Republican efforts to impeach President Joe Biden suffered a blow after fresh evidence emerged showing his bid to remove Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in 2015 represented U.S. government policy.

    Link to the document .

    I’m always a big fan of primary sources to avoid any political spin. Looking at this doc it’s 100% clear that the State department was calling for Shokin’s removal and was instructing Biden on how to frame the conversation. Seems pretty clear cut.

    With that being said, I am 100% confident that this will have no impact on House Republican plans to pursue impeachment.

      they’ve never been the kind of folks who let evidence and facts get in the way

      The public didn’t have the document until now, but you can bet Republican leaders & committee chairs at the very least were well aware of it, and the information that this was not only US Gov’t policy, but internationally backed by our allies has been widely reported since the beginning. I have to assume McCarthy knows and doesn’t care.
