Donald Trump Jr

DougBH · 2019-09-23T01:54:48.543Z

To make your analogy more complete, Don Jr didn’t just go to Mexico to get a cushy job. He was asked there after daddy started acting as point man to fuel our tax dollars to Mexico.

So say Jr goes to Mexico and engages in some shady business deals earning 3 million from a Mexican Firm. Then the company and him start getting investigated by the Federales.

A few days later Daddy happens to be in Mexico speaking to their President Lopez. He threatens the President of Mexico (Lopez) that if he doesnt fire the lead prosecutor of Mexico investigating his son and the firm that he will stop 1bn in aid destined for Mexico. Further, he tells the President he only has 6 hours to fire him. It has to happen before he leaves the country or the 1bn is gone.

Now imagine Trump on TV bragging about how he pressured Lopez and how Lopez fired the Prosecutor. (I could see Trump doing that by the way)

If that was all uncovered, and they had him on tape bragging about it, do you think the Dems would be calling for Trumps impeachment?

I think they would and rightfully so. I would fully support them for calling for his impeachment under such a scenario.

So why are they not calling out Biden for this exact scenario? Instead they are calling out Trump for being caught on tape telling the Ukraine President to investigate this matter, and they want Trump Punished for it! Are these people nuts?

I am dumbfounded that no one on this forum has addressed this issue, but I fully understand why the left wants it to be kept hidden.

Oh well, lets go back to Trump bashing as previously scheduled.

They fired a corrupt prosecutor and put in place “someone who is solid”.

I actually watched the video.

ImRightYoureWrong:

Trumps DOJ should investigate and prosecute just like they did for Hillary.

Big cowards… Hunter Biden is covered by FCPA… Why is the Trump administration not taking their “evidence” before a grand jury? Are they afraid?

Colfax · 2019-09-23T11:33:20.086Z

If the DJT scenario happened the way you paid out, the response to Democrat call for investigation would be this:

Trump is president. If he wants to demand something from another country, he can do whatever he wants. It’s not illegal to talk to Mexico. The investigation is pointless because conflict of interest laws don’t apply to the president. And the investigation is illegal because the president can’t be investigated since he has immunity. If the House tries to investigate me, it will go nowhere since everything involved is covered by executive privilege. They won’t get any documents or get any testimony. Don Jr shouldn’t testify because it’s a witch hunt. You can’t impeach someone for having the best economy probably ever.

No collusion.

The short answer is because it is not even remotely close to the same scenario. Tons of detail, timeframes, and context has been omitted in your hypothetical as it relates to the actual events involving Biden.

Giuliani accuses Ukraine of laundering $3M to Hunter Biden, asks how Obama...

Rudy Giuliani channeled President Trump Monday with a wee-hours Twitter blitz aimed at turning the Ukraine story currently roiling Washington into a big problem for Democrats.

So as it ends up, you guys are OK with pressuring a foreign govt not to investigate Hunter Biden? If the prosecutor was as currupt as you claim, the optics would have been a lot better had they just bought him off. It looks to me like he wasnt corrupt enough to be bought off so they had him fired.

Also, do you think Obama and the congress supported giving Ukraine 1bn dollars in aid so millions could go to the Biden Family?

You guys are upset about a few rooms being rented to Air Force personnel from a Trump Hotel, but the Biden family getting millions from a shift back is OK?

Giuliani is either a complete idiot or relying on idiots to believe his BS. The DOJ was the power to launch a FCPA investigation anytime and take it before a grand jury. Are they cowards or there is not enough evidence?

komobu · 2019-09-23T12:32:32.568Z

They are cowards. No one wants to upset the apple cart.

Colfax · 2019-09-23T12:34:20.031Z

No, they’re responsible. Giuliani has no accountability. The DoJ does.

Like I always say, don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story. Party on.

That is the facts.

DougBH · 2019-09-23T18:52:57.920Z

We know at least that two months after Joe is made point man for delivering our money to Ukraine, Hunter is put on a board of a major Ukrainian company being paid huge sums for something on which he has no background.
And yet the same ones who were so worried about a few service people staying at a Trump hotel see nothing wrong with that. They are outraged that anyone would even ask that it be looked into.

Come on conservatives…lets not take them seriously again when they pretend to complain about corruption or benefiting from government positions.

They don’t care one bit.

Colfax · 2019-09-23T18:59:46.305Z

Hunter Biden wasn’t being paid with taxpayer dollars.

Hunter is put on a board of a major Ukrainian company being paid huge sums for something on which he has no background.

At the time, Hunter had already been on the board of a handful of other organizations. As the press release said, he was brought on for consultation for corporate governance. As a Yale law graduate and his experience on other boards, how did he not have the background to provide such services?

Weedhopper · 2019-09-23T19:09:44.782Z

Just like China, It looks like Joe Biden used his position to make him and his family rich.

DougBH · 2019-09-23T19:18:08.216Z

No. Now, did they buy him his job is another question.

Are we seriously going to claim it was coincidence just two months after dad was made Ukrainian point man?

“He is supposed to be advising them on natural gas regulatory issues. He has no background in Ukraine. He has no background in energy or natural gas. So the question is, What is he being paid for? He’s not being paid for his expertise, he has none,” Schweizer said. “His father at this time is the point person on U.S. policy to Ukraine.”

Author Peter Schweizer on Friday night addressed the questions surrounding Hunter Biden’s involvement with a Ukrainian natural gas company while his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, oversaw America’s Ukraine policy.

Why would anyone wonder that?
