This is important because if there is cause for a reasonable person, ie not a Democrat, to think that Biden engaged in corrupt practices in Ukraine then it's hard to see how Trump wanting to investigate that could be an abuse of power.
So here are the undisputed facts:
- Obama made Joe Biden responsible for US policy vis a vis the Ukraine
- Hunter Biden is hired by corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma
- Hunter Biden has said, on TV, that he was hired because his dad is Joe Biden
- Hunter Biden had 0 experience in the energy business and never went to the Ukraine
- Burisma paid Hunter Biden around $3.1 million, between $50K and $83K a month
- A Ukrainian prosecutor started an investigation into Burisma
- Joe Biden told the Ukraine that if that prosecutor wasn't fired he'd withhold $1B in US aid
- Joe Biden gave the Ukrainians 6 hours to comply
- The prosecutor was fired and the investigation into Burisma was dropped
- This was the only time his 8 years as VP that Biden personally caused any foreign prosecutor to be fired
Clearly if we switched Joe Biden for Trump and Hunter Biden for Trump Jr. the very same people who are saying it's absurd to think Biden is corrupt would be demanding that Trump be perp walked out of the White House in handcuffs.
Democrat's defense is that the prosecutor was corrupt and everyone wanted him fired. But what are the odds that the one time Biden used a quid pro quo to fire a corrupt foreign prosecutor that prosecutor just happened to be investigating a company that paid his son millions of dollars?
In fact prior to Biden become a Democrat Presidential candidate and prior to lying Adam Schiff trying to impeach Trump because he dared to want Biden's corruption investigated #FakeNews media companies like the Atlantic and the Washington Post had written about how the whole situation was highly troubling.
Further Ambassador Yovanovitch, a saint according to impeachment crazy Democrats, raised the issue of the problem when it was happening.
At least one other State Department official said that even if nothing wrong was going on it appeared to be corrupt which made it harder for the US to get Ukraine to clean up its act and end corruption.
Which leads to another question. At the time Joe Biden used a quid pro quo to fire the prosecutor there were many other Ukraine officials who were highly corrupt. Why did Joe only demand that the one person who was hurting Burisma, the company that gave the Bidens millions of dollars, be fired?
If Joe was on a crusade against Ukraine corruption why did it begin and end with the only person in the Ukraine who was personally impacting the Biden families wealth?
There is some tiny chance that the Biden's aren't corrupt, though the fact that the Ukraine playbook was also run by Hunter in China and the US tends to argue against that, but it's clear that no honest person could think that it would be wrong for Trump to want to investigate the matter.
Corruption in government is no small thing and allowing Biden's blatant actions to go uninvestigated could lead to more extensive corruption in our government.
