Sorry, but no. What you are trying to do is re characterize his abuse of power by saying "he only used his influence to remove the prosecutor who was going after my sons "consulting" company paychecks, which would have shown a light on the Bindens (again). Besides, other countries wanted the prosecutor removed because he simply was not tough enough on crime."
You dont get to use your power to remove a foreign prosecutor who is looking into corruption because he is not to your liking, especially when he threatens your personal interests in that same country!
He did not withhold anything. Thats a media misrepsentation and left wing lie. Corruption is rampant in Ukraine. Why are we giving them miiltary aid to begin with? Let them fight their own damn war.
If you remember there was an investigation of Burisma that was called off because of pressure exerted by Vice President Biden. He did not want his son smeared even though he was on the take. If the president wanted the investigation restarted, it was ultimately up to Ukraine.
A whole bunch of politicians quit from the left and right but it was only because of the "me too" movement, not because the left wing media exposed any democrat scandals. I've been paying attention to politics a long time and know that things happen on the left and right but usually the left gets a pass because the media sympathizes with them.
One that comes to mind is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Rangel . Despite rank corruption and a House censure, he would not resign. He served for 46 years and the media did not "ride him" like they do republicans.
It is unhinged because unlike previous impeachment proceedings the democrats are trying something different this time. They are doing everything in secret, and even Schiff had to put on a comical performance of Trumps phone call to make some sort of point. If thats not Saturday Night Live while masquerading as an impeachment, I dont know what is. Furthermore, since there has been no full vote in the House (as has been done in the past) to undertake an impeachment inquiry and its being done behind closed doors it is nothing more than a circus show.
Regarding Bill Clinton, he was impeached for lying under oath during a deposition in a civil trial. Thats called perjury. He was fined and lost his law license as a result. .....and all you could focus on was a blowjob?
Okay, lets say what you are saying is correct, that it was on done on behalf of US policy and was also done before Hunter was employed. If you had more than 3 brain cells, and did not have a taste for corruption, wouldn't you tell your son NOT to get a job at a company for $600,000 per year that benefited from your own actions as Vice President?
That sure as hell looks like a payoff to me.

As to hunters character, well I for one won't be voting for him anytime soon.
no, you're repeating a talking point originating on dumb right wing media that he's not qualified because he doesn't know oil and gas.I am stating an opinion based on observable fact.

If Trump is so "great". The bestest, Tremendous President ever, why does he even need bogus dirt on Joe Biden. Why doesn't he just run in all of his wonderful accomplishments and leadership skills alone. He should just mop the floor with Biden straight up. Right?
Hunter already acknowledged that he most likely got the job due to who is father is. Liberals like to talk about privilege. Here is a perfect opportunity to check it. Not sure why you’re so vested in making excuses for him.no, you're repeating a talking point originating on dumb right wing media that he's not qualified because he doesn't know oil and gas.
again, you don't need to know the specific industry to bring value to a company. knowing corporate governance is valuable, and he surely knew corporate governance. he's not some new grad from some for profit 13th grade biz school.

Those are all legitimate criticism against Trump. Hard for Biden to criticize Trump on nepotism at this point.The people planning on voting for the guy who installed his handbag designer daughter and colossal real estate failure son in law in senior positions in the federal government overseeing foreign policy want you to know they are very concerned about the corrosive effects of nepotism.
Similarly the GOP chairwoman (Mitt Romney’s niece) and Donald Trump Jr. have both tweeted about how bad it is that Hunter Biden may have traded off his family name.
The bad faith is just bottomless with these people.
It’s a legitimate concern. Trump effectively neutralized the Access Hollywood tape by bringing Bill Clinton’s accusers to a debate. He can similarly neutralize any narrative around cronyism when, at least in the case of Biden, his son is swimming in the same pool.No one is making excuses for it, we are just pointing out the obvious fact that you’re concern trolling.
That’s because I enter the conversation already accepting that Trump is an order of magnitude more egregious, but that Trump exists because for decades we’ve rationalized and excused the Hunter Bidens of the world.The world has existed in a similar way for our entire lives. There are current examples that are orders of magnitude more egregious than anything here currently working in the federal government and yet nothing from you.
You perceive the accusations against Kavanaugh as credible. I see them as politically opportunistic. I see the accusations against Biden are politically opportunistic as well. Both situations are indicative of the underlying sickness in our government.Currently there are tons of smears against the Bidens that are not just groundless but actively disproven yet I’ve seen none of the outrage you displayed about actually credible accusations against Brett Kavanaugh.
bullshit. there is no evidence that hunter got the job because his father pulled strings to get him the job, which is what nepotism is. did he make the short list because of his family? yes, most likely. but that doesn't mean he's not qualified and it doesn't mean the elder biden did anything to promote him.Hard for Biden to criticize Trump on nepotism at this point.

Well the CNN moderators felt it was relevant because it came up in the debate last night, and John Kerry’s stepson advised against Burisma. Hunter admitted Burisma as an error in judgment.bullshit. there is no evidence that hunter got the job because his father pulled strings to get him the job, which is what nepotism is. did he make the short list because of his family? yes, most likely. but that doesn't mean he's not qualified and it doesn't mean the elder biden did anything to promote him.
"The practice among those with power or influence of favouring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs."
you have no evidence that that happened, and you and the rest of the right wing constantly moves the goal posts on this. all you have is innuendo and logical fallacies. no evidence. no argument.

The goal posts are firmly in place.
Biden is exonerated of any charge of corruption related to influencing Ukranian investigations. His son is a liability at a time when most Americans are eager to shine a light on cronyism.Not exactly. The GOP claim is that Joe had the prosecutor fired to protect his son from a corruption investigation, which is bullshit. He wasn't on the board during the time the alleged corruption occurred. Ukraine investigated anyway & the owner of Burisma is back home in Ukraine sipping champagne on his veranda. That means it's impossible for Hunter to be guilty of anything other than poor judgement. It's not like he's running for office, anyway.
