    thinking about that video where Joe Biden bragged about strongarming Ukraine into dropping a corruption investigation. the media ignored it just like they ignored that tape of Tara Reade's mom then-anonymously calling in to (C-SPAN?) in 1993 and talking about her daughter's assault

    Joe Biden famously ordered (vid) the Ukrainian President Poroshenko to fire his General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin. He threatened to otherwise withhold a $1 billion loan to the Ukraine. Biden's pressure to fire Shokin came ten days after Shokin had confiscated several house of Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky. Shokin was eventually fired, the loan to the Ukraine was released and the corruption case against Zlochevsky was buried.
