The Batshit Russian Counter-Narrative

1. Joe Biden held up aid to Ukraine until they fired the prosecutor who was  going after his son.
   
   
2. George Soros, a Ukrainian-native, and/or Crowdstrike, picked up the DNC computer server with Hillary Clinton's missing 30,000 emails on it and squirrelled it away in Ukraine
   
   
3. The Ukrainian government, who are against Trump, tried to frame the Trump campaign during the election by making it look like Russia was helping him
   

There are some problems with this narrative.  But Rudy Giuliani is still trying to confirm it.

And now Lindsey Graham wants Giuliani to come testify what he found. I wonder if he will?  He claims to have found "more than you can imagine" to support it.  

It would be interesting to see his evidence, to say the least.

If his legal team brings up this conspiracy theory in the Senate trial, they'll be laughed out of chambers.  Lindsey Graham wants Giuliani to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee "and tell us what you found" -- which would be interesting.

I don't understand why the Democrats are resisting having Hunter Biden testify.  They should encourage it.

Hunter was hired by the corrupt owner of Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky, to bolster the company's sagging reputation.  Hunter did essentially NOTHING, except lend his name, for $50,000/mo.  Meanwhile his dad arranged to have the corrupt prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, fired for not investigating Burisma.  Biden was doing the US government's business; his son was profiting off the OLD prosecutor (who failed to rein in Zlochevsky).

If these facts came out they'd BOLSTER the Democrats' case.  I don't understand why they're resisting.

In 2012, the Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Pshonka began investigating Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky, owner of the natural gas company Burisma Holdings, over allegations of money laundering, tax evasion, and corruption during 2010-2012.

]In 2015, Shokin became the prosecutor general, inheriting the investigation. The Obama administration and other governments and non-governmental organizations soon became concerned that Shokin was not adequately pursuing corruption in Ukraine, was protecting the political elite, and was regarded as "an obstacle to anti-corruption efforts".[22] Among other issues, he was slow-walking the investigation into Zlochevsky and Burisma and using the threat of prosecution to try to solicit bribes from Mr. Zlochevsky and his team – to the extent that Obama officials were considering launching their own criminal investigation into the company for possible money laundering.[33]

While visiting Kiev in December 2015, then-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden warned Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that, if he did not fire Shokin, the Obama administration was prepared to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees. Biden later said: "I looked at them and said, 'I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money.' [...] He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."[35][36] Shokin was dismissed by Parliament in late March 2016.

In a sworn affidavit dated 4 September 2019[37], for a European court, Shokin testified that "On several occasions President Poroshenko asked me to have a look at the criminal case against Burisma and consider the possibility of winding down the investigative actions in respect of this company, but I refused to close this investigation."[38] Shokin wrote the affidavit in support of Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash.[39] John Herbst, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine during the George W. Bush administration, said that Shokin's support of Firtash, who had been arrested for bribery in 2014, undercuts Shokin's claims to be motivated by transparency.[40][41]

Shokin claimed in May 2019 that he had been investigating Burisma Holdings.[29][42][43] However, Vitaly Kasko, who had been Shokin's deputy overseeing international cooperation before resigning in February 2016 citing corruption in the office, provided documents to Bloomberg News indicating that under Shokin, the investigation into Burisma had been dormant.[44][45]

The investigation into Burisma only pertained to events happening before[46] Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, joined the board of directors of Burisma Holdings in 2014.
