The Biden family’s Ukraine games cried out for investigation
NY Post ^ | January 28 2020 | Betsy McCaughey

House Democrats impeached President Trump for putting his own political fortunes ahead of the national interest in dealing with Ukraine. But it’s Joe Biden who should be on the hot seat for that.

Trump is criticized for a July 25 phone call, when he asked the president of Ukraine for help investigating what Biden did as vice president to get a prosecutor there fired. At the time, Biden’s son Hunter was on the payroll of a corrupt Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, which was targeted by authorities.

My mind is made up about this. Dirty. Now let’s see the justice do something. Let’s see the media show this to the American public.

Trump did not ask about Biden, Trump asked about Corruption. And I suspect it was more about the fake Dossier than Biden due to the context.

It’s not Trumps fault that the DNC had a money laundering scheme centered around the Ukrainian government.

It’s not the same firm. His name is Paul Pelosi Jr., and there is at least one video of him hawking a different company that he’s a part of related to Ukraine. A quick www search ought to turn up the data.

The left’s impeachment argument is ridiculous. They’re claiming Trump threw around his political clout (on a phone call where he knew many people were listening) just to get a Ukrainian to announce the Biden’s were under investigation. Now how would this effect the 2020 election? We all know the press just continue to ignore the Biden’s corruption and this would just be another unreported story. Hell, if it was ever brought up, Biden would continue to say "it’s a debunked conspiracy" and the media would continue to play along.

There is a massive gaslighting spewing from the DNC-Media hydra and that happens to be the hagiography of Joe Biden.

Probably one of the most ham-handed Tammany Hall politicians in Washington, this moral paragon started his career by being thrown out of Syracuse Law for plagiarizing a paper - lock, stock and barrel - he almost wrote the other guy’s name by mistake. Yet somehow they let him back in and he graduated, at the bottom of the class. He then embellished those written techniques of theft by doing pilfered soliloquies of left wing British politicians. He got caught in 1988 as he was running for president, by brazenly stealing the speech of Labor’s Neil Kinnock and using it on the stump. Like all thieves, he had to withdraw into the shadows. But is that the quality of a man that should lead us? Never mind the horrible Bork Hearings that he presided over. He has no real belief system, he is a parasite, getting his hanger-on family all kinds of no-bid government contracts. Yet we are told constantly by the DNC-Media that he did nothing wrong in the Ukraine, except get his cokehead son millions of dollars in a job that he had no business taking, on the board of Burisma. The Ukrainians running Burisma were looking for protection. The US government has rules against their officials from taking these conflicted positions. But not for Joe Biden or his family, he didn’t give a damn. This ugly issue was actually brought to the Obama WH in January of 2016 by Ukrainian officials yet Biden apparently ignored it, and the NY Times had the story, but being good little Pravda-ites, they spiked it. All to serve the Democrat Party!

So here we are - America, under the Tammany Hall hand of Joe Biden, is in the Ukraine, now considered one of the most corrupt nations on Earth, ranking 144 out of 180 nations, as published in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) by Transparency International, ranking below Nigeria in 2010. It is awash in theft, deception, bribery, money laundering, selling of licenses, false charges, election fraud, abuse of the law, Russian influence, insane greed of politicians, etc. etc. - The head of Burisma, a huge natural resources firm, is an evil oligarch named Mykola Zlochevsky, very close to Putin’s man in the Ukraine - Viktor Yanukovych. Zloch stole billions and as energy minister of the Ukraine, he received nine energy licenses from his buddy - nice to have a friend like Yanukovych. It was sickening corruption, yet the Bidens did nothing wrong, and lovingly worked for him. Zloch was pursued by the Ukraine, as sworn by Viktor Shokin the prosecutor in his signed affidavit. It was Shokin who Biden got fired in 2015 by extorting US taxpayer dollars - and bragged about it on TV. Joe Biden tells us that everyone wanted Shokin gone - but there are no charges against him, there is never any documentation, just his say-so. We all just have to believe Joe.

Zlochevsky was an arch criminal. Why was Hunter Biden working for him? Why are the Bidens supporting Putin’s friends? Did Hunter and Joe intervene with Obama’s State Department to give Burisma preferential treatment? You cannot be on the board of one of the most corrupt companies on Earth, in one of the most corrupt nations on Earth, working for one of the most corrupt people on Earth, and say you did nothing wrong. Either you are a liar or an idiot. Especially when Joe Biden blocked a prosecutor from pursuing the company, and after Burisma admitted they took on Hunter Biden to protect themselves! Zloch reached out to a lobby firm ML Strategies run by David Leiter, who was John Kerry’s former chief of staff, and Kerry was Secretary of State at the time, and said to the US State Department - stop accusing Burisma of illegality we have Hunter Biden on our board.

It was obstruction of justice - and Hunter was in the middle of it. Trump had every damn right to investigate this. We cannot allow US foreign policy to be bought - and that is what happened.

Here’s some background - the Guardian on Zlochevsky.

The Biden family games sure did SCREAM out for investigation, but Republicans either got a piece of the action for themselves and/or turned away from it.

But now, they’re allowing this impeachment circus to go on and on and on while they ALL get paid big money for it.

All of DC is a sham. And WE are financing these idiots. They have NO limits on spending. Because it’s OUR money.

The REAL criminals get off Scot free and then they play along with the charades...

Our government “representatives “ are useless criminals.

We need more like DJT. Wipe the rest OUT.
