Ukraine controversy and impeachment inquiry potentially politically perilous for Biden: Experts
ABC News ^ | September 25, 2019 | Molly Nagle and John Verhovek

Posted on 09/25/2019 9:15:03 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign is mounting an offensive strategy in the midst of allegations that President Trump attempted to exert pressure on Ukraine against his political rival.

The drumbeat on impeachment has hit a fevered pitch on the Hill, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowing to move forward with an official impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Her announcement came just hours after Biden told a gathering of reporters in Wilmington, Delaware that if the president failed to comply with congressional requests impeachment would be "a tragedy of (Trump's) own making."

Biden’s messaging on impeachment might seem a shrewd political move for the Democratic presidential front-runner.

However, Biden may now have to carefully navigate the possible fallout as impeachment hearings will likely delve more deeply into conversations about his son, Hunter and his work in Ukraine as members of Congress mull whether Trump made aid to Ukraine contingent on that country agreeing to investigate Joe Biden and his son.

I know of NO Democrat alphabet media playing the Biden video. As of this morning, Biden’s crimes are being characterized as Trump allegations.

Biden is “dead in the water”, with Warren passing him at flank speed ...

Oh, heavens no. For this to be true, the Dems would have to be cynical, disloyal, and manipulative enough to let Biden's campaign drop into the crapper for a few cheap PR points. Would they do that to a faithful True Believer like Gropin' Joe?

This is quite the shocking headline from ABC “news”, IMO.

The next couple days are going to be interesting to see the MSM, Nancy P, Joe B, and all the other dems trying to get on the same page with a theme that protects them and maligns POTUS.

Biden is done.
As sitting VP he blackmailed a sovereign country to stop criminal investigation, for personal gain, using taxpayer money. There’s no question, he openly bragged about doing so.

Democrats should be terrified.
As candidates they moved to protect Biden by threatening their political opponent via abuse of delegated powers.

Obama should be scared.
Biden’s bragging of backing his threat of “call my boss” presumes Obama would not be surprised by receiving the call, hence complicity.

Hillary should be spooked.
As Secretary Of State she’d have been part of that conspiracy to end criminal investigation - and may have had an email to that effect. Do the math.

This is what’s infuriating me, that all the talk about Biden ultimately comes to people generally being satisfied that his political career is likely over. These mofos commit real crimes! Resignations are not good enough, we’ve had enough of wrist slaps!

All the news channels are purposely missing this fact: This transcript SHOWS that AG Barr has an ACTIVE investigation into Biden, Crowdstrike, yellowcake...all those Ukraine related items. This all goes to the top levels. Senators, congressmen, ex vps and ex prez. No wonder the left is having a fit.

“The Democrats sure are throwing a LOT of flak over Ukraine.”

Yes indeedy. Joe Biden’s son is just the tip of the iceberg. Ukraine is a sink of corruption. So what other Democrats are involved in deals with corrupt oligarchs? Like the Clintons and who else?

No wonder the “whistleblower” got so upset when he heard that Trump was interested in looking into corruption vis-a-vis Ukraine.
