I'm suprised more Republicans don't want Biden to run again for 2024. Seems like an easy win. Then again, there is a chance the American people will just blind vote Biden into office which wouldn't be good.

The investigation was into Zlochevsky. It was launched by Shokin's predecessor and then seemingly stalled under Shokin, along with investigations into other oligarchs. That was the issue pretty much the entire West had with Shokin. He turned a blind eye to corruption.
If the goal was to stop investigations into Zlochevsky, why was the UK allowed to continue their investigation to the point that Zlochevsky went on the run for years?
If Biden's threat was so effective why was no sign taken until the IMF told Ukraine they would be withholding much more funds if Shokin wasn't removed?
The European Commission praised Ukraine’s Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin for his efforts to fight corruption in a December 2015 progress report published nine days after then-VP Joe Biden demanded his ouster.
The report flies in the face of Biden’s claims that the European Union joined his demands that Shokin be removed for being corrupt and obstructing anti-corruption reforms.

What I find somewhat amusing is that none of what is presented says "Joe Biden." It says "the Biden family."
If evidence exists then fine, he needs to go. But I have yet to see anywhere where Joe is actually tied to this.
What I need to see, to be convinced, is something tying him directly to this activity.

What's so ironically funny is the Democratic left would have chit themselves if they had half of this kind of evidence on Trump and his family.
…….
Actually, they do. Jared Kushner got 2 billion dollars from the Saudis a few months after leaving the Trump administration to run an investment company that all the financial advisers said he was totally unqualified to do.
