The US called for Shokin to be investigated and/or removed at least twice in 2015

Do you know why?
Do you know how that conversation got started?
If you don't, you should.

US actions in Ukraine during the 2014-2017 timeframe stink to high heaven. There are appearances of a money laundering apparatus run through the US Embassy in Kiev. US taxpayer funding for Shokin's investigations and/or the NABU, disappeared. Shokin brought accounting errors to attention of the US Ambassador who told Shokin it was none of his business . . . . money promised to Shokin's UGP office to help fund investigations was "none of his business." Instead, much of funding the UGP was supposed to receive instead was funnelled outside of accounting channels to David Sakvarelidze. Sakvarelidze was a foreign plant put in place for the apparent sole purpose of undercutting the UGP. He is the same guy now claiming anyone looking into Joe, Hunter, and/or Burisma is "deeply corrupt".

Let's put it another way. What is the harm in Ukraine looking at this? What are you worried about? Why are Dems working so hard to obstruct the effort?

What is the harm with the UK, Italy, and Australia looking into the Trump campaigns ties to Russia and sharing that information with the US to justify an investigation?

Seems to me that anyone who is upset with spygate should oppose this back-channel fishing expedition too.

I don't see an issue with it. He didn't ask the Ukrainian leader to indict or imprision Bidden...he askes him to work with the US Attny

Also..i had enough Left tell me during the Mueller investigation that I should be happy that - opened ended ...well find what we find onvestigation - tax fraud issues were brought to light. "If Manafort was doing something illegal then its a good thing that he was caught"...i would apply the same logic here
