Senate aint going to convict if trump were to be impeached in the house. That would be the republican death knell and good riddance to those weak spineless rubes if they did.
So let's say, for arguments sake, Democrats prove conclusively that he used that military aid to coerce Zelensky to dig for dirt on Biden -- you still think Republicans won't convict him?
Wait a minute. If they find what Biden did applies to Trump? Is that what you mean?
Biden didn't do what trump allegedly did. Biden served the U.S.. Trump, if this story is true, served Trump.
Biden did worse you ******* retard. He demanded a foreign prosecutor be removed to protect his son.

Indeed, we now know there's been an investigation of Hunter Biden's dealing with the Ukraine and China.
We also now have Hunter's laptop computer that confims the allegations in his own private communications including the failed attempt to get $10 million dollars from China....
Yup.
In 2009, Hunter
co-founded a new venture, Rosemont Seneca Partners. Rosemont and Hunter were given extraordinary opportunities in China while his father was vice president. Here are some key facts:

1. Joe Biden met with Hunterâs Chinese partners days before they established a new investment firm.
In December 2013, Hunter landed in Beijing aboard Air Force Two, accompanying his father on an official visit to China. Less than two weeks later, Hunterâs company, Rosemont Seneca, became a partner in a new investment company backed by the state-owned Bank of China.
Christening the new firm Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), the partners set out to raise $1 billion for the new fund.
Representatives of the Biden family have denied any connection between the vice presidentâs visit and Hunterâs business. However, a BHR representative
told The New Yorker earlier this year that Hunter used the opportunity to introduce his father to Chinese private equity executive Jonathan Li, who became CEO of BHR after the dealâs conclusion.
2. BHR is a multibillion-dollar enterprise.
Exceeding their initial fundraising goal, the partners at BHR raised their target to $1.5 billion for the new fund. The companyâs website now brags that it manages âover RMB 15 billionâ in assets â the equivalent of about $2.1 billion in todayâs dollars.
Under the terms of the deal, BHR, in which Hunterâs firm held an equity stake, would be a lead investor in the fund. Other investors include China Development Bank and Chinaâs social security fund.
3. Hunter and his partners had prominent roles within the company.
Despite his relative lack of private equity experience, Hunter landed a prominent role with the new company. Under the terms of the original deal, Rosemont Seneca, Hunterâs firm, shared a 30% stake in BHR with the Thornton Group, which was run by James
Bulger, the son of longtime Massachusetts state Senate President Billy Bulger (and nephew of mobster ****** Bulgar - See Dirty Bob Mueller). Hunter and Bulger joined the board, along with Devon Archer, Hunterâs longtime business partner. Archer would also serve as vice chairman of the fundâs investment committee.
The value of these partnerships to BHR is clear. Its
own website boasts: âBHR, with its unique mixed ownership, combines the resources and platforms of Chinaâs largest financial institutions ⌠and the networks and know-how of our U.S.-based investment fund and advisory firm shareholders.â
4. BHR represented a unique investment opportunity.
BHRâs relationships werenât the only unique thing about the company. Rosemont Seneca was getting a piece of something that no other Western firm had: a private equity fund inside the recently established Shanghai Free-Trade Zone, with a focus on international acquisitions. With the backing of the
state-owned Bank of China, one of the countryâs âbig fourâ financial institutions, BHR had access to the types of deals that most Western firms only dreamed of, including IPOs of state-owned companies.
5. BHR invested in strategically sensitive assets in both China and the United States.
In December 2014, BHR became an âanchor investorâ in the IPO of China General Nuclear Power Company (CGN), a state-owned nuclear company involved in the development of nuclear reactors. Not only is CGN a strategically important company in China, it was also facing legal scrutiny in the United States. In 2016,
CGN was charged with espionage by the Justice Department for stealing US nuclear secrets.
As a âcross-borderâ investment fund, Bohai Harvest was interested in making deals outside of China. In 2015, BHR acquired Henniges Automotive, a Michigan-based producer of vibration-dampening equipment, alongside
Chinese military contractor Aviation Industry Corp. of China (AVIC). Given the military applications of Hennigesâ technology, the deal required federal approval. Like CGN,
AVIC was suspected of stealing US technology for its purposes.
Not long after the Henniges deal closed, AVIC debuted its new J-20 fighter â incorporating designs allegedly stolen from the USâ F-35 program.
6. It wasnât an isolated incident.
In 2015, a state-backed real estate conglomerate acquired a controlling stake in Rosemont Realty, a sister company of Rosemont Seneca where Hunter served as an advisor. As part of the deal, the Chinese promised $3 billion for commercial office property acquisitions in the US â a major windfall for the company.
It wouldnât be Hunterâs last episode with Chinese capital. In May 2017, he met with Ye Jianming, chairman of Chinese energy company CEFC, to discuss investment opportunities in the US. After the meeting,
Ye sent a 2.8-carat diamond to Hunter along with a âthank youâ card. When, six months later, a CEFC executive was arrested in New York on unrelated bribery charges, his first phone call was to Hunterâs uncle, James Biden. James
told the New York Times that âhe believed it [the call] had been meant for Hunterâ and that âhe had passed on his nephewâs contact information.â
Ye, now accused of bribing a Communist Party official, has since been detained in his native China.
All of this adds up to an extremely troubling pattern. Much of the media, as they so often do, have chosen to air the spin, rather than the facts, on this issue.
Did the Chinese give favorable treatment to Hunter Biden to curry favor with his vice-president father?
Narrator's Voice: YES
The American public deserves to understand what exactly Hunter Biden was doing overseas and the extent of then-Vice President Bidenâs involvement.
