And then that VP threats to withhold $1 billion in US aid unless the Prosecutor, investigating the company his son is being paid by, is fired.
Don’t belive it? Watch for yourself
If Biden is the democratic nominee for President, how many times do you think President Trump will have this in his campaign ads???
Wonder if the TV networks will take the money and play or refuse it???
You know, what is actually even more disturbing and worrisome for the USA than Joe Biden coercing the firing of the Ukraine Prosecutor General, is that Biden apparently has no self-awareness of his wrongdoing in the past and no governor on his mouth.
If something comes into his head, on the spur-of-the-moment, that might benefit him momentarily, regardless of what damage it might do elsewhere, it spews out his mouth. For example in this case, he was being queried about how his Vice-Presidential experience translated into being good a good foreign affairs negotiator. The first thing he came up with was the to show what a great negotiator he was, was the blackmailing of Ukraine to fire their equivalent of their Attorney General to get a Billion Dollars in Loan Guarantees while they were under invasion by the Russians and grabbing Crimea. Say what?! International blackmail?!
That is NOT what a potential future President should be exposing in a public venue about how the United States conducts foreign negotiations with an ally who is under attack by an invader. Really, the firing of a possibly corrupt internal public official is more important to the security of the US and the region than one billion dollars in military aid? You’ve got to be kidding. What kind of messaging does that give to all of our other allies?
Even if such tactics were sanctioned at the highest levels and approved by the other allies, which I highly doubt, they should remain classified, not spouted before reporters in front of video cameras! What else might a foot-in-mouth Biden un-artfully reveal that should be kept inside the vest the next time a reporter asks a carefully crafted question? The man is a walking, talking disaster area.
