Think back if you can to the utter firestorm that exploded during the annual United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York City, coming just a day after Adam Schiff dropped a huge bombshell in a letter to acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire. The letter accused Maguire of withholding a whistleblower complaint submitted August 12 to the Intelligence Community Inspector General, who had deemed it credible and then sent it on to Maguire on August 26.
The complaint, released by the whistleblower’s lawyers at Compass Rose Law Firm
The nation was still reeling from three mass shootings in a row and the violent death of Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan federal prison cell, either at the hands of himself or someone else.
And the United Nations General Assembly annual meeting was about to begin.
Part IV: From ‘wanted man’ to ‘in demand’
How Burisma’s founder turned scrutiny into prestige
“I said I’m going to be leaving here in six hours. If the prosecutor’s not fired, you’re not getting a billion dollars. Well, son of a bitch. Got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid. At the time.” — Joe Biden, January 2018.

According to James Risen at The Intercept and Lucian Kim at National Public Radio, when Joe Biden called for a prosecutor to be fired in 2016, that prosecutor was not investigating Biden’s son Hunter; according to everyone in the Western world, Viktor Shokin was corrupt himself and had no interest in exposing corruption. Why, then, did Shokin’s replacement close the books on the investigation into Hunter’s employer, Burisma Holdings?
Wrote Risen: “The then-vice president issued his demands for greater anti-corruption measures by the Ukrainian government despite the possibility that those demands would actually increase – not lessen — the chances that Hunter Biden and Burisma would face legal trouble in Ukraine.”
Part III: Burisma’s Top Men
Billionaire Mykola Zlochevsky’s board has some unusual directors
By Tatiana Prophet
Before Hunter Biden, there were Joseph Cofer Black and Alan Apter. Black, currently a Burisma director and speaker at Burisma’s annual Energy Security Forum, is not a bean counter. For the CIA, he spent 20 years in Africa, and in 1994, he helped capture Carlos the Jackal in Khartoum, Sudan, according to a profile in The New York Times. Leading up to 9/11 saw Black in the top counterterrorism spot at the CIA. He was praised for predicting the event, and criticized for not having a better response plan. Black went to the State Department in 2002. As if that weren’t weird enough, he then went to military personnel contractor Blackwater from 2006 to 2008, and advised Mitt Romney in the 2008 campaign cycle.
