Timothy O'Brien told MSNBC host Joy Reid, host of "AM Joy," the retaliatory media campaign would be "unlike anything they've experienced thus far," the Washington Examiner reported.

O'Brien described the Trump family as "epic grifters," including the president's late father, Fred Trump, who he said made his money by intersecting with both the federal government and state government in New York.

"Donald came up through New York, intersecting with local government and in Atlantic City. They've gone — now, they are now in the White House, and all of them are dipping their faces into the till," O'Brien said.

O'Brien said that if Republicans "really want to make an issue out of Hunter Biden, which is very low-hanging fruit that I don’t think most Democratic voters care about anyway, there is going to be a scorched earth response aimed at all of the Trump children that is unlike anything they’ve experienced thus far in the media."

Reid asked if financing for such an effort would come from the billionaire Bloomberg, who spent more than $500 million on his own failed campaign.

O'Brien replied that it's "an important moment for the American people to be woke about how rampant the financial conflicts of interest are among Trump’s children and the president himself."

Bloomberg is now supporting former Vice President Joe Biden, who's oversight of Obama's policy in Ukraine and China while his son won lucrative business deals in the two countries is under scrutiny.

From a political standpoint, even more important than the issue of members of the Biden family profiting from their last name is the possible influence on U.S. policy.

U.S. policy in Ukraine, for example, was focused on an anti-corruption campaign when Hunter Biden was tapped by the corrupt Ukrainian company Burisma to serve on its board. Burisma officials evoked Hunter Biden's name when they secured a meeting with the State Department in an effort to rehabilitate the company's reputation in Washington, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Joe Biden publicly boasted that, with the threat of withholding $1 billion in aid, he pressured Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor, who was investigating Burisma and its owner at the time.

The Examiner noted that after Joe Biden's Super Tuesday triumph, congressional Republicans appeared to ramp up their investigations into Hunter Biden.

So they are going to not stop what they have been doing for years.

I am starting to think Mini Mike Bloombox has got Ukrainian foreign campaign donations issues.

I think that they have already scorched the earth. It is now time to scorch them back.

I can only assume that Mini-Runt is not referring to the judge in Hunter’s child support case.

Because Hunter is going to get found out, Mini-Runt.

Except that Don Jnr has spent over 8 hours testifying before the US Senate Intelligence Committee and come out of it smelling of roes, and Hunter, hasn't even spent a minute before any Congressional committee yet.
This should be fun.

Well they haven’t gone after Hunter yet so that’s a very inflammatory or foolish quote. Unless of coarse Bloomberg wants the Biden corruption exposed so it enhances the Bloomberg campaign

The DEMs are concerned that Sen. Ron Johnson sent a request for documents to the National Archives for anything involving the name “Hunter Biden” and, reportedly & (not so) unbelievably, the request was returned stating there are apparently thousands of State Dept. documents referencing Hunter Biden but that Hussein is refusing to allow the National Archives to reveal them. The “threat” is meaningless - there is nothing the DEMs and their media cohorts haven’t already looked at and the threat is just like any number of #FakeNews stories from recent years about Deutche Bank etc.

So over the past 30 years in government Biden accomplished moving ALL of our pharmaceutical manufacturing to China - that's gonna hurt.

Must not have been one of the campaign workers that took Bloomer’s money, time and equipment to campaign for Bernie.

I am not a legal beagle, but wouldn’t Bloomberg & the Dems be guilty of Obstruction Of Justice when Hunter Biden is the target.

This only proves that Joe Biden & Hunter Biden are guilty as thought to be, and that this is the kind of politics Biden has used during his whole corrupt life.
