About Hunter Biden

So when Jared is flying on AF1 while obtaining loans for his family business we should pay attention? I thought there was nothing to see there?

You didn't hear nothing to see from me. Investigate them all.
 

I really wonder if you would say the same thing if Eric Trump flew over to china on air force one and within a week was given a 1.5B dollar investment contract.

I really wonder if people understand the basic concept of CONFLICT OF INTEREST!!!!!! I understand Ukrainians and Chinese do not care about conflicts of interest, but in this society, private businesses have detailed laws describing conflicts of interest.

Joey Biden is dependent on BIG DONORS for his campaign, They are actually held up to some pretty strict federal laws for conflicts of interest. They may not feel the same way about this as you do.

PS, China does not give money to american investment banks for investments. That deal stinks to high heaven.

I am not going to argue with anyone about the legality of it. Let's just assume it is perfectly legal. Let's just say Joey was the president of the US, then I would not impeach him. I will tell you this, There are a bunch of candidates on that stage who are better than Joe Biden in so many ways, including ethically, that I have no problem not voting for him.
 

Would an employer know that you failed a drug with the navy? I might be wrong, but I doubt it.


Again, you're making little sense. Hunter Biden can be a mass murder. What would that have to do with Joe Biden? Is a father responsible for his adult son? All your unproven claims are against Hunter Biden.

You don't have any evidence that Joe Biden did anything wrong.

You should focus your energy on defending Trump during his impeachment trial because of the extortion scheme he was running using various criminals in Ukraine.
 

Do YOU understand conflict of interest? It applies to government employees not private citizens.

Your claim that Biden got some 1.58 Billion contract is repeating garbage that Trump and Giuliani told you. So now you believe Donald Trump?

You didn't answer my OP question. Is there a job where Hunter Biden wouldn't get an advantage because of his name? So how can you claim it's wrong for him to take advantage of his name when it's unavoidable? And finally, what does what Hunter Biden, a private citizen does have to do with his father?

If you don't like Biden and prefer another candidate that's fine. But this line of attack promoted by a con man needs to be exposed for its absurdity.
 
Would an employer know that you failed a drug with the navy? I might be wrong, but I doubt it.

Companies who hire board members usually do it for PR and/or expertise. They will run a background check so they don't associate their stock holders with a bad influence. A dishonorable discharge is a public filing just like a felony. But with Hunter its been public knowledge for years.

Again, you're making little sense. Hunter Biden can be a mass murder. What would that have to do with Joe Biden? Is a father responsible for his adult son? All your unproven claims are against Hunter Biden.

I didn't provide you with any unproven claims. If you want to dispute one call it out and I will address it.

You should focus your energy on defending Trump during his impeachment trial because of the extortion scheme he was running using various criminals in Ukraine.

I might if it is necessary but you don't even have an Impeachment Inquiry and Pelosi has already stated she isn't going to ask for a vote so for now all you have is Pelosi and Schiff making accusations and we know how that has turned out thus far. I have no concerns.
 
Even if we accepted that this is the amount, it still reeks of conflict of interest and we don't know Joe's role. I'm not sure why this is difficult for people to admit.

No more difficult than for you to admit that Jared has zero diplomatic qualifications or experience and yet he is jetting around on AF1 as "ambassador for peace in the ME" while obtaining sweetheart loan deals for his family business from the very foreign countries he is "negotiating" with. If that doesn't "reek" then neither does Hunters deal.

So you think Trump should be investigated too?

I think Trump should be investigated by a publicly visible proceeding in which every member of the appropriate body can participate freely. Behind closed door, democratic controlled hearings in which it is already being reported that witnesses are being pressured to testify according to the democratic narrative are not investigations. They are star chambers. Probably why they refused to release the transcript of Volker's testimony as it would appear as if Schiff's blood was on the ceiling after it was over over him trying to strong arm Volker into giving false testimony.
 


Right, neither Trump nor any of his kids even take a salary but they are enriching themselves. Clownish.
 
Careful. “Quid pro” is stealing from Trump. The Hunter Biden sideshow is so obvious a diversion from the President’s corrupt use of Constitutional power you might think it would have closed by now, but here we are.

The only people trampling on law are Schiffhead and his followers.
 

Right, what Biden bragged about is fabricated but Trump being a Russian agent is the gospel. It would be funny if not so damn dumb.
 

Glad to see you have the utmost faith in the Ukrainians while talking out the other side of your mouth about their corruption when it suits your purposes. Dismissed.
 

I don't support Kushner or anyone getting sweetheart deals out of public service.
 
Right, neither Trump nor any of his kids even take a salary but they are enriching themselves. Clownish.

A salary would be pennies for them. These are very rich people. It's a fact that Kushner's family were in deep financial trouble on a mortgage they owed at 666 Madison Ave. And it's a fact that a Canadian firm where Qatar was the biggest investor bailed them out. And it's a fact that Kushner was involved in ME policy which included a blockade of Qatar.

All those are facts. Which fact do you deny?

Is Qatar lying?

Qatar admits it unwittingly helped bail out Jared Kushner's skyscraper

Why don't you just admit to yourself that you don't care about corruption if you support the politician?
 
I don't support Kushner or anyone getting sweetheart deals out of public service.

But why is Kushner working in the WH? He has no foreign policy experience. He's only Trump's son-in-law.

Trump said he would clean up the swamp. But this is very swampy.
 

I'll make sure not to vote for Kushner.
 
I don't support Kushner or anyone getting sweetheart deals out of public service.

So you admit that if Hunter is corrupt so is Jared and Ivanka and they are still benefiting from their corrupt positions that are solely based on nepotism? That arguably makes investigating them much more important.
 
I'll make sure not to vote for Kushner.

Or the Administration that is more guilty of nepotism than any other in recent memory one would hope. It would be terribly hypocritical otherwise don't you think? That is if you are truly against such nepotism or just when Democrats do it.
 
Right, neither Trump nor any of his kids even take a salary but they are enriching themselves. Clownish.

Ivanka and Jared continue to enrich themselves, and earned more the $83 MILLION during the first year of the Trump presidency. Just in the past year, Ivanka has sought, and been granted, 16 difference patents for her cosmetics products by the Chinese government. Estimates are that the value of those patents will be in the 10 figure (i.e. Billion $) range. She's earned another $4 MILLION PER YEAR (on average) just from her stake in the Trump D.C. hotel.

Jared's real estate company increased its net holdings by more than $50 MILLION, just in the first year (2017) of his father-in-law's presidency.

Jared and Ivanka are members of their, but yeah...you're right...she and Jared aren't "enriching" themselves because they "graciously" and "selflessly" declined the $180K salaries in the White House.:roll:

Only idiots and Trump acolytes believe that.
 

So, those patents have only been granted because Trump is POTUS I guess. Seeing as how Trump is making life miserable for the Chinese, your theory doesn't hold water.
