Trump Leveraging Ukraine Military Aid For Dirt On Joe Biden

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Really, they had international business experience and after all, Trump has a State Dept.

They have no experience in any relevant field, and they are doing things that should be reserved for the Sate Dept.

Look at what Trump is doing to your brain...

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Prove your lie

Why would anyone bother? You cultists will abandon all fact and reason, when it comes to dear leader.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

What kind of company puts a person on their board who doesn't know the business, well, unless there's a different kind of benefit.

I imagine,the same kind of guy that puts his own, vapid family members,with no experience, into adviser positions in the white house.

well he had to.

they had pics of him with the stolen pancakes he didn't want the dems to get.

Amd would be willing to commit crimes and facilitate back door diplomacy (read: bribery) for him.

Look, the left doesn't give a shit when their guys commit crimes, don't get all bent when the right doesn't give a shit when you blame the right for your own crimes.

I didn't. I made fun of your idiotic behavior.

"I am an idiot , because i am forced to be an idiot, because that one guy was an idiot that one time."

How embarrassing for you.

The Republicans did and investigation on the allegations regarding the Biden's back when this happened & found the allegations were false.
what changed? could it be that Biden is doing too well in the poles.
I could give you actual non fake or over blown negatives about him, do a little work, don't just stick with the propaganda that rolls out from either party.

Trump wants an investigation as to whether JOE BIDEN intervened with the government of the Ukraine to end the investigation of Hunter Biden.

Trump cancelled the defence aid to the Ukraine after the President refused to investigate Joe Biden, and then re-instated the aid when Congress got wind of his requests to the Ukraine, but the whistle blower has direct knowledge of the phone call, and Congress should be told too.

If Biden wants to be President, he needs to get used to investigations of both he and his family members, and anyone he has associated with over the years.

Personally, I think Ukraine should investigate the whole family. And if they ask President Trump to extradite them, I think he should. Biden deserves a chance to face justice on these charges, no?

You realize of course that the Ukrainian President is coming to Washington next week, and that the Congress Leaders can meet with him directly and get his version of events. That's precisely WHY Trump reinstated the aid. Failure to give the promised aid to the Ukrainians would have exposed his extortion...

Say who? WaPo is reporting that the secret source says there was no quid pro quo. Except for Biden of course, Biden bragged that he, with Obama's baclking threatened to withhold a Billion US taxpayer olloars unless they fired the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter Biden, and they fired him. Are you claiming that Biden and Obama committed a crime? Impeachable offenses?

... the Russia investigation...

That was a sham cooked up by Hillary and Obama partisans in the DOJ and IC.

... The American people do NOT want foreign leaders investigating American political rivals of the sitting American President...

What Biden brags about sounds to me like it's worth an investigation, why wouldn't we cooperate?

From April 2019:

Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn't resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.

In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.​

“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.​

“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,” Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.​

Interviews with a half-dozen senior Ukrainian officials confirm Biden’s account, though they claim the pressure was applied over several months in late 2015 and early 2016, not just six hours of one dramatic day. Whatever the case, Poroshenko and Ukraine’s parliament obliged by ending Shokin’s tenure as prosecutor. Shokin was facing steep criticism in Ukraine, and among some U.S. officials, for not bringing enough corruption prosecutions when he was fired.​

The prosecutor he got fired was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings that employed Biden’s younger son, Hunter, as a board member.​

Ukranian officials began looking into why this investigation was shut down, and offered information to US Attorney General Bill Barr.

[A]s Biden's 2020 campaign ramped up over the past year, Lutsenko — the Ukrainian prosecutor that Biden once hailed as a "solid" replacement for Shokin -- began looking into what happened with the Burisma case that had been shut down...

Lutsenko said some of the evidence he knows about in the Burisma case may interest U.S. authorities and he'd like to present that information to new U.S. Attorney General William Barr, particularly the vice president’s intervention.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Biden had correlated and connected this aid with some of the HR (personnel) issues and changes in the prosecutor's office," Lutsenko said.​

Ukraine did in fact re-open the case -- without any bidding by Trump.

... here are good and valid reasons why Trump attempting to extort the Ukrainian government for his own political gain, is an impeachable offence....

It's an impeachable offense against... Trump?!?!!

Trump urged the Ukranians to look into a case of official corruption and unethical exertion of political pressure openly boasted of by Joe Biden himself and the guy who needs investigating is... Trump?!!?

By the way: the Deep State source who illegally leaked this to the media (of course) doesn't even allege there was any quid pro quo -- just what xhe claims was an improper "urging" of action.

It's now illegal and impeachable for a president to urge a foreign leader to open a corruption probe?

The things one learns from our very educated and very rational NeverTrump Genius Brigade.

Wrong.

NO Quid Pro Quo....

No Crime for Trump...

Now Biden on the other hand is in deep shit because his Quid Pro Quo has been admitted to on tape and from official transcripts from about 9 different officials. But its Trump who is wrong for investigating a DEMOCRAT LIAR....

Liberal logic is absent here... They got there wittle fewings hurt....

Biden Used U.S. Aid as Weapon to Force Ukraine to Fire Prosecutor Looking Into His Son’s Business.

MORE:

Joe Biden recently admitted he used his position as vice president to get an investigation squashed that had been launched into his son’s crooked business.

One of the things liberals say that makes Joe Biden qualified to become president is that he has foreign policy experience, but one of Uncle Joe’s stories about that experience is getting another look because it appears that Biden admitted using U.S. foreign aid as a weapon to stop an investigation into his son’s shady business dealings.

Biden himself seemed to have confirmed that he used his position as vice president to force the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor who was looking into son Hunter Biden’s business.

Biden forced Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was going to investigate the corrupt oligarch his son Hunter worked for by threatening to withhold $1B. Biden brags about it on video

It would be wrong to let Biden slide because he is running for office again. His abuse of power previously is a matter that deserves investigation regardlesshttps://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/09/world/europe/corruption-ukraine-joe-biden-son-hunter-biden-ties.html …

Trump Whistleblower Complaint: The Obvious Problem with Rudy Giuliani's Spin on Ukraine | National Review

You don't want to be objective here, you want to hit trump.

It's bullshit. Nothing to do with trump and everything to do with bullshit tactics being used these days.

It has to stop.

You don't have a dog in this race. You are an Aussie. But if you want Rump, you can come get him. After NY gets through with him.

Imagine if Donald Trump had threatened to withhold a billion dollars in U.S. aid to Ukraine until officials there fired a prosecutor who was looking into one of his son’s businesses?

The media would be losing its tiny, left-wing, hive mind about such a story.

But because Biden did it, it is crickets from the media.

Worse, this story is right out of Biden’s own mouth and not just allegations from some fake, unidentified “whistleblower.” This story is confirmed by Biden himself, and the Fake News Media breaks out the shovels to try to bury it.

The really sad thing? While this doesn't work on Trump, because he single-handedly fights back, this crap worked just fine on Both Bush's, Dole, McCain and Romney.... which is why we gave you Trump!

 

[Faun]

What plot? Its simple "oppo research"? Like Hillary did with the "Steele Dossier". Not a problem like the dems have been saying all along...

A President asking a foreign leader to investigate his rival in exchange for something is not the same as someone doing research.

In exchange for what? You don't know, do you?

Also, Hillary violated the law by paying money to a foreign agent for the dossier.

She paid an American firm. What law says she couldn't do that?

 

[Faun]

If any of this is true........Damn, It leaves me speechless.

If so, it is clearly an impeachable offense.

Your statement makes it perfectly clear that you don't know what an impeachable offense is.

Abuse of power is an impeachable offense. We'll soon learn how involved trump was.
