"Biden, a trained lawyer, had served on the board of a U.S. company and had also formed an investment firm with fellow Yale graduates Archer and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of former U.S. Senator John Kerry.

According to four sources close to the company, Biden regularly attended Burisma’s twice annual board meetings – all of which were held outside of Ukraine.

A source close to the company said Biden took part in strategic conversations and shared his opinions and experience. In between board meetings, “there were constant calls, dialogue, sharing of advice, consideration of different options,” the source said. “Expansion to other markets was also discussed,” the source added."


It seems hard to find the truth when people have already made up their minds.

If this trend of appointing unqualified people continues, next thing you know, people are going to start putting surgeons in charge of housing, pseudoscience investors in charge of education, and realtors/developers in charge of countries.

Well, at least it is in the open here and we have a SOP and vetting process with the different branches of goverment, and are vetted by the Senate (which is not saying much), it is very partisan...

All I am seeing here is excuses as to why their should not be a investigation into the Bidens, when there is so much evidence.

Stuess, your a sensible person...do you not see enough stink here to warrant an investigation into this...if not why? Do really believe he was given millions because his mobster boss thought he could help the company in everyday business?

One thing I appreciate about libertarian thought is, why do we give these corrupt nations so much money? I understand there are many valid reasons for it, mainly for protecting our interests and national security...but it is really foolish in so many ways in that the money never seems to go where it is suppose to, and just feed corruption.

...Joe Biden had a check book account of 3 Billion, did I say THREE BILLION dollars to write checks to the Ukraine.

You're really taken by the whole billion/billionaire thing, aren't you, Markk?

It’s as if he never bothered to research what the aid package was, how it was authorized and it’s disbursement plan, and the actual total of monies (as opposed to the fake figures he is parroting here).

What an interesting question. Why didn’t Trump ask the DoJ to investigate the Bidens? : D

Do you just read that and believe he is above reproach based on a paragraph of a brief description of his job description? Even after hearing him say the only reason he got the job was becasue of his name, and knowing his boss was and is a mobster?

Taking that paragraph alone, given all the evidence otherwise...is like taking on the nature of Kay after asking Michael if he killed Carlo... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig6XntgHMe4

But you are right, mind are made up this guy is innocent, I would like to see a investigation based on broken down evidence...

Markk,

Given your stated reasons, why didn’t Trump order the DoJ to investigate the Bidens?

Do you just read that, ignore it all, and simply claim ‘corruption’ because you don’t like his dad?

That’s not even the question. The actual question is, Why didn’t Trump ask the DoJ to investigate the Bidens..?

Okay you through some links out there...now expound on them and show me how much money went to energy and specifically Burisma?

The U.S. government is working with other international donors to help Ukraine develop strategies to ensure that energy subsidy programs are targeting the most vulnerable Ukrainians and to increase end-use energy efficiency, including among households and in the industrial sector. A new program will accelerate new investments in energy efficiency.
We are supporting Ukrainian efforts to enhance its own energy production, including through technical assistance to help restructure Ukraine’s national oil and gas company, Naftogaz, and through the introduction of new technologies to boost outputs from existing and new conventional gas fields in Ukraine.
In collaboration with other experts, U.S. government advisors are providing technical assistance to the Government of Ukraine to develop a national energy contingency plan for this winter and into 2

Do you think this supports...what? It reads exactly what I said, the Ukraine received money from foreign donors, and the US in energy subsidy programs...lol...do you even read before you post this stuff?

We know that Billions was earmarked and approved, 1 billion in 2014 alone...were did all that money go? The foreign donors gave much more.
