Team Biden is in a panic as they could have the first presidential candidate to be investigated by a Special Counsel. The recently released recordings of a phone call between then VP Joe Biden and Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko, in which the two discussed the firing of top Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin. The conversation was the basis for the accusation that quid pro quo Joe was trying to save his little boy from prosecution for corruption.
Of course the Democrats are claiming without any proof whatsoever that the tape was doctored. This is what they do every time they get caught in a scandal. They insist that an investigation is not necessary, which is funny coming from Democrats who tried to use a fake impeachment to remove Trump from office or at least damage him for the 2016 election. Somehow, Democrats consider it corrupt to ask the Ukrainian government to look to see if an American VP acted corruptly but not to take action against corruption.
Mitt Romney was the only Republican to vote for impeachment. If I were Mitch McConnell, the only two committees I would allow Romney to serve on is the prom committee and the clean up committee and then only after a lot of soul searching.
Interesting stuff today materialized out of Ukraine. Ukraine, for those of you wearing face masks, is a nation that was vitally critical to US national interests right up to the point when President Trump’s impeachment charges were laughed out of a Senate that counts Mitt Romney among its members. Ukraine became a political battleground in the US because Joe Biden somehow managed to get his grifting, coke-sniffing, baby-daddy son a job on the board of a directors of a company in an industry with which he was not familiar in a country to which he has no family ties and can’t even speak the language of the rest of the board. Now debunked allegations that President Trump conditioned military assistance to Ukraine upon Ukraine investigating Joe Biden led to Trump’s kangaroo court session run by Jerry Nadler and the farcical Senate trial that followed.
Today some tapes were leaked by a Ukraine Member of Parliament named Andrii Derkach. Here are the tapes, in YouTube form, and here are key parts via Robby Starbuck on Twitter.
Here are the Joe Biden, John Kerry and Petro Poroshenko phone calls that appear to be evidence of a quid pro quo where Biden asks for Ukrainian Prosecutor Shokin (who was investigating Burisma where Hunter Biden worked) to be fired in exchange for a billion $ loan.

Part 3 of Biden, Kerry, Poroshenko calls leaked by Ukrainian MP Andrii Derkach. In this call note Biden’s apparent disdain for Minnesota. Poroshenko admits there’s no evidence Shokin has done anything wrong but is demanding his resignation for Biden.
