WAPO FACT CHECKER COVERS FOR JOE BIDEN’S BURISMA CRIME
MY EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT CORRECTS PINOCCHIO GLENN KESSLER
Glenn Kessler, I’ll see your insider “exclusive” and raise you an honest eyewitness account.
Given the facts that I’ve unearthed and the Joe Biden crimes I’ve witnessed, Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler needs to either correct his story dated September 15th, 2023, or he should simply admit that he’s a sellout journo covering for ObamaBiden corruption.
Kessler’s article titled “Inside VP Biden’s linking of a loan to a Ukraine prosecutor’s ouster” is a clumsy rewrite of the narrative around Joe Biden’s infamous “son of a bitch he got fired” boast about ridding Ukraine of its then-Prosecutor General, Viktor Shokin. Fortunately for truth seekers, and unfortunately for Kessler, Joe’s boast was captured on video in January 2018, meaning we have Joe’s own words to weigh against Kessler’s version.
Here’s the one-minute clip of the C-SPAN video of Joe’s appearance before the Council on Foreign Relations.
Typical of a Washington Post story, the headline boasts of Glenn Kessler’s “inside” access. Kessler is the Washington Post fact checker who doles out anti-MAGA Pinocchios, so, of course, both the Deep State and Biden White House have a vested interest in rewarding his sellout reporting. In this article, the critical detail that Kessler provided his readers was:
“On the plane, according to a person who participated in the conversation, Biden ‘called an audible’ — he changed the plan…The loan guarantee was the main point of leverage with Ukraine, the vice president declared, so he instead should tell Poroshenko the loan would not be forthcoming until Shokin was gone...”
Good for you, WaPo Glenn. You had a conversation with someone who was “on the plane.” Whoa, that’s huge. By the way, I was on that plane too. And based on what I know of what occurred on that trip and what I’ve seen in the Hunter Biden Laptop, and what I’ve written in my book The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden, Joe’s decision to link Shokin’s dismissal to a long-promised, billion dollar loan guarantee was not made on the Air Force Two flight into Kyiv.

No, Joe made that decision weeks before that. In fact, he began rolling it out only two days AFTER Hunter Biden received a high priority email from Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi. “Deliverables” were what Pozharskyi demanded, including that a “high-ranking” U.S. official travel to Ukraine and end Shokin’s investigation into Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky. And that’s exactly what Joe Biden did.
In other words, then-Vice President Joe Biden changed U.S. foreign policy to benefit the Ukrainian natural gas company that paid his son millions of dollars to sit on their board. That’s an offense serious enough to impeach him out of his presidency.
And here’s Glenn Kessler and some unnamed “sources” trying to pass it off as an “audible.” That story is a stark example of the Military Industrial Complex’s media manipulation to keep their Ukrainian payday going.
If you read Kessler’s “analysis,” note that the Washington Post published it as a rebuttal to then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s request that House committees begin an impeachment inquiry into Biden, with one area of focus being whether Biden pushed to fire Shokin to benefit his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
Oh, and, Glenn, long before the Republicans began their impeachment inquiry, I had a very detailed conversation about that trip with the investigators from the House Oversight Committee and the Senate Homeland Security Governmental Affairs Committee. That led me to do some digging in Hunter’s Laptop. And, man, did I hit pay dirt.
Here’s the Burisma Bros high priority email to Hunter, with Devon Archer and Eric Schwerin CCed. I’ve highlighted the juicy bits.
Hunter and Eric Schwerin were asked about this email in their transcribed interviews with the Oversight Committee as part of that impeachment inquiry, and both men, of course, sidestepped their direct involvement in it. But facts are stubborn things. And the fact is, not only is Hunter’s name on it, but his reply to Vadym Pozharskyi was, “We’ll get back to you ASAP.”
Who is the “we,” Hunter? You and Joe? Because what Joe did over the next five weeks was fulfill every “deliverable” Pozharskyi requested, especially the “organization of a visit of a number of widely recognized and influential current and/or former US policy-makers to Ukraine in November aiming to conduct meetings with and bring positive signal/message and support on Nikolay's issue to the Ukrainian top officials above with the ultimate purpose to close down for any cases/pursuits against Nikolay in Ukraine.”
Nikolay/Mykola Zlochevsky was the corrupt oligarch heading Burisma Holdings. He’s alleged in a disputed FBI FD-1023 to have told a confidential informant that he paid Joe and Hunter Biden $5 million each in bribes. That informant, Alexander Smirnov, has since been been indicted and arrested — by Joe Biden’s DOJ — for providing false information to the FBI. According to House Democrats, that arrest has supposedly torpedoed the Oversight Committee’s investigation. But not so fast because Hunter definitely got paid by Burisma.
And Joe helped.
And Smirnov isn’t the only witness. Like I said, I was there. And since I’ve sent a copy of my book to the special counsel investigators working for Joe Biden, and the FBI hasn’t arrested me, my freedom is verification that everything I have in my book about Joe’s Burisma crimes is accurate.
Back to Kessler’s cruddy story. What the Burisma Bros requested in the email — which Kessler missed or avoided — is exactly what Joe Biden did: He set up a visit to Ukraine to talk to Poroshenko about Shokin.
Kessler includes the first to-do item in his story, but he couches it as Joe taking a policy initiative. But again, note that only two days elapse between the Burisma email and Joe’s phone call. As I often say, timelines catch criminals. Here’s a quote of Kessler’s analysis:
“In a phone call with Poroshenko on Nov. 5 that year, both hugs and punches were apparent, with Biden suggesting that the loan guarantee was linked to progress on corruption: “Regarding economic reforms, the Vice President reiterated the U.S. willingness to provide a third $1 billion loan guarantee to Ukraine contingent on continued Ukrainian progress to investigate and prosecute corruption,” a White House statement said.”
In my book, I quote the same readout as Kessler does, but unlike his cover story, I attribute the timing of Joe’s call and him linking the loan guarantee to progress on corruption as simply Joe doing Zlochevsky’s bidding. And I point out that this was the first time over the course of several months of meetings and phone calls with Poroshenko that Joe had linked the all-important loan guarantee to Poroshenko’s anti-corruption efforts.
I think Kessler should read my book. But I guarantee he won’t. Sell-out journos like him run from the real stories that reveal the Deep State’s ugly business.
About a week after that phone call, the White House announced Joe would be traveling to Kyiv. That fulfilled the second to-do item.
If you take the time to read the Kessler’s piece, you’ll see he deploys Biden White House/Deep State anonymous sources to restate the chain of events — all to steer attention away from Joe’s crimes.
But Kessler has a problem. He’s trying to disinfo facts that are already in evidence — very visibly in evidence. And he’s clumsy about it. Here’s the first clue:
“Other officials involved in the policy process, including two who were also on Biden’s plane, don’t quite remember Biden’s making such a forceful intervention. They recall a more disciplined policy process preceding the trip that led to consensus on linking the firing to the loan — though memories have blurred over eight years, they admitted. The White House records remain classified. In any case, by the time Biden landed in Kyiv, four people with direct knowledge told The Fact Checker, the Obama White House was firmly on board with the plan.”
I love how he calls himself “The Fact Checker” and then undermines his own story. I read this as Kessler’s sources fudging his point that Joe called the audible on the plane. Oh, and the records are classified, so we have only Kessler’s version, as told to him by unnamed “officials.”
Kessler’s next sentence is further proof his analysis is just BS:
“The moment when the Obama administration decided to link Shokin’s firing to the loan guarantee has never been firmly established.”
That’s a weird sentence from The Fact Checker. I read that as a sell-out journo covering his rear while publishing a story that he knows is fake news.
But to me, the biggest clue that Kessler’s sources are lying, and he’s dutifully repeating their lies, is in this paragraph:
“Shokin was a key political ally of Poroshenko’s, and his job — a kind of combination attorney general and judge — made him an important power broker in Ukraine. Biden’s demand for his ouster, made in a one-on-one meeting, was therefore a big ask. ‘Biden was right’ to link the loan to Shokin’s removal, the official said. ‘Had we given Poroshenko the thing he was desperate for, he never would have removed Shokin.’”
Why do I say that’s a lie? Because Biden didn’t make the “ask” in a one-on-one with Poroshenko. And no matter what Biden-Poroshenko photo WaPo uses to manipulate their readers toward that conclusion, that’s not how the “ask” went. And I say that as someone who was there.
Backing me up are Joe Biden’s own words. Going back to the video clip of his description of events, he clearly includes former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk as being part of the negotiations when he says, “And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor, and they didn’t.”
So, Glenn, it wasn’t just Poroshenko Joe had to deal with. Not once in your article do you reference former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk as being an integral part of the “audible.” Why is that? More truth than your Deep State handlers could handle?
As someone who was there I know Joe had sit-downs with Poroshenko AND Yatsenyuk, though he met with each separately a day apart. Both meetings occurred before Joe gave his big speech to the Ukrainian parliament, the Rada — which was the penultimate event of the trip.
Lots in my book about how the other sellout journos who were on the trip did their fake news “reporting.” That this trip of Joe’s had become such a multi-layered fake news event for over eight years just shows how revealing it is about Joe and the Deep State’s actions in Ukraine.
The only time Biden, Poroshenko, and Yatsenyuk were together was right after his speech to the Rada, and that was for joint statements to the press. Additionally, that was scheduled as the final event of the trip, with departure following soon afterwards. That fits exactly with what Joe so proudly declared to the Council on Foreign Relations. Here’s Joe’s words, out his mouth:
“So they were walking out to the press conference. And I said, ‘Nah, I’m not going to — we’re not going to give you the billion dollars.’ And they said, you have no authority. You’re not the president. The president said’ — and I said, ‘Call him.’ (Laughter.) I said, ‘I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion. You’re not getting the billion, and I’m going to be leaving here in’ — I think it was, what, six hours — I looked at it, and I said, ‘We’re leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.)”
That conversation between the three men never arises in Kessler’s analysis. Nor does he mention the press conference that Joe referenced. But I know it happened because I was there, recording it for an official White House transcript of what Joe and Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk said. That was my job, and I did it. And I guarantee that transcript exists, though to this day it does not appear on the archived Obama White House website. Why not? It should be there. It was a public event on Joe’s schedule. American taxpayers footed the bill for everything to do with trip, including the transcript of what Joe said in that press availability. Why can’t the American public see the transcript?
I don’t know for certain, but it’s a red flag to me. My guess is there’s something damning in what Joe said, which to this day can’t be revealed to the public.
Now you know why Kessler had to write that fake “analysis” about an “audible.” Because the truth about Joe Biden crimes in Ukraine is out there. Waiting. And it’s more explosive to the Deep State D.C. than anything Guy Fawkes could dream up.
Stay tuned. More to come.

It’s been over a month since I mailed U.S. Attorney Leo Wise my book The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden. My goal is for him to interview me to be a witness in Special Counsel David Weiss’s investigation of Hunter Biden. As I wrote in my letter to him, he’s sworn an oath to uphold the law. Ignoring my evidence violates that oath.
Here’s a link to order my book from the Amazon website and here’s the Barnes&Noble website.
I’ll be on with my friends at American Patriot News next Monday, April 8th. And I’ll on Todd Starnes’ radio show, talking with Mary Walter, on Tuesday, April 9th, around 2:00 p.m. — should be interesting.

Thanks to my association with MarcoPolo501c3.Substack.com I’ll be writing about information gleaned from the verified Biden laptop and other sources. As you see from my screenshots, I use the BidenLaptopEmails.com website which Marco Polo has made available for public use for free. Garrett Ziegler and his associates are forcing a reckoning with those who cover for ObamaBiden corruption and paying a price for their work. Funds for their defense of frivolous lawsuits are badly needed. Please support them if you can.
Kind of a side note, but I recently went back and looked at media coverage of Joe Biden’s 1988 campaign. To get there you have to dig through years of fawning coverage (to say the least), but once you find it you realize how much the media and the Democratic Party have changed.
The newspaper/magazine reporting and the Democratic Party were left leaning, but they still had some standards. After initial enthusiasm, Biden’s lies and plagiarism were too much to ignore or tolerate, and there was a sense that he just wasn’t (and could never be) presidential material.
Johnny Carson even lampooned him on national television, something unheard of today (with the notable exception of Greg Gutfeld).
How things have changed….. and not for the better.
Mr McCormick, I like what you have done to expose this corruption and treason of Joe Biden. Would you be, say, giving a testimony at the Oversight Committee? Guess they would welcome this, a great help.
