The Hunter Biden story is one that needs to be told in its truth yet again, for many conservatives continue to misrepresent what happened.
Ukraine was a land with much corruption. The country put in place a prosecutor to look at all the shady activity. Viktor Shokin inherited that job, but was not doing anything. The international community began to demand he do something. U.S. diplomats up and down the line saw the need for him to either do something or to be removed from the position. Even the populace of Ukraine was upset, with a crowd of at least 200 protesting outside the office of the country's president, demanding that he fire Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin.
It was into this situation that Joe Biden stepped. He was hardly the first to call for Shokin's removal. He stepped in calling for Shokin's removal only after everyone else already had. The difference, though, is that Biden succeeded. He said, you either fire Shokin, or you lose this foreign aid.
Ukraine fired Shokin.
It is not even know if Hunter Biden's case was one Shokin was investigating. But, since everyone wanted him fired for not doing any investigating and prosecuting, it follows that if it was a case he was suppose to look into, he wasn't doing it. Joe Biden and everyone else wanted someone in the office who would do all the investigating. So, Joe Biden was hardly protecting his son by calling for someone else to take the office who actually would do the investigating and prosecuting.
