Can you explain why Hunter Biden was not qualified for the job? 

Since you can't prove a negative, I'm sure you can list his qualifications for the lofty position.

They should investigate Trump’s daughter and son-in-law they’re very corrupt

No, he's not a politician. But the laws on corruption apply to him. 

 

And his Daddy is most certainly a politician.

 

His appointment to a foreign firm, for which he was totally unqualified, whilst his VPOTUS Daddy was responsible for American relations with that country might suggest something a little strange to even the dumbest most naive person perchance?

 

And now it seems he may have been traveling around at tax payer expense too.

 

They were under the radar until they crawled out from under their stone and shone the light on themselves. 

 

 

So where is the evidence of corruption? There is no evidence that Burisma got any money from the US government. That's easy to check, the current administration has access to all the information. Nothing has been shown.

He had previously served on company boards. He was likely able to introduce other board members to people involved in similar work to Burisma. 

It is certainly not necessary to know anything about a company's product to be appointed to the board.

All investigations have failed as of yet.  You don’t expect this one to be different.

Well let's see. His Daddy was responsible for US relations with Ukraine when VPOTUS. He, Hunter, gets a lucrative position on the board of a Ukraine gas company. A position for which he is not qualified and experienced but is however appointed to a position created for him and very well remunerated. His Daddy was at the time was responsible for all the aid, monetary, military, etc America might or might not give to Ukraine.

 

But hey, they're democrats so no need to investigate, all above board, no corruption, clash of interests. No siree. 

 

Wonder what roles junior might get if Daddy is elected POTUS?

Are you actually listening to yourself?

Do the names Ivanka, Jared and Don Jr. ring a bell?

You are seriously wanting to investigate a father and son, who -if at all- enriched themselves "illegally" in some country, far far away...while at the same time, the daughter of the Holy Potus is holding a position in the administration, she is in no way qualified to hold, other than her father having the hots for her!

And by that measure, she got a sweet deal with her chinese manufactured clothing- line!

While at the same time, his son- in - law holds x positions in the administration, from opioid- epedemic cunsultant to dove of peace in the Middle East, all of which he is ansolutely not qualified for, but who gave him a sweet deal in his dealings in some oil- country?

While at the same time his son, who is oficially taking care of daddys business and sticks his head into every political discussion from Russia- investigation to accusing the Demorcarts of wishing death on American citizens, to gain politically from the COVID19- crisis!

 

Bur sure...you are soooooooo concerned about Biden's nepotism and "corruption"!

Absolutely pathetic!

Mar 31 Barr testifies before the House judiciary committee. As usual, I expect he will calmly make every Democrat on the committee look foolish.

The Trump family has not done anything wrong. They are not receiving millions from a foreign gov funneled through multiple bank accounts. They are doing admirable jobs, especially Jared Kushner. Covid19, wow stretching beyond belief! Biden is dirty!

What conflict. Hunter is not a politician. So he has no conflict.

 

Perhaps you should ask why its taken this administration over 3 years to even think about it. Using govt to investigate a guy only because he may be going for election.

 

What other corruption are they investigating.

Father point man on Ukraine, at time when Ukrainian oil company needs investigations to into CEO to end, re gas leases. Prosecutor forced out, more crooked prosecutor put in, son Hunter is passed through over 3 million USD. Seemingly because prosecutor was off Burisma back. 

 

Yeah, let's have a look. The son has been a scumbag in all he has done, I think more scum will be found. And I want the Biden's China scam looked at too.

what corruption? Ukraine investigated burisma and determined a company can employ whoever it likes. There is no allegation of corruption.

He knows nothing of Ukraine, does not speak Ukrainian or Russian, has no experience in oil/gas, and less then one year previous was booted from Officer candidacy program for cocaine positive <deleted> test, and he is a crack head! I could go on... But in a nutshell!

Big problems ahead for both Joe and Hunter Biden, starting with questions as to how they got so rich so quickly in Ukraine.

Burisma can pay hunter whatever it likes.

 

How rich did joe get. Is there any complaint?

 

Why should they answer anything. Why even turn up. Just ignore it. Its ok to ignore it isnt it?

No problem actually. Joe Biden has released his full financial disclosures and last 3 years of his tax returns. He got nothing to hide unlike Trump.

Move along. Nothing to see here. Just another Republican HOAX with no merit like all the other ones they cook up for each election to keep their naive base occupied. Remember Benghazi? Remember the Clinton email servers? Remember Whitewater? Remember Fast and Furious? etc. etc.

That is your opinion. I would argue that the impeachment process started with the Bidens corruption overseas in Ukraine and involved his son Hunter landing a job he was unqualified for, but only got it through and because of his father Joe. Trump then rightly started investigating it, and that appalling video "son of a bleep he got fired" came out then it was a lot of backpedaling and clumsy attempts to claim Biden was exonerated and cleared (false). So we have a chicken and egg conundrum. We will have to let the courts decide who is right and wrong. Still, this is dreadful timing for Joe.

Defiantly your opinion. How could the impeachment process start with Biden landing a job in the Ukraine, like 3 years before. Your argument fits right in with the russian jnterference and Jules running around Ukraine

Does it really matter a company can hire who ever they want and pay them what ever they want. Any proof that the old man was enriched by his sons employeement. And did Joe provide any help for the country of the Ukraine outside of his normal VP responsibilities

It's not true. There was no active investigation.

On so many points incorrect.

 

He was doing nothing, hence sacked. It was not Biden but US policy who asked him to be sacked for his inactivity.

Lets just add Biden was working under official US policy when he requested the do nothing prosecuter to be fired, he was not off on a secret mission like the trumps boys
