They cut his mic now to keep him from finishing his rambles.
Perhaps they have played him out to the end, we shall see.

Biden seemed to boast about it, saying that during a visit to Kyiv -- likely in December 2015 -- he told Ukrainian officials: "We're leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money."
"Well, son of a bitch," Biden continued. "He got fired."
Shokin was indeed fired, but not until March that year.
LOL
You need to look past the headlines. You're looking silly!
two months before Hunter Biden joined Burisma's board, British authorities had requested information from Shokin's office as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering by Zlochevskiy. Shokin ignored them.
Kaleniuk and AntAC published a detailed timeline of events surrounding the Burisma case, an outline of evidence suggesting that three consecutive chief prosecutors of Ukraine -- first Shokin’s predecessor, then Shokin, and then his successor -- worked to bury it.
"Ironically, Joe Biden asked Shokin to leave because the prosecutor failed [to pursue] the Burisma investigation, not because Shokin was tough and active with this case," Kaleniuk said.

Its a formal process that cant drag on for 12 months like the Jan6 committee circus did.
Biden was appointed by Obama a the head of a US Convoy to Ukraine, to carry out US policy, which was to tell Ukraine to get rid of Shokin, or no $$$. The IMF had the same policy.
In addition to the US and the EU, senior IMF officials, including Christine Lagarde, the former managing director, forcefully called on Ukraine to boost its reform efforts, including anti-corruption measures, in early 2016, before Mr Shokin was ousted. The fund’s focus was on institutions rather than individuals, IMF officials said.
“Poroshenko will have to come up with something very meaningful in terms of cabinet changes and perhaps even a change in the much-criticised public prosecutor’s office to regain credibility,” he said.
The president has come under pressure at home and internationally for refusing to replace a long-time loyalist, Viktor Shokin, as chief prosecutor. Mr Shokin has been criticised for failing to bring to justice any of the snipers who killed dozens of protesters in central Kiev in the final days of the revolution, and for dragging his feet over investigating senior officials and businesspeople.

"I have said repeatedly in my previous interviews that Poroshenko fired me at the insistence of then Vice President, because I was investigating Burisma." "There were no complaints whatsoever, no problems, with how I was performing at my job, but because pressure was repeatedly put on President Poroshenko, that is, what ended up in him firing me," Shokin said.
"I developed a very firm understanding of the fact that Vice President, the Vice President was only acting in his own interests. He generally speaking, handled Ukraine like it was his own backyard. He would put people that were suitable for him. He would arrange for them to be put in certain positions."

What you have is Joe Biden bragging and taking personal credit for an Intenational effort, including the US Envoy to Ukraine, formed by President Obama that he appointed Biden to head, to oust Shokin.

The Classified Documents stolen and kept for years by Senator/VP Biden, will be the biggest crime in his criminal portfolio.
:
Perhaps he declassified them with his mind like trump did.

Don't forget that Republicans in the Senate already looked into Hunter's business dealings in 2020 and were unable to turn up anything tying Biden to them.

The court ruled yesterday that unless Trump can prove he declassified a document, all documents marked classified will be treated as such.
