Joe Biden has been under fire lately for his reported involvement in pressuring the Ukrainian government to remove former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin from office.
In a meeting of foreign policy specialists, Biden bragged about strong-arming the Ukraine government to fire its top prosecutor. He further suggested that Barack Obama was aware and had a hand in the threat.
It has now come to light that Joe Biden had Shokin fired likey because he was investigating his son Hunter Biden. This revelation has sparked outrage amongst many and is seen as an abuse of power by some.
Democrats have been on an international smear campaign to try and discredit Viktor Shokin’s reputation since the news first broke out.
In response to these reports, Viktor Shokin filed a complaint against Joe Biden for interference in Ukraine’s legal proceedings.
To make matters worse, it was revealed that Ukraine launched criminal proceedings against President Joe Biden on allegations he pressured authorities into forcing the resignation of Shokin.
The implications of this situation are far-reaching as it could set a dangerous precedent for future leaders who might be tempted to use their political power for personal gain or benefit their family members at the expense of justice and democracy itself.
This incident raises questions about what constitutes appropriate conduct between two nations on both ethical and legal grounds, something which needs closer examination if we are truly going to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future.
In January 2020, fired Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin filed an official complaint against Joe Biden for interference in Ukraine’s legal proceedings.
Then in February 2020 Ukraine launched criminal proceedings against former US Vice-President Joe Biden on allegations he pressured authorities into forcing the resignation of Ukrainian Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin, Interfax-Ukraine news agency reports, quoting Shokin’s lawyer.
