Former Vice President Joe Biden called for President Trump to release a transcript of his July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, amid reports that Ukraine is at the center of a whistleblower's complaint over Trump's contacts with a foreign leader.
"If these reports are true, then ... It means that he [Trump] used the power and resources of the United States to pressure a sovereign nationa partner that is still under direct assault from Russiapushing Ukraine to subvert the rule of law in the express hope of extracting a political favor." Biden's statement on Friday Catch up quick: Three House committees Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, and Oversight and Reform are investigating whether Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, "were misappropriating the American foreign policy apparatus for political gain," the New York Times reports.
These investigations are in response to reports that the Trump administration "delayed a package of military assistance to the new government in Ukraine," as reported by the NYT. The committees say they will investigate whether that lack of military aid is part of an alleged effort by Trump "to coerce the Ukrainian government into pursuing politically-motivated investigations, including of former Vice President Joe Biden and his family." What else Biden is saying:
"Such clear-cut corruption damages and diminishes our institutions of government by making them tools of a personal political vendetta. At minimum, Donald Trump should immediately release the transcript of the call in question, so that the American people can judge for themselves, and direct the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to stop stonewalling and release the whistleblower notification to the Congress."

Trump needs to TWEET the video of Joe bragging about blackmailing the Ukrainians. Talk about Leftist heads exploding ..........
Above post is what Whistleblowers do
So well put, thanks!
So, imagine if President Obama asked a foreign leader to help determine if Dick Cheney obstructed justice by threatening to withhold US Aid unless a prosecutor investigating foreign criminal activity by Liz Cheney was fired and replaced by a more sympathetic prosecutor.
I saw it....friggin’ unbelievable.
Obama made Biden point man to 2 countries. China and Ukraine.
Amazingly, his know nothing son made a ton of money in both countries.
I guess Biden was too stupid to start a “Global Initiative” like the Clintons for their dirty money.
I’m not much for the 3-D chess stuff some attribute to DJT, but I do sense a glorious, NYC trap belig laid by Trump & Giuliani.
Not much of a lawyer, is he?
Slap yourself for even THINKING about Trump being a dhimmicrat.
Hummmm!! Joe, it is not the President with the problem. The facts will reveal your son committed fraud and you threatened the Ukrainian government - appropriated funding versus firing your son’s prosecutor. I predict you will withdraw from the Democratic presidential bid within ten days for you are in deep doodoo.
Could the President have instigated this whistle-blower charge against himself?? - a mouse trap???
Why does Biden want to make a big deal of his son getting that job after the Obama administration did their regime change thing in Kiev?
KEEP IN MIND: falsifying documents is the preferred criminal MO to hide larger crimes.

INSIDE THE SHADY PRIVATE EQUITY FUND OF BIDEN AND KERRY'S KIDS
EXCERPT--Peter Schweizer in his new book, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends, details a number of ethical violations on both sides of the political aisle. One example: the little-noticed private equity firm run by the sons of Democrats Joe Biden and John Kerry, as detailed in this exclusive first excerpt.
The two men became close while serving for several decades together in the US Senate. The two often talked on matters of foreign policy, says Jules Witcover in his Biden biography.So their sons going into business together in June 2009 was not exactly a bolt out of the blue. But with whom their sons cut lucrative deals while the elder two were steering the ship of state is more of a surprise.
What Hunter Biden, the son of Americas vice president, and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (later to be secretary of state), were creating was an international private equity firm. It was anchored by the multi-million Heinz family alternative investment fund, Rosemont Capital. The new firm would be populated by political loyalists and positioned to strike profitable deals overseas with foreign governments and officials with whom the US government was negotiating.
Hunter Biden, Vice President Joe Bidens youngest son, had gone through a series of jobs since graduating from Yale Law School in 1996, including the hedge-fund business. By the summer of 2009, the 39-year-old Hunter joined forces with the son of another powerful figure in American politics, Chris Heinz. Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania had tragically died in a 1991 airplane crash when Chris was 18. Chris, his brothers, and his mother inherited a large chunk of the familys vast ketchup fortune, including a network of investment funds and a Pennsylvania estate, among other properties. In May 1995, his mother, Teresa, married Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts. That same year, Chris graduated from Yale, and then went on to get his MBA from Harvard Business School.
Joining them in the Rosemont venture was Devon Archer, a longtime Heinz and Kerry friend. The three friends established a series of related LLCs. The trunk of the tree was Rosemont Capital, the alternative investment fund of the Heinz Family Office. Rosemont Farm is the name of the Heinz familys 90-acre estate outside Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania. The small fund grew quickly. According to an email revealed as part of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, Rosemont described themselves as a $2.4 billion private equity firm co-owned by Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz, with Devon Archer as Managing Partner.The partners attached several branches to the Rosemont Capital trunk, including Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC, Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners, and Rosemont Realty. Of the various deals in which these Rosemont entities were involved, one of the largest and most troubling concerns was Rosemont Seneca Partners.
Rather than set up shop in New York City, the financial capital of the world, Rosemont Seneca leased space in Washington, DC. They occupied an all-brick building on Wisconsin Avenue, the main thoroughfare of exclusive Georgetown. Their offices would be less than a mile from John and Teresa Kerrys 23-room Georgetown mansion, and just two miles from both Joe Bidens office in the White House and his residence at the Naval Observatory. In short, the Chinese government was literally funding a business that it co-owned along with the sons of two of Americas most powerful decision makers.

If Hunter Biden got Billions or even Millions from China and Ukraine due to Joe and Obama, Things could get interesting......Payoff to Obama??
Local TV news had the usual MSM slant that Trump's in trouble because of this. At the end they said "There's no evidence that Biden or his son did anything wrong."
The coverup continues...
.
No one paid taxes on the 80k diamond the Chinese sent to Hunter Bidens Hotel room at night.
.
Biden confessed his own crime of bribing Ukraine with $1 Bil to fire prosecutor (who was after his son). At 52:33 of this

Biden is going down, criminal, fool, buffoon that he is and...by the way, so is Elizabeth (No Taxes....everything is free) Warren. Democrats will reach out to failed Hillary Clinton or, tainted, Michelle Obama. Her miserable husband Barack did not develop any bench of qualified Democrats for the 2020 POTUS slot!!!
It would be hysterical if the contents of said transcript were Joe’s complete undoing, like an unsuspecting vampire who demands to see the contents of a closed box that holds a crucifix.
