You do realize that the prosecutor was fired only a year and a half after that meeting with Biden right?

If Biden was fuming to get the guy fired then a year and a half seems like he took his sweet ass time.

Plus that prosecutor wasn’t even the one investigating Hunter, it was the guy that replaced the fired one! So why would Biden be fine with the new guy opening an investigation but not the old guy who was corrupt as hell?

Did you just make all of this up? Did you not hear Biden bragging about getting him fired? Is Biden lying again?

He got fired half a year after Biden said he asked for the guy to be fired. Why did they wait so long? Did they forget? If I was dead set on removing a threat, I wouldn't wait a six months to get around to it.

Also Biden stated before that event where he "bragged" that he asked for the prosecutor to be sacked because he failed to investigate Burisma. Not because he was.

This is basic information you could find, its not that hard to google. Stop listening to talking heads on the news.

Plus the case had been shelved by the Ukrainian government in 2014. There was no active case going on, so what would be the point in axing the prosecutor?

So now we're down to half a year from a year and a half and still no sources. I don't know man, I'm going to trust Jim Crow Joe on this instead of you.

So, not that hard to Google that you weren't able to?

Lmao, I misread the original article which said that the firing happened “the next year, six months later in March”.

Nice latching onto that instead of engaging anything else!

Whomp whomp.

Jesus Christ, I fucking hate Joe Biden, but all I’m asking for is sources. I don’t want to hate blindly.
