Senate never investigated Biden & Burisma

The Senate has been under GOP rule since 2010. In all those years, they never considered the Biden/Burisma matter important enough to warrant an investigation.

Then Biden decides to run, and all of the sudden its a big deal? Hmmm...

Mind you, till this day there is still NO Senate investigation into Biden and Burisma.

 

and strangely enough the President is no longer pushing for it either...

 

Exactly! They aren't going to nitpick every little suspect thing. But now that the Democrats have, so will they. The payback is gonna suck for dems. I predict impeachment trials for every president, red or blue, going forward for the next 40 years. All because some whiney lefty cry babies happened to not personally like trump. Get ready!

 

Let us know when the Senate decides to actually start investigating Biden and Burisma.

Waiting.....waiting..tick tock...

 

And yet it was AOK to impeach Clinton for lying about a BJ in a civil law suit brought by Paula Jones??

 

That is the best you can come up with?

 

That is how team Trump roll. Whatever happened to "lock her up." Trump is a great understudy of communists tactics.

 

Come on everybody. The reason that this is never going to be investigated is that nobody wants to upset the family cash cow..

 

No it hasn't.

The Senate has been under GOP control since January of 2015, not 2010.

 

Now the legislature suddenly has the enumerated power of foreign policy to conduct investigations of foreign businesses.

 

They can investigate whatever they like.

 

Great.

Point to where the Constitution gives Congress the authority to investigate whatever they'd like.

 

because the republicans are more principled and have a much higher threshold to impeach. What is impeachment? overriding will of the people, a couple of hundred partisan hacks more important than 65 million people? This threatens our very democracy, to basically go above 65 million people and do this on 100% partisan lines. How does it look when not a single republican in the house voted for impeachment? NOT A SINGLE ONE OUT OF 196? not 4, 2, 3, even 1?

What Biden did was clearly worse than what Trump did but the republicans would've never seeked impeachment over this as they actually respect the power of impeachment and understand it's nothing more than nullifying the american people's votes. This democratic house promised to impeach the president from day 1 and were just looking for a reason, any reason. Look up efforts to impeach Trump, the dems have been trying to draft articles of impeachment since 2017, even for Trump's response to Charlottesville.

 

oh, you mean like lying about a blow job.

that's grounds to impeach and remove a President from office.

LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!

 

oh yes, the Senate has the power to and has done many investigations over our 250 year history.

lied under oath, that's pretty darn serious for a president. Have you seen how some have been jailed for lying to FBI? yeah...

and he obstructed justice, people forget Clinton was accused of obstructing justice by trying to coerce, intimidate, alter facts, silence people.

My personal opinion is that that too didn't meet the threshold but came much closer than what we are seeing today. Biden's actions were WAY worse than Trump's, no democrat ever cared, you hear them raising alarm bells?. Plus, look at all the attempts to impeach Trump, there was even a push to draft articles for lack of 'morality' during Charlottesville. Yes, at this moment, democrats have no principles, they from day 1 promised to impeach Trump just because he's Trump.

 

Wait, I thought Biden/Burisma was debunked? If it wasn't investigated, who debunked it? Snopes? lol

 

The Senate can call any witnesses they like or not call any witnesses.

 

Number one, Biden's Son didn't work for Burisma in 2010. Biden didn't threaten to hold back money for Ukraine in 2010. Russia hadn't invaded Ukraine in 2010. Not until Biden's Son started working for Burisma and it looked like the Ukraine investigator was going to ruin Biden's Son of an $88.000 a month job did Biden decide to get rid of the investigator.
.

 

He did push it and that is why he is facing impeachment charges

 

Why on earth would the Senate investigate Biden/Burisma/Ukraine???

 

I think that it doesnt stop with Biden. Profiting off your position of power is rampant in congress. In otherwords... its opening a can of worms for republicans and democrats.

Plus the republicans are ultra concerned about how they are portrayed in the liberal, democratic arm of the democrat party....the media. There would be so many investigative reporters digging into republicans. Remember how many republicans retired after Trump was elected? I wonder about them.....

Even bush positioned Bidens son on the board of Amtrak. Was that a favor for a favor?

Personally I think there is a lot to uncover as the culture in DC is ingrained with this type of corruption but the media isn't interested in causing trouble for their guys and republicans lack courage.

 

FACT: when Shokin was fired from the Ukranian Investigator Office, he was not looking into Burisma. The case has laid dorment for years. Shokin could care less about Burisma.

 

Clinton wasn't impeached for Lewinsky.

He was impeached for Jones.

 

They can investigate anyone apparently.

Maybe they can just issue subpoenas and have Ukraine appear.
