Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) called the Hunter Biden-Burisma investigation was “not the legitimate role of government,” during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee business meeting on Wednesday.

Homeland Security Committee chairman Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) has defended the investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter’s dealings with Ukraine and his role on the board of energy company Burisma.

What do you expect from Romney? He needs to keep corruption investigations off limit or his deals will become public. That man is lower than a louse.

Wonder if Romney boys are into the foreign dollars too? Romney is too skittish about any questioning of foreign intervention of the USA...

China brought an 80k diamond to Hunter’s room at night, knowing that he is smitten with them.

They gave him a stake in a company that amounts to $30 Million dollars a year.

And Hunter is a junkie spending $6-10 grand a day!

How’s that for affecting Elections?

“He needs to keep corruption investigations off limit or his deals will become public.”

Yeah, that was my first thought. How could one conclude anything else?

Okay Mitt, what about the Obama administrations using the IRS to stifle opposing political speech?, Is that worthy of the Senate or Government to look into?
Or the FBI using their people to help prop up a failed attempt to unseat a President?

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan Starts Blank-Check Company

Executive Network Partnering will seek to raise roughly $300 million in an initial public offering

Aug. 20, 2020

Paul Ryan, the consummate Washington negotiator, is trying his hand at another kind of deal making, jumping into the rush on Wall Street toward blank-check acquisition companies.

The former House speaker will serve as chairman of a vehicle known as Executive Network Partnering Corp., which will seek to raise roughly $300 million in an initial public offering, people familiar with the deal said. That figure is subject to change based on demand.

(snip)

Also known as special-purpose acquisition companies, they turn the traditional IPO model on its head by going public before acquiring a business. They have gained popularity as deal makers look to take advantage of the economic dislocation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

(snip)

Alex Dunn, the former president of security company Vivint Smart Home Inc., will serve as chief executive of the new SPAC. Solamere Capital, run by Sen. Romney’s son Taggart, will be the main sponsor.

Founded in 2008 by Tagg Romney, Eric Scheuermann, and Spencer Zwick, and in partnership with Mitt Romney (who stepped down in 2019 to join the U.S. Senate)...

https://www.topionetworks.com/people/alex-dunn-5b476a7078e002482f880938#new-site

Before joining Vivint, Alex started and ran two successful venture-backed companies, and served as Chief of Staff and COO to Governor Mitt Romney in Massachusetts. Alex has a bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Brigham Young University.

Top Romney Adviser Worked With Hunter Biden On Board Of Ukrainian Energy Company

SEPTEMBER 26, 2019

As Democrats and the media remain fanatically obsessed with assembling some form of a “quid pro quo” from the infamous Trump-Zelensky phone call, new details have emerged regarding Burisma, the company for which Hunter Biden worked and the company that Ukraine’s top prosecutor had been investigating before Vice President Joe Biden had the prosecutor fired via a months-long pressure campaign. According to web archives, top Mitt Romney adviser Joseph Cofer Black, who publicly goes by “Cofer Black,” joined Burisma’s board of directors while Hunter Biden was also serving on the board.
