re: Trump tweeting whistleblower attorney donated to Biden!

I am realistic, and expect that almost all of these attorneys have contributed to either one party or the other. They are attorneys.

It’s blackmail of a foreign government.

That’s literally what we do with nations all the time, like threatening other nations who deal with Iran and other nations under sanctions.

And how impotent does Obama look in all of this?

I mean a bunch of nations (and organizations like the IMF) were calling for the prosecutor’s removal, so I’m not sure how getting him removed would look bad if he was as corrupt as they said.

Maybe what actually happened was bribery, but I don't see how you could say that what he STATED (withholding a loan to remove a corrupt prosecutor) is bribery. That's not much different than the DOJ withholding loans from sanctuary cities or putting sanctions on a country and withholding funds from them.

Ummmm...

Biden withheld foreign aid from Ukraine unless and until the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden's criminal activity with Barisma (sp?) was fired.

FYI, using public tax payer funds for personal gain is a big no no.

Surprised you didn't know that.


And holding back funds from sanctuary cities is to shape public policy by democratically elected officials in the public's interest (even if you personally don't like it).

Personal gain versus policy initiatives.

There is MASSIVE difference.

He also worked for Hillary at one time, so I’m not sure what’s so shocking about this.

I've already covered this.

It's contrived bullshite.

Literally ALL of this chatter started after this prosecutor got the company Hunter worked for in his sights.

Congrats. You discovered the rest of the west listens to the leaders of the world's largest super power.

The whole ordeal (Biden joining board in 05/14; Shokin appointed in 02/15; US publicly accusing Shokin of corruption in 09/15; Shockin’s removal of 03/16) relatively quickly. If he was corrupt, then it would have had to occur in that time anyways.

And regardless, this doesn’t explain why a whole bunch of other countries were calling for his removal. Biden may not even been important enough to do something that corrupt and lie about the Shokin’s corruption to even Obama (on his way out), let alone other nations.

So it was a corrupt global effort to take out this prosecutor to protect the son of a relatively obscure Vice President in a lame-duck administration, and it couldn’t have just been that the prosecutor was corrupt?

And they took on all that risk for that one prosecutor, but they kept him in office for months and kept alive to tell about it?

But I guess we’ll give the guy who spent years working for the Communist Government of the Soviet Union the benefit of the doubt.

And look at all the money Trump gave the D's, and not only that, he even had the Clinton's at his wedding, endorsed Hillary's presidential abilities, and was golfing buddies with Bill. Maybe that's why they're still free and clear legally, because their buddy is in power (I don't believe that).

So could you so unconditionally support someone who went way beyond just donating money to a crooked D candidate? Or maybe it's just not that big of a deal if someone supports a particular candidate at one time or another when most of their life is independent of that.

You're a dumb arse

bribe definition "money or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust"

if you remove X prosecutor, you will receive the withheld money. If you do not remove X, then you will not get money. This is the scenario that occurred.
Money was threatened to be withheld based on conduct, and was disbursed based on said conduct being performed, from the mouth of Biden himself.

sometimes bribes are legal, like what you listed federal vs state. However using your office to bribe foreign officials for the benefit of yourself/family benefit is not one of those instances. Bribery occurred, to deny this is serious mental gymnastics.

There may be an argument as to whether Biden's bribery was for personal gains or whether it was legitimate policy. But there is no argument that bribery occurred.
