(2,461 posts)The Ukrainian government requested the AG to look into this initially. Like, 10 months ago or something? To their credit, the US AG didn't act on it .
My main take away: This is something the new Ukrainian prosecutor, is instigating. Trump is just an opportunist.
Barr didn't act. Why rock the boat unless necessary?
They are afraid of Biden, so now its necessary.
Trump is a shit head.
Other big money US interests have been deemed not so necessary.
Article from The Hill: Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived
By John Solomon 04/01/19 09:37 PM EDT
But then, as Bidens 2020 campaign ramped up over the past year, Lutsenko the Ukrainian prosecutor that Biden once hailed as a solid replacement for Shokin began looking into what happened with the Burisma case that had been shut down.
Lutsenko told me that, while reviewing the Burisma investigative files, he discovered members of the Board obtained funds as well as another U.S.-based legal entity, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, for consulting services.
Lutsenko said some of the evidence he knows about in the Burisma case may interest U.S. authorities and hed like to present that information to new U.S. Attorney General William Barr, particularly the vice presidents intervention.

Trump is apparently trying to extort Ukraine's government into inventing something to cause trouble for Bden.

(9,435 posts)The Ukrainians looked into it years ago. This is a fake controversy the RW is trying to manufacture against Biden. They are abusing their power to put pressure on a foreign government to make up dirt on Democratic Presidential candidate.

(2,461 posts)I don't doubt any of what you suggest. I'm just saying it will not go away and will be a problem. Not that its right that that should happen. The 24 hour news channels are horrible for gossip.

(2,461 posts)If I use IE, and search the last 24 hours for 'Biden Ukraine' DU comes up as the 3rd link. That's how search engines work - the more links, the higher the rank.
edit to explain: links = relevance in the whole algorithm thing. If you want to help your candidate, stay away from hot potatos.
I understand people want to fact check. maybe just copy paste some bits?
