Trump Administration Whistleblower Cover-Up

[Mountain Man]

The Conservative Treehouse is a hyperpartisan source, and as such, their condemnations can only be relied upon to identify sources which are not similarly hyperpartisan. In this instance, its bizarre accusations provide only the limited utility of highlighting fringe conspiracy theories.

In this instance, in particular, rather than reading about Lawfare from a debased source, I believe you would be better served by reading Lawfare itself.

What the Latest Reports Say About the Whistleblower Complaint

If the speculation is accurate, the actions by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence may have a firmer legal foundation than has so far been apparent.

Bio sketch:

Robert Litt formerly served as the General Counsel to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence under the Obama administration.

Which sounds more compelling to you, and indeed more supportive of your position, a defense of the ODNI withholding from the prior GC under Obama, or a hyperpartisan screed telling you not to pay attention to him?

You're right, I'm sure it's just a coincidence that members of Lawfare are exclusively liberal and have been hired by and work closely with members of the Democrat party to push their liberal agenda through backroom deals instead of openly in the halls of government.

As for the "whistleblower", it seems whoever blew the whistle didn't have the whole story. He allegedly heard one conversation between President Trump and the Ukrainian president but apparently didn't realize that it was, in fact, the final push of a two-year effort by Ukraine to get the US government to finally look into the possibly illegal activities of Creepy Joe and the Democrat party.

The company, (Burisma), to which Hunter Biden was a board member was being investigated, not Hunter Biden himself, and there is no evidence that Hunter Biden was guilty of anything or that he was personally being investigated...

Why do you think Hunter Biden was asked to be a board member? What special knowledge or expertise did he have? What could he contribute to the board?

What I think or you think is irrelevant to the issue. I don't know anything about Hunter Biden, his education or background. The point is he wasn't being investigated, the company he was employed at was and the investigation was apparently shelved before the Obama administration even threatened to withhold aid. What do you have on Hunter Biden, anything? I didn't think so!

And for $50,000 a month, which was nearly a third of the overall fee paid to his firm!

Actually....

usually more than $166,000 a month

The company, (Burisma), to which Hunter Biden was a board member was being investigated, not Hunter Biden himself, and there is no evidence that Hunter Biden was guilty of anything or that he was personally being investigated. It is also reported that the investigation into Burisma itself was shelved before Biden even made the threat on behalf of the Obama administration to withhold the financial aid. Problem is, you got nothing, MM, but more obfuscation from the Trump mob.

And yet the Ukrainian government thought the whole thing sketchy enough that they have been trying for two-years to get the US government to look into it, even taking the extraordinary step of hiring a private lawyer from the US to hand deliver documents and evidence to federal prosecutors!

Yes, that was to Hunter's firm out of which Hunter himself was paid a whopping $50,000 a month.

So, the question remains -- would Bursima have even accepted a resume from Hunter Biden if his dad wasn't VPOTUS? Not a snowball's chance in the hot place.

But this is the kind of filthy corruption the liberals can excuse, or, like in Jimmy's case, even defend!

Ah.... so he was living in relative poverty.

[JimL]

And pray tell, what does what Hunter Biden was paid have to do with anything?

[Cow Poke]

First off Biden was VP and didn't have the authority to do what you suggested he did for the reason you think he did.

False.

a very corrupt organization headed by an oligarch named Mykola Zlochevsky who is very close to Viktor Yanukovich, the pro-Russian leader.

As to your ignorant ramblings about "this is Ukraine, not Russia"....

If anything, he says, it was the Bidens and the Clintons conspiring with foreign governments, Russia included.

[Cow Poke]

And pray tell, what does what Hunter Biden was paid have to do with anything?

Laughing. It's not just "what he was paid", but WHY he was paid it, Jimmy. They were buying the influence of his father -- Hunter had ZERO experience or expertise to serve on that board. That's the "corruption" you pretend to hate.

Hunter Biden was a partner and co-founder of his own company, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC. How do you know who would and who wouldn't do business with them?

Wow. You are GULPING the koolaid!

[Cow Poke]

And this....



Again I ask, Jimmy, what was Hunter Biden's qualification for he and his buddy to be getting boatloads of money for.... what? You can't produce a SINGLE REASON showing they were qualified, which is why you play this ignorant game....

Two words... Core Ruption.
