KEY POINTS Three House committees are investigating reported efforts by President Trump and personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani “to pressure the government of Ukraine to assist” Trump’s re-election campaign. Giuliani has repeatedly urged Ukraine to probe former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, who had a role with a Ukraine gas company.
Three House committees on Monday began investigating reported efforts by President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to pressure “the government of Ukraine to assist” Trump’s re-election campaign by having Ukraine probe former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
The investigation comes weeks after Giuliani reportedly urged a top representative of Ukraine’s new president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to probe whether Ukrainian officials tried to harm Trump’s 2016 campaign and whether Biden’s own diplomatic efforts in that country affected Hunter Biden’s involvement with a gas company in Ukraine owned by an oligarch there.

Good. Maybe they will show how Andrew Weismann worked with the CIA front company McKinsey in the Ukraine to frame Trump.
This, of course, is outrageous and deeply offensive to the media.
And thus, on the other hand, the media is suggesting that an investigation into possible crimes is warranted in the case of Donald Trump and his associates.
Because anyone who calls for an investigation, ought to be investigated.
These are damned DEMS...they won’t do that!
“” “” On the one hand, Republicans are suggesting that an investigation into possible crimes is warranted in the case of Joe Biden and his family.”” “”
I have no idea what is to investigate. Biden’s curruption in Ukraine is just so blatant that all you need is to formally document the obvious and write charges.
Evidently it is an impeachable offense to point out a democrat’s crimes.
What is it if not obvious bribery and abuse of office?
Should be Shokin...not Sorkin...
You keep posting that McKinsey is a CIA front company.
Prove it.
The book “The Almost Classified Guide to CIA Front Companies, Proprietaries & Contractors” lists McKinsey & Company.

How George Soros Singlehandedly Created The European Refugee Crisis (with McKinsey)
Soros was there to profit from the chaos he helped create. His prize in Ukraine was the state-owned energy monopoly Naftogaz.
Soros again had his US cronies, Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew and US consulting company McKinsey, advise the puppet government of Ukraine to privatize Naftogaz.

Despite the concerns about the protocol, when the Westmoreland disclosures were filed on July 3 in accordance with it, McKinsey disclosed hundreds of MIO connections. They included 56 investments — in funds run by Whitebox, UBS, BlackRock, Oaktree Capital Management, PIMCO, and Bank of America, among others. It also disclosed numerous hedge funds that had been McKinsey clients when they were lenders to other companies that filed for bankruptcy.

How McKinsey Has Helped Raise the Stature of Authoritarian Governments
Its clients have included Saudi Arabia’s absolute monarchy, Turkey under the autocratic leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and corruption-plagued governments in countries like South Africa.
In Ukraine, McKinsey and Paul Manafort — President Trump’s campaign chairman, later convicted of financial fraud — were paid by the same oligarch to help burnish the image of a disgraced presidential candidate, Viktor F. Yanukovych, recasting him as a reformer.
Inside Russia itself, McKinsey has worked with Kremlin-linked companies that have been placed under sanctions by Western governments — companies that the firm helped build up over the years and, in some cases, continues to advise.

Spies fear a consulting firm helped hobble U.S. intelligence
Insiders say a multimillion dollar McKinsey-fueled overhaul of the country’s intelligence community has left it less effective.

The CIA, which hired McKinsey in 2015, went through similar changes that irked many at the agency, according to current and former employees.
A former senior intelligence official who witnessed CIA’s reorganization, for example, said the changes there affected turnaround time for intelligence reports, which is a critical factor in decision-making. He also complained about the newly created “mission centers,” saying that, ironically, he had “greater connectivity” to analysts before they were forced to share a room.
“It’s become a place there that having meetings passes for making progress,” the former official added.
But not everyone agreed with how much of a role McKinsey had in the restructuring, or with the negative assessment of the changes.
#7. Please don’t suggest to the leftwing media that they should actually do some honest investigative reporting. It would break a decades long record of doing just the opposite and bragging about it.
Time for the Sen. Judiciary and Intelligence Committees to hold joint hearings into the Clintons and Bidens re the Ukraine and Red China.
I’ll bring the popcorn, by the ton.
Sounds like a chicken Kiev move to me
If it is from the democrats in the house, they are lying.

He's also the Democrat contender who Trump would probably prefer to face over most of the others. So how does an investigation of Biden help Trump's re-election campaign?
It actually makes sense to unveil everything closer to the elections.
Yes, this
instead of investigating Biden which is the crime involved
