was the closure of the investigation, thus sparing the Biden name from further exposure to criminal involvement with Burisma.) Now Shokin’s dismissal, and Ukraine itself, are at the center of a political whirlwind in Washington that is buffeting Donald Trump's presidency and playing into the 2020 White House race.

Here is a look at the arguments, facts, and evidence in the dispute pitting Trump against former Vice President Joe Biden, a front-runner for the Democratic nomination to challenge the incumbent in the election next year.

Trump and his allies, including his personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, accuse Biden of using his position as vice president and point man on relations with Kyiv in 2016 to help Burisma -- a Ukrainian energy company that was paying Biden's son Hunter, who was on its board of directors -- avoid damage from a criminal investigation.

They assert that Shokin was overseeing an active criminal investigation into Burisma and that Biden at the time told Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that the United States would withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees unless Shokin was fired.

But Ukrainian prosecutors and anti-corruption activists with knowledge of the matter argue that the timeline of developments in the Burisma case and Shokin's stint as chief prosecutor simply does not fit the narrative being put forward by Trump and his allies.

(The writer of this article is telling a bold-faced lie. Never mind that Schiff and his wicked cronies had Trump unjustly impeached for suggesting the Biden name was connected to Burisma, Joe Biden essentially had the investigation into Burisma shut down while claiming he got it moving again. That was a lie and the facts prove it.)

Moreover, they say that Shokin himself was the biggest obstacle standing in the way of the investigation. ("They" lied.)

Yes. Where does it say he was investigati.g the Biden's for fraud?

The fact is like all Maga cult nut jobs, everything is a conspiracy. Anything to blacken Biden's name but your all falling short.

If you want to argue then arm yourself with facts, not leftist lies.
