Bondi rips apart Biden corruption

Pam Bondi, in a methodical presentation Monday at President Trump's Senate impeachment trial, took the fight directly to Hunter Biden -- underscoring, again and again, how even media outlets with a left-wing "bias" questioned the younger Biden's lucrative service on the board of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings while his father oversaw Ukraine policy as vice president.

A 2014 Washington Post report, Bondi noted, asserted that the "appointment of the vice president's son to a Ukrainian oil board looks nepotistic at best, nefarious at worst."

A 2014 Buzzfeed News article stated that the "serious conflict of interest questions" were raised by Biden's appointment.

A June 2019 ABC News report called it "strange" that Burisma, which was widely accused of corruption, had agreed to pay Hunter Biden's company "more than a million dollars a year," just after Biden was kicked out of the Navy allegedly for cocaine possession.

Her point-by-point argument came on the second day of Republican arguments, which also emphasized that Trump was not accused of any defined criminal offense and that removal from office would be an undemocratic and drastic remedy. Fox News has been told that Trump's team is likely to wrap up its defense Tuesday, possibly kicking off the written question phase of the trial at that time.

It was little doubt given all the media attention, Bondi went on, that career State Department official George Kent flagged Biden's apparent conflict of interest, but was told essentially not to bother the vice president's office -- or that the Obama administration had prepped former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch for questions about Burisma ahead of her Senate confirmation.
 
Hunter Biden was paid over $83,000 a month, while the average American family of four during that time each year made less than $54,000," Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, said.

In his own remarks to the Senate, Trump lawyer Eric Herschmann argued that Burisma couldn't even get its story straight concerning Biden's duties.

In a May 2014 Burisma news release, the company claimed Biden would head up the country's "legal unit," Herschmann observed. "But, on October 13, 2019, Biden's lawyer said that 'at no time' was he in charge of Burisma's legal affairs."

Even Hunter has admitted, speaking to ABC News, that he "probably" would not have been on the board of Burisma if he were not the vice president's son, Bondi noted.

Bondi and Herschmann were arguing that Trump did nothing wrong when, in a July call with Ukraine's leader, he called for the country to look into Joe Biden's on-camera admission that he successfully pressured Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor by withholding $1 billion in U.S. assistance to Ukraine.
What Biden didn't reveal, Bondi said, was that the prosecutor was investigating Burisma at the time -- or that Hunter Biden was serving in a highly lucrative role on Burisma's board.

The Trump team's argument heartened Republicans both inside and outside the Senate chamber.

"Pam Bondi is on the Senate floor nailing Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and the Obama White House for their role in/handling of Ukrainian corruption," North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows tweeted. "If it wasn’t obvious already... President Trump was right to press for reform" in Ukraine, he wrote.

In a heated news conference, Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said the proceedings had offered just the "beginning" of "serious evidence of corruption" involving Burisma. Reporters repeatedly interrupted Cruz, and at one point a questioner suggested that Cruz's children had also benefited from nepotism in obtaining lucrative board roles -- even though they're in elementary school.

Also speaking on behalf of the president, Ken Starr, whose independent counsel investigation into then-President Bill Clinton resulted in his impeachment, bemoaned what he called an “age of impeachment." Impeachment, he said, required both an actual crime and a “genuine national consensus" that the president must go. Neither existed here, Starr said.

"It's filled with acrimony and it divides the country like nothing else," Starr said of impeachment. "Those of us who lived through the Clinton impeachment understand that in a deep and personal way."

Trump's team further challenged Democrats' claims that Trump's fears of Ukraine meddling were a "conspiracy theory" -- noting that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., had spent years accusing the Trump team of colluding with Russia without any evidence.

Although Democrats -- and some news outlets, including The Associated Press -- repeatedly claimed that the idea of Ukraine meddling was a "conspiracy theory," a Ukrainian court has ruled that officials in the country did illegally meddle in the U.S. election. Additionally, a 2017 investigative report by Politico found extensive efforts by Ukrainians to hurt Trump's presidential campaign.

what does that even mean? speak English.
It showed Hunter was corrupt, and Joe was enabling the corruption; hence Trump's call to look at Biden was legit

Bondi put on a step by step timeline of Biden corruption
 
Be polite, dukkha, if you want it in return. You do not know that Hunter was corrupt, because the actual facts do not support it. More importantly Trump wanted an investigation for his own political needs, of which he has so many. His re-election bid is crumbling, and now Bolton's latest revelation is putting the screws to Trump. It was perfect screw.

No, she did not. She implied things and derived other evidence-free. There was nothing new except presenting it in a Trump impeachment trial. It was way out of place. Hunter better check his pay stubs. he went from making 50 K a month to 83.
What was Biden's corruption? Be specific. He took a lobbying job that Busisma offered him. What is that crime? He committed the crime of accepting a job. How many years does he face for that?

I am polite,but it doesn't mean I have to suffer fools lightly.
her presentation was NOTHING BUT FACTS ( unlike Shiff's who relies on implied intent) .

I don't expect you to get it even when it's written as points in the OP and all she did was cite source
after source that Hunter was appointed to run interference for Burisma.

It takes a lot of plastic surgery for a 54 year old to look that young.

I do not judge my politicians on how hot they are. I am happy with old, ugly politicians.

It’s funny, all the bots on Twitter are using the same imaging of Bondi blowing things up. Bondi is now making $115,000 a month being a lobbyist for Qatar. Why does this not surprise me. She is hardly the person to condemn Biden.
