Trump Leveraging Ukraine Military Aid For Dirt On Joe Biden

[Zorro!]

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.

So you are good with Biden using US taxpayer money as a bounty to get a prosecutor fired who was investigating corruption by his son? And while you say Biden should be our next president, that Trump should be removed from office for saying that the new Ukrainian government should look into this corruption?

You are ok with believing some bullshit Trump tells you...

I believe Biden when he says he put a Billion Dollar Bounty on the Prosecutor and give the government six hours to fire the prosecutor who was looking into his son's corruption.

Major scandal involving Billion Dollar Bounty Biden. Biden boasted that, by threatening to cut off $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine, he caused the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor who was investigating a company that employed his son Hunter as a board member.

With no quid-pro-quo offer, Trump should be impeached for urging Ukraine’s president to investigate Biden's corruption, but Billion Dollar Bounty Biden should be our next president?

A President suggesting to the Pres-elect of a well known corrupt country he should investigate corruption that affects US is doing his job. Had Obama done that the Biden Crime Family wouldn’t have bilked millions from Ukraine and billions from China. Have you learned yet how much the Biden's made off this with a similar con with China? It makes their Ukraine corruption look like small potatoes.

Trump has no duty to conceal the Biden's corruption, and when it involves OUR MONEY, Trump is acting in the interest of the U.S. But you want to pretend that urging the exposure of the Biden's scam is an impeachable offense, but that Biden should be our next President? Did this every make any sense to you?

There was no corruption by Biden.

Well, that's what investigations are used to determine.

Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived

Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived

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." Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.

Will Trump's bashing of Biden end up making Warren our next president in 2020? According to the latest Iowa poll - that could happen.

Warren has to be looking better than Billion Dollar Bounty Biden, but, Warren stole minority set asides, so she isn't a big draw of the Black vote, which helped cost Hillary the election, and Biden is a draw of the Black vote, unfortunately, he has a corrupt history that he likes to brag about on video and he has difficulty remembering very obvious things. Even Jimmy Carter is saying that even he couldn't have handled the Presidency at Biden's age.

When did Warren steal minority set asides. Trump is 73 so don't bring up age.

The Ukrainian Rada Wanted Shokin Removed

The Rada=The Central Council of Ukraine was the All-Ukrainian council that united the political, public, cultural and professional organizations of the Ukrainian People's Republic.

Joe Biden was not a member of the Ukrainian Rada

Viktor Shokin had much bigger issues than the corruption case against Mykola Zlochevsky. Almost immediately after he was appointed, he started to cause almost irreparable harm to Ukraine’s legal system.

For starters, he failed to prosecute any prominent members of the Yanukovych regime or anybody in the current government. He constantly blocked reform to Ukraine’s broken legal system. He was in charge of implementing the 2014 law on prosecution which the European Union had asked Ukraine to do for years.

The law aimed to reduce to role of prosecutors who “were absurdly superior to judges in the Soviet legal system that persisted in post-Soviet Ukraine” according to Atlantic Council. It also called for a reevaluation of all prosecutors in order to weed out the more corrupt and incompetent ones. Shokin manipulated the process so that the old system mostly remained the same and minimal, ineffective changes were implemented.

He was the largest obstacle to judicial reform in Ukraine. It wasn’t just Joe Biden calling for his ouster, it was the United States government and the European Union.

It's amazing how you are so willing to believe anything Trump says. This post is a long load of horse crap.

You guys didn't think it through very well before you ran with it, and it was stupid, so it blew up in your faces. It happens so much to you guys, it would seem that you would be used to it, yet, you act like it's the first time, over and over and over again.

Biden bragged on video of using ONE BILLION in US aid as a bounty to get the prosecutor fired who was investigating Hunter Biden's corruption, which is also Joe Biden's corruption, because Hunter was making a boatload of money from the Ukrainians while Joe Biden was point man for US/Ukraine relations, and Biden demonstrated this by letting them know they had six hours to fire the prosecutor or no Billion dollars in US aid. That's a fact, straight from Joe Biden's mouth. The man Democrats are likely going all unite behind claiming he should be our next US President.

At the same time, Trump voiced his opinion, to the new president of Ukraine that he should investigate the Bidens corruption, but, unlike Biden, he did NOT make U.S. aid to Ukraine contingent on such an investigation. Unlike Biden, there is NO EVIDENCE of quid pro quo. Yet, the Left claims Biden should be President and Trump impeached? That's the dumbest position you could have taken, why are you surprised that this too blew up in your faces?

"Opinion."

LOLOL

According to Giuliani, Trump told Zelensky "he better investigate corruption" of Biden.

According to a whistle blower, Trump said that 8 times during one phone call. And then there's the $250 million trump withheld.

That's not an "opinion."

According to a whistle

Hold on, Yes or No:

You are saying that the whistleblower SAYS that Trump threatened to withhold $250M if they didn't continue to investigate Biden's corruption?

The whistle blower is blowing Pavlov's dog whistle to get Nadler, Schiff, and conditioned snowflakes salivating...again. The whistle blower did not personally see / heat anything but is relaying / spinning a story...

Bwuhahahaha

Wrong.

Thank you for that fact-LESS, emotional, believable 'N.Y. Times' rebuttal, snowflake....

[Zorro!]

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

Ukraine Prosecutor Says No Evidence of Wrongdoing by Bidens

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!

LOL

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.

Then why are you so worried about it? It's not like Trump offered them a $Billion bounty in US taxpayer money like Biden did.

But you say Biden should be our next president, when he did use a Billion US Taxpayer dollars as a bounty to get the prosecutor fired who was looking into his son's corruption, but that Trump should be removed from office simply for saying that they should look into this rather obvious corruption?

LOL

What on Earth led you to believe I'm worried about this for Biden? I think if anyone's neck is on the line here, it's trump. Though I leave the door open that it could be no one did anything wrong. But the Biden's have nothing to worry about other than perception painted by the right.

The President of the United States put "his neck on the line" if in the aftermath of a company being investigated for corruption, who hires the Vice President's son for $50,000 a month, for expertise he did not have, while his dad was point man for US aid to their country that could ruin as high as a $Billion at a pop? Give the US dollars in play, Trump had a duty to encourage a thorough investigation.

Ukrainian officials confirm that Billion Dollar Bounty Biden was well aware that 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.

U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden’s American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts — usually more than $166,000 a month! — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine.

Shokin told The Hill, in written answers to questions that, before he was fired as general prosecutor, he had made “specific plans” for the investigation that “included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden.”

But before he could interrogate Hunter, Papa Biden put a Billion Dollar Bounty on him and he was removed from his position so that Ukraine could get the Billion dollars in US aid that Papa Biden controlled.

The timing of Hunter Biden’s and Archer’s appointment to Burisma’s board has been highlighted in the past, by The New York Times in December 2015

Jim McCabe testified under oath that they were. FISA is for spying on FOREIGNERS. The only way it can be used to spy on US Citizens is with solid evidence that the American is working as a SPY for a foreign government. The Groundless Assertions in the Clinton Purchased Dossier is the ONLY source for for the claims that Carter Page was spying for the Russians.

The DOJ, FBI and the IC used the dossier as a pretext to fool the FISC into authorizing the illegal spying, secure in the knowledge that Hillary was going to win and that one would ever be the wiser....OOPS!

The Clowns on the Left try to equate this to Watergate, and that would work, HAD MCGOVERN BEEN ELECTED and then as his administration took over the Executive Branch, slowly learned how the previous administration had illegally spied on his campaign, even while launching a campaign to drive him from office.

Bullshit. And who is Jim McCabe?

OMG you should back away now.

Back away from what? Who is Jim McCabe? Is he related to Andrew McCabe? You know, the one who actually testified?

Dumb ass.

dUDE No one is perfect but most knew who he was talking about when he mentioned McCabe

Fuck that. I'm doing what you republicans do. And that's the way it is going to be.

Facts scare you

 

[JimH52]

Trump is desperately trying to divert attention from whistleblower to Joe Biden. It won't work.

ABC News already explained the whole clusterflock - Biden's son was accused of conning the Ukraine out of $83-million/month working as an "Natural Gas" consultant.

In fact, Son Holden Biden had just come out of a treatment center for cocaine addiction and has no experience at all in the natural gas field. Daddy Joe made sure the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Holden was fired before he allowed the U.S. to give Ukraine its regular $1-billion stipend - and then Joe bragged to the Council on Foreign Relations on exactly what he did. According to lawyers this is bribery, or extortion (take your pick) in return for an act that covers up a crime.

If course you have no proof...just Repub shir....

The president either directly or indirectly withholding military aid for the purpose of getting dirt on a political opponent is a crime....

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.

It's amazing how you are so willing to believe anything Trump says. This post is a long load of horse crap.

And it's all based on the word of Lyin' Donald.

No. The Billion Dollar Bounty By Biden is based on Biden:

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.​

Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived

This is like the dumbest "Trump Scandal" you guys have ever tried to push. Did Trump trick you into this?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Biden and his office were very clear on the general prosecutor's probe of Burisma and his son's role:

• Hunter Biden's appointment to the board was widely reported in American media;
• The U.S. Embassy in Kiev that coordinated Biden's work in the country repeatedly and publicly discussed the general prosecutor's case against Burisma;
• Great Britain took very public action against Burisma while Joe Biden was working with that government on Ukraine issues;
• Biden's office was quoted, on the record, acknowledging Hunter Biden's role in Burisma in a New York Times article about the general prosecutor's Burisma case that appeared four months before Biden's Billion Dollar Bounty forced the firing of Shokin. The vice president's office claimed that Hunter Biden was a lawyer free to pursue his own private business deals even while his Dad was point man for their countries aid from the US Taxpayer.
• It's not uncommon for foreign corporations to give 50,000 a month to the VP's kid for skills he doesn't have while his Dad is passing out US aid to the country, even though they could point out no other examples.

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 says that while reviewing the Burisma investigative files, he discovered “members of the Board obtained funds as well as another U.S.-based legal entity, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, for consulting services.” Rosemont is an investment firm connected with Kerry's son and Joe Biden's son.

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.

Nazar Kholodnytskyi, the lead anti-corruption prosecutor in Lutsenko’s office, confirmed that part of the Burisma investigation was reopened in 2018, after Joe Biden openly bragged about his Billion Dollar Bounty that got his son's prosecutor fired. "We were able to start this case again,” Kholodnytskyi said.

But he said the separate Ukrainian police agency that investigates corruption has dragged its feet in gathering evidence. “We don’t see any result from this case one year after the reopening because of some external influence,” he said, declining to be more specific.

So, according the current prosecutor, it was Biden Shooting Off His Mouth about the Billion Dollar Bounty that got the case reopened, not Trump's phone call. Trump merely encouraged them to keep digging. And with the US dollars involved, it was Trump's duty to encourage him to do so.

 

[easyt65]

Elizabeth 'Fake Woowoo' Warren is guilty of 'Stolen Heritage' to con her way (fraud) into getting Tenure, and Biden abused his power as VP to force Ukraine into dropping the criminal case involving his son...demonstrating the Socialist Democrats can't find a candidate who doesn't have a criminal past.

This also drives the point home that running for political office - especially for President - has become such a corrupt, vile process - one where a candidate does not try to convince people why they should vote for them but one in which the party completely destroys their opponent and their families - where no honest, moral, ethical, 'good' qualified candidate would ever subject themselves and their family / friends to it.

Instead we are stuck with criminals like Hillary, Woowoo, & Crazy / Criminal Uncle Joe.

 

[JimH52]

David Corn reported in 2017that a trump rival initially ordered the dossier. Hillary picked it up after the rival stopped payment. The rival was never named.

The Dirty Truth About the Steele Dossier

Actually, what Corn said was....

A veteran spy has given the FBI information alleging a Russian operation to cultivate Donald Trump

In June, the former Western intelligence officer—who spent almost two decades on Russian intelligence matters and who now works with a US firm that gathers information on Russia for corporate clients—was assigned the task of researching Trump’s dealings in Russia and elsewhere, according to the former spy and his associates in this American firm. (Before the former spy was retained, the project’s financing switched to a client allied with Democrats.) “It started off as a fairly general inquiry,” says the former spook, who asks not to be identified.​

And yes, the rival was named. It was the Washington Free Beacon. And Steele was hired after they dropped Fusion GPS.

My point is....the initial funding did not come from Hillary
And she did not initially order the dossier.

"This was for an opposition research project originally financed by a Republican client critical of the celebrity mogul. "

There's no evidence Hillary ordered the dossier. There's no evidence she even received a copy of it before the election. But Fusion GPS did not hire Steele until after Hillary hired them.

There's no evidence trump colluded with the Russians but the left won't drop that shit.

We live in a fucked up world we've created these days.

I'm not speaking about the left or right in general. I'm speaking to a poster who posted bullshit.[/QUOnt]

It wasn't bull shit. The point was Hillary did not order or initially pay for the dossier....and the use identiity of the Republican who initially ordered was never revealed....but the organizaion that ordered it was.

 

[easyt65]

It wasn't fact less. You are wrong puff puff.

Really? Then how me your link to where it says the whistle blower witnessed / heard the conversation between our President and Ukraine's....

Should not be hard to do since it is a fact / source on which you based your comment...

[Crepitus]

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

Well seems Clinton and the Steele dossier was legal it even caused the FBI to go to the FISA Court.

The dossier is not why the warrants were issued. But Trump can tell you anything and you don't question.

Jim McCabe testified under oath that they were. FISA is for spying on FOREIGNERS. The only way it can be used to spy on US Citizens is with solid evidence that the American is working as a SPY for a foreign government.

The Clowns on the Left try to equate this to Watergate, and that would work, HAD MCGOVERN BEEN ELECTED and then as his administration took over the Executive Branch, slowly learned how the previous administration had illegally spied on his campaign, even while launching a campaign to drive him from office.

Bullshit. And who is Jim McCabe?

OMG you should back away now.

Ok kid, why don't you tell us who you think Jim McCabe is.

 

[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.

Cite the public law that makes asking a foreign government to investigate a criminal an abuse of power!

Nevermind. Don't bother! You can't do it!

That's because your post is a non-sequitur. I never said there was a public law. I said it's an impeachable offense. Try exercising some reading comprehension next time.

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

Trump has every right to ask a foreign leader to investigate corrupt actions of a former US VP

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 …


Joe Biden, His Son and the Case Against a Ukrainian Oligarch
As the vice president aims to curb corruption in Ukraine, Hunter Biden sits on the board of a Ukrainian company accused of having “illicit assets.”

It's not been proven Biden did that for his son...

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.

... trying to make it appear that Biden acted alone and only when Shokin was fired...

Biden claims that he and Obama acted in concert.

There's reporting that the U.S. was after Ukraine's prosecutor general's office for a year leading up Shokin's removal. And not for investigating Burisma Holdings, but for refusing to take actions against them. In 2014, the U.K. froze Burisma's assets due to apparent corruption. In early 2015, a British court reversed that because the prosecutor general's office refused to turn over related documentation from an ongoing investigation of their own. Shokin was installed but according to news reports, he left the investigation on hold. It was lack of transparency and corruption in Ukraine's prosecutor general's office which prompted the U.S. government, led by Biden, to use a billion dollars of loan guarantees as leverage to get Ukraine to replace Shokin. And that was merely to replace him -- it wasn't to shut down an investigation.

Wait a minute! Wouldn't that be you using the same logic as applied to President Trump? He was merely replaced and that the investigation was not shut down, and that Trump firing Comey was NOT obstructing justice?

Thank you for taking any attempt at impeachment and ripping it out of the Democrat's playbook!

LOLOL

Dayum, you're one ignorant con.

The difference is .... what Biden sought to gain was getting Ukraine to clean up a corrupt prosecutor's office.

What trump sought to gain was to get dirt on a leading opposition candidate who's challenging him for the keys to the White House.

If the whistleblower story is true - Trump has committed the ultimate impeachable offense.

Abuse of power, if true.

Abuse of power is when your boyfriend uses an electric vibrator on you!

LOL

Never takes long for a conservative to express their homo-erotic fantasies on a public forum.

...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.

You think that was Biden's big concern? He wanted to fire the prosecutor who was not allowing his son to be sent to prison in the Ukraine? That was his goal?

My God, the lack of logical thought you have there!

Then again, maybe he thought that some prison time might allow him to kick his coke addiction!

Great, let's see your evidence Hunter Biden was facing prison in the Ukraine.....
