Turns out Biden's family not the only one to benefit from Ukrainian fossil fuels
American Thinker ^ | 10/12/2019 | Howard J. Warner

Posted on 10/12/2019 7:49:14 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

On Sept. 24, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the official impeachment inquiry that would be led by the Intelligence Committee and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).  At first, this was a curious decision to objective persons, since the Judiciary Committee has the authority over this type of procedure.  At the time, Pelosi indicated a threat by President Donald Trump to our national security during the July 25 conversation between him and President Zelensky of Ukraine.  She did this without the benefit of the transcript, but she doubtless already knew much of the CIA "whistleblower's" complaint.  Further, the Ukrainian president disputes her version.

But this is not the rationale for her haste to convene the investigation.  It appears that the D.C. swamp benefits another powerful family.  The Biden family has gotten special treatment from Ukrainian oil interests, and the Pelosi family has a similar advantage.  Paul Pelosi, Jr. was a board member of Viscoil and an executive at its related company NRGLab, which was involved in energy business in Ukraine.  Perhaps the use of the Intelligence Committee has given the Democrats the opportunity to limit Republican questioning and maintain secrecy over the responses from subpoenaed witnesses.  This would prevent any official record implicating Pelosi's son.  This also explains her reluctance to take a vote authorizing the investigation, since the minority party would gain some rights.

This is interesting also since much of the Democratic Party rejects carbon-based energy sources.  Biden has made this a part of his campaign.  The Green New Deal proposals will eventually end dependency on oil and gas as an energy source.  But this does not stop these politicos from benefiting financially from this sector of the economy.  This reminds one of the financial benefits that Al Gore's father had from Occidental Petroleum, which was one of the great polluters (remember Love Canal?).

Trump is using the dirt mined from the swamp as leverage and not for draining or indicting members of the swamp.
Investigations lead to even more corruption which leads to more investigations.

He's only been able to do anything since that low-life, back stabbing Sessions left...less than a year.

He's not a king, he doesn't have subpoena power, he doesn't carry handcuffs and he doesn't drive a SWAT van.

He's attacked daily from all sides...including from people like you.

So have some patience, show some respect and STFU.

Democrats prove again they are like whores to own one all you have to do is wave some cash in front of them.
A book on them would be titled True Felons.

Exactly.

Your post expresses the sentiments of many, I am sure.

Certainly expresses mine.

The problem with bribery and whores is that you only own them for a short time.

They are always on the way to a higher bidder.

It's all starting to make sense now.

Democrat politicians are trying to destroy the oil, gas and coal corporations and industry in the USA.

Why?

So they can get rid of competition for the same from Ukraine, driving prices for gasoline, home heating oil, etc., through the roof so they can get richer.

Not if you have proof it’s why so many are owned for life.

“including from people like you.”

That right there is a miss by mile.... Just a bit of reading comprehension would not have left you with such a conclusion.

Trump would be indicting most of Congress right now, if it were just and possible to do so. However, the facts being what they are, it appears that Trump is being forced to indict corruption in the court of public opinion....

Thus, it will take an election to drain the swamp.

As for : (RE:)

“including from people like you.”

Have enough respect to read the post before making such a leap....

However, if you are simply not equipped to comprehend what is written, perhaps a text based forum is not for you.

And that’s ok. More reading and less posting will allow plenty of time to develop.

Thank you for quoting me. Perhaps it was an accident that you missed the full quote.

“Trump would be indicting most of Congress right now, if it were just and possible to do so.”

Which I do believe answered your question be it was asked...

535 House and Senate members.

How many have family and/or friends feathering their nests through corruption...

I’ll bet Trump has a pretty good idea.
