Are you sure he was referring to Lutsenko? Are you sure he wasn’t referring to Shokin? You know, the guy who was fired in March 2016 for supposedly, according to Biden himself, not prosecuting corruption cases? I’m sure that had nothing to do with those pesky emails from February 2016 that Burisma wrote to the state department regarding them being investigated by Shokin, and reminding the State department Hunter Biden is on their Board, right? I’m sure that was all a coincidence, but you knew all of that, right?

I think you’re making a lot of assumptions on things you are not informed enough on

Ah, good point. I had Shokin and Lutsenko confused. But it seems that Lutsenko was shut down also. I had read that Lutsenko was appointed Prosecutor General in 2016 despite having no legal training. And Lutsenko was the point man in communication with Giuliani. It was Lutsenko had pushed to get rid of Ambassador Yovanovitch, but had frustrated Giuliani when he failed to announce an investigation into Burisma. So it’s my understanding that’s what led to Trump mentioning the investigation to Zelensky in the call.

That’s why I had him in mind. So thank you for the info.
