Example From Solomon "Aug. 20, 2014 Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin’s office opens criminal investigation of Burisma Holdings and Mykola Zlochevsky for alleged corrupt award of gas exploration permits and eventual looting of company, according to Ukrainian prosecutor general’s case file." Schokin was named general prosecutor in 2015, lol. Quote from the unbiased timeline linked below: Early February 2015 — U.S. administration conveys harsh criticism of prosecutor general office for its coverup of Zlochevsky/Burisma. ....Kent, who had long pushed Ukrainian prosecutors for investigations into Zlochevsky, “scolded” the deputy prosecutor for having “shut the criminal case” that had been the basis for a U.K. court freezing Zlochevsky’s assets, demanding, “Who took the bribe and how much was it?,” Kent asked....... Feb. 10, 2015 – Viktor Shokin takes office as Ukraine’s prosecutor general, replacing Yarema. Sept. 24, 2015 – U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt excoriates officials in the Prosecutor General’s Office for stymying anti-corruption investigations, including those involving Burisma.....Pyatt specifically called for the investigation and removal of officials who were involved in the failure to help the British authorities investigate Zlochevskiy.....

Lots of incidents listed but no actual connections drawn. You wouldn't know from this that Victor Shokin, the fired prosecutor, actually went after other prosecutors who were investigation other prosecutors in his department after it was discovered that they had mysteriously acquired large quantities of jewels and gold. Or that he failed to prosecute any corrupt oligarchs during his tenure. Or that it was confirmed from multiple sources that he had stopped looking into Burisma over a year before he was fired. And as for Solomon himself. He confirmed Lev Parnas' statements that he met regularly with a group consisting of Giuliani, Parnas, Toensing and Digenova at the BLT restaurant in Trump's Washington hotel. He claimed he was there only as a reporter. That sounds believable. We have yet to see any reports on those meetings. Oddly reticent for a reporter. Or that he even identified these partisans as the ultimate sources or instigators of most of his stories on the Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you also agree that Social Security, Medicare, public schools etc. are also socialist. Clearly the discussion is not about all-or-nothing discussion, but the correct degree of socialism. So let's limit the socialism discussion to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
