The article also suggests that Trump will muddy the waters, repeat the lie over and over again and his ignorant followers who (again) can't follow the sordid details will assume that Biden withheld money because of Hunter's involvement...Trump supporters will support Trump BASED ON FALSE 'FATCS'. Trump believes that he has the right to investigate an alleged past crime and by doing so has committed a present crime. It is not the job of the POTUS to investigate his political opponent. It is not the responsibility of the POTUS to do that...leave it to the Law Enforcement agencies. Trump has no idea that he - as POTUS - holds a very unique position in our country. In fact, THERE IS NO OTHER POSITION LIKE THE POTUS. And because of that one simple fact, there are special conditions and LIMITATIONS placed on the POTUS. Trumpers, you need to research why Biden (along with the rest of the Western-allied countries) wanted that particular persecutor, Shokin removed. For the past decade, Ukraine was rife with systematic corruption. For years the country refused to clean up the corruption in its government. Europe, EU and the USA were all working together to pressure the Ukraine to clean up corruption. The special prosecutor, Shokin was a major player in the corruption. Along with the UK, EU and the UN...Biden was constantly warning the Ukraine government that the special prosecutor, Shokin was dragging his feet on important investigations in turn for alleged bribes. It had nothing to do with his son. Shokin was not investigating Hunter ....Shokin was not investigation anything. After Shokin did RESIGN, the new prosecutor had then investigated the entire company Hunter Biden worked for, found no criminal activity, and closed their investigation. The person Shokin, Biden bragged about getting rid of was corrupt adn the UK, EU and the UN were all happy. People in Ukraine thought removing him was the right thing to do. Does Trump or his followers understand the history and reputation of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin? He was corrupt to the core. There have been many allegations of bribery, extortion, and basic neglect and lack of diligence. The Ukraine people even marched in the streets several times against this man. He was HATED in Ukraine and when he left his office people celebrated. EU hails sacking of Ukraine’s prosecutor Viktor Shokin, The Irish Times (29 March 2016) Find a good, unbiased source and look into it.

[@gionncaomhinmorpheagh4791]

That's what I don't understand either, Gambit2483. Dipshit Donny has admitted that he held the funds back as leverage and he's also admitted that he asked for Joe Biden's son to be (re)investigated. So there's nothing "hypothetical about it. Just empty fucking waffling to avoid admitting that Dipshit Donny is a corrupt crook. MsG

[@gionncaomhinmorpheagh4791]

@doobiewah357 Actually, it wasn't like that at all. Biden made that threat with the approval of the EU, the IMF and the World Bank because the prosecutor was totally corrupt. Furthermore, Biden's son had already left Ukrain a few months previously after the investigation of his activities turned up nothing. Shal we stick to the facts? MsG
