The prosecutor was fired because
We do not know why. We do know, Biden insisted on his being fired as a condition for Ukraine getting American aid.
because he wasn't prosecuting
Ah, but he was! He was prosecuting the natural gas company, which was paying Hunter tens of thousands of dollars per month — despite the guy having no knowledge of Ukrainian (nor Russian) language, and neither legal nor gas-extraction background.
They also laid him off as soon as his daddy lost his position of influence.
Now, maybe the fired Shokin's pursuit of Burisma was in itself corruption-motivated, but there is a very profound appearance, Hunter was used as a conduit for funneling bribes to Joe Biden.
So profound, an investigation into the likely bribery was perfectly warranted...
