    Getting to the bottom of foreign interference with our 2016 election is the duty of the US President. He was right to ask for assistance in our ongoing investigation. Democrats are frantically trying to criminalize this because they know what will be found once this is uncovered: THEM!

    The Vice President involved in a bribery scheme with foreign interests, unheard of in our lifetimes.

    Boomerang! Dem Impeachment Witness Craps Out on Biden Crime Family – Says Joe Biden Was Warned in 2015 of Hunter’s Illicit Dealings But Scoffed

    The Washington Post: George Kent, a career diplomat told investigators that he was worried Hunter Biden’s seat on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company would complicate relationships with other diplomats and their ability to convey to Ukrainian counterparts the virtues of avoiding conflicts of interest.

    Gee, you mean as you are lecturing Ukrainian officials on avoiding conflicts of interest, that they might notice that the VICE PRESIDENT'S SON is pulling down millions in a no show job from a criminally suspected corporation in the country where the Vice President has the power to grant of withhold $Billion Aid packages?

    A career State Department official overseeing Ukraine policy told congressional investigators this week that he had raised concerns in early 2015 about then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son serving on the board of a Ukrainian energy company but was turned away by a Biden staffer.

    George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary of state, testified Tuesday that he worried that Hunter Biden’s position at the firm Burisma Holdings would complicate efforts by U.S. diplomats to convey to Ukrainian officials the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest.

    Kent said he had concerns that Ukrainian officials would view Hunter Biden as a conduit for currying influence with his father. But when Kent raised the issue with Biden’s office, he was told the then-vice president didn’t have the “bandwidth” to deal with the issue.

    Joe Biden’s drug-addled son Hunter was sitting on the board of Burisma Holdings and being paid by some accounts over $200,000 a month even though he had zero experience in the field, never showed up at home office and doesn't speak the language.

    He can (and does) most things he does for his personal benefit.

    He cannot pervert US foreign policy by withholding allocated funds from a foreign country while asking for personal "favors" from that country's president - that he investigate crackpot theories concerning the 2016 US presidential election, and contrive dirt on a political opponent concerning whom there is no evidence of wrongdoing - whether he does so in telephone calls that his handlers try to cover up, or through his personal attorney who has no legitimate standing as a representative of the US government.
