Senate panel approves subpoena in Biden-related probe as GOP ramps up investigations
CNN ^ | 20 May 2020 | By Jeremy Herb

Posted on 05/20/2020 9:37:51 AM PDT by RandFan

A Senate committee voted along party lines Wednesday to issue a subpoena as part of the Republican-led investigation into the Ukrainian energy firm that hired former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.

The subpoena is one of several steps Senate Republicans are taking to ramp up probes related to the Obama administration and Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee who will likely challenge President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted 8-6 to authorize the subpoena Chairman Ron Johnson requested for Blue Star Strategies, a US public affairs firm that worked with Burisma, the Ukrainian company which hired Biden.

It's the first subpoena authorized in Johnson's investigation into Burisma and Hunter Biden that ramped up following the end of the impeachment trial. The Wisconsin Republican has received documents from the State Department and National Archives and says he expects to release a report laying out the committee's findings in the coming months.

Before the pandemic, Trump suggested he would make Ukraine a major part of a campaign against Biden, while Trump and his allies have repeatedly made unfounded and false claims alleging that Biden and his son acted corruptly in Ukraine. Burisma was a focus of last year's impeachment proceedings, as it was the company Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate in their July 2019 call.

“Trump and his allies have repeatedly made unfounded and false claims alleging that Biden and his son acted corruptly in Ukraine.”

Geez Louise. You’re like a little boy on a long car trip who can’t stop demanding to pee every 20 miles. Can’t you say “Trump and his allies have repeatedly alleged that Biden and his son acted corruptly in Ukraine”? You can’t stop sticking your opinion into the story? Whom are you trying to convince? Yourself?

Watch for “news” claiming Independents not having an appetite for more investigations.

Cellcom. We have both Fox channels. Then I come on freep and see posts from CNN with no barf alert. It’s harrowing.

Democracts on the panel should be accused of obstructing justice.

Democrats impeached a POTUS in less time than it took Johnson to issue a single subpoena. Where there is a will, there is a way....

Another talking point is if you bring anything up the left have been told to say this is a deflection, and the Republicans are trying to deflect. They just want to attack Trump and have no plans for the future.

Truth is Gary Condit had a whole crew of guys who hang out together. John Kasich was a part of that group, and interestingly did not run for election. Not sure if Joe was part of that group or not.
