NYT/WaPo op ed incoming seeking to intimidate Roberts



Unfortunately, Roberts has proven to be susceptible to this kind of intimidation, previously. He loves him some Beltway cocktail parties. Threaten to cut off his supply, and he waffles more than an Eggo factory.

No one "knows" Joe saw a dime of the money. That is right. However, EVERYONE knows that Hunter got the job because his dad was VP. The biggest question is did USA tax payer money end up in Hunter Biden's pockets? Being that Burisma is subsidized by the Ukrainian government, you can answer yes to that.

Impeachment proceedings in the Dem-controlled House were a partisan shitshow.

The GOP could easily cause Senate proceedings to avoid a similar description, and one way to do so would be to cede to the Chief Justice the authority for basic rulings on such evidentiary matters.

They have chosen not to do so and have instead chosen to match the Dems ... shitshow for shitshow.

Welcome to DC.

Since Burisma is a privately held company, it's financials are not public. Your statement is conjecture.

The ellipses were right where the language Vindman said was missing could have been.

Imagine that.


Edit:. If Biden gets elected, he'll get Zelensky to release the recording of his phone call with Trump by threatening to withhold military aid from Ukraine.

Then we'll know for sure.

PJ Media from almost 2 years ago.

The guy who started the company was in charge of issuing licenses for development. Burisma also pays much lower taxes than is normal. Tax cuts beyond normal parameters are equal to giving money to companies.

Let's not pretend Burisma and the government haven't been in bed since day 1 of the company's founding, shall we?

quote:

Both Biden and Kerry championed $1.8 billion in taxpayer-backed loans to be given to Ukraine courtesy of the IMF. That money would go directly through Kolomoisky's PrivatBank, and then it would disappear.


He owns the bank that the IMF gave a 3 billion dollar loan to on the advice of John Kerry and Joe Biden. Burisma's subsidiaries shared the same business address as his businesses.

Here's a great quote:
quote:

For these and other reasons, the U.S. government placed Kolomoisky on its visa ban list, prohibiting him from entering the country legally. In 2015, however, after Hunter Biden and Devon Archer had joined Burisma's board, Kolomoisky was given admittance back into the U.S.


quote:

Under Biden's leadership, $3 billion in aid went to Ukraine, and his son's company was implicated in the disappearance of $1.8 billion of that money.

I would have said that's "where they were" except that Vindman's report of the discrepancies in the "transcript" has not been released, for some unknown reason.

Why do you consider this a sound, reasonable deduction but ridicule the notion that Joe Biden pressured the Ukranian government to drop investigations into the firm where he son was making $600k a year?

Welcome to DC


Thinly veiled liberal talking point. The senate is being forced into a shitshow due to the shitshow of the house, as was their plan. All the bickering about who or what to allow is nonsense, because the house‘s clearly rigged process didn’t even bring enough evidence to warrant a legit trial. Its all about flinging more poo and holding the senate hostage to dig up dirt on a political opponent to cheat in the 2020 election.

I dont think we should let the house use impeachment to get help cheating in the 2020 elections. I dont think dems should get to continue selectively choosing evidence to use while burying evidence that hurts their case.


The senate has the sole power of trial, I’m tired of the house dictating rules here. Make your case or admit defeat.

The entire impeachment is based on Hunter Biden in Ukraine,

No, I think it's based on the executive withholding aid approved by Congress - for whatever reason. As soon as the Trump admits to withholding the aid due to Biden or whomever, he's admitting to the charges leveled by the House. Withholding aid is not how you prosecute an American breaking the law in a foreign country.

Trump needs to just stick to his guns that he delivered the aid, he delayed it to make sure it was going to the right hands (or whatever), but that it was still delivered during the same fiscal year. He really should avoid the Bidens altogether. That just adds doubt.

Wouldn’t the relevance be that the Biden’s were suspected of corruption and the aid had a condition of requiring corruption to be rooted out before it could be given?

I ridicule the notion that Biden was pressuring Ukraine to do anything on his own.

Biden was asking for Shokin to be removed on behalf of the Obama administration. Just like the EU and the IMF had asked for Shokin to be removed.

Hell, when Biden told them they weren't going to get the loan, they said "you can't do that" and Biden told them to call Obama if they didn't believe him.
