My premise is when looked at holistically you can figure out who was legitimately working to combat corruption and who wasn't.
Well Honor, apparently you have not opened too many of my links...
Shokin was in office for about a year, Feb 10th 2015 to March 29, 2016. . In part these are cases against Burisma and Zlochevsky, that were opened under him during his short tenure...
June 15th, 2015....Shokin opened up a case against Zlochevsky/Burisma for his issuing special permits, as the Minister of Ecology...to Burisma
June 25th, 2015...Shokin instituted an investigation to root out Zlochevsky's confederates that were in the GP office who helped in him getting the 23 million un-froze (with help with Blue star and John Buretta, whom Hunter recruited)
July 10th, 2015...In a press statement released by the GP office after a meeting with Pyatt, informed him the progress of the investigation against Zlochevsky/Burisma. And the GP's cooperation and intensification with the UK on this.
July 31st, 2015...Shokin office seized one of Zlochevsky's estates
October 19th, 2015...Shokin released a press release complining about the UK judge releasing the freeze of th e23 million dollars of Zlochevsky. He also announced a joint investigation with the UK to look into the judges decision. The
EUROJUST (European Union Cooperation Unit) would be part of a meeting to discuss this, including Cypress, which is where Burisma is registered.
Dec 1st, 2015...After an internal investigation,te GP office filed a law suit against Andrei Kravets, the GP employee's that signed a letter that allowed the UK to release the 23 million. (Note; at this time Zlochevsky was a fugitive running from Shokin's department)
Dec 15th, 2015...a special anti corruption prosecutor was tasked with taking the lead of Gas Licensing case by Zlochevsky, among them, to his own company Burisma.
Dec 21st, 2015...attempts by the anti corruption unit were started to un-block Zlochevsky's accounts for investigation
Feb 4th, 2016... Less that two months before he was fired becasue of Biden...Under a Shokin's (GP office) petition, a Justice ordered All of Zlochevsky's property seized. A press release was given for this milestone the same day.
At this time Hunter had helped Burisma secure ex-Obama DoJ lawyer Buretta, and Blue Star...find Zlochevsky innocent, and he was allowed back into the country. (note, he has since left again under threat of prosecution)
A team from Blue Star, and an American lawyer Blue Star hired, John D. Buretta, who had served as a senior official in the Obama Justice Department, held two previously unreported meetings in Kiev, Ukraine’s capital, with Mr. Lutsenko, who took office in May 2016 after Mr. Shokin’s dismissal, according to people with direct knowledge of the meetings. Mr. Lutsenko denied attending the meeting.
Mr. Lutsenko initially took a hard line against Burisma. But within 10 months after he took office, Burisma announced that Mr. Lutsenko and the courts had “fully closed” all “legal proceedings and pending criminal allegations” against Mr. Zlochevsky and his companies, and that the oligarch had been removed by a Ukrainian court from “the wanted list.” Mr. Zlochevsky returned to the country.
