Trump encounters GOP resistance to investigating Hunter Biden

[The Purge]

A push by President Trump and conservatives to dig into Hunter Biden’s work in Ukraine is running into stumbling blocks from an unusual corner: congressional Republicans.

Some Republicans believe Trump’s impeachment trial or a separate Senate committee inquiry could lay the groundwork for investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, who have both emerged as a fixation for Trump and his top allies as they look for a foothold in the impeachment battle.

Trump escalated the effort on Thursday when he tweeted that the Bidens “must testify” — raising the specter that the president’s lawyers or GOP senators could try to drag them into the public impeachment trial.

“What did Hunter Biden do for the money?” @SenJohnKennedy A very good question. He and Sleepy Joe must testify!” Trump tweeted.

But a push to focus on the Bidens as part of an impeachment trial quickly received a cool reception from Republicans on Capitol Hill.

“His lawyers, I presume, can ask for any witnesses they want. But I think we ought to keep focus on the articles of impeachment and not go down any rabbit trails,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told The Hill.

Asked about Trump floating that the Bidens should testify, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he didn’t understand it as a "defense to the president.” “We’ll make that decision, not the president,” Graham added.

It appears that some Republicans REALLY DO want to lose the 2020 election by NOT TAKING APPROPRIATE ACTION when the poker is hot!

This is the sort of muck Trump continues to have to work through to get things done.

The GOP is the problem!.... Seems old time, established Repiblicans are a decent part of the Swamp....Remember who they are and HOPE they get primaried!

This should come as no surprise...Republicans are nutless pussies and that’s how the Left has handed them their asses for decades.
The pieces of shits couldn’t keep white people and God cool in an amazing nation founded by white Christians.

Why was biden put on some powerful companies in the Ukrane?>

I mean they coulda put him on the board of Utah Power and Light.

 

[whitehall]

More fake news? There is no evidence that the President "encounters GOP resistance about anything. This is a left wing fantasy. Is this the best the crazy left can come up with since the basement hearings seem to be falling apart?

Or it just might be that the issue has already been investigated.

Back in 2015, an investigative reporter looked into the Hunter-Barisma matter.

"Biden did threaten to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees unless Shokin was ousted. But that was because Shokin had blocked serious anti-corruption investigations, not because he was investigating Burisma."

It will work out pretty good in 2020 when all the people who are sick of hearing about the impeachment hand the Democrats their asses.

 

[Lesh]

trump losing the support of GOP Senators is not a good thing for him.

It's good for the nation though

 

[Care4all]

I truly do not see how the Biden's being questioned help Trump in his possible impeachment defence? The republicans seem to be saving Trump from himself..


Not hurting him?
