of an impeachable offense peace river
season with an official impeachment
inquiry ukraine finds itself at the
center of america's impeachment
investigation after Donald Trump
repeatedly asked his Ukrainian
counterpart Vladimir zalenski to
investigate the family of the former
Vice President Joe Biden it's a
complicated story even for those of us
who are following it every day so here's
a quick rundown of what we do and we
don't know so what were the Biden's
doing in Ukraine in 2015 we've stepped
up with official assistance to help
backstop Ukrainian economy well Joe was
the vice president and the focal point
of American policy so he visited often
Maurice Moe is the lead his son Hunter
was the well-paid director of a
controversial energy company called Burr
yzma which has links to the pro-russian
government which had just been
overthrown at the time some people said
that that was a conflict of interest so
did Joe Biden get ukraine's prosecutor
general a man called victor shock in
sacks well he certainly boasted about it
this is him speaking last year I said
I'm telling you not getting a billion
dollars I said you're not getting a
billion I'm gonna be leaving here I
think it was about six hours I look at I
said we leave in six hours if the
prosecutors not fired you're not getting
the money
you're fired so what's President Trump
saying about it well he wants Ukraine to
investigate whether there's a link
between the sacking of mr. shockin and
hunter Biden's company unless they fired
the prosecutor who was looking at his
son and his son company the company that
has done work with and that's very
dishonest thing so is there any evidence
to support what President Trump is
saying if there is well we haven't seen
it yet but it is not true that
prosecutor shocking was tough prosecutor
who was willing to investigate verismo
absolutely
to the contrary prosecutor shocking was
dumping this investigation and I have
evidence of that I'm following this
investigation since 2013 shocking his
predecessor and the next prosecutor
after Shakira Ural Sanko they all were
contributing to kill in this case so
there's there's no evidence that
suggests that Vice President Biden acted
differently because his son was on the
board of a Ukrainian energy company
because you haven't seen this evidence
I've seen the actions which show
absolutely the contrary what happened so
why then did Joe Biden wonder the
prosecutor general sacked well at the
time there was widespread consensus
among international donors like the IMF
and the EU and also locally here among
activists there mr. shockin was an
obstacle to the fight against corruption
and that he had to go
