He's taking his information from The Daily Caller. They have the story.
In regards to Shokin, recently revealed communications, after he was vilified, state he was doing a great job. Who knows, but when Joe gets $5 million to make him go away and then brags about withholding 1billion for Ukraine as the leverage, it sure looks sketchy.
Recently revealed communications? No link, no believe. Link to some rightwing echo chamber without corroborating evidence from a credible site, then it's an entertainment/opinion piece.
Withholding $214 million appropriated by Congress to the DOD for security assistance to Ukraine sketchy?
Has Biden done anything nefarious that trump didn't do first? And $214 million to $1 billion? I thought everything trump did was YUGE! How does Biden keeping doing it YUGER? Whoever voted for that slacker trump should punch themselves in the head right now.
The article was a long time ago. Believe I posted it in this thread because I remember Jelly saying he was corrupt.
Trump withheld 1billion dollars from Ukraine to get an inspector fired, who was investigating Burisma, who also happened to be giving Hunter $85k a month? Didn't know that.
Hmm, wonder what Ukraine impeachment was about when Trump inquired about the Biden's in Ukraine?
Edit: Was in the Ukraine thread.

But the memos obtained by Just the News and the Southeastern Legal Foundation under a Freedom of Information Act request show senior State Department officials — including then-Secretary of State John Kerry — were sending the opposite message to Shokin the summer before his firing.
"We have been impressed with the ambitious reform and anti-corruption agenda of your government," then-Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland personally wrote Shokin in an official letter dated June 9, 2015 that was delivered to the prosecutor two days later by then-U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt.
Nuland, now President Biden's undersecretary of state, wrote that "Secretary Kerry asked me to reply on his behalf" to let Shokin know he enjoyed the full support of the United States as he set out to fight endemic corruption in the former Soviet republic
