Democrats’ double standard on Ukraine (WaPo abandons the sinking S.S. Biden
The Washinton Post ^ | Marc A. Thiessen

Posted on 09/24/2019 10:16:49 PM PDT by dead

We don’t yet know whether President Trump delayed some military aid to Ukraine as leverage to get Ukraine’s president to reopen an investigation into Hunter Biden. But if we are concerned about U.S. officials inappropriately threatening aid to Ukraine, then there are others who have some explaining to do.

It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe. In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake. Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”

So, it’s okay for Democratic senators to encourage Ukraine to investigate Trump, but it’s not okay for the president to allegedly encourage Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden?

Hunter took the position with a Ukrainian natural gas company just a few weeks after his father visited Ukraine in 2014 to urge its government to increase its natural gas production. Hunter Biden had no expertise in Ukraine or natural gas.

In four days, my Post on YouTube has gotten 150,000. This opinion piece used so many of the arguments I made on that thread, they should have given me a writing credit.

President Trump has to take off the gloves now.

Not just jail, but executions for these vile, corrupt despotic criminal usurpers.

Once Rudy puts out the money-transfer copies, and it’s obvious that Hunter Biden was a money-laundering ‘kingpin’....this house of cards will fall real quick. IRS will ask for a meeting and Hunter will have to hire a 4-star lawyer to clean up his mess, with dad likely getting the bill in the end.

My bet is that Hunter commits suicide in the next two months.

Is Hunter Biden the one who went after his dead brother’s wife?

Yes, and he’s also the guy who sought a age-waiver to join the Naval Reserve, then asked for a second waiver for past drug usage, and then about four months into the Naval ‘gig’...was drug-tested and failed on cocaine usage (thus getting kicked out). Based on past news commentary, there’s probably not a single week that passes over the past twenty years that he hasn’t used cocaine at least once during the week.

It will be a tragic accident, is my guess.

Same with Prince Andrew.

The Harpy majority contingent of the Democrat Party is tossing Biden under their wheels to nominate Chieftess Hag (Lizardlips Warren).

Democrats own ‘the press’... they won’t suffer under any circumstances.

That would be a ‘yes’. Hunter then screwed around with still another and became a new father (so she claimed). This young man does get around town.
