The Biden-Burisma investigation is again coming back into focus after the COVID-19 outbreak reset priorities for lawmakers and pushed the probe onto the back burner.

Two Republican senators on Thursday sent a letter to the State Department (pdf) asking for records and interviews with persons of interest regarding Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy company that once employed former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden on its board.

Co-signed by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the letter requests interviews and documents that pertain to the probe.....“The Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the Committee on Finance continue to examine potential conflicts of interest relating to the Obama administration’s policy decisions with respect to Ukraine and Burisma Holdings,” wrote Johnson and Grassley,

...“The Committees are examining the extent to which representatives of Burisma used individuals with close personal connections to high-level officials within the Obama administration to gain access to and potentially influence U.S. government agencies,” they wrote in the letter, which is addressed to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Of particular interest to the Committees are records that relate to Joe Biden’s interactions with then-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko specific to an investigation into Burisma by Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

In the letter, Johnson and Grassley also requested interviews with the following members of the State Department: U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia Bridgett Brink, U.S. Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent, and State Department official Elizabeth Zentos.

The two senators asked for the records to be provided and the interviews to be arranged by May 14 at the latest.

I call him “the King of Empty Promises”. He talks more crap on Fox News than Muhammad Ali in his prime, but he does nothing......

Biden has some dirty laundry in the Ukraine. I suspect these Ukrainian investigations are on hold because they don’t want to be accused of meddling in US elections. But it is real and, as I have read elsewhere, there is more than this crime waiting. Make sure you read the last paragraph.

I cannot understand why Hannity treats Linda with kid gloves.
Hannity NEVER confronts Linda with the promises he has made
that hasn’t been kept. Ever.

Tucker Carlson ran a whole segment on this and the King of Empty Promises has never returned to his show to my knowledge.

Tucker skewered him 5 months ago....

What a Joke.

Graham, Burr, and Johnson run things - and they are all blocking anything that would hurt Biden.

It’s the Republicans in the Senate, people.

They are simply stalling and waiting out the Trump Presidency.

Graham didn’t even vote for Trump. Kept his chairmanship despite that. With Republicans like that who needs Democrats?

The bottom line the GOP do not fear the base and feel no motivation to investigate Biden. And why should they? Too many GOP voters don’t want to face the ugly truth that the Senate Republicans they have supported and voted for their entire lives prefer Hillary Clinton and progressive Democrat policies to Trump and us.

A Congressional probe is a waste of time and money IMO.

DoJ should either prosecute people or not and get on with it.
