  1. The issue with Jordan’s claim that Biden got Shokin fired to benefit his son or as a result of his son’s business dealings stems from the fact that Shokin was widely viewed as being part of the Ukrainian legacy of corruption. Both U.S. policy, dubbed inside the Obama administration “big hugs and little punches,” and EU policy at the time was to apply pressure to have him removed. “Joe Biden’s actions were consistent with bipartisan US policy, which sought to remove the prosecutor because he wasn’t doing enough to crack down on corruption – including at Burisma,” noted a CNN fact check. “The Obama administration, Senate Republicans, US allies, the International Monetary Fund, and Ukrainian anti-corruption activists, among others, had all made clear that they were displeased with the performance of Viktor Shokin, who became Ukraine’s prosecutor general in 2015,” the fact check noted, concluding: Replacing Shokin would’ve ramped up scrutiny of Burisma, not shut it down. It is not even clear how aggressively Shokin was investigating Zlochevsky or Burisma at the time Joe Biden pushed for Shokin’s firing.
