The U.S. Department of Justice hasn’t changed its name to “Biden Perception Management Partners” or “The Ministry of Truth.” Not yet, anyway.

But with the Trump indictments, it’s clearly acting as “crisis management” PR agency and Grand Inquisitor on behalf of the Biden family. What is the Justice Department so desperate to help the Bidens distract Americans from seeing?

Gateway Pundit reveals, in this video testimony by Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor who was hunting corruption in Burisma. That’s the company which Hunter and Joe Biden allegedly shook down for $10 million in payoffs. And certainly was paying Hunter $83,000 a month to help make their Shokin problem go away. When the cash came through, Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid from needy Ukrainians, unless Shokin was fired. He promptly was, and the thuggish Joe Biden boasted about in on television — not in a cameo on some episode of The Sopranos, mind you, but an actual public policy forum.

We’d link to CNN or MSNBC, but of course they aren’t reporting on petty little stories like this one — not while it can gleefully recount another Trump associate or attorney getting charged with Crimethink. As Gateway Pundit writes:

An old video of Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor who was removed from office under pressure from then-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, is making the rounds online again following the damning testimony of Devon Archer. This video was removed on Youtube.

In a detailed and extensive interview, Shokin has responded to allegations from the Biden regime, laying out his side of the story regarding the investigations into Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that once employed Hunter.

It is unclear when this video was recorded or published but includes his reaction to Biden’s accusations.
