Ron Johnson asks Secret Service to verify Hunter Biden's travel history after email bombshell

Top-ranking Republican Sen. Ron Johnson on Tuesday asked the U.S. Secret Service to provide information about Hunter Biden's travel history following last week's apparent bombshell report regarding emails between Hunter and a Ukrainian national that suggested the former may have been selling political access to his father Joe Biden.

... On Tuesday, in a letter to U.S. Secret Service Director James Murray, Johnson—the chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee—asked Murray for several records pertaining to Hunter Biden's travel history with Secret Service details.

In the letter—also signed by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley—Johnson noted that several of the emails allegedly written by Hunter match up with records of travel history involving his Secret Service detail. One Apr. 13 email, for instance, makes reference to a trip to Houston. "Secret Service records show a travel entry for Mr. Biden from April 13, 2014 – April 14, 2014, to Houston, TX," Johnson noted in the letter.

Noting that one of the emails references an apparent Secret Service detail a year after Hunter Biden ended that arrangement in 2014, Johnson asked the committee for any records indicating that Secret Service agents accompanied Hunter after July of that year, as well as records of communications between Hunter, some of his associates and Secret Service agents during Joe Biden's vice presidential tenure.

"Please provide this information as soon as possible but no later than October 26, 2020," Johnson wrote in the letter.

The clock’s ticking but there’s still time to do a lot of damage.

Still a lot of non Republicans voting on election day.

Be nice to grab a chunk of them or have them sit it out.

Why the F are we paying Secret Service detail for this scumbag.

If we were his travels should be well known.

There is a fraction of Republicans who think of Biden as the lesser evil. Proof that he’s in the pay of foreign governments will recast him as the greater evil. Trump has 86% GOP support. Assuming all else stays the same (i.e. Biden being bought and paid for doesn’t increase his Dem and independent vote), even a 5% increase in GOP support will give Trump what he needs to prevail.

Those guys in the Senate really have a leisurely pace. And now Mitch having the SC vote next week, as if having 100 people push a button takes so much preparation time.

These Senators would never make it in the fast-paced private sector.

Sh*t,I suppose the Secret Service probably knows everything since its inception. Unless it truly is extreme national security,they should be compelled to give any information we the people want.

Even in a leisurely paced business.

IIRC one of Trump’s early complaints as POTUS was how LONG it takes to get anything done!

This caught my eye. Why would Hunter Biden have a Secret Service detail on his trip to Houston if his SS arrangement ended a year earlier?

ANSWER: He didn’t have his own Secret Service detail on that Houston trip. He was traveling with Joe Biden.

The Biden basement must look like a war room.

The two most efficient operations in government:

1) Parking meter enforcement.
2) FBI prosecution of innocent Republicans.

I’m sure the square footage of his basement exceeds that of my ranch house.

This should be a five minute exercise. Johnson’s committee requested the info weeks ago.

Yup. Half of these “lawmakers” are dumber than stone, the other half are just plain lazy. Delay their paycheck for 10 minutes and they’d scream bloody murder.

But, it’s secret - hence, the name.

Yes, Ron Johnson has been a warrior. I saw that Siffy shift is sounding nervous. Wonder if he could be in on the Ukraine mess.

It sure wouldn’t surprise me, if Shifty Schiff has his slimy tentacles in the Ukraine mess.
