Friend,

 

Newly uncovered documents show that Joe Biden was NOT acting in line with U.S. policy as VP when he threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine until Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was fired!

This was all happening while Shokin was aggressively investigating corruption by Burisma Holdings, who paid Hunter Biden over $1,000,000.

This is huge. It completely undercuts the Democrats narrative going all the way back to 2019 when they used it as the pretense to impeach President Trump.

An October 2015 memo summarizing the recommendation of the Interagency Policy Committee (a task force created to advise the Obama White House on whether Ukraine was cleaning up its endemic corruption and deserved more Western foreign aid) shows that U.S. policy did not call for a threat to withhold funding!

 

Biden made the threat in December 2015, two months after the memo was published, and no other documents show the U.S. policy called for Shokin to be fired.

 

On top of that, State Department officials sent Viktor Shokin a personal note saying they were “impressed” with his office’s work to clean up corruption and even invited his staff to Washington in January of 2016 for a “strategy session”.

 

And don’t forget, sworn testimony from Devon Archer holds that Burisma was putting constant pressure on Hunter Biden to “get help from Washington” regarding Viktor Shokin.

 

Democrats can’t hide from this much longer, the truth is coming out, whether they like it or not.

This is backed up by an audio tape of a conversation between Ukrainian President Poroshenko and VP Biden from March 2016.

 

Poroshenko told Biden “Despite of the fact that we didn’t have any corruption charges, we don’t have any information about him doing something wrong, I especially asked him … No, it was the day before yesterday. I especially asked him to resign”.

 

This new evidence makes Biden’s 2019 claim that he “did nothing wrong” and “carried out the policy of the United States government in rooting out corruption in Ukraine” even more suspect.

 

Nobody, including Joe Biden, has come forward with a plausible explanation for why Shokin was fired…

 

…which is exactly why the media and Democrats are attacking me so aggressively.

 

It’s exhausting to be constantly attacked and smeared by the Democrats and their allies in the media. Thankfully, I have thick skin from growing up in rural Kentucky, and having my friends standing with me makes all the difference.

 

If you’re able, I would appreciate your help as I fight back against the relentless lies and smears.

 

With Courage,

 

James Comer
