I’m a little saddened to see that your only response about Daddy’s self-evident corruption is more whataboutism. It is sad what some of you have become.
Under what theory of American law do we go after someone for something we are ignoring about someone else?
There is a remarkable level of difference between crimes that are admitted and crimes that are merely alleged.
Please expand on this latest line of bull shit
Joe admitted his crime. Trump didn't
This is your “Many people are saying the Emperor is wearing clothes” moment. Daddy’s people are now past that, telling us to “get over” his crimes.
I can only take some solace that impeachment sentiment is growing in one segment of Republicans—young Republicans.

That's a lot of words to say you're talking out of your ass
I asked yesterday why the democrats don't want all this explosive testimony they are leaking on television for everyone to see. This may be a reason
A State Department official focused on Ukraine policy told Congress this week he raised concerns about Hunter Biden’s role on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas firm in 2015, but was rebuffed by former Vice President Joe Biden’s staff, Fox News has confirmed.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent, who testified behind closed doors before committees spearheading the formal House impeachment inquiry, told congressional investigators that he had qualms about Hunter Biden’s role on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings.
The Washington Post first reported details of Kent’s testimony on Friday, which included his concerns that the younger Biden’s role in the company could complicate U.S. diplomatic efforts with Ukrainian officials, and raised the issue of a possible conflict of interest. Kent also testified that he was worried that Hunter Biden’s position would make Ukrainian officials think he was a channel of influence to his father, who was vice president at the time.
A congressional source confirmed to Fox News on Friday that Kent testified that when he brought his concerns to the office of the vice president in 2016, his staff “blew him off” and ignored the issue involving the younger Biden's role at the firm.
Sources also told Fox News that Kent told congressional investigators about the Obama administration’s efforts to remove Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin from his post. At the time, Shokin was investigating Mykola Zlochevsky, the former minister of ecology and natural resources of Ukraine — also the founder of Burisma.
Shokin was fired in April 2016, and his case was closed by the prosecutor who replaced him, Yuriy Lutsenko. Biden once famously boasted on camera that when he was vice president and leading the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy he successfully pressured Ukraine to fire Shokin — who was investigating Burisma Holdings while Hunter sat on the board.
Biden allies, though, maintain that his intervention prompting the firing of Shokin had nothing to do with his son, but was rather tied to corruption concerns.
However, Kent testified that while Shokin faced accusations of corruption, his replacement, Lutsenko, did too, and that both ex-prosecutors were godfathers to former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s children. However, according to sources Kent said that while the United States pushed hard for Shokin to be fired, no one ever pushed for Lutsenko to be fired.
At the time, Shokin was investigating Mykola Zlochevsky, the former minister of ecology and natural resources of Ukraine — also the founder of Burisma.
Think Scotty or O'Keefed will admit they were talking out their asses?
I’m completely shocked that Blob and Race suck down the Trump talking points disseminated from Fox News and discount the abundant of other sources out there pointing out they are wrong...completely shocked!

You really have this much trouble following the news? "At the time, Shokin was investigating Mykola Zlochevsky, the former minister of ecology and natural resources of Ukraine — also the founder of Burisma." This has been shown to be false for some time now...is today Wednesday?
I can't speak for anyone but myself but I share the same concerns expressed by Kent in this story. Does Hunter joining the board of a Ukrainian gas company while his dad is VP allow for the appearance of a conflict of interest? Of course. Hunter has even acknowledged that. But that doesn't mean there was anything overtly corrupt or illegal about it.
It's like the G7 decision. Could it be that the facility at Doral is the perfect facility for the conference and that holding it there makes the most sense and is cheaper then the next best alternative? Of course but it certainly allows for the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Get paid $720K a year for a no show job, where you do no work, that you acquired only because your dad was this sitting VP.

He did show up to the board meetings and provided legal and transparency consulting work during his time on the board. I understand why you want to lie about that though.
Was his salary commensurate with the work he did? We can argue about it and we might even agree about it but if we are going to start holding board members accountable for collecting a much higher salary then they are otherwise due for bullshit BOD positions then say good bye to 95% of corporate board members.
It's also pretty hilarious that now you Trumptards are suddenly concerned with the appearance of a potential conflict of interest....

According to the Reuters story I posted earlier he never once visited the Ukraine during his 5 years as a board member. Now maybe he attended remotely but it seems pretty odd to me that you're a board member for 5 years and not once do you attend a board meeting at the home office.

The board meetings were held outside of Ukraine as there were many members of the board that were not Ukrainian nationals.

The real conflict is dad withholding aid money from Ukraine unless he fires the guy investigating the company his son is "working" for [LOL] and possibly investigating his son and himself. That's not kosher.
