Socialist Democrats go into damage control mode over Bidens under-qualified and overpaid son.

[Twilight Hue]

Suspicious and sleazy in wake of impeachment proceedings so far. ..

A Ukraine gas company tied to Joe Biden's son is at the center of Trump's impeachment

This is enough to open up a probe of its own.

LOL! I think somebody didn't read the article that they linked to in the OP.

• A Ukrainian gas company with ties to former Vice President Joe Biden's son has repeatedly been mentioned in relation to President Donald Trump's impeachment.
  
• During a July 25 phone call, Trump urged Ukraine's president to launch investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, as well as a debunked conspiracy theory related to 2016.
  
• Trump wanted Ukraine to launch an investigation into Hunter's work for Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company.
  
• Hunter began working for Burisma in 2014. This was around the same time the former vice president was spearheading the Obama administration's efforts to pressure Ukraine to root out corruption.
  
• Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani have suggested, without evidence, that Biden improperly pressured Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who had at one point been investigating Burisma Holdings.
  
• Though some ethics watchdogs have criticized Hunter's decision to work for Burisma in light of who his father is, there's no evidence of wrongdoing or illegal activity on his part or the former vice president's.
  
• And there's nothing concrete to support the suggestion Biden pressured Ukraine to take actions to the benefit of his son.
  
• With the Senate impeachment trial underway, Trump's defense team has continued to suggest the Bidens were guilty of corruption in Ukraine despite a lack of evidence.

That's because you're reading the socialist Democrats damage control spiff hence my OP title.

Moreover, neither the word "socialist" nor "democrat" is even mentioned in the article linked to in the OP.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Here's Reuters which explains both sides of the issue at hand, for which I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more about as the impeachment circus continues on with its performance.

It's called putting light on the roaches. Bushido style.

Think of it is a personal service that I'm more than happy to provide.

Are you a Trump-supporting Russian troll? Socialist Democrats aren't left-center.

Don't forget comrade Bernie boy and AOC. Hardcore socialists inkarnate.

No. Left of center are blue dog Democrats, a party I actually have some respect for although I may not agree with them naturally on a number of things.

I wonder where they went?

Yikes! According to Reuters:

• During his time on the board of one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Hunter Biden, the son of former U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden, was regarded as a helpful non-executive director with a powerful name, according to people familiar with Biden’s role at the company.
  • "An American regarded as a helpful non-executive director with a powerful name'. Sure sounds awfully "criminal" to me.
• Biden’s role at Burisma Holdings Ltd has come under intense scrutiny following unsupported accusations by U.S. President Donald Trump that Joe Biden improperly tried to help his son’s business interests in Ukraine.
  • "Unsupported accusations by ... Trump". How unusual!!! LOL!
• Giuliani has alleged, without providing evidence, that Joe Biden pushed for the firing of Ukraine’s top prosecutor to end an investigation into Burisma and Zlochevsky in order to protect his son.
  • Ahhh yes, Tweedle-Dumb ain't got no evidence either. What else is new?
• In an interview with Reuters in September, former Ukraine prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko said Hunter Biden’s position on the board when his father was vice-president raised no red flags. “From the point of view of Ukrainian law, (Hunter Biden) didn’t violate anything,” Lutsenko said.
  • Hey! somebody just put water on the bomb fuse. LOL!

Looks to me like there's no meat on the bones, here.

Nah, ... But my nephew wants to know if you have any pictures in your desk of Trump and any of the 17 women who have accused him "of varying inappropriate behavior, including allegations of sexual harassment or sexual assault, all but one coming forward with their accusations before or during his bid for the White House." List of Trump's accusers and their allegations of sexual misconduct

Don't forget that atleast one accuser has said that when she was 13 Epstien set her up with Trump; the two were good buddies.

This is enough to open up a probe of its own.

In addition to post #2 which pointed out there is no evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens ...

... For the sake of argument, let's say you are right. This was enough to open a probe.

Why then, was it necessary to smear a US ambassador, illegally withhold aid, and then try to cover it up? Why not just open a probe?

We are certainly going to find out. Same bat time same bat channel.

Pretty weak evidence, but, I would be fine with a probe of Biden to clear up the matter.

If having unqualified, over-paid children was a crime, Trump would have more than three articles of impeachment.

Confessing to leading the West's efforts to pressure Ukraine to fire Viktor Shokin?

Not much of a confession, given this: Trump ad misleads about Biden, Ukraine and the prosecutor

Having said that, I still would be fine with a probe into Biden. Why doesn't Trump's justice department launch one?
