The Dims are too dumb to know they're being played. I think it was set up by the Dim Establishment to get Crazy Uncle Joe out of the race.

The hypocrisy is thick on this one.
If the Dems want to impeach Trump over this, then they must pressure Biden to drop out of the race too.
I mean, Biden was on video bragging about pulling a loan to the Ukrainian government to get them to fire a prosecutor. How is that ok?

But wtf did trump do?
Asked the Ukraine to look into it... also remember that anything Trump does is an impeachable offense in their eyes... if he got ice cream its about equal to causing the next holocaust....
Put Russian dressing on his salad.
Biden wore out his welcome, and is expendable. He is being sacrificed in order to get at Trump. Funny thing is, Trump wants him out of the race too, He likes his chances better with Warren.
It was the same with the poundmetoo movement. Al Franken, Weinstein, sacrificed to try to bring down Trump. Idiots.

I think The Donald is toying with the dims on all this leading to a day at the worst possible time to release all this treason to the public, I don't know, maybe just after the dim convention next summer. You have Uranium 1, this Ukraine / Biden 'business', and then there's this...

‘Truly shocking’: In 2015 deal, China bought dual use tech firm and made Biden’s son rich
By World Tribune on September 22, 2019
The Senate Finance Committee has announced it will investigate the Obama administration’s approval in 2015 of the sale to China of a former U.S. firm which develops dual-use technologies with military applications.
Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), a Chinese state-run military contractor, acquired Henniges Automotive with a 51 percent stake purchase. The remaining 49 percent was purchased by Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), a private equity firm founded by then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and funded with $1.5 billion from the Chinese government via the Bank of China.
“Clearly this was a Chinese effort to curry favor with the Bidens by helping make Joe Biden’s son rich,” Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute, said in a Sept. 20 interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight.
“The Chinese government works to gain political allies in the United States by striking commercial deals with the family members of powerful politicians,” said Schweizer, “and exhibit A in that — it’s not even close when you look at the amount of money and the volume of deals that took place — is with Hunter Biden, with Joe Biden’s son, while he was vice president.”
“[BHR] was buying companies that were involved in America’s high-tech sector, and companies that had dual-use technologies [with both] civilian applications and military applications,” Schweizer noted. “Henniges produces precision-tuned anti-vibration technologies.”
The Chinese government’s acquisition of Henniges “required the approval of the Obama administration” and “Hunter Biden’s help,” added Schweizer, “and lo and behold, the Obama administration gave them exactly that approval.”
Schweizer addressed the Obama administration’s approval of China’s acquisition of Henniges Automotive via the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which he described as an opaque governmental body broadly exempted from public transparency measures.
“CFIUS … is a very secretive body,” said Schweizer.”They don’t release any documents, generally. You can’t even obtain [documents pertaining to] everything they do through the Freedom of Information Act, and the rationale is, ‘Well, we’re talking about company secrets and technologies, so we don’t want to give away any of those trade secrets.’ That may apply in some cases, but generally, I think that’s just a ridiculous excuse that allows them to not be accountable for the decisions that they make. The problem with this deal is that there’s no question that this purchase of Henniges had military application.”
Schweizer summarized, “The Obama administration approved a deal where the son of the then-sitting vice president, in partnership with a Chinese government investment firm and a Chinese military contractor, purchased an American technology machine tool parts company that had military application.”
He added: “What’s truly shocking about the Hunter Biden deal with the Chinese is not just that the Chinese were helping the son of the sitting vice president get rich, it’s the fact that the vice president’s son was involved in this Henniges deal which ended up helping the Chinese military. He was involved in another deal called CGN — Chinese General Nuclear — which is a Chinese nuclear company that was implicated in spying — stealing nuclear secrets from the United States — by the FBI. Executives from that company have been arrested. These are firms that Hunter Biden’s investment firm is involved in, and Hunter Biden sits on the board of directors of this Chinese government-funded investment company. It’s truly shocking. It’s not just your run-of-the-mill cronyism and a guy getting rich because of who his dad is. These are very serious national security issues and the Bidens just, frankly looked the other way and were glad to take the money.”
“One of the basic questions we need [answered] is, was there pressure brought to bear?” asked Schweizer of CFIUS’s 2015 approval of China’s acquisition of Henniges Automotive. “Were there people connected to Biden that were involved in making that decision?’ ”
“All we know is that there apparently were no objections [at CFIUS],” said Schweizer. “If the deal would have been stopped temporarily because of a concern and had gone to the president, we would actually have public knowledge of that. That has happened a few times in the past, and I think since CFIUS was opened in 1975, I think I am correct in saying there has not been a single case of a president in effect saying, ‘Well, you object, but we’re going through with it,’ so usually if a government agency objects on some grounds, a deal is dead. There is no evidence that there were any objections in this case because there was no reporting as such.”
Schweizer continued: “It appears as if all the government agencies said, ‘We have no problem with this.’ What I think Senator Grassley wants to know is, was this just a case of nobody paying attention? In other words, people were either incompetent or just not engaged? Or was there something more nefarious? Was there public or political pressure brought to bear? Again, this is the son of the vice president. Vice President Biden was the point man on U.S. policy towards China, and his son was involved with this deal, so was there pressure brought to bear? Did the vice president [or] did people at White House reach out to people in CFIUS? That’s what I think Senator Grassley wants to know.”
“Hunter Biden and the Biden family have lied about this deal from the beginning. When Secret Empires came out last year, it was a number one New York Times bestseller. They poo-pooed it and said, ‘No, it’s not true.’ We finally got some of the mainstream media to ask them questions about this, and ABC news did exactly that, and what the Bidens did was lie about it. They said it wasn’t really that big of a deal.”
Schweizer concluded: “A guy like Joe Biden who’s been in public life for more than 30 years in government office … has to disclose a $500 campaign contribution. He has to disclose a $200 campaign contribution. He has to disclose that he owns like a $1000 in GE stock, and we have these rules because we need to know what entanglements or what relationships or connections there are between a politician like Joe Biden and his donors, so he needs to disclose that. And isn’t this good that we have this transparency? But a billion-dollar-plus deal that his adult son does with a foreign government — the Chinese government, that is our chief rival — there’s no disclosure requirement for that. None. Zip. Nada. That shows you how crazy the situation has become.”

After all the screaming about foreign interference in our elections it certainly wasn't too bright of him to be asking the Ukraine to investigate the Dem frontrunner's son at the moment. At a minimum he should have done it through other channels and not in a personal phone call. If it's true that he held up military aid until they promised to do this, that's not gonna be good for him.
Of course it appears Biden got his son a sweetheart deal that he was not even remotely qualified for on a Ukrainian oil company board while he was vice president deeply involved in Ukrainian foreign affairs, but who cares, nothing to see there.

I'd bet the investigations that the DOJ are running are hitting pretty close to home with very powerful people and this is their way of fighting back in an attempt to leverage him. I don't think he plays that game though. Great to have someone who really doesn't give a damn about their political career at the helm. Tough to influence them

If only something come of it. When the libs do something illegal or slimey, the only consequences they face are funny facebook memes. It pisses me off that they have different laws than you and I do. It's about time for some heads to roll. Can't understand why Trump isn't pushing this and other things more. Getting tired of it all.
Well the short and the long of it is ….the Mueller report didn't have what the liberals wanted so now it's a new avenue. What gets me is this so called whistleblower doesn't even have direct knowledge. What the dems are trying to say is Trump held back on $400M in foreign aid until the Ukes dug up so dirt on Biden.
and raysiss
I can't get past the fact that intelligence services were monitoring the President. Regardless of party, the OFFICE of the President should be able to talk to anyone he/she wants and say anything without being spied upon. I don't even care what the subject matter is/was. This is North Korea/commie/dictatorship type domestic spying. I'm ticked off. Can't wait to vote and I wish the election was tomorrow.

Trump is releasing the transcript of the call so apparently once again the Dems have played themselves.
The reason he didn't release it today is because the Dims are having an impeachment meeting today about this, and Sleepy Joe is going to call for his impeachment too. He's going to make them all look the fools they are. This Ukraine thing is going to take Biden out of the race, leaving one of the full blown crazy socialists as his opponent. It's all coming together nicely...
I don’t know why Sleepy Joe is pissed. This is the best thing to happen for his campaign. Now all the libs feel sorry for him.

The only reason they’re doing it is because they know he will win. Last gasp.
This was described tonight by a Dem on Tucker Carlson..........."Nancy Pelosi just launched the Titanic tonight. 2020 is the iceberg."
