Just in time for the 2020 election, the Biden Burisma scandal is back in the news.
Ukraine prosecutors held a press conference where they displayed $6 million U.S. dollars that were supposed to be used for “bribes” to stop criminal investigations into Hunter Biden’s former company “Burisma.” Thankfully, the prosecutors intercepted the money before it got to its intended mark.
Now, we need to know who sent that money. I have my suspicions, how about you?
Hey, Lindsey Graham, you listening? Start digging…
Ukrainian prosecutors said they intercepted a multimillion-dollar bribe intended to be used in an effort to stop a criminal investigation into the founder of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company that once employed Hunter Biden. former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, on its board.
At a Saturday news conference in Kyiv, Ukrainian authorities put on display a pile of U.S. currency wrapped in plastic bags they said was sent to government offices to stop a criminal investigation into Mykola Zlochevsky, Burisma’s founder and the former minister of ecology, who is suspected of using his government position for personal benefit.
Ukrainian prosecutor Nazar Kholodnitsky, tasked with investigating corruption, and Artem Sytnik, head of the country’s anti-corruption bureau, announced that three people, including a top taxation service official, were arrested in connection with the bribe. Neither of the Bidens were involved, according to Kholodnitsky.
Burisma claimed to have nothing to do with the attempted bribe.
Try and Dems might, this scandal isn’t going away.
Yes, we’ve been sidetracked with plagues and riots, but as we inch closer and close to 2020 this scandal will play a bigger role, especially since Ukraine’s are now doing their own investigation.
