[QUOTE="fishtm2001, post: 4704475, member: 54375"] It's really quite funny how you and others on the right have the whole Burisma story backwards. The Obama administration and other governments and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-governmental_organization']non-governmental organizations[/URL] were concerned that Shokin was not adequately pursuing corruption in Ukraine, was protecting the political elite, and was regarded as "an obstacle to anti-corruption efforts". Among other issues, he was slow-walking the investigation into Zlochevsky and Burisma and, according to Zlochevsky's allies, using the threat of prosecution to try to solicit bribes from Mr. Zlochevsky and his team – to the extent that Obama officials were considering launching their own criminal investigation into the company for possible money laundering.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Shokin#cite_note-sorting-40'][[/URL] [/QUOTE]
