Senators clashed over Hunter Biden probe in classified briefing
Politico via Yahoo ^ | 4/03/20 | Andrew Desiderio, Betsy Woodruff Swan

A key Senate committee is vowing to press forward with its investigation targeting former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, despite logistical challenges posed by the global coronavirus pandemic.

The probe, which Democrats vigorously oppose, has fueled tension among the Senate’s ranks, even breaking out into a rare and previously unreported verbal altercation between senators during a classified briefing.

**SNIP**

Democrats have said the investigation targeting Hunter Biden threatens the integrity of the 2020 election and undermines U.S. national security, saying it could aid Russian intelligence.

The briefing also featured several back-and-forth interactions between senators, which is highly unusual for a top-secret briefing of this nature, according to a person briefed on it. Johnson engaged directly with some of his colleagues, added the person, who called it “combative” and “personal.” Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), who sits on the Homeland Security Committee, and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) were among the senators who expressed concern during the briefing about the Senate’s continued pursuit of the Burisma allegations, sources said.

“Sen. Tester expressed concern over the reliance on reportedly untrustworthy foreign nationals and cautioned his colleagues against playing politics with national security,” said a spokeswoman for Tester.

They have to protect their phony-balony jobs as the movie line goes.

So exactly what level of security clearance did Hunter Biden have? And why?

If he didn’t have one, then what justifies holding a closed hearing?

” the investigation targeting Hunter Biden threatens the integrity of the 2020 election and undermines U.S. national security, saying it could aid Russian intelligence. “

In other words he’s guilty and probably the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree.

Just get some of Diane Fienstien's NyQuil and have a pressure afterwards - oops did I say that must have been the drugs I'm taking for the Chinese virus said Senator Paul moments would just flow. Fun to dream now back to target practice.

We should use DiFi's special blend at gitmo

Maybe it’s time to open up the info drawer on all of the kids of present and past Senators, and discuss their stock purchases and jobs.

Pompeo says he knows which Governors are on the take from the Chinese so extend that to Senators and Congress critters and while you’re about it check ‘em all for drug cartel ties. Clean the swamp.

I can read the comments just fine. Safari on iOS. They’re pretty scathing.

I don't see them until I click on the '876'.

Democrats have said the investigation targeting Hunter Biden threatens the integrity of the 2020 election. Think about that for a second.

“Sen. Tester [D-Mont.] expressed concern over the reliance on reportedly untrustworthy foreign nationals"

But relying on Christopher Steele is fine.

It may have something to do with how we got some of the information on him.

He,his dad and the other family members should be in prison.

Hassan is in the Senate because Kelly Ayotte didn’t have the guts to back Trump.

That also caused Crooked Hitlery to win New Hampshire.

Thanks, Heaps, Ayotte.

Governors, Senators, Representatives...all that money buying that Walmart crap comes back to hurt us in the secret war. I wouldn't want to face God if I were in on that. What they get away with here doesn't fly in the long run.
