Trump Administration Whistleblower Cover-Up

[Cow Poke]

Laughing -- Joe Biden is angrily denouncing the corruption of Trump dealing with Ukraine..... spewing forth all kinds of incredibly phony "righteous indignation".

Oh, the hypocrisy!



ETA: Biden is playing right into Trump's hands --- Biden does NOT need this leading the news, as Trump is ALREADY 'convicted' by the media of corruption, and Joe is keeping this in the news, when his own house is corrupt! Biden is an idiot for going on the attack on this.

GO JOE!!!! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!

False.

“We’ve talked before about the deals he procured with the government for China,” remembered Schweizer. “The other place [Joe Biden’s] son, Hunter Biden, procured a big deal was in Ukraine. In Ukraine, it involved an energy company called Burisma, which is a very corrupt organization headed by an oligarch named Mykola Zlochevsky who is very close to Viktor Yanukovich, the pro-Russian leader.”

Schweizer then asked: “There’s all kinds of questions and implications. Is there a Russian component to this, because Burisma is such a corrupt company?”

“The bottom line is Joe Biden was the Obama administration’s point-person on policy towards Ukraine,” noted Schweizer. “He steered $1.8 billion in aid to that government and while he was doing so, his son got a sweetheart deal with this energy company – that we’ve been able to trace over just a 14-month period – paid $3.1 million into an account where Hunter Biden was getting paid.”

Who the heck is Schweizer, thats not in your link. It also doesn't claim any wrong doing on the part of Hunter Biden, just makes the suggestion. Are you prone to suggestion? And whether Hunter Biden did anything wrong or not, that doesn't implicate his father.

As to your ignorant ramblings about "this is Ukraine, not Russia"....

The editor-at-large also pushed back against any allegations that POTUS Donald Trump ‘colluded’ with Russia. If anything, he says, it was the Bidens and the Clintons conspiring with foreign governments, Russia included.

Sheesh, for someone who claims to be always waiting for all the evidence to come in, you seem awfully susceptible to simple unevidenced allegations made by unnamed sources all of a sudden, CP.

And this....



Again I ask, Jimmy, what was Hunter Biden's qualification for he and his buddy to be getting boatloads of money for.... what? You can't produce a SINGLE REASON showing they were qualified, which is why you play this ignorant game....

Doesn't matter if they were qualified or not. It's irrelevant as to whether Rosemont Seneca or the founders thereof did anything crimnal or not and its even less relevant concerning whether the VP did anything wrong. When are you going to come up with some actual evidence of criminality on Hunter's part, or extortion on the VP's part? Exactly, you can not!

Two words... Core Ruption.

Which of course is not a rellevant answer to the question, as usual.

Don't worry, it's Elizabeth Warren you and the bad guys need to worry about.

I have two concerns here.

First, it's Slate, something I'll read occasionally, but won't cite, on the basic principle that I prefer to stick with outlets that do actual investigative reporting. And second, because the name of the podcast essentially announces a menu of red meat for anti-Trump hyperpartisans. I wouldn't have paid this any attention at all were it not for the description in the Google podcasts link, (which is missing from the Slate link I looked up to provide here.)

Urgent Concern: This Unambiguously Constitutes an Impeachable Offense

Yes, if, if, if ... this is as serious as it gets for the president, but those who are willing to wait should note we're certain to see a transcript of this call soon enough, and quite possibly even an audio recording.

That must be the first time I've ever seen Lawfare as being described as "Republican-lite" or conservative in any way. The fact that they are affiliated with the Brookings Institute which has an undeniable liberal slant ought to be a clue about where they stand politically. They are definitely center-left.

Why do the Clintons, Obamas, Pelosi and Schumer and the four horsemen of the squad have to worry about Warren?

It's AMAZING what you can observe just by looking!

Aren't you the guy who's always accusing others of being blind?

IIRC the New York Times reported that Biden's son was being paid $50K/month or $600K/yr. and few people seem to know exactly what his "job" entailed.

[rogue06]

So, the question remains -- would Bursima have even accepted a resume from Hunter Biden if his dad wasn't VPOTUS? Not a snowball's chance in the hot place.

But this is the kind of filthy corruption the liberals can excuse, or, like in Jimmy's case, even defend!

Having just been booted out of the military for testing positive for cocaine is not exactly the sort of thing that normally leads to a $600,000 a year job.

And FWIU he didn't ever actually apply for the job but rather they came to him.

[Mountain Man]

And pray tell, what does what Hunter Biden was paid have to do with anything?

I appreciate the studious disinterest. I wonder, would you be so dismissive if this was a story about Trump and Trump, Jr.?

Oh the ultra conservative head of a conservative think tank conspiracy theorist who offers not a shred of evidence, but merely accussations. Still waiting for that evidence of wrong doing that you're always claiming to be waiting for, CP. Instead of looking for mere accussations to support your beliefs, you should try to be a bit more objective and look at both sides of the story and you might not end up being wrong all the time.

Knowing Trumps history in business and seeing how he has conducted himself in office I would at first glance assume him to be guilty, but I would check out the evidence in either case before making an ultimate determination.

Maybe not, but a bachelors degree from Georgetown and a Juris Doctor from Yale law school would probably do the trick.
