To 'The View': "Hunter Biden utilized his father's vice presidency to magically end up on a board in Ukraine, with a language he doesn't speak, on a business he knows nothing about for $83k a month. If I did that you guys would lose your minds."

He's right, ya know... but they want to shove that under the rug and want to impeach Trump for trying to uncover it.

that's not what they are trying to uncover...not how Hunter got the job.

They are trying to create proof that Biden threatened to withhold aid unless Ukraine got rid of the prosecutor investigating Hunter's employer...to use his office for personal gain, that being to protect Hunter being what they hope to recreate.
They want to say others have done what Trump is doing for personal gain now.

But it's been established that the pressure from the free world to fire the corrupt prosecutor was for many reasons related to corruption, and Hunter was not the target of them.

That's not to say that Hunter did not get a cushiony job that may be related to fortunate birth (can you say Donald Jr?), but it is also not to say that Joe Biden threatened to hold back money specifically unless his son was left alone...which has been established not to be the reason for the threat.

Asked and answered for quite a while...yet understandable as anything like that job smells of impropriety. It is old news, not as old as birth certificates, but equally inaccurate.

But unless you want to go down the "where's there's smoke there's fire" road and not apply that maxim to the out of control wild fires happening now...

If not to protect Hunter’s interest then why get involved? What item of national security did we protect?

seriously, you are unfamiliar with this recent history of Ukraine?
Do you truly believe Biden waved a pocket full of US aid at them and said leave my son alone or you don't get this?
There was multinational support for the prosecutor to be removed and not to protect Hunter Biden!

All the more reason to recuse himself from anything where impropriety could be assumed.

Al... yes, that's exactly what it was. Frank, yes... they both do it.

See? We agree on things!!

Now... can we agree that for one side the media seems to think it's no big deal, but for the other it's nefarious, underhanded and evil?

Just like both sides use US power and influence (as well as money) to get other countries to act the way we want, join forces with us, or any other number of things to promote our national interest, yes??

So why the impeachment BS for Trump doing what we've always done? And by all accounts he was asking the guy for help in getting to the bottom of election meddling. I thought Russia was involved in that? Don't we want to stop that?

Do I trust Reuters? I don't know who the fk to trust any more.
