Well hell. He got his headline:
Ukraine’s new chief prosecutor said Friday his office will conduct an “audit” of an investigation into Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company that had recruited Hunter Biden for its board.
Prosecutor General Ruslan Ryaboshapka reiterated at a news conference Friday that he knows of no evidence of criminal activity by Biden. He said that he is aware of at least 15 investigations that may have touched on Burisma, its owner Nikolai Zlochevsky, an associate named Serhiy Zerchenko, and Biden, and that all will be reviewed. He said no foreign or Ukrainian official has been in touch with him to request this audit.
I guess you can’t blame them. They gain nothing from opposing the leader of the most powerful nation on earth. I doubt any of the countries he’s strongarming will fight him on this extortion. They will hold him up for things that really matter in exchange for these headlines
But if they think he will ever really defend them against his pal Putin, they have another thing coming.
