Trump Leveraging Ukraine Military Aid For Dirt On Joe Biden

[Zorro!]

Biden openly admits that he forced the firing of the prosecutor that was investigating his son and leveraged $1B in US aid to get him fired.
Biden claims that he and Obama acted in concert.

...Biden, to use a billion dollars of loan guarantees as leverage to get Ukraine to replace Shokin...

Yup!

LOL

Great... now prove he did so to halt the investigation into Burisma Holdings, which news is reporting was a dormant investigation.

He bragged about leveraging Ukraine with a $B taxpayer money to fire the prosecutor. If Ukraine wants to look into it, they will. If a US attorney wants to look into it, they will.

Running for President doesn't give him immunity from prosecution, you know.

To fire a prosecutor who was corrupt and not allowing the investigation to go anywhere.

Except for the fact that he was investigating Biden's son for corruption, why was that a matter for us to compel Ukraine through blackmail, rather than Ukraine to work out on their own as they saw fit?

 

[Crepitus]

Please God, let it be true so this imbecile will shut up!

Which one, the OP or madcow?

Of course the OP is ignoring that Biden withheld US funds from Ukraine until they fired a prosecutor that was investigating an oil company his son was associated with.

.

If it's illegal for Biden to do it's illegal for tRump to do as well, right?

No! What Trump did was perfectly LEGAL - unless you want the Ukrainians hacking our democracy

They never hacked our democracy, that was Russia and the Tramp admin, working together.

They did not work together. This was investigated. Deal with the results.

Actually they did, but the republican special council decided it "didn't rise to the level of criminal conspiracy".

Trump Says ‘Everybody’ (Except Him) Has Read Whistleblower’s Report, And ‘They Laugh At It’

Does any sane person really believe that?

Sorry, but I personally don't accept anything that comes from HuffingtonPost.

I think that probably says more about you than Huffington Post. I find HuffPo generally credible.

Of course that says more about me. That's why I said I personally don't accept.... I try to avoid biased sites.

Well, Huffington Post was dead on - as usual.

You mean except he wasn't investigating Biden's son. Not only was Hunter Biden not under investigation, Zlochevskyi and Burisma Holdings were, Biden was but one member on their board of directors; but even they weren't being investigated because the corrupt prosecutor general wasn't letting the investigation proceed....

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

But what has received less attention is that at the time Biden made his ultimatum, the probe into the company -- Burisma Holdings, owned by Mykola Zlochevsky -- had been long dormant, according to the former official, Vitaliy Kasko.

“There was no pressure from anyone from the U.S. to close cases against Zlochevsky,” Kasko said in an interview last week. “It was shelved by Ukrainian prosecutors in 2014 and through 2015.”​

It seems he did. It's just the tip of the iceberg though. By the time the election is through Trump will pull every dirty trick he can come up with.

And you are free to guess who he learned them from. Remember, Trump is a renouned counterpuncher...

Inside the shady private equity firm run by Kerry and Biden’s kids

“My frustration,” writes Peter Schweizer in his new book, “Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends,” “is that the reporting on the Obama administration has been way too soft or in some cases nonexistent.” The author of the 2016 sensation “Clinton Cash” details a number of ethical violations. One example: the little-noticed private equity firm run by the sons of Democrats Joe Biden and John Kerry.

Kerry and Biden worked together in the Senate for years before landing the plumb positions in the Obama Administration. Their sons going into business together in June 2009 was not exactly a bolt out of the blue.

But with whom their sons cut lucrative deals while the elder two were steering the ship of state is more of a surprise.

Hunter Biden, the son of America’s vice president, and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (later to be secretary of state), formed an international private equity firm. It was anchored by the Heinz family alternative investment fund, Rosemont Capital. The new firm was populated by political loyalists and positioned to strike profitable deals overseas with foreign governments and officials with whom the US government was negotiating.

Rosemont Capital is the alternative investment fund of the Heinz Family Office.

Joe Biden and John Kerry negotiated sensitive and high-stakes deals with foreign governments, Rosemont entities secured a series of exclusive deals often with those same foreign governments.

Some of their transactions are nevertheless traceable by investigating world capital markets. A troubling pattern emerges from this research, showing how profitable deals were struck with foreign governments on the heels of crucial diplomatic missions carried out by their powerful fathers. Often those foreign entities gained favorable policy actions from the United States government just as the sons were securing favorable financial deals from those same entities.

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

Joe Biden recently admitted he used his position as vice president to get a prosecutor fired that was looking into his son’s crooked 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.

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.

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.

Ukraine cleared Hunter and Joe Biden of any wrongdoing. There ain't no there there.

That tweet is a lie. No media is purporting Trump told a foreign leader to rein in corruption. There was no corruption found to rein in and the case was closed years ago and no one was found to commit a crime. What Trump is accused of doing is pressuring a world leader to open up a new investigation into the Biden's despite no wrong-doing found.

Sounds like this could amount to abuse of power on trump's part.

Why is that surprising? Biden blackmailed the government of the Ukraine with a Billion dollars in US taxpayer money to fire his predecessor. If you watched that happen and you wanted to stay employed, you would sign a song of the singular righteousness of the Biden's too!

Again, it's been reported that Ukraine's prosecutor general was not looking into the matter as you claim....

Nice try but that was a previous government, a previous president and a previous prosecutor general. The current government gained nothing by pointing out there was never any wrong-doing found on the part of the Bidens.

Trump Pounces On Biden-Ukraine Scandal As Whistleblower Story Flips On Dems

"A complete and total disaster..."

Joe Biden abused his position as Vice President to strongarm Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor - who was leading a wide-ranging investigation into Biden's son Hunter and the natural gas firm that paid him $50,000 per month despite his total lack of experience.

Trump's conversation was with Ukraine's new president, Volodymyr Zelensky, about reopening the Biden investigation - did not contain a quid pro quo.

Democrats' hopes of finally nailing Trump appear to be melting into their sea of Russiagate tears.

"The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, want to stay as far away as possible from the Joe Biden demand that the Ukrainian Government fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son, or they won’t get a very large amount of U.S. money, so they fabricate a story about me and a perfectly fine and routine conversation I had with the new President of the Ukraine."
​

Trump said this in his opening salvo over Twitter Saturday morning.

"Nothing was said that was in any way wrong, but Biden’s demand, on the other hand, was a complete and total disaster. The Fake News knows this but doesn’t want to report!"​

Trump then posted a montage beginning with Biden claiming "Not one single credible outlet has given any credibility to his [Trump's] assertion."

Au contraire Biden:

755 people are talking about this

Trump told reporters at the White House: "I'll tell you this, somebody ought to look into Joe Biden's statement where He talked about billions of dollars that he's not giving to a certain country unless a certain prosecutor is taken off the case. So, somebody ought to look into that and you wouldn't because he's a Democrat. And the fake news doesn't look into things like that, it's a disgrace," warning the press "You've had a very bad week, and this will be better than all of 'em, this is another one. So keep playing it out because you're gonna look really bad when it falls, and I guess I'm about 22 and 0 and I'll keep it that way."

Biden lashes out

On Friday, Biden issued a statement calling on Trump to release a transcript of his July phone call with Zelensky.

"If these reports are true, then ... It means that he [Trump] used the power and resources of the United States to pressure a sovereign nation—a partner that is still under direct assault from Russia—pushing Ukraine to subvert the rule of law in the express hope of extracting a political favor," he said - apparently unaware of the irony that he openly bragged about doing the exact same thing years earlier.



Amazing how Trump kicks your asses over and over again.

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.

No crime was committed by Biden.
