    I was searching through government press release archives regarding this matter.

    What I've noticed is that the most mainstream media sources conveniently ignore (lie via omission????) a lot significant events.

    Here is a timeline that I am presenting, but it is incomplete. And although I have substantiated most of it, there are still some events I would like others to substantiate.

    When you investigate the timeline, it's hard to come to any other conclusion.

    Why did Biden hold back the loan guarantees until he got his "solid" guy (Lutsenko, who Biden already knew was corrupt because he had recently served prison time for blatant corruption), installed to lead the PG office?

    THINK!

    Don't forget the other part of the timeline:

    February of 2014 - Russia invaded the Crimea. Putin had his eye on seizing the natural gas reserve under the Crimea and the Black Sea.

    February of 2014 - Sanctions were placed on Russia for its aggressive takeover of the Crimea.

    March 2014 - Putin was successful and made plans to build a new pipeline into Crimea. Part of the South Stream extension...

    https://www.rbth.com/business/2014/...eam_route_could_run_through_crimea_35791.html

    April of 2014 - The Obama administration cut a deal with Rienzi in Italy to turn a blind eye while Koch-Glitsch-Italia sold pipeline gas transfer equipment to Putin to use for his new South Stream pipeline going into the Crimea.
    The money was transfer through a Burisma holding company contracted by Naftogaz, by way of a backdoor deal involving the Koch-Glitsch Italia branch administrator Natalia Cherenkova and CFO Elena Romanova who arranged for the money to be laundered by way of Latvia and Cyprus...

    April 2014 - To provide cover for Burisma and the Obama administration, Hunter Biden ends up on the Burisma board of directors.

    The aid package was announced during April as well...
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...elp-condemns-corruption-idUSBREA3L0VI20140422


    May 2014 - Part of the US aid package set up to help the Ukraine pay off its energy debts is partially routed back to US interests from a grateful Vladimir Putin. Hunter Biden is just one of many who enjoyed the windfall cash cow.

    It didn't take very long for the US players to start to receive the kickbacks in 2014... https://obamawhitehouse.archives.go...act-sheet-us-assistance-ukraine-february-2014

    Then Joe Biden got involved when the Ukraine investigators started to take a close look at Burisma.


    Yep... Joe Biden just happened to shake down the Ukraine government and get Shokin fired for altruistic reasons........... :alcoholic:

    One has to wonder how much of Obama's Martha's Vineyard estate was paid for by way of the Rienzi-Putin deal.

    Giuliani found the money laundering trail but the look through the window was limited by the way in which it was all set up to look like loan payments. A common way in which money is laundered.
    If Hunter Biden had been receiving money directly from the Burisma ledger, there would have been no need to launder it.

    And remember, Papadopoulos was targeted while he was still working for Ben Carson. Why? Because he was knowledgeable about the gas industry in the region and had numerous contacts in both Cyprus and Italy.

    Yovanovitch confessed that the State Department denied Shokin a passport. It seems likely that they did not want Shokin talking to the US mass media.

    Obama admitted that his administration negotiated a "transition of power" (aka orchestrated a coup) in Ukraine in 2014. Many people were killed in the bloody mess.

    As a result of the democratically elected government of Ukraine being ousted, the people in Crimea had no legitimate representation in Kiev. So they held a referendum in Crimea and overwhelmingly voted to secede from Ukraine. Then of course they voted to join the Russian Federation.

    So, as a very predictable result of the Obama-backed regime change (aka coup) Putin's Russian Federation got the entire very strategically located Crimean peninsula, but what did the Obama administration get in return? Just a few million bucks for Hunter? That could not have been the entirety of the quid pro quo. That seems like a raw deal, doesn't it?

    Great work on the timeline. I don't think you will have any Leftists finding the facts and timelines something they want to review.

    I can understand why Democrats would want to sweep it under the rug, because Biden seems to be their goto guy in the 2020 election.

    And when you look at the timeline, it's about more than fraud. The Ukrainian SBU still has an open case regarding the attempted assassination via sniper attack on PG Shokin.

    We know by his own admission that Joe Biden wanted Shokin gone.

    And a sniper fired 3 shots at him. Coincidence perhaps? That's attempted murder! A more serious crime than mere run of the mill corruption/extortion/bribery. I sure hope the CIA wasn't behind that botched job. If they are it might be in the USA's best interests to just leave it unsolved.

    This isn't just about Biden.
    There are several individuals who don't want the Burisma money laundering issue to see the light of day.

    Biden had links to one of Blue Star Strategies’ co-founders — Sally Painter, a former senior adviser for the Clinton administration.

    "A team from Blue Star Strategies, including John Buretta, a lawyer who served as a senior official in the Obama Justice Department, had two meetings in Ukraine with its top prosecutor, Yuriy Lutsenko, in 2016.
    Lutsenko replaced Viktor Shokin, whom Joe Biden has stated publicly he pressured Ukraine to fire."

    Senator Johnson has had stiff resistance from Blue Star Strategies. They have refused several discovery requests.

    The same lunatic that lies daily is the same lunatic who is lying about Joe Biden. There is not credible evidence of wrong-doing by Biden, just the machinations of a lunatic: Crazy Donnie.

    Yuriy Lutsenko was the former Interior Minister of Ukraine. He was sentenced to prison after he was tried and convicted of charges including using the police to conduct illegal surveillance on his political party's opponents.

    And according to this contemporaneous press report, Yuriy Lutsenko was pardoned by ex-president Yanukovytch following a personal "appeal" (aka bribe?) by former Polish President Alexander Kwasniewski.

    https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-yanukovych-lutsenko-pardon/24950001.html']Yanukovych Pardons Tymoshenko Ally Lutsenko, Five Others

    What do Alexander Kwasniewski and Hunter Biden have in common? They were both on the board of directors of Burisma together.

    So, in a nutshell, Hunter Biden's fellow Burisma director Alexander Kwasniewski got Yuriy Lutsenko pardoned, then Joe Biden got prosecutor General Viktor Shokin fired by threatening to cut off US aid to Ukraine.

    And Prosecutor General Shokin was replaced with Lutsenko.

    WTF!!!

    So?

    Is this going to cost Biden the Election?

    It seems to me like this story was dead and buried MONTHS AGO.

    Just like this THREAD.

    Which hadn't been posted in for almost 6 months.:bored:

    The whole Burisma BS is Ancient News, Nobody Cares, and it won't move the needle.

    If this story was "buried months ago", then why are you yelling about it in all caps?

    Should it be buried? Why or why not?

    Apparently some very powerful people think it should be buried.

    Why do you suppose they want it buried?

    LMAO...bless you. Your dedication to propping up trump’s brain fart is admirable, if misguided.
    Unfortunately for you, nobody gives a rat’s ass about it after 4 years of listening to the orange dotard cry wolf.

    OP: interesting to think that the average guy off the street is to solve this little puzzle when law enforcement has failed. You should forward this investigative journalism to Trump toady Barr, see if he'll bite.

    It was a commendable effort, but hearsay and innuendo don't equal evidence

    Is English your first language? You should learn how to use the apostrophe if you want to sound more convincing.

    I am still trying to figure out why somebody would even *bump* this Utterly Ludicrous Totally DISCREDITED BS "topic" after almost 7 Months?:bored:

    This stuff was dead and buried AGES Ago.

    It isn't even worthy of taking up bandwidth at PF, unless it was posted in the Conspiracy Section.

    If you get the prosecutor who is investigating your company fired and have him replaced with your buddy who just got out of jail for being a crooked cop, then law enforcement might fail.

    Are you bragging about it like Quid Pro Joe?
