Steve Hilton accused his co-host and former John Kerry staffer Marie Harf of covering up alleged corruption in Ukraine from former Vice President Joe Biden.
After talking about impeachment and the “Deep State,” Hilton declared, “Let’s use their term, okay? Let’s use their term, which is ‘resistance.’ Let’s remember that about a year ago, someone wrote an anonymous op-ed saying there is an organized resistance within the bureaucracy to President Trump… That person, on top of all these transcripts, their book is coming out in a couple of weeks. These people in the bureaucracy hate President Trump, they can’t believe he’s the president, they’ve been working against him from day one.”
“You combine that with the Democrats trying to overturn the election from day one and that’s what you have now. That’s why we shouldn’t take it seriously. And further, these people inside the bureaucracy, the other thing they are doing is protecting Joe Biden, because the only real corruption allegation here is against Joe Biden,” Hilton continued. “He was in charge of Ukraine policy, he supervised billions of dollars of aid that went from the U.S. taxpayer to Ukraine. Much of that went to Burisma, a gas company that was paying his son. How much money did Joe Biden channel to his son’s business? That’s the corruption allegation. No one wants to explore that. These people are protecting against that.”
Hilton added: “There’s a further element of corruption that needs to be looked into, and again something that Ukraine should investigate, which is John Kerry’s corruption. He was Secretary of State at the time. He was also involved in channelling money to Ukraine. His former chief of staff was hired by Burisma. Soon after Hunter Biden went on the board, they hired John Kerry’s former chief of staff — while he was Secretary of State — paid him money from Burisma. Could have come from the U.S. taxpayer. That money is circled back to Democratic senators who then write to the administration calling for more money to be sent to Burisma. All of that needs to be investigated.”
“There was no evidence that anything you… I worked at the State Department then,” replied Harf, prompting Hilton to proclaim, “So you’re covering up the corruption, too. You defend it.”
Harf responded, “Are you kidding me? I am on this couch with you talking about news. Please don’t accuse me of covering something up,” to which Hilton shot back, “You are! Because you’re saying there’s no evidence. I’ve just given you the evidence.”
“I was there, and there’s no evidence,” snapped Harf.
“But the money went from the U.S. taxpayer to Burisma,” argued Hilton.

Steve Hilton is an American citizen now.
Use disposition of US $$$ in the ?Ukraine is in sore need of an accounting.
Both parties are likely VERY guilty.
So what experience does Marie Barf have to qualify her to be top grade news pundit?
“”So what experience does Marie Barf have to qualify her to be top grade news pundit?””
A better question would be what qualified her for this:
“”She has worked as the Senior advisor of Strategic Communications to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry at the United States Department of State, leading the Iran nuclear negotiations communications strategy. Harf has also served as Acting Spokesperson and Deputy Spokesperson of the State Department.””
I think any old face can be a news pundit - at least all the networks and cable seem to think so - to our displeasure! Boy - we need more Steve Hiltons...
Hard shares a talk-radio show. Or did...
Ryan is emblematic of pathetic, dangerous, unethical, self-serving politicians.
The only way evil will succeed is if we accept it and JEDNCS. Oh cool. DNC shows up in the middle of that acronym. Lol.
FOX aid not turning solid blue. I want it solid red, too, but Fox is still our best media outlet. Those hours I the evening is what gives me hope.
I feel the same way. I refuse to watch Dims,mil I can avoid it. I tolerate Juan (the idiot) simply to get to see Jesse and Greg.
I've been asking the question for days wondering if that Ciaramella guy was the op-ed author. I'm glad that others are publicly starting to link the two.

“”I tolerate Juan (the idiot)””
I don’t watch The Five but I believe from what I’ve seen that Jesse would like to crown Juan most of the time and he should. I don’t watch it because there’s another voice I can’t stand and that’s Dana’s.....
For years I could watch when Juan Williams was on FOX but not after he was given a role on that show...it became too much for me. I don’t know why FOX can’t have a program without the liberals...none of the other channels feel the need to present the other side. I wish they knew just how many viewers are fed up with them...
Because, Fox does not want a narrow minded audience.
AntiFox types are in effect anticonservative trolls
“”Because, Fox does not want a narrow minded audience.

That’s funny. You have to be kidding. Of course, they want a narrow minded audience - as long as they’re conservatives. That’s those of us who don’t want to hear the claptrap from the other side. They started out playing the PC card and it got away from them. Wouldn’t it make sense if we wanted to hear the other side, we would change the channel?
What’s with the AntiFox types? If being fed up with listening to garbage from liberals on FOX makes us AntiFox, then I guess we’re AntiFox.. So what?
Use up all your paper towels to get a new tube to view life through
State Department Barbie
Whatever!
