The Bidens' Defense: We got Paid, but not Bought (And it;s a Lie)

[MACAULAY]

The Ukraine Scandal Spreads

"I take it as a given that Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma paid the Biden family a $3 million bribe. That follows from the facts that 1) Hunter Biden doesn’t speak Ukrainian or have any experience in Ukrainian business, 2) Hunter Biden has no experience in the natural gas industry, 3) Burisma nevertheless paid Biden more than $83,000 a month (!) for three years to serve on its board of directors, a role that usually is only nominally compensated, and 4) Joe Biden at the time was responsible for Ukraine policy in the Obama administration. But there may be even more to the scandal than that."

++++

"A State Department official who served in the U.S. embassy in Kiev told Congress that the Obama administration tried in 2016 to partner with the Ukrainian gas firm that employed Hunter Biden but the project was blocked over corruption concerns."


____

One of the great scandals of our time---and there are aplenty---is the payoff which the Bidens received for obvious political influence, which the Media WILL NOT cover.

One of the ploys which we are becoming used to, out of this Pravda-like Media, based in New York, and controlled by the Democratic Party, is this:

If the Democrats have committed any crime which is older than 6 months old---HAS BEEN DEBUNKED!

Everything uncomfortable to the Democrats (Bolsheviks) has been debunked!

Will any of you Bolshevik Cocksuckers show me where this obvious "Political Payoff" the Bidens received from Ukraine---and for which Uncle Joe, in a senile moment, bragged on....bragged on having executed a classic illegal quid pro quo---show us where it has been debunked.

A statement that our (Obama's) allies supported the demand to fire the Ukrainian Attorney General...even if true...is not enough to overcome what this Fool Joe Biden has admitted to---outright interference in Ukrainian national business---to get a National Prosecutor fired who had just raided the home of the President of the Gas Company which was paying Biden's son $50,000 to $83,000 PER MONTH

You foolish Assholes. Your TDS is going to destroy the rule of law in this country.

Anyone with a lick of common sense knows the Bidens are neck deep in Ukrainian payola and corruption. Those without common sense, a.k.a Trump haters are losing control of their bowels over a private phone call.

All you can do is whine about the media. When the facts are not on your side, it's the media's fault. Or it's the deep state's fault. That frees you from having to refute facts. That is a standard ploy by Trump and his supporters.

The fact is Biden did nothing wrong. Shokin was a corrupt prosecutor. The world community knew it as the head of the IMF displayed reluctance to send any money to Ukraine under these circumstances. Ukrainians knew it. That is why anti-corruption Ukrainians held large protests against Shokin.

This tweet calls you a liar. There was no investigation of Burisma when Biden came to Ukraine nor when Hunter Biden was hired. Trump's decision to abandon the Kurds was a economic decision based on the fact that Trump gets millions from his business ties to Turkey and nothing from the Kurds. That is okay with you but Hunter Biden makes money legally and that is a crime to you. You are the one who has TDS and is shredding the rule of law in this country.

The DOJ can open a investigation so why haven't they? Clearly they have no probable cause to open a investigation. Ukraine has not opened a investigation. That is why Trump had Giuliani putting pressure on Ukraine.

Making a statement like that shows your lack of common sense. What we are talking about is much more than a phone call. It is a rogue foreign policy conducted by Trump and Giuliani designed to pressure Ukraine to open a investigation of Biden. The fact they had to resort to pressure says there was no evidence to open a investigation of Hunter Biden.

But perhaps you can provide the benefit that was worth $millions to a drug addicts, thrown out the military, with no knowledge of either oil or the Ukraine.....

....quite a find was Hunter for Burisma Holdings, huh?



And China got a great deal as well.....

Let's review:
Why did Biden brag about withholding $1 billion if the Ukraine didn't fete his son's business.

And why did China reward his son with $1.5 billion???


And why did Russia give Hillary $145 million for our uranium?

And give Bill $500,000 for a speech no one listened to???


And
"…the Clinton Foundationmade a major announcement this week that went by with almost no notice: For all intents and purposes, it's closing its doors.

In a tax filing, the Clinton Global Initiative said it's firing 22 staffers and closing its offices, a result of the gusher of foreign money that kept the foundation afloat suddenly drying up after Hillary Clinton failed to win the presidency.”
The Clinton Foundation Is Dead — But The Case Against Hillary Isn't | Investor's Business Daily



“Donations to the Clinton Foundation nose-dived last year amid Hillary Clinton’s presidential run, pay-to-play allegations, internal strife and a black mark from a charity watchdog.

Contributions fell by 37 percent to $108 million, down from $172 million in 2014, according to the group’s latest tax filings.

Not only did contributions drop, but so did revenue the Clintons brought in from speeches. That income fell to $357,500 from $3.6 million in 2014.” https://nypost.com/2016/11/20/donations-to-clinton-foundation-fell-by-37-percent/



Biden bragged he would cut $1 billlion if they didn't get rid of the prosecutor who was investigating his son's company.

Here it is again.

In May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe. In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake.
Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”

[PoliticalChic]

It has already been established that Hunter Biden wasn't qualified to serve on the board of Burisma, but now it's clear qualifications weren't the reason he was hired and paid more per month than the median annual income of U.S. workers. He was hired because his father was Vice President of the United States. That same vice president succeeded in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma fired. We know this because Biden bragged about it:

During his five-year stint on the board, where he was making what is now believed to be $83,333 a month, he was regarded as "a helpful non-executive director with a powerful name," according to several sources in Ukraine. During the entire time he was on the board, Hunter Biden never even visited Ukraine for company business.



Clearly, Hunter's presence on board paid off in that regard, thanks to Quid Pro Joe.

Trump's decision to abandon the Kurds was a economic decision based on the fact that Trump gets millions from his business ties to Turkey and nothing from the Kurds. That is okay with you but Hunter Biden makes money legally and that is a crime to you. You are the one who has TDS and is shredding the rule of law in this country.

The DOJ can open a investigation so why haven't they? Clearly they have no probable cause to open a investigation. Ukraine has not opened a investigation. That is why Trump had Giuliani putting pressure on Ukraine.

"Asking a foreign country to investigate a political rival is unmatched"??????????????????

Are you insane? You mean since the Steele Dossier?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

It has already been established that Hunter Biden wasn't qualified to serve on the board of Burisma, but now it's clear qualifications weren't the reason he was hired and paid more per month than the median annual income of U.S. workers. He was hired because his father was Vice President of the United States. That same vice president succeeded in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma fired. We know this because Biden bragged about it:

During his five-year stint on the board, where he was making what is now believed to be $83,333 a month, he was regarded as "a helpful non-executive director with a powerful name," according to several sources in Ukraine. During the entire time he was on the board, Hunter Biden never even visited Ukraine for company business.



Clearly, Hunter's presence on board paid off in that regard, thanks to Quid Pro Joe.

Hunter Biden Never Worked in Ukraine, Was Only Hired to 'Protect the Company'

Thank you, Joe for giving Trump the PERFECT Campaign to vaporize lifelong scumbag politicians who have been laundering taxpayer dollars back to their families

The Ukraine Scandal Spreads

"I take it as a given that Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma paid the Biden family a $3 million bribe. That follows from the facts that 1) Hunter Biden doesn’t speak Ukrainian or have any experience in Ukrainian business, 2) Hunter Biden has no experience in the natural gas industry, 3) Burisma nevertheless paid Biden more than $83,000 a month (!) for three years to serve on its board of directors, a role that usually is only nominally compensated, and 4) Joe Biden at the time was responsible for Ukraine policy in the Obama administration. But there may be even more to the scandal than that."

++++

"A State Department official who served in the U.S. embassy in Kiev told Congress that the Obama administration tried in 2016 to partner with the Ukrainian gas firm that employed Hunter Biden but the project was blocked over corruption concerns."

One of the great scandals of our time---and there are aplenty---is the payoff which the Bidens received for obvious political influence, which the Media WILL NOT cover.

One of the ploys which we are becoming used to, out of this Pravda-like Media, based in New York, and controlled by the Democratic Party, is this:

If the Democrats have committed any crime which is older than 6 months old---HAS BEEN DEBUNKED!

Everything uncomfortable to the Democrats (Bolsheviks) has been debunked!

Will any of you Bolshevik Cocksuckers show me where this obvious "Political Payoff" the Bidens received from Ukraine---and for which Uncle Joe, in a senile moment, bragged on....bragged on having executed a classic illegal quid pro quo---show us where it has been debunked.

A statement that our (Obama's) allies supported the demand to fire the Ukrainian Attorney General...even if true...is not enough to overcome what this Fool Joe Biden has admitted to---outright interference in Ukrainian national business---to get a National Prosecutor fired who had just raided the home of the President of the Gas Company which was paying Biden's son $50,000 to $83,000 PER MONTH

You foolish Assholes. Your TDS is going to destroy the rule of law in this country.

One of the great scandals of all time is the one that Trump committed. Asking a foreign country to investigate a political rival is unmatched.

All you can do is whine about the media. When the facts are not on your side, it's the media's fault. Or it's the deep state's fault. That frees you from having to refute facts. That is a standard ploy by Trump and his supporters.

The fact is Biden did nothing wrong. Shokin was a corrupt prosecutor. The world community knew it as the head of the IMF displayed reluctance to send any money to Ukraine under these circumstances. Ukrainians knew it. That is why anti-corruption Ukrainians held large protests against Shokin.

Thank you @OliverBullough - indeed it’s insane to use UKRAINE as a ball at the AMERICAN national political field. Prosecutor Shokin did not open the case on Zlochevskyi & Burisma. He dumped it. And he was fired for being corrupt and failing prosecution reform @kenvogel

Y'mean what Hillary did with that dossier?


Now....couldn't apply to Trump.


Document reveals Ukraine had already reopened probe of Hunter Biden-linked firm months before Trump phone call

Document reveals Ukraine had already reopened probe of Hunter Biden-linked firm months before Trump phone call

Sooo….there could not have been either quid pro quo, or pressure put on Urkainian president.




That must hurt, huh?

There was nothing illegal about the dossier. Steele was a private investigator who had contacts in Moscow. His dossier was accurate in several instances.

There was no investigation of Hunter Biden to re-open. Also if the case had been re-opened, Trump would not have needed to ask for a investigation of Hunter Biden. He would have been proclaiming it from the highest mountain. The pressure to open a investigation was being applied months before the call by Giuliani.

Trump is the one who is laundering taxpayer dollars to himself. Every time he goes to his resort on vacation, he makes money as the Secret Service is forced to pay for rooms and golf carts. That money goes into his pockets. He wanted to host the G-7 next year at one of his resorts. That would have been a boon to him.

How much salary is Trump accepting for being President?
