Diversion.

The question was NEVER if Hunter Biden violated any laws.

The questions were concerning (a) an investigation of a company on whose board of directors sat Hunter Biden. As a director - and given he was their only for the political influence that bought the company - Hunter Biden unlikely knew what practices of the company, Burisma, had got them in hot water.

The QUESTION was with that investigation of Burisma pending, and with Hunter Biden on its board, what was the role of Joe Biden, Hunter’s father, in getting the prosecutor managing that investigation fired. Whether the facts are only what gives the appearance of impropriety by Biden senior, the question remains a legitimate question.

To suggest that Trump or Guliani sought to know if Hunter Biden broke any law in Ukraine is a smokescreen, diverting from the real issue, and pretends Trump and Guliani had a question they in fact did not have.

Well... he was a JAG and he was hired to work Burisma’s legal division.

Democrats do like sparring with straw men.

Who knows with Ukraine’s legal system. But if the Huntster was hired so his daddy (that would be the then VP of the US, Quid Pro Joe) could see to it that an investigation into the company was quashed, that might be a good thing to know about. That might violate a US law or two. If it could be shown that Biden, the elder, had the prosecutor fired for his son’s benefit, I’m pretty sure there’d be a statute against that sort of thing.

Exactly. Why does the USA have an interest in who Ukraine appoints as a prosecutor to investigate a Ukrainian company? Biden needs to explain the American interest in having the prosecutor fired. And, why was it so important that he put a quid pro quo in front of it - “fire that prosecutor or we’re pulling our $1.2 billion loan”.
