Ukrainian Official: We’re Ready to Investigate Biden’s Son—if Trump Asks Officially
Daily Beast by Yahoo ^ | September 20, 2019

Posted on 09/20/2019 7:28:33 AM PDT by NorseViking

KYIV—Ukraine is ready to investigate the connections Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden had with the Ukrainian natural-gas company Burisma Holdings, according to Anton Geraschenko, a senior adviser to the country’s interior minister who would oversee such an inquiry.

Geraschenko told The Daily Beast in an exclusive interview that “as soon as there is an official request from the Trump administration, we’ll look into it,” but “currently there is no open investigation.”

“Clearly,” said Geraschenko, “Trump is now looking for kompromat to discredit his opponent Biden, to take revenge for his friend Paul Manafort, who is serving seven years in prison.” Among the counts on which Manafort was convicted: tax evasion. “We do not investigate Biden in Ukraine, since we have not received a single official request to do so,” said Geraschenko.

His remarks last week came amid widespread speculation that U.S. President Donald Trump had made vital U.S. military aid for Ukraine contingent on such an inquiry, but had tried to do so informally through unofficial representatives, including his lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Giuliani’s adviser on Ukraine, Sam Kislin.

Ha! This Ukranian leader doesn’t seem too smart. Let the Ukrainians dangle. They have more to lose than Trump has to gain.

Why would they need a request from a foreign head if state to do an investigation in their own country?

I don’t think so. It is obviously a trap judging by supporting rhetoric. For some reason Ukes are betting on Democrat in office again. Nothing stops them from investigating an obvious crime committed on their terriroty without any request.

What nonsense.

It’s another set up to make false claims of collusion.

~~~

It’s a trap.

This is the problem.
The agencies in our government that root out corruption like this should have been doing it a long time ago.

But of course we know that they always run interference for the dems, particulary those from the Obama admin.

So they are trying to force Trump to ask for it. Then they can claim it’s Russia 2.o

Perfectly ok for Hillbilly to pay Billions for the dossier. And NO investigation.

The Hill ^ | 9/19/2019 | John Bowden
President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani tore into CNN’s Chris Cuomo during an interview Thursday night, calling the CNN host a “sellout” during a contentious exchange over Giuliani’s efforts to get Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. Giuliani accused Cuomo of being “totally biased” during a heated back-and-forth after the Trump lawyer denied that he had asked Ukraine to look into Biden before seconds later acknowledging that “of course” he had asked for such a review. “You’re trying to distort what I’m saying because you’re totally biased,” Giuliani argued over pushback from the CNN host. “You are, Chris.

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.

The whole regime change situation in Kiev is an indication of foreign policy run amuck. It’s beyond amazing that “our” conservatives didn’t make a very big deal of it when Biden’s son profited massively from what happened. One can’t help but hypothesize that it’s because “our” “conservative” media and pols have their hands in the till, too.

At the GOP convention the crowd chanted Lock Her Up, Lock Her Up. Trump put up his palms outward and said, smiling, “No, No, let’s just win the election in November.”

NO ONE on the left said “What a good little boy you are.” They had cars burning at a screeching Women’s March and did all they could to stop the Electors from voting him as President and then a coup.

Now, PLEASE do not say “Aw, shucks, I will let Biden & Son skate.”

Trump probably said to Ukraine “ I promise we will get to the bottom of the issue of Hunter and Joe Biden’s involvement in internal Ukrainian affairs” and the whistleblower is a deep state trying to warn the dems, Soros, Hillary, Joe, (that’s morning joe) and Mr. O.

I would like to know the truth about Biden’s son’s ‘business relations’ with the Ukraine AND with China. Biden didn’t take graft but he sure did open the doors for his kids to make out like bandits...

Like theft by proxy...
