Hillary Clinton and Ukraine
Wall Street Journal (Paywall) ^ | 9/30/2019 | James Freeman

The Biden clan still needs to explain why a vice president’s son was enjoying a $50,000-per-month gig for which his principal qualification appears to have been his last name. But Joe Biden isn’t the only pillar of the Democratic establishment who won’t enjoy the new spotlight on American relations with Ukraine. And President Donald Trump isn’t the only one who wants a fuller accounting of that country’s role in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

In a letter released on Monday morning, Republican senators Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin ask U.S. Attorney General William Barr if he’s trying to answer the lingering questions:

We write to follow up on Senator Grassley’s July 20, 2017 letter, which highlighted brazen efforts by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign to use the government of Ukraine for the express purpose of finding negative information on then candidate Trump in order to undermine his campaign. That letter also highlighted news reports that, during the 2016 presidential election, “Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump” and did so by “disseminat[ing] documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggest[ing] they were investigating the matter[.]” Ukrainian officials also reportedly “helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.”

The senators aren’t relying on reports from conservative bloggers. The quotations come from a 2017 story in Politico, hardly a pro-Trump outfit. “Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire,” read the headline on the article by Kenneth P. Vogel and David Stern. “Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton,” said the subhead of the article, which was published shortly before Mr. Trump’s inauguration.

The authors reported that Ukrainian government officials “helped Clinton’s allies ...

I've unfortunately seen (up close) a couple of suicides in my 73 years. Because of that I've given suicide a great deal of thought (study) over the years.

I bring this up because I'm thinking of Joe Biden and his son's relationship.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hunter did something unfortunate to himself in the near future.

Right about now he probably doesn't have a very high opinion of himself because of all his absurd behavior.

If on top of that he sees himself as the reason Old Joe FAILS, he just may go get some more drugs and ...... He is a candidate for a bad move.

Here's hoping he doesn't.

Looking in the mirror is a chore for Hunter right about now.

Bypass wsj paywall -

Have a second web browser that you clear the history/data regularly. Get on it and go to google.com and search for the article’s title. When you find it, click it and there’s no paywall.

I use firefox for that but actually surf with Brave or Slimjet browsers.

Good advice and I sometimes do that or use outline.com on sites where it works. However, I also wanted to warn others which is why I put it in the “source”.
