Whistleblower complaint "related to multiple acts"
"series of actions that goes beyond any single discussion with a foreign leader"
Trump appointed Inspector General wrote: "relates to one of the most significant and important of the DNI's responsibilities to the American people" -
But the usual pathetic hypocrites just let this pass when it was the Sociopath-in-Chief doing the actual PERSECUTION of whistleblowers. 😂
Obama’s War on Whistleblowers
The president has been accused of allowing the Stuxnet leaks to help in the election, but his overarching policy has been extraordinarily tough on whistleblowing.
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/06/obamas-whistleblowers-stuxnet-leaks-drones/
“The Obama administration has been cruelly and unusually punishing in its use of the 1917 Espionage Act to stomp on governmental leakers, truth-tellers, and whistleblowers whose disclosures do not support the president’s political ambitions. As Thomas Drake, himself a victim of Obama’s crusade against whistleblowers, told me, “This makes a mockery of the entire classification system, where political gain is now incentive for leaking and whistleblowing is incentive for prosecution.”
The Obama administration has charged more people (six) under the Espionage Act for the alleged mishandling of classified information than all past presidencies combined. (Prior to Obama, there were only three such cases in American history, one being Daniel Ellsberg, of Nixon-era Pentagon Papers fame.) The most recent Espionage Act case is that of former CIA officer John Kiriakou, charged for allegedly disclosing classified information to journalists about the horrors of waterboarding. Meanwhile, his evil twin, former CIA officer Jose Rodriguez, has a best-selling book out bragging about the success of waterboarding and his own hand in the dirty work.
Obama’s zeal in silencing leaks that don’t make him look like a superhero extends beyond the deployment of the Espionage Act into a complex legal tangle of retaliatory practices, life-destroying threats, on-the-job harassment, and firings. Lots of firings.” -

This is so awesome. I couldn’t have imagined a better, more fucked up, scenario perpetrated by blithering idiot trumptards. Churn the cesspool!

It’s even better.
On video Biden tells the world as Vice President he held up a billion dollars in US aid and gave Ukraine 9 hours to fire their version of an inspector general who was literally investigating his son for corruption and not a peep from the nutjobs around here.
Trump tells the new Ukraine president they ought to look into that (and hell yes they should) and it is foam at the mouth time for same said nutjobs.
You couldn’t make this shit up. -
It gets better. First Giuliani denied shaking down Ukraine. Then he admitted it. This is unbelievably trumptarded. You can’t make this up.HoustonHusky said:It’s even better.

Is that a diversion against the investigation of Hunter Biden? Because it’s not a very good one.CirrhosisDawg said:

Eager to see how Pelosi explains that offering military hardware to a foreign country in exchange for that country damaging a domestic political rival is somehow not an impeachable offense

If that is what happened then Trump will be impeached, but I’m not buying anything until I see some facts to support it and given the number of times many of you who are busy in this thread gleefully blowing each other have ended up with egg on your faces I’d pump the brakes a bit.HardlyClothed said:Eager to see how Pelosi explains that offering military hardware to a foreign country in exchange for that country damaging a domestic political rival is somehow not an impeachable offense

Wait so this latest episode of lets make shit up has brought the spotlight on Biden colluding with the Ukraine to enrich his family?
How will Trump survive? -
If Trump simply asked the Ukraine to continue with their investigation of Biden I don't have any problem with that. If he offered them some form of inducement to re-start the investigation he has a problem.RaceBannon said:Wait so this latest episode of lets make shit up has brought the spotlight on Biden colluding with the Ukraine to enrich his family?

Odd how little interest the MSM has in the actions of Biden that were being investigated. -
If he is as stupid as his opponents think and did cross the line he is in trouble. He seems confident he will be rich cool and 22-0 thoughSFGbob said:

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, alongside visiting Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, the president blasted the “ridiculous” story, blaming a “partisan whistleblower” and calling it “just another political hack job.”
“I don’t know the identity of the whistleblower,” Trump said.
He wouldn’t say what was discussed in the call but said someone should “look into” Biden family connections to Ukraine.
He also argued the press has had “a bad week,” insisting he has prevailed in controversies reported by the media.
“I guess I’m about 22 and 0, and I’ll keep it that way,” the president said.

Biden and China is even better
China private equity
Peter Schweizer, author of Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends, wrote: "In December 2013 Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, travels with his father aboard Air Force Two to Beijing. ... Shortly after they return to the U.S., Hunter Biden's firm receives a $1 billion private equity deal from the Chinese government. The deal was later increased to $1.5 billion."[38][39]
Bohai Harvest
Biden is on the board of Bohai Harvest RST (also known as BHR Partners) which, according to reporting in The Intercept, invested in Face++, a mobile phone app built by the Chinese government to introduce a mass surveillance state and spy on its citizens. The application has been used to spy on Muslims in China's western province of Xinjiang, where an estimated 1 million Muslims are being held in “re-education” camps, providing government authorities access to data that shows personal information.[40][41]
The website said the company has the support of the state-owned Bank of China. Bohai Harvest has also partnered with a subsidiary of China's conglomerate HNA Group.[40]
According to Peter Schweizer, Bohai Harvest "became an “anchor investor” in the IPO of China General Nuclear Power Corp., a state-owned energy company involved in the construction of nuclear reactors. In 2016, the US Justice Department would charge CGN with stealing nuclear secrets from the United States". Bohai Harvest also "joined forces with a subsidiary of Chinese state-owned military aviation contractor Aviation Industry Corporation of China to buy American precision-parts manufacturer Henniges."[42]
Hunter Biden partnered with James Bulger, son of former Massachusetts state Senate President William Bulger. According to The Intercept, business registration filings in China list Hunter Biden and James Bulger as key officials at Bohai Harvest.[40]

Other than dad threatening the Ukraine if they investigate his sons billion dollar deal sure nothing
It was a coincidence -
So Biden's son didn't hold a position in a Ukrainian gas company while his father was vice president?HHusky said:
