GWU law professor Jonathan Turley comments on the "taunting" response from the Biden White House to Congressional Republicans' impeachment inquiry regarding the overseas business, this week on the "FOX News Sunday" panel.
"The president stands contradicted. I mean, he clearly lied when he said he had no knowledge of his son's business dealings. He was also clearly aware of and influence-peddling scheme and was the focus of it," Turley said. "What the Democrats have done successfully is create this false narrative he has to receive money directly for this to be corruption or bribery."
JONATHAN TURLEY: I thought was quite shocking to see the level of taunting of the House. This was one of the most important things that the Congress and the president could be involved in, an impeachment inquiry. And actually, when I testified in the Biden impeachment hearing I noted that [WH counsel's office spokesman Ian] Sams and others might be tripping some wires here. This is what got the Nixon White House in trouble, when the White House counsel and other offices got involved in the narrative.
There are serious questions here. There are 10 questions presented here. But he does not appear to answer them.
But the president stands contradicted. I mean, he clearly lied when he said he had no knowledge of his son's business dealings. He was also clearly aware of and influence-peddling scheme and was the focus of it. But what the Democrats have done successfully is create this false narrative that he has to receive money directly for this to be corruption or bribery. Federal courts have rejected that. They have said repeatedly that money going to family members is corruption.

But are they going to answer these questions? No, the president would rather drink molten lead and answer any one of these questions. Should he? Of course, he should, because he stands contradicted and the public has a right to know. Hunter Biden's former business partner Tony Bobulinski accused Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin and Dan Goldman of lying on behalf of the Bidens at a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday. The full hearing (ongoing as of publication of this clip) is available below

When MTG filed articles of impeachment the day Republicans took back the House, that was a signal to everyone that this is not a serious inquiry, House Republicans don't actually care what happened, and the entire thing is just a farce to generate negative headlines on Republican friendly websites for Biden. Maybe if they focused on actually investigating accusations of wrongdoing instead of running with every 'gotcha' they come across, real or imagined, so they can go on Fox and OANN and howl about corruption, people would take the inquiry more seriously.

>What do you mean just a farse? I mean whether or not Biden committed any crime was irrelevant and the purpose was never anything more than producing negative headlines for him and creating a narrative of "See? Biden got impeached too!" to make Trump's impeachments seem less significant. Ironically, by having this mentality, they've seen to it that any real malfeasance by Biden will be ignored. Think "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
>Remember the emails where "pedo pete" got 10% for the big guy? I remember the supposed screenshot that was going around from Hunter's phone listing "Pedo Pete" as a contact had "Dad" as a contact as well, meaning even if it was real it wasn't Joe.

Also, in point of fact, the funds weren't withheld.
Also also, in point of fact, Biden issued the threat at the behest of Obama's state department, and the VP, as a an officer of the executive, is empowered/allowed to perform tasks for the president. They're basically considered an executive gopher when they aren't passing the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, which is virtually all the time. If they weren't, they'd have fuck all to do. There's a reason it was traditionally considered like the weakest job you could pigeonhole someone into to kill their career for much of our history. The VP is a goddamn errand boy/girl.

>>1283973 >Oh look he did No. He didn't. The investigation was into the owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, using his position in government to illegally funnel government contracts to Burisma. Mykola Zlochevsky stopped being the Ukraine's Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources April 20th, 2012, and was out of government completely by February 26th, 2014. Hunter Biden started at Burisma May 12, 2014.
There was zero fucking overlap between when the investigation was targeting and when Hunter worked there.
You're deliberately conflating when the investigation was open and when it was targeting to make Hunter look involved which is on the level of saying someone should be a bank robbery suspect because they patronized the bank the next month. Fucking lying sack of shit.

Do you not realize that an investigation is not a point in time thing, but long running? Yes, it was active for more than a year and a half.
>Ukraine fucking convicted Mykola Zlochevsky just last god damn year under the fucking Biden presidency while Ukraine is entirely dependent on US aid, you dumbshit lunatic. So justice was delayed nearly a decade after the original prosecutor was fired? Sounds like Mykola Zlochevsky made a good choice bringing on hunter biden

>>1284194 >Do you not realize that an investigation is not a point in time thing, but long running? It isn't actually. Burisma was subject to 17 separate criminal investigations by Ukraine over the past few years with them popping up and closing all the time.
Also, how the fuck was a US VP supposed to fucking shield a corrupt Ukrainian businessman (who fled to fucking Russia a few months after Hunter was hired and was there when Biden made his statement) from prosecution?
Would you go to Kamala for jack shit?
>So justice was delayed nearly a decade after the original prosecutor was fired? He wasn't the original prosecutor. He was the third prosecutor just for that case. Why didn't Biden interfere in the other 16? Why didn't he get the other prosecutors fired?
Seriously, you have no idea what was going on in Ukraine, no idea how US politics work, and no understanding of the material facts of the investigations. Hiring a US VP's son did not and could not make the Burisma owner's problems go away.
