The “massive bribery scheme” Giuliani is referring to has to do with Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, who held a directorship with a Ukrainian natural gas company called Burisma Holdings in 2014. At one point, Hunter was making $50,000 a month from Burisma. ...

Yoshiko M. Herrera, an expert on Russia and Eurasian policy at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, told the Washington Post that Hunter Biden’s position was “a conflict of interest even if it doesn’t break any laws.”

“Calling Hunter Biden a private citizen ignores the obvious links to the vice president,” Herrera said. “Conflict-of-interest rules should have applied. If Biden is working for the Obama administration on Ukraine, his son should not have been on the board of a company there that could be affected by U.S. policy spearheaded by his father.”


Even the extremely biased NY Times has to admit that Hunter Biden was unethical:

When he was vice president, Mr. Biden cast himself as both the Obama administration’s advocate of military assistance to Kiev as well as the chief antagonist of the notorious corruption in Ukraine’s government. In early 2016, he threatened to withhold $1 billion in American loan guarantees if Ukraine’s top prosecutor was not dismissed after accusations that he had ignored rampant corruption.

Mr. Biden succeeded; the prosecutor general was voted out office. And Hunter Biden had an interest in the outcome: He sat on the board of an energy company that had been in the sights of the ousted prosecutor general.


It was right of Trump to call for investigation of Hunter Biden. He should also figure out who in his administration is spying on him for the benefit of corrupt Democrats.

With all that credibility that the democrats have built over the last three years, trump is in real trouble this time.

As YOUR president, Trump is in fact the head of our investigative agencies. He can launch investigations as he wishes. Thus, your logic falls apart.


Not to investigate his political rivals with a foreign government. BTW, you just invoked defense #2

Running for office does not make Joe Biden and/or his son above the law. You seem to want to impeach Trump for exposing the Bidens.

Wherever Joe Biden went, son Hunter cashed in

Just a coincidence!

Former vice president Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden partnered with infamous mobster Whitey Bulger's nephew and former secretary of state John Kerry's stepson for his lucrative business deal with the Bank of China, according to reporter Peter Schweizer's latest book.

Schweizer points to the business deal with state-owned Bank of China, a $1.5 billion private equity investment, as a possible reason why the current presidential candidate has adopted a conciliatory attitude toward China. The lucrative deal between the Bank of China and Hunter Biden's company was inked in 2013 just weeks after Joe Biden brought his son along on an official trip to China.

Neither Hunter Biden nor Joe Biden were ever the subject of any Ukrainian investigation of corruption.

What do you suppose the Ukrainians paid Hunter Biden $80,000 per month for?

This is where the cognitive dissonance comes in. I don't expect a cogent answer.

Wrong. Shorkin was investigating Hunter burn and bursima.

And Biden bragged about stopping it at the CFR.

But the real show is gonna be Porky's role in 2016

did Obama give him permission to threaten Ukraine with aid cutoff

As much as I dislike all this circus of IMPARTIAL! MEDIA! blaming Trump for Biden's son's corruption, I very, very strongly doubt that Obama had anything to do with it because the whole payoff setup is so petty and stupid that only a senile imbecile would go through with it, and Obama is not THE senile imbecile.

Actually, I think Obama had asked Biden to take the initiative on Ukraine. Hunter was brought on board very shortly after Biden taking the initiative (which was well before the firing incident). The timing of Hunter's hiring is suspicious.

If you're looking for a USA crime to pin on Hunter, go with: not properly registering as a lobbyist for foreign interest. That, however, is apparently only a crime if you also happen to be a campaign manager for Trump (even if only briefly).

Obama should give his Nobel prize back.



Gulf of Tonkin, Operation MKUltra, Operation PBSucess, Operation Ajax, Operation Northwoods... Who would be stupid enough to believe a retired general or the intelligence agencies at this point? How gullible are you? Find that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq yet? All your retired generals and intelligence agencies agreed they were there. Didn't you see Colin Powell at the UN shaking around a vial with some white powder in it?

How is it even POSSIBLE that anybody still trusts the intelligence agencies and upper levels of the military at this point.

BTW how many tens of millions do you think both Jared and Ivanka have profited from Trump’s presidency?


Prove it then we can prosecute them.

Just like we're going to prosecute Biden and his cokehead son..

Most normal people are entirely fine with prosecuting corruption, but you seem to be saying "well sure, Hunter Biden engaged in blatant corruption with his father, but Trump's kids do too - so we should ignore it". No.

@jazz_music You probably mean well, but it's not about Trump himself, never was.

It's about electing somebody that the elite don't want and that's all there really is to it.

The elite hate us. They want us to DIE and be replaced by whomever they can import.

Trump is hated by the liberal elite, and therefore Trump is not one of them.

That's all any voter really wanted, and Trump definitely is that. End of story.

Hear hear!

Anybody the establishment hates, gets my vote, because I hate the establishment. They've kept us in 18 years of war, have bankrupted the nation, enforce the laws selectively, allow blatant and obvious criminality, run garbage public schools we're faced to pay for, force taxpayers to bail out banks and corporations, and are the most hypocritical bastards this world has ever seen.
