> If your trying to fight corruption, and you have evidence this lead investigator is corrupt, couldn't you just present that evidence to get them fired?

Corrupt people (whether the corrupt official or the people corrupting them or both) often have political leverage to make that technique ineffective; that’s rather the point of political corruption.

Using aid as leverage to get other states to act in ways that local corruption would otherwise make politically unviable is neither novel nor evidence of corruption on the part of a US Administration.

In fact, its long been a foundational element of US policy in a number of areas where corruption is viewed as a wide danger.

It's all just a coincidence that this investigator tried to investigate Burisma for corruption, and Burisma attempted to buy access to Joe Biden through Hunter Biden, who was only selling the 'appearance' of access. Which means Burisma was obviously corrupt for attempting to buy said access even if it was in fact an illusion and they were being conned.

And it's just a coincidence that Biden claimed he didn't know his son was on the board of Burisma when it was later proved he did know that. He just, forgot, I guess.
