Wait... you don't know about the diamond prosecutor scandal?
Look it up.. it is fascinating.
I am aware of the names of dozens of Ukrainians now or formerly in politics and in their justice system who witnesses on every hand say are corrupt. Apparently there is not a prosperous justice official, businessman, or politician in Ukraine who does not have lots of people accusing him or her of corruption. Sure, there were those who accused Shokin of being involved with the mysterious cache of diamonds, but apparently Shokin was never charged in any of that even after he was replaced by a supposedly honest prosecutor. How do you explain that? Is Shokin innocent? Is that why he was never charged? Or must we assume his guilt because he has been accused of the crime by democrats who have proven they don't give a damn about the rule of law and presumptions of innocence in the absence of convictions?
