WATCH: Joe Biden Brags About Rigging The Ukranian Political System

Biden’s campaign likely coming to an end — thanks to Clinton-linked Ukraine info
Devin Nunes predicted Joe Biden’s campaign is likely coming to an end — all because of newly resurfaced reports about his possible misconduct in Ukraine that “first originated back when Hillary Clinton was trying to make sure Biden didn’t get in the race.”
Nunes, speaking to anchor Maria Bartiromo, said a whistleblower’s allegation that President Trump had acted inappropriately during a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will ultimately backfire, and shine a light on Biden’s own possible misconduct.
CNN later acknowledged that the whistleblower had no first-hand knowledge of the call, and a top Ukrainian official on Saturday defended Trump’s actions.
“These stories first originated back when Hillary Clinton was trying to make sure Biden didn’t get in the race,” Nunes said. “So now that these have been resurrected, I don’t know who came up with the scheme — maybe this whistleblower really is not a partisan. We want to hear from that whistleblower, but it sure looks like the scheme has backfired. And, like I said, it looks like this is the end of Biden’s campaign. I really do… his lead is basically down to zero.”
“This has all the hallmarks of the Russia hoax. Something leaks out. … and then it’s the same reporters that report on it, the same reporters that reported on the Russia hoax. Then you move forward, and what happens? Then supposedly they come and testify — and the night before they testify, the whistleblower who supposedly doesn’t want anybody to know who this person is, or what information they have, well, it’s spilled all over the pages of the Washington Post” the day before Congress was briefed on the matter.
“Whoever came up with this scheme — it looks like somebody was trying to deflect what Biden did back in 2015,” Nunes said. “This scheme seems to have backfired on Biden. I mean, Biden’s already dropping in the polls.”
DNI Inspector General Michael Atkinson said in a Sep. 9 letter to the House Intelligence Committee that the whistleblower complaint “appeared credible” and related to an “urgent” matter. But the DNI general counsel said days later that, after consulting with the DOJ, the matter did not meet the legal definition of an “urgent concern,” and was not subject to mandatory disclosure to Congress.
“Furthermore, because the complaint involves confidential and potentially privileged communications by persons outside the Intelligence Community, the DNI lacks unilateral authority to transmit such materials to the intelligence committees,” Jason Klitenic, the DNI general counsel, wrote.
Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire will testify before the House Intelligence Committee at an open hearing on Thursday.
“At that time, we expect him to obey the law and turn over the whistleblower’s full complaint to the Committee,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement Sunday afternoon. “We also expect that he will establish a path for the whistleblower to speak directly to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees as required by law.”
Pelosi also seemingly threatened that she would back impeachment if her demands were not met, in a potentially major shift to her wait-and-see approach thus far: “If the Administration persists in blocking this whistleblower from disclosing to Congress a serious possible breach of constitutional duties by the President, they will be entering a grave new chapter of lawlessness which will take us into a whole new stage of investigation.”

Besides the Ukraine Biden scandal, Nunes also discusses the upcoming FISA report by IG Horowitz and spygate probe by John Durham. Joseph Mifsud spying on General Flynn in 2015 is another topic of discussion.
How many times, during the last campaign, did they have the goods on HilLIARy? I will believe it if I see it.
I suspect the designation “whistleblower” is to protect this individual from being fired which may be true but I also suspect there is nothing from preventing him from being detailed to “other duties as assigned” such as counting penguins.
From another source, I read that this ‘whistleblower’ was not privy to the actual conversation, but just repeated 2nd hand gossip.
This may have been a trap, set-up to find a leaker, and they did............
“...the upcoming FISA report by IG Horowitz and spygate probe by John Durham...”
And where are these reports? Probably same place as Hubers.
That is a badge of honor among thieves and criminals.
Iron-clad proof that Hillary sold classified info to the highest bidder --- crickets.
A rumor of a rumor of something that a friend of a brother-in-law that may have been in the same state of something-or-other that may have happened -- IMPEACH!!!!!!!!!!
Wish they would have saved this garbage for the general election.
I don’t want Biden to exit and Bloomberg to replace him.
You mean it’s over like the other two campaigns...…….
I read that. “Barium meal...”. If we see someone sobbing while packing his bags for Antarctica maybe so.
Barium Meal with a side of Polonium 210 Salad dressing...............
This is a Rat hit job on Biden played to perfection.they want to make sure the mushy mouthed bumbler does not get the nomination.
Nunes is wrong. He still underestimates how big the double standard is. If Biden was a Republican who did what he did he would have been removed as VP. He may get nicked but that’s it. As it is it has become Trumps scandal and with cucks like Romney it will stay that way.
I find it curious that The NY Times, Google, and the bunch of them think Trump’s numbers are a problem for Trump when THEIR numbers are single digits.
The fix is in.
Assisted Living is your future, Joeseph.
It’s his present.....
I knew he wouldn’t last the distance the second I heard he booked all his campaign’s travel arrangements through Thomas Cook.
Ukrainian official on Saturday defended Trump’s actions.
So long Jon and media.
Gosh! Wonder who recently got fired from the White House?
