I don't know. Ask the house managers. They brought up Biden and Burisma over 400 times in 21 hours.
Perhaps you're asking the wrong side.
Pam Bondi is absolutely dismantling Hunter/Burisma right now

No, Son. You "hear otherwise" for the conspiracy theory mongers and through Russian propaganda.
We will stick with the truth.

You wouldn't accept the truth if it slapped you in your liberal face.

Speaking of nepotism, we definitely need to call these two in.
And we need China to start an investigation also.

What is the keyboard version of talking slowly, so you will understand? Having your capable and experienced daughter and son in law work for you is DIFFERENT than making completely unexperienced children board members in corrupt foreign countries. On the one hand, people you trust are working for you, on the other you are laundering money through relatives in foreign countries. Take a moment, then breathe deeply. It will come to you.
Neither Ivanka nor Jared were qualified or experienced for the jobs they were given. Getting jobs in your Daddy's companies, both of which operate outside the law, and have been convicted of criminal behaviour, is hardly a "qualification" or "experience".

Only took ya 3 months to prove what an idiot you are
Bondi is a dumb blonde. She uses the same bleach Coulter uses. It softens the brain.

You mean this "little picture"?
What happened one month later, Loser?
Here's a hint:
Timeline of events between Trump's two Ukraine phone calls - CNNPolitics
"July 25: Trump and Zelensky talk by phone.
"A readout of the call between Trump and Zelensky is posted on the official website of the President of Ukraine and it includes that 'Donald Trump is convinced that the new Ukrainian government will be able to quickly improve image of Ukraine, complete investigation of corruption cases, which inhibited the interaction between Ukraine and the USA.'
"In September, the White House will release a rough transcript revealing that Trump pressed Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter."

Schiff and Pelosi have finished their jobs in this matter:
Maybe Trump should testify under oath?

It's incredibly baffling.
How do you see anything remotely comparable here? On the one hand, Ivanka is actually employed by the White House and receiving a government salary. On the other hand, Hunter Biden was hired by a private natural gas company in Ukraine, Burisma, to sit on its board of directors -- receiving somewhere in the range of $80,000 per month -- just a few months after his father was appointed head of US-Ukraine relations.
Moreover, Hunter Biden's position on the Burisma board was not publicly announced by Burisma for several months, until just after the UK announced it had started a money laundering investigation against Burisma and froze over $20 million in Burisma's assets.
Lastly, after Ukraine started its Bursima corruption investigation -- and after Burisma had hired Hunter Biden -- Burisma sent representatives to the State Department to ask Joe Biden to intervene, which resulted in the now infamous intervention by Joe Biden that caused Shokin's firing, which Joe Biden famously bragged about in the video that is memorialized on YouTube. Mind you, around this same time, John Kerry's son disassociated with Hunter Biden and his former college roomate who invited him to join the Burisma Board, dissolved the business venture the 3 of them had entered into together, and reported all of this to the U.S. Government. Joe Biden even told Hunter "I hope you know what you're doing son"
All of this was outlined with documents in Bondi's presentation. If you are being as open minded as you say, you really should take 30 minutes and watch that presentation, then do some internet research on your own and dig into this.
She isn't. That would be illegal.
Federal law, at 5 U.S.C. § 3110, generally prohibits a federal official, including a Member of Congress, from appointing, promoting, or recommending for appointment or promotion any “relative” of the official to any agency or department over which the official exercises authority or control.

Sure, with more than a dozen witnesses from within the administration who are in on it.

That is exempted by 3 U.S.C. § 105(a) since she is appointed as Senior Adviser to the President. That provision provides:
Subject to the provisons of paragraph (2) of this subsection, the President is authorized to appoint and fix the pay of employees in the White House Office without regard to any other provision of law regulating the employment or compensation of persons in the Government service. Employees so appointed shall perform such official duties as the President may prescribe.
Also, the full text of the section you cited applies to "civilian positions in the agency" to which the relative is a supervisor -- a position which she does not occupy. And again, that section is usurped by 3 U.S.C. § 105(a) with regard to the President's appointment of employees in the White House. So no, not illegal.
Also, to correct my prior post, which was written in haste, it is my understanding that she does not receive a salary for her position as Senior Adviser to the President. But that's neither here nor there with regard to this particular point.

Ask the House Clowns. They spent hours talking about Quid Pro Joe, Burisma, and the Crackhead.

The appearance of conflicts of interest are everywhere in this administration. No more so than with Kushner. His brother is doing business in Saudi Arabia. His property got a huge buyout from a company whose second largest investor is Qatar.
We are talking sums of money massively larger than what Biden was paid as a board member.
I know. I had to watch it on MSNBC.
Implying that MSNBC is one of big three.
