The truth is closing in on Joe Biden. It has become clear that the Ukrainian firm Burisma was funneling cash to Hunter Biden as a means of securing the influence of Joe Biden. Biden was named “point man” in 2014 to watch over the notoriously corrupt Ukraine
Obama made then-Vice President Biden the point man, and he became a frequent visitor to Ukraine. By his own count, Biden says he went there about a dozen times from early 2014 through early 2016.
And just about exactly the same time:
In the spring of 2014, as Joe Biden began his trips to Ukraine, Hunter Biden took a position on the board of the country’s largest private gas company, Burisma. He was reportedly paid up to $50,000 a month.
“The younger Biden had ZERO expertise in energy. Why would a company like Burisma hire such such a person?” the author asks with his tongue in his cheek.
A Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, was investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden. Biden threatened to withhold aid to the Ukraine unless the prosecutor was fired.
The controversy ignited anew earlier this year when I disclosed that Joe Biden admitted during a 2018 videotaped speech that, as vice president in March 2016, he threatened to cancel $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, to pressure Ukraine’s then-President Petro Poroshenko to fire Shokin.
At the time, Shokin’s office was investigating Burisma. Shokin told me he was making plans to question Hunter Biden about $3 million in fees that Biden and his partner, Archer, collected from Burisma through their American firm. Documents seized by the FBI in an unrelated case confirm the payments, which in many months totaled more than $166,000.
Shokin has signed an affadavit swearing that he was forced out because of Biden. This caused an uproar in the left wing media, whose job now is to protect Biden.
The NY Slimes and other have been outright hostile to Trump calling other countries asking for help with the investigation of how the Russia hoax got started. Someone leaked to the Times about Trump calling Australia and asking for such help.

Brit Hume noticed that this was not news- it was pure opinion
And this is also pure opinion: “….discussion with Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia shows the extent to which Mr. Trump sees the attorney general as a critical partner to… show that the Mueller investigation had corrupt and partisan origins.” https://t.co/4ssBSs8GNF

Kim Strassel notes how dems delighted in Mueller investigating 2016 but takes exception now
Note what NYT is doing here–trying to suggest questions about 2016 are beyond the pale. Since when is getting to the truth a "personal political interest"? They loved it when Mueller was investigating 2016; but now want all further queries to stop. https://t.co/TrrewLuwZK

Some facts:
-Hunter Biden was making $50k a month for a company in an industry in which he had no experience
-A Ukrainian prosecutor was investigating the company
-VP Biden held up $1B in aid until the prosecutor was firedBut the mainstream press won't dig into those facts. pic.twitter.com/IrZ1ohyL15

And then AG Bill Barr brings down the hammer
A Justice Department official told Fox News on Monday that Attorney General Bill Barr asked President Trump to introductions to foreign countries that might have had information pertinent to U.S. Attorney John Durham’s ongoing probe into possible misconduct by the intelligence community at the outset of the Russia investigation.
But a person familiar with the situation told Fox News it would be wrong to say Trump “pressed” the Australian prime minister for information that could have discredited former Special Counsel Mueller’s now-completed probe, as The New York Times reported earlier Monday.
“The countries have been helpful,” the source said. “There was no pressing required.”
That pretty much wipes out the current democrat narrative.
The media continues to step on its own er, tongue when they abandon the need to vet stories in the fury to get Trump:
Even on its own terms, the media’s Get Trump project has proved a monumental failure. If the blob of blue-checkmark Twitterati wanted to help President Trump portray the latest impeachment push as a partisan witch hunt, they couldn’t have done a better job than they are now.
Consider the latest example: On Sunday, CBS’ venerable “60 Minutes” program reported on Twitter that “the government whistleblower who set off the impeachment inquiry of President Trump is under federal protection because they fear for their safety.” The explosive news seemed to vindicate his opponents’ darkest fantasies about the president: Of course Trump would physically threaten a whistleblower, much as the Corleone family would deal with a snitch.
“The whistleblower is being protected from the executive branch of his or her own government,” fretted Aaron Rupar of Vox. “That’s not quite right,” The Atlantic’s David Frum chimed in. “The whistleblower is also at risk from the private citizen supporters the president incites to violence.”
And so on until — oops: As Politico reported, “an attorney for the whistleblower in the Trump-Ukraine scandal said Sunday that CBS’ ‘60 Minutes’ had ‘completely misinterpreted’ a document from his legal group, after the news outlet tweeted that the whistleblower was now under federal protection.”
In the amusement portion of our program, Biden, who relentlessly attacks Trump, is demanding that the media stop giving Rudi Giuliani air time
Joe Biden’s presidential campaign demanded on Sunday that news networks stop booking Rudy Giuliani for interviews, handing President Donald Trump and his allies a new talking point against the former vice president.
Biden’s campaign sent a letter to executives and anchors at ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, and NBC, according to the New York Times, which first obtained the letter. In it, Biden campaign officials Anita Dunn and Kate Bedingfield call interviews with Giuliani “a disservice to journalism.”
“We are writing today with grave concern that you continue to book Rudy Giuliani on your air to spread false, debunked conspiracy theories on behalf of Donald Trump,” the le
tter begins. “While you often fact check his statements in real time during your discussions, that is no longer enough. By giving him your air time, you are allowing him to introduce increasingly unhinged, unfounded and desperate lies into the national conversation.”
That’s because Rudi is exposing Biden’s corruption

DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Biden is, and has been since he announced, merely a placeholder for who the powers behind the Dem party wanted as their nominee all along.
Who is that chosen one?
Last time it was Hillary so the delegate system had to be gamed with super delegates who Bernie couldn’t match no matter how many voters wanted him.
This time it might be Hillary again.
Or someone else, who knows?
I think Pres Trump’s interest in cleaning the swamp from those who made up the “collusion” story and the “Russia, Russia, Russia,” story is backward-looking to the 2016 election.
Still Biden ties in because his baby, Ukraine, looms large in that plot.
Too bad.
They were going to throw him under the bus eventually anyway.
This just moved up the timing.
Crowdstrike was centered in Ukraine.
Crowdstrike had a part in the collusion/Russia narrative against Trump.
Biden was focused on Ukraine.
Was he making it do what he wanted done?
Funny how the Dems in the House seem unconcerned about real crimes (by the Biden’s) while laser-beam focusing in on a phone call by the president with the leader of Ukraine.*
The media wants a 49-year-old son given the immunity reserved for presidential children under the age of 18.
At the same time that media targets a 16-yr-old who wore a MAGA hat while being harassed by a drumming Indian.
And that same media makes fun of Ivanka’s family, including the children for their Halloween costumes.
The hypocrisy and double standards are huge.
*Not really laser-beam focused, more of a shotgun approach:

As I recall, “Sheriff” Joe was also tapped to watch over the trillion dollar “stimulus” to make sure no greedy liberals wet their beak in that free-for-all. Boy, when Biden gets his chance to show what he is capable of, he sure does exceed expectations.

The M.S. Media always voting Democrat always urging us all to vote for the Democrats because most of the media are all Globalists and are liars and fake News reporters
joe loves porn he addicted to it. recall that joe was present in Vagus for two successive years at the adult film industry awards. he presented the best actress, whatever category, and best-supporting actress their awards. he claims that he is coing to cure cancer when elected. as an adult, you read your children’s fairy tails to your children that began as “once upon a time”. in the demorat world it begins with “if elected I will promise to do ….”
The issue I have is that much of this info, as well as the total corruption of the obozo administration, has been public knowledge for some time now. I hear of investigation after investigation on the perpetrators of the collusion plot and yet I have not seen one criminal member of the former administration arrested or charged or even had a negative article posted about them in the LSM. I will believe change is real when I see SOMETHING-even one of the IG reports or the FISA memos released-anything-that shows me action is being taken.
This is my point:
Maxine Waters.
What???
When you talk like this, you’re not serious about you job, or about the Law. Democrats lost.
@Nathan Blue: Execute some traitors (promoting false accusations for the purpose of removing a duly elected President from office is treason) and see how quickly that crap quits.
@Deplorable Me, #11:
Sure, there’s nothing wrong with that sort of thinking, is there? Maybe you should see about getting that post deleted.
@Greg: #12 No there isnt, treason, if found guilty in a court is punishable by death, When the State puts you to death its called an execution.
What was posted is not a threat to anyone.
We have seen images of Trump murdered by a gangstar, stabbed on stage and beheaded, you think the comment made is trouble? (get help brother seek help)
@Greg: Since all the treacherous trash is on your side of the ball, I can see where that would be a deterrent. It has come to that, and you can thank your media.
There is no truth closing in on Biden. There’s absolutely no evidence that either of the Bidens did anything unlawful. So says the government of Ukraine. It’s an entirely legitimate criticism that the employment of Biden’s son by Burisma looked bad. Burisma might well have hired him in hope of gaining useful influence. There’s no indication whatsoever that they actually did.
Shokin may tell a different tale, but he was removed from office for failure to investigate corruption, not to stop him from doing so. Biden promoted Shokin’s removal because it was a U.S. policy objective that he be removed. It wasn’t made a U.S. foreign policy objective as a special favor to Uncle Joe’s kid.
@Greg: Correct there is at this time no evidence of wrong doing, the optics are horrid. Im sure a full investigation will clear them both, just as it cleared President Trump.
The illusion that Biden is the real and only target totally created by the media hype. 1.8 billion dollars was skimmed by the company Joe’s son worked for, at the time the administration said they wanted it looked into, the “solid guy” never looked into it, lets begin.
Some of the origins of the Spygate saga began in Ukraine, that too must be investigated How did Russian disinformation filter through our IC, how were our allied IC dragged into what looks like the attempted coup of an American President.
The coup would have been much easier against a President Clinton, what if….
@Greg:
There absolutely is. Lots of it, including Biden’s own bragging. Now, maybe he didn’t; that can now ONLY be discerned after a through investigation. But, to deny it looks suspicious and warrants an investigation is pretty much the same as admitting he did it and you desperately want people to stop talking about it. Did Trump ever demand anyone stop talking about collusion? No, he hit back and denounced the lies, but he didn’t send letters out telling media outlets to stop allowing people to talk about the collusion hoax.
Not only is the truth closing in on Biden, but this will also apply focus to all those who lied on his behalf. It is also drawing focus on those trying to accuse Trump of doing exactly what Biden did. No, Greg… you’re not getting away with it this time.
So, we’ll use the Mueller formula for organizing the investigation. Giuliani will be the Special Investigator with full powers to subpoena and indict. He can add Gingrich, Gowdy and Trump, Jr. to his staff. Only Trump supporters/Biden haters will be included as investigators. I’m sure you’d have no problem with that, based on the precedent.
