Ukraine conflict

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

Hunter Biden says he smoked crack every fifteen minutes after his brother Beau died (2015); he served on the board at Burisma Holding s during that time.

Sure, who wouldn't want to keep an out of control crack smoking idiot who knows zero about your business on your board of directors?

Sure,Ukraine is corrupt, but they're not THAT stupid.

But hey, I could be misreading the tea leaves on this one; maybe this has been so politicized that I cannot grasp the truth and rely instead on preconceived notions.

You have absolutely no idea what Biden has done behind the scenes to hinder the investigation. They have actual solid proof that Biden runs a crime family they never had any proof on Trump that he did anything wrong. Just because you're not seeing it reported in the news you think Biden is doing nothing. That's exactly what the media wants you to think and of course you play right along. Everything on the laptop is not a fantasy, it's not made up by the Russians. Get with the program.

Federal prosecutors’ investigation into Hunter Biden is heating up and the indictment of the president’s son is a real possibility, a recent series of reports suggests.

The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and the Associated Press have all published stories in recent weeks with a similar theme: the investigation, run by the US attorney’s office in Delaware, has gotten increasingly active, with witnesses testifying to a grand jury.

The investigation focuses on Hunter Biden’s well-compensated work for foreign interests over the past decade or so, particularly for businesses or tycoons in Ukraine, China, and Kazakhstan. The main legal questions appear to be whether Hunter violated tax laws, committed money laundering, or acted as an unregistered foreign lobbyist.

Ethical questions have long swirled about Hunter’s foreign consulting and investment work, which he began as his father was set to become vice president and continued amid tumultuous years for Hunter and the Biden family. Critics have argued he was at the very least trading on his father’s name, or that foreign interests were paying him exorbitantly in hopes of pleasing his father.President Trump became obsessed with all this as Joe Biden prepared to challenge him for reelection, and Trump’s allies have tried hard to make charges of Hunter’s purported corruption stick to Joe — so far without success.

But prosecutors’ inquiry into Hunter reportedly dates back in some form to the Obama administration. Recent stories reference some doubts and differing opinions from investigators about the strength of the case, so it’s not a certainty that he’ll be indicted. And by all accounts, the investigation is focused on Hunter Biden, not Joe Biden.

Oh, so the Chernobyl disaster was "not terrible?"

Was that a typo or do you hate Ukrainians?
