Here We Go: Ukraine Reviews Probe Into Corrupt Biden-Linked Gas Company

Support SouthFront

Originally appeared at ZeroHedge

After a week of non-stop “bombshell” leaks about the Democrats’ impeachment probe into President Trump, which is supposedly trying to determine whether Trump pressured the newly elected Ukrainian President to push for investigations into Joe and Hunter Biden and their ties to a domestic gas company, the media is now being forced to confront another uncomfortable reality: That Ukrainian prosecutors appear to be finally moving ahead with a review of an investigation into a Biden-linked gas company, even after the alleged “quid pro quo” had been taken off the table.

Here We Go: Ukraine Reviews Probe Into Corrupt Biden-Linked Gas Company

Barely 12 hours after President Trump “recommended” that Ukraine and China start looking into the Bidens, WSJ reports that Ukraine’s general prosecutor’s office is reviewing investigations into a gas company that once paid Hunter Biden $50,000 a month to sit on its board.

Though Democrats have continued to insist that it’s Trump, not Biden, who is truly guilty of corruption, the vice president doesn’t sound too comfortable with all of this new scrutiny. During an appearance in Nevada last night, Biden insisted that Trump won’t “destroy me” or “my family,” and accused the president of using “dirty tricks”.

If prosecutors decide to reopen the probe, that would be the clearest sign yet that the Bidens might get caught up in an investigation – vindicating President Trump’s efforts.

The investigations, which were closed in 2016, weren’t focused on Hunter Biden specifically.

Instead, investigators were looking into “tax irregularities” at Burisma Group, the private gas company in Ukraine that had hired Hunter to sit on its board. Investigators were also reportedly looking into allegations of money-laundering and illegal-enrichment tied to the company’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky.

Zlochevsky was never charged in the investigation, and his lawyer said at the time that the cases were closed due to lack of evidence, and that Zlochevsky was cleared of wrongdoing.

Of course, these conclusions are now being reexamined, even after Zelensky affirmed during a joint press conference that he wouldn’t pursue investigations simply because that’s what President Trump wanted.

Nancy Pelosi – son works for one of the Ukrainian energy firms. John Kerry – step son worked for one of the Ukrainian energy firms. Joe Biden – son worked for one of the Ukrainian energy firms.

Funny, how the kids of the Dems, had to go as far as Ukraine, to get a job?

Kurt Volker, who has a Senior position at the John McCain Foundation, ended up going to Ukraine as the Special Adviser? The US has just signed off on some more Javelin missiles. Now remind me, but, who works with the Javelin manufacturer? I wonder how much old Kurt made out of his time in Ukraine? Nice work, if you can get it, so comes to mind.

Together with Yeltsin, who sold out Russia, in the 90s, when the US were writing the laws and budgets and getting 80 cents for every $US of Russian energy sold.

This video get interesting around 4 minutes and 15 seconds:

Ukraine is Totally For Sale! Kurt Volkner Made An Absolute KILLING While Posted in Kiev!… https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=284&v=gBafgeprXCs

i wonder how much the John McCain foundation made out of Ukraine?

Tudor Miron

Very good points, Anna Maria.

AM Hants

Thank you. Sick isn’t it?

FlorianGeyer

The kids are just giving less talented kids in the US a better chance for ‘prosperity’ at home, whilst the kiddie devils spawn volunteer to help less advantaged nations in their quest to absorb American democratic Values, AM. :)

AM Hants

Haha, well when you look at it like that, their kindness and generousity just can’t stop flowing. Guess they must get it from their parents?

FlorianGeyer

Exactly, AM. Its similar to Prince Harry cavorting around Africa happily answering ‘pre-organised ‘ questions only and spreading the love of Royalty toward dirt poor nations that willingly gave so much to the UK.

A royal version of VSO. Or as Prince Philip might easily have said ‘ Sod the Carbon Footprint ‘.

AM Hants

Wee Harry, appears addicted to suing the media, at the moment. If only he met the father-in-law and didn’t rub the poor man’s nose in it, then they would not have a problem. Including the wife. Have no idea why the Royals allowed that marriage to go ahead, or try to get the family on side. Must admit, I was hoping he would go to Africa on a one way ticket.

FlorianGeyer

By rowing boat preferably. AM.

AM Hants

Haha, so long as there is enough room for the wife in it.

FlorianGeyer

Her ego would keep the boat afloat in a storm, AM. Rather like a lifeboat.

AM Hants

Who needs sails when you have Merkle Helium and Ego, at the helm? Have no idea why the RF welcomed her into the fold. Old Edward was exiled for far fewer reasons, when he took up with Wallis.

frankly

So another thread tells of a Washington think tank making a good case that the Ukraine has evolved into the new international headquarter for the 4th Reich and this one alleges all the Democrats are there to line their pockets.

You know I am at heart a simple person. I never got past the pictures of Victoria Nuland serving donuts to the Maiden organizers. Their snipers shot demonstrators and police both, one of the defining tactics of color revolutions. Some of the Nazi minions burned people alive those days, sweet fella’s! The picture of the murdered pregnant woman haunts me still.

The leaked audio of Vicky giving us a clear vision of how leaders in foreign countries are decided was also graphic, as was her explicit vetoing of any European sovereignty in the matter.

So now they go back and investigate? What does this mean, they succeeded in eliminate the snipers who’s sworn affidavit was filed after they went into hiding?

Biden, our new preordained impeccable savior, brags on video how he strong armed the Ukrainians to fire the AG who was obviously getting warm going after baby Biden’s buddies and we only had to pay a billion dollars to keep baby B gainfully employed.

It’s really business as usual but using tax payers dollars to secure your son’s paycheck is not very efficient. Now you have to kill the witnesses and hire a bunch of lawyers to turn stunning revelations into, boring…, the judge is in our pocket so it will have a few shocking headlines, but in the end they will get OJed. It’s not exactly a get out of jail free as it costs a lot of money, how do you like paying it?

It’s simple, remove any mandate for politicians. Everyone register to vote. On the big day Spoil your ballet with one word Tulsi! Don’t worry she won’t be on the ballet. After all this is a democracy.

AM Hants

Nice summary. The heavily pregnant cleaner, who was strangled, raped then burnt alive, in the Odessa Trade Union Building, 2 May 2014, is an image/memory that will stay with me for life. Together with the horror that my own Government, said nought, and neither did the MSM.

frankly

Meaningful complement coming from you, thanks. Yeah pretty ugly images. Not only did they not say anything I came away with the impression that they made it happen!

Not sure what justice would look like for the guys who did that. Long and slow comes to mind. Buried in sand to the neck in a desert, come back and give them some water, from time to time.

AM Hants

‘Not only did they not say anything I came away with the impression that they made it happen!’

Must admit, I came away with exactly the same opinion. Now I can no longer vote, any party, owing to the fact not one of our politicians in the UK, voiced any concern for those kids who were burnt alive in a so called civilised nation, who embrace the Nazi Party. I just see a vote, represents approval to carry on the genocide and ethnic cleansing script.

Merkel and Obama, out in the Rose Garden, over in the White House, whinging, whining and moaning about Russia, whilst kids were being burnt alive, in the Odessa Trade Union Building. Accelerants used and then to see youngsters, jumping from the building, whilst on fire and being beaten when they fell to the ground. Ironically, there was a photo of a Hong Kong Police Officer, who the protesters tried to set on fire, just a few days ago. Using the same tactics as they used in Odessa and the parallels between the Maidan and Hong Kong Protests, ironically created by the same political savages, reliant on tax payer funding.

AM, that dumbfuck sick shit אהרון calls the Donbass Defenders ‘terrorists’, remind him every time about this. Not only that, he turns people away from supporting Jews, I consider him a spawn of satan.

AM Hants

The most anti-semetic tribes on earth are the Khazarians. When you look at what they have done, to the biblical jews, whilst blaming others and still do so today. The Khazarians, together with the AshkeNAZIs, who were nomadic Turkic Tribes, who adopted Christianity, Judea and Islam, whilst studying Hebrew. Why is it they keep getting thrown out of places, wherever they go and simply cannot manage to live in peace, with anybody?

Ralph London

Maybe they are the ones which the Bible refers to as satanists, or of the synagogue of satan? Rev 2:9 & 3:9.

Ralph London

He is so fucked in the head, that he is turning people away from Jews with his bullshit, so that if they ever need defending, like here in Britain, he makes that so much less likely, that we would more likely just walk on by.

AM Hants

With you there.

Ralph London

Who is אהרון, AM? How long has he been posting?

AM Hants

It is Russ, and he popped up following MH17 with his mate Govert. They got banned, and Govert has come back as Bruno and Russ has come back as Mr Squiggle (thanks Mike and Otto).

They basically will try and wind you up, in the hope that the Mods will come down heavy on you and ban you. So don’t give them that satisfaction. Blocking them, is the best way. Guess you do not pick up your bonus if you are blocked.

frankly

All under the lovely Pro-Democracy banner. As if a massive PR expenditure somehow erases things like The Opium Wars, or Trumps wall will make the Mexican-American war Ok. They aren’t sneaking into our territory, simply returning to their historical birthplace.

Yeah severe burning has got to be one of the cruelest. Yet we fund and defend these fuckers. It’s really somewhat terrifying to see where we are compared to how our MSM present us, the contrast is profoundly stark.

AM Hants

Putin’s attitude in the Ukraine seems to me, is if this is how you want to live, so be it, we will still be here to help when you get sick of Nazis.

…………

Sums it up perfectly and wonder when they will realise they have been played. Cannot see the East wanting anything to do with the Nazi lovers.

……….

I mentioned in another comment, that I was watching ‘Hilary’s America’, by Dinesh D’Souza and Bruce Schooley. I had seen pieces of the film, back during the US Presidential Campaign, but,watching it on a computer is not the same as on the TV. So I happily got it running on the TV and watched it again. I would thoroughly recommend it and explains so much, with regards with toxic, satanist, running the show today. With regards Uranium One, the Clintons good mate Frank Guistro, allegedly made $300 million, courtesy of the Clintons introducing him to the project and of course he gave the Clinton Foundation a bonus for their troubles.

‘The best way to fleece the masses is under the guise of charity’ – which no doubt explains why so many politicians set up their own foundations.

frankly

America has a long infatuation with Nazis. Hoover sent his #2 to Germany in 1938 and came back impressed and ready to implement what he’d found on his trip. Of course operation paperclip integrated all the elite of Germany into US education, business, military and government. Then oops reread your note.

Wrote all that having misread, you said the East not the West. I would say given all the new Russian citizens from Ukraine that you are right. It seems likely that most Ukrainians had little enthusiasm for Nazis. Problem is a violent minority can dominate then subjugate the sane. This has spread worldwide.

The handwriting is on the wall however and more and more feel that old slavery gig closing in. Comparing notes, organizing. Genetically I would say most of us are wired to revolt against enslavement.

As noted before, the Zio dominance of the Nazis in Ukraine just freaks me out. How is that expression? Hate is closer to love than indifference. Takes on a whole new meaning with those two.

Too me it is ok to write the history over and over even when chatting with old timers as their will be newbies around who will go and get acquainted with all the actual history of the past.

AM Hants

The violent minority – so sick of them having so much power and for what? Together with the unhinged media, fully supporting them all.

Do believe they have kicked off in Iraq, just as Iraq was getting friendly with Syria and Iran and new roads were being opened. All of it run by the same crowd, no matter where regime change is required.

Just cannot wait for them to be neutered and publicly held accountable for all their crimes.

verner

on the whole I think it’s a good thing to get rid of bidé and his son. I sort of have a feeling that trump, however messed up he is, still works away to be the commander in chief whose decisions ain’t countermanded by every joe and bill in the DOD or the DOJ or CIA or NSA or FBI or any other alphabetsoup-organization. still think trump is in favour of talking rather than war, think north korea, think russia, think iran and so on – all those instances were stymied by people like bolton, like fatso and so on. trump believe that he is the supreme negotiator and let him think so if the outcome s talks rather than weapons rattling.

frankly

Kettle, pot, black! Biden insisted that Trump won’t “destroy me” or “my family,” and accused the president of using “dirty tricks”. But vice versa is hunky dory

LavXolm

I had always read that Igor Kolomoiskii was the name behind Burisma. Not reading him mentioned anymore. What’s up with that? Regarding the Bidens, don’t the MSM dirt chasers have any skepticism about potential Biden corruption? He was the point man for the US after the coup, parading around Maidan with CIA Director Brennan during the turmoil, only to soon have his son on the BoD of the second largest privately owned energy company in Ukraine at $50,000 month salary and “whatever other remuneration?” Stock options or grants? Joe Biden is obsessed with Crimea. Burisma has designs on the energy potential off Crimean waters. Biden has been the loudest voice in government advocating confronting Russia over Crimea. Would he be willing to risk war with another nuclear superpower because it could potentially lead to a Biden family fortune regardless? I’m at the cynical point of believing that yes, he would. If anything deserves serious investigation, this Biden situation does.

AM Hants

For some reason his name is kept out of it, but, Burisma Holdings, ended up under the control of the Privat Group, in 2012, which was headed by Igor Kolomoisky.

‘… This is what one careful Ukrainian journalist dug up in 2012:

…Burisma changed owners last year: instead of Zlochevsky and Lisin, the company was taken over by a Cypriot off-shore enterprise called Brociti Investments Ltd. Pari and Esko-Pivnich also changed their address: they moved from Kateryny Bilokur Street to 10a Rylyeyeva Street in Kyiv. A third company was already waiting for them in the same building – the above-mentioned Ukrnaftoburinnya.

R. Hunter Biden Should Declare Who Really Owns His New Ukrainian Employer, Burisma Holdings Posted on May 21, 2014

The owners of Ukrnaftoburinnya, Pari, and Esko-Pivnich were finally confirmed through first-hand sources. Oleh Kanivets worked as CEO of Ukrnaftoburinnya for two years. He confirmed who actually controlled the above-mentioned companies to “Slidstvo.Info”.

”The Privat Group is the immediate owner. This company was founded by Mykola Zlochevsky some time ago, but he later sold his shares to the Privat Group”.

There’s that address again: 10a Ryleeva St., Kiev, Ukraine.

The identification of Privat Group as the owner of Burisma, though unconfirmed, is logical enough. Privat Group is a conglomerate controlled by the ferocious Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky…’ https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/05/r-hunter-biden-declare-owns-new-ukrainian-employer-burisma-holdings.html

………….

The above article is heavy going, but, well worth reading. Also, heard that Burisma, was originally set up back in 2002 and Leonid Kuchma, the President of Ukraine and Victor Pinchuk’s father-in-law was meant to be involved.

When did President Putin kick out the oligarchs, that refused to be loyal to Russia and where did they scatter? I wonder if it is a coincidence, with the timing of it all and was Burisma a shell company at the time, judging by the above article?

The dimms are just compromised fools. The real enemy is the criminal Cocaine Import Army. They want Trump out because he wants to withdraw from Afghanistan where GIs are protecting the opium and heroine operations that fund black ops. Drug profits are probably some of the trillions of dollars of unexplained expenditures during the recent audit of the Pentagon books. Just as JFK stopped Bay of Pigs, Trump also balked from starting the war with Iran after all the trouble they went to providing him a pretext. He fired their war monger Bolton. The Inbred Dynastic Banker Clans (deep state) who colonized the US are worried about their “Greater Israel project”. If the US can’t defeat Iran, Syria, Iraq, Hezbollah and possibly Russia, then Israel is screwed. They want to go for broke. They want Trump out of the way but are afraid to JFK him. They will try to install the giggling maniac Hillary who so gleefully murdered Libya.

AM Hants

I am just reading an article over on Sputnik, which has got me thinking. it mentions the Clintons getting involved in Ukraine, back in 2004. Wasn’t that when the first Orange Revolution went down? Not forgetting the President of the time, Kuchma, didn’t he benefit from the Orange Revolution.

Leonard Kuchma, who allegedly set up Burisma Holdings, which is heavily aligned with the Atlantic Council, plus, moved to the control of Kolomoisky, but, was Punchuk, still involved, when Burisma ended up under the control of the Privatt Group. Kolomoisky, who is one of the mentors of the new Ukrainian President Zelensky, with Soros, good friend of the Clintons, who also moved into Ukraine, for the gas and oil resources, one of the other Zelensky mentors. Funnily enough, Soros Open Society, together with Google, Rockefeller Group and US State Department, are also heavily involved in the NATO think tank, known as the Atlantic Council.

‘…”I believe that The William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation (its original legal name) became involved in Ukraine by 2004, even though it then had no valid legal authority to operate outside of Little Rock, Arkansas, let alone in Ukraine”, he notes referring to the “Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative” and its cooperation with Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk and his wife Olena Franchuk, the daughter of Ukraine’s second president, Leonid Kuchma…’ https://sputniknews.com/analysis/201910051076971115-impeachment-how-ukrainegate-turned-spotlight-on-the-dems-george-soros-hillary-and-bill-clinton/

……………………….

Victor Pinchuk, who gave the Clinton Foundation over $25 million plus. I wonder what an Ukrainian oligarch gets for a $25 million donation to the Clinton Foundation? The same Victor Punchuk, who controls the Yalta, but, not in Crimea, Russia, Summit. Whose father-in-law, Leonid Kuchma, just had to be the representative of Ukraine, with regards the Minsk II Agreement.

Nancy Pelosi, whose son is a director on one of the Ukrainian energy companies and is also good friends to an Ukrainian arms dealer, Oleg Pasternak. Adam Schiff, who got a lot of help from the Ukrainian arms dealer, Oleg Pasternak, with his Congess Campaign. Joe Biden and John Kerry, whose sons/step sons, were provided with lucrative positions, within Burisma Holdings. Kurt Volker, the US Special Representative, who was also a senior member of the John McCain Institute, and how much did he make from Ukraine, in his capacity as a lobbyist for one of the US defence industry corporations and also his links to the company which manufactures the Javelin. Nice that Ukraine, got the Javelin order processed, just after Volker resigned. His replacement, is meant to be another from the John McCain Institute and also with CIA connections. Not forgetting his work in the energy industry. I wonder if he will get the gig?

Anybody remember Lindsey Graham and John McCain, and their Christmas Tour of Ukraine, just before Trump moved into the White House? No wonder old Graham, is in no rush to investigate anything that came out of the Mueller Report and ‘Russia/Ukraine Gate’.

Here is an excellent article by the Legendary Matt Taibbii of the Rolling Stone on the subject of Ukrainegate:

It’s an insult to real whistleblowers to use the term with the Ukrainegate protagonist

Americans who’ve blown the whistle over serious offenses by the federal government either spend the rest of their lives overseas, like Edward Snowden, end up in jail, like Chelsea Manning, get arrested and ruined financially, like former NSA official Thomas Drake, have their homes raided by FBI like disabled NSA vet William Binney, or get charged with espionage like ex-CIA exposer-of-torture John Kiriakou. It’s an insult to all of these people, and the suffering they’ve weathered, to frame the ballcarrier in the Beltway’s latest partisan power contest as a whistleblower.
