Remember when it was so cool that all the blogs and news sites allowed you to make comments? Good luck finding a major or even a medium new outlet or Leftist blog that allows comments these days. They claim they dumped the comment sections because of-off-the hook trolling and flame wars, but I think the “journalists” and “pundits” just hated being called out for their lies, mistakes and stupid takes.
Reuters:
Ukraine agency says allegations against Burisma cover period before Biden joined
A Ukrainian investigation of gas company Burisma is focused solely on activity that took place before Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, was hired to sit on its board, Ukraine’s anti-corruption investigation agency said.
Okay, and?
Separately, a senior official at the General Prosecutor’s office said that neither of the Bidens had been called for questioning in relation to this investigation.
Ukraine would open an investigation into the period when Hunter Biden was involved with Burisma if there were compelling new testimony in Ukraine, Nazar Kholodnytsky, the head of anti-corruption investigations at Ukraine’s Prosecutor’s Office, said on Novoye Vremya radio.
But it could not do so on its own initiative, based solely on comments currently being made in the United States, he said.
U.S. President Donald Trump asked Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in July to probe whether Joe Biden tried to block an investigation into his son’s relationship with the company, which was drilling for gas in Ukraine.
Trump’s intervention is the subject of an impeachment investigation by the U.S. House of Representatives, with Democrats saying the Republican president was trying to push a foreign leader to smear Joe Biden, who is seeking to run against Trump at presidential elections in 2020.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) said an investigation was ongoing into permits granted by officials at the Ministry of Ecology for the use of natural resources to a string of companies managed by Burisma.
But it said the period under investigation was 2010-2012, and noted that this was before the company hired Hunter Biden.
“Changes to the board of Burisma Limited, which are currently the object of international attention, took place only in May 2014, and therefore are not and never were the subject of (the anti-corruption bureau’s) investigation,” the bureau’s statement said.
Hunter Biden was a director on Burisma’s board from 2014-2018, according to documents filed by the company in Cyprus, where it is registered.
The investigation into Burisma covers a period when Ukraine was governed by a Kremlin ally, Viktor Yanukovich. Burisma hired Hunter Biden after Yanukovich was toppled in a popular revolt in 2014 and replaced by a pro-Western government.
At the time, many Ukrainian firms were seeking to distance themselves from their relationships with the previous, pro-Moscow authorities, and some invited Western public figures to sit on their boards.
The NABU’s investigation related to the 2010-2012 period is not particularly active, Kholodnytsky added.
“At the moment, this case is up in the air, so to speak. Up in the air means that there is no active investigative work ongoing. At the moment, detectives and prosecutors do not understand what they are supposed to be investigating,” Kholodnytsky said.
Trump wants Ukraine to investigate the Biden family, accusing Joe Biden of strongarming the Ukrainian authorities, including the then President Petro Poroshenko, to fire General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin in 2016 to protect his son.
Shokin says he was fired to prevent him from investigating Hunter Biden, which the Biden family strongly denies.
Kholodnytsky said that were Poroshenko to make a statement about being pressured into removing Shokin from his post, then an investigation must be launched.
However, he said, neither his agency nor the NABU had received such a statement thus far.
Likewise, he said his department couldn’t initiate an investigation based solely on comments it had heard from the U.S. side.
“If there was pressure from an official of a foreign country then, first off, the law enforcement agencies of that country must ask what it was.”
Oh, well, that totally clears Hunter Biden, right? And if Hunter is clear, then Joe must be clear too, right?
I just have one teeny question. Why was Burisma paying Hunter Biden $50,000-83,000 a month to do? What knowledge or skills did he bring to the table?
Oh, wait, I have a second teeny question: Why did Joe Biden want that prosecutor fired so bad?
Hunter Biden had no experience in the oil and natural gas business. Zero, zip, nada, zilch. He didn’t even speak Ukrainian. So what did Hunter Biden have on his resume that justified that kind of money?
He had a name. His last name is Biden. Just like our former Vice President. Could Burisma have been paying Hunter Biden $50,000-83,000 a month just because his father was a heartbeat away from being the Leader of the Free World? Would a reasonable person think that was a logical inference?
Was the Unkrainian oligarch who runs Burisma (Mykola Zlochevsky) just throwing money around in hopes of making some important friends, or was the arrangement somewhat more explicit?
I’m pretty sure that if Donald Trump Jr. or Eric Trump was paid a lot of money to sit on the board of some shady foreign company there would be a whole lotta investigatin’ going on. And if President Donald Trump bragged about getting a prosecutor who was looking into that company fired, Mike Pence would be POTUS right now.
Now if all this stuff involving Hunter Biden in Ukraine (and China) was thoroughly investigated and it was all legit, that would be one thing. But as far as I am aware, that hasn’t happened.
Ok, a quick look at Twitter to see they are now pushing Trump is physically ill. He had dementia or he had a stroke, blah blah blah. I found this to be hilarious, more projection.
In reply to this, where the UN video “shows” Trump dragging his right leg. Did ya see it, did ya????
Trump is over a decade older than me and he is in much better shape. Plus he sleeps with a smokin’ hot supermodel. It usually takes me a while every day before I can stand up straight. I have trouble walking in a perfectly straight line on flat, level pavement. If the ground is uneven I’m all over the place.
I’m the same age and I don’t know how he keeps the schedule he does, I need a nap after the grocery store 🙂
It appears as if he is walking slowly to accommodate his wife.
He might have been trying to scrape off the last vestiges of Obama’s legacy. Didja ever think of that, Tommy-boy? 🤣🤣🤣
Lol I would imagine it might be similar to trying to scrape something off your shoe, because it stinks. 😳🐕💩

he looks relaxed and just fine———-IDIOTS these puppets are

Reuters left out or sugar coated a few details. That “popular uprising” was courtesy of the Obama state department and the CIA. The “pro-western” president elected was a US puppet. He took his orders from our state department. Wikileaks put out phone call recordings of Hillary’s good friend Victoria Nuland, who was ambassador at the time scheming all of this.
The change in Ukraine to a US puppet is what lead to Russia taking Crimea, an area that had been Russian and an area where they had a critical base. In fact their only southern base with deep sea access, so you can see why Russia was not happy with the Obama administration and CIA games.
That action by Russia then brought on board all the neocons that love them some war, headed by John McCain. Massive amounts of money began to flow into Ukraine, for military, for infrastructure, for industry, you name it, all approved bipartisan……ain’t Uncle Sam great? Uncle Joe was put in charge and he wanted his piece of the pie, it’s called graft. No doubt others got their piece, the McCain institute did work over there, you know Obama and the Clintons got some…..them walk away from free 💰 🙄
I don’t who got what specifically, nobody does…..but we know Hunter had a position that paid well and for which he was not qualified. We also know Joe held 1.2 billion dollars in aid and loan guarantees hostage until the prosecutor was fired. Exactly what time frame was being investigated is irrelevant, his son currently has a cushy gig, Joe didn’t want that to fall through. Who knows what kind of side deals there were with the oligarch, Joe ran blocker for him…..I’m sure he didn’t do it for free.

Rhetorical question: How in the hell, does one of the most manipulative, duplicitous, unscrupulous persons on the fucking planet, who was instrumental in stealing votes from dim primary voters in 2008, and then caught lying and cheating by passing questions to a candidate for the presidency of this country on a major cable network, get a job, on any other network, much less one opposed, to her current views?

It’s currently 94% no 🙂 I’ve only been polled by Zogby back in the 00’s because I signed up as a Republican voting for Democrats. That’s what we slimey Dems did back then, and why I’ll never trust a pollster. Or Nielson Ratings.

I hope he’s not an illegal alien. The city will have to let him go.
Something similar happened to a close friend of mine. She was in New Orleans during the Mardi Gras, shopping in a very nice area, and some guy came up to her and hit her in the face.
She fell in to some wrought iron, injuring her arm and leg as well. (no broken jaw).
How terrible. I hope they caught the hoodlum who did that to her.

Edward Snowden: Joe Biden Threatened Countries Not To Give Me Asylum
Edward Snowden revealed then-Vice President Joe Biden and then-Secretary of State John Kerry pressured countries that protect whistleblowers and asylum seekers to deny him entrance. In an interview with MSNBC’s Brian Williams, Snowden said he applied for asylum to countries such as allies France and Germany but every time it got pulled.
