Sometimes I wonder why he is even a Democrat. I mean, I'm all for a big tent but damn. Another theory is that he's just saying that because he knows that Republicans don't actually want Hunter Biden testifying. Hunter would testify and would be basically exonerated. Bolton's testimony would lead to proving Trump guilty even moreso. I'm a little nervous about Hunter being called to testify though, because the Biden family seems intent on him not testifying and going along with "Trump's game", so he may defy a subpoena which would not look good.

Titans279 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Testifying would probably be worse. Even if it's not illegal most people don't approve of what Hunter Biden did. oldschool, and Mythos27 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stating that it was a mistake due to appearances, but that there was no corruption, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that it's ethical to offer a position to someone completely unqualified to try to buy influence from a powerful politician, or to accept such an offer?

Yeah, and knocked up a lady in Arkansas and refused to pay child support, while being spotted jetting around Beverly Hills in a quarter million dollar Porsche last week, and renting a house in Hollywood that costs 12k per month. He ran off to Austrailia after his brother died and then came back married to an Austrailian model. Was a Washington lobbyist for the banking industry for a good while before going off to profit in foreign countries using his last name. In addition to being a crack addict of course and being spotted in some club with a bunch of prostitutes doing crack in the back mere months ago. Guy is a dead beat. Why do you think Joe was estranged from Hunter for such a long time? They weren't on speaking terms for years. Edited January 29, 2020 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there is proof Joe used his position geto Hunter a job on the board there is nothing to see here. Deadbeats, great term for Hunter, use their family names to get ahead all the time. Should that sink Joe's campaign or lessen the crimes Trump committed? of course not. Titans279, and ChemEngr79 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 The better defense of Biden is that he can't control what his deadbeat, piece of shit son does but it seems like he'd never say anything negative about him OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden actually didn't even know about it until after the fact, so no he didn't use influence to get him the position - which is the whole point. Hunter was leveraging his last name for financial gain, outside of the purview of Joe Biden. Joe Biden then took an action against a corrupt prosecutor who had cleared his son, in Shokin, which was literally harmful to his son's/Burisma's interests.
