Joe Biden’s shenanigans in Ukraine need to be understood in the context of the business and political culture of Ukraine and the former Soviet bloc. We must not be naïve -- the Ukrainian company Burisma Holding Limited did not hire a druggie like Hunter Biden, the son of the Vice President of the United States Joe Biden, for his expertise or business acumen. It did not hire obscure Devon Archer, a managing partner of Rosemont Seneca Partners, a $2.4 billion private equity firm co-owned by the stepson of John Kerry Christopher Heinz, for his administrative genius, either.

The man and his entire family are crooks.
Joe Biden clearly sells out our country to bribe Poroshenko and protect Burisma, the President is impeached for even asking Ukraine to investigate it, the Democrat party rigs the primaries to anoint Biden as their candidate, and the press dutifully covers up yet another historic crime for the leftist party.
Who has this kind of power to pervert justice? What crimes will they aspire to next if they get away with this subversion of the rule of law?
