Thanksgiving news made me wonder if the entire impeachment farce is just intended to deflect attention from what is actually being disclosed.
Think about it.
Hunter Biden, Joe's son, got hired by Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma to be a member of the board of directors. Hunter had no knowledge, training or indeed any qualifications for the post. He didn't even speak Ukrainian. Even so, he was paid twice what directors of the world's biggest energy company Exxon Mobil get paid and Hunter did essentially nothing. Imagine getting a job that paid $1,100,000 per year for doing nothing.
Burisma was under investigation by the Ukrainian government prosecutor for corruption. Shortly after Burisma hired Hunter, Burisma's lawyers approached the US State Department and asked them for help to quash the investigation by the Ukrainian prosecutor. After all, the Burisma lawyers said, Hunter Biden is on our board and that could be embarrassing if the company got indicted.
Just a few weeks after that, Joe Biden himeself gave the Ukrainian government an ultimatum. Biden told them to fire the state prosecutor looking into Burisma or all US aid to Ukraine would be cut off. The Ukrainians complied.
That is a sordid tale of corruption, and it is one that surely would be investigated in normal times. Instead, however, the Democrats and the media have painted it as one for which there is "no evidence" (a total lie) and one that is done just to hurt Joe Biden's chances in the presidential race. Indeed, when President Trump mentioned it to the president of Ukraine, the Dems jumped to accuse him of wrongdoing and to start the impeachment charade.
But are the Dems and the media just protecting Joe Biden? It seems unlikely.
We just learned that at least two of the staff of Adam Schiff (the head of the impeachment investigation) also have financial connections with Burisma. It would be bizarre that one staffer had a financial connection to a Ukrainian natural gas company. That two have such connections is beyond bizarre and into the realm of a smoking gun.
But there's more. We know that when the Democrats email was given to Wikileaks and then released, the computer system was never examined by the US government to see if the ID of the hacker could be determined. Instead, the FBI took the word of the Democrats IT company. It's amazing that the FBI would let such crucial evidence be withheld by the Democrats. We also know that there are indications that the Democrats IT company has strong ties to Ukraine. Indeed, it may well be that the hackers in 2016 weren't Russian but rather Ukrainian. That would be a major embarrassment for the Dems and the FBI (or the swamp in this case.) This is the actual subject that Trump raised with the Ukrainian president in the phone call at the center of the impeachment inquiry.
Did the impeachment inquiry come about because the Trump team was getting too close to the truth regarding the ties between Ukrainian oligarchs and the Dems? Was poor Hunter Biden (actually rich Hunter Biden) just a conduit between the oligarchs and the Dems of the Obama administration (like Biden)?
Think about Hunter Biden for a second. This morning's New York Post had an article discussing how employees at a New York City "strip club" warned Hunter to stop using drugs on the premises. Then Hunter Biden sent some employees out to buy a sex toy so that the strippers could use it on him. This is hardly what one would expect of a prominent director of Ukraine's largest energy company.
There's much more, but this is enough to understand that the Democrat corruption scandal is immense. It seems that the Dems are following the maxim that the best defense is a good offense. Still, Trump will survive and we will soon know how successful the Dems have been at deflecting their corrupt activities from affecting the public's view of them.
