When that Vice President is acting at the behest of the administration he serves, then yes, it is okay. Biden wasn't acting nefariously. And the fact that he talked about it openly speaks for his innocence. The prosecutor, by the way, was corrupt, and was not investigating Hunter Biden.

Soudland said under oath. Trump did not care if there was an investigation.
Trump only wanted the announcement

Right
Trump could have asked Barr to look into the matter. Maybe you need to re-think your arguments.

The mainstream press presents plenty of facts. Calling it fake news doesn't mean that the facts aren't there. The administration that presents falsehoods as "alternative facts", is not really who you want setting standards.

Thats not his argument.

So what about years of accusing Trump of collusion with Russia, which he did not do.
You democrats have a ridiculous double standard about everything..

The mainstream press presents half the facts or less. The impeachment coverage by the three networks has been a joke.

Thats wrong. Obama turned managing ukraine policy entirely over to biden. EVERYONE in ukraine is corrupt, that is no defense for hunter and joe.
It appears hunter was given the job as a bribe for joe.
Hunter was not hired for his access to joe, ukraine already had that. Joe biden altered the terms of the loan guarantees which allowed burisma to steal 1.8 billion in us aid. He had the prosecutor fired so he couldnt look into his own crimes.

Crime actually dropped more significantly under Dinkin.

There was a significant increase in federal funding of police officers in the USA during Guiliani's tenrue and Mayor and the economy was good.

Yes, at the time New Yorkers credited Guiliani but as time passed and the national statistics and trend were realized and crimes rate changes compared to other time periods...meh --- he got lucky.

Time Square was revitalized while Guiliani was mayor but Dinkin got the ball rolling with Disney -- good timing again for Guiliani.
Giuliani instituted stop and frisk, and broken windows, those policies were a major reason that crime dropped in NYC.
And Dinkins was a horrible mayor.

Right
What is the need to be in Ukraine? Joe never lived or worked there.

As to Hunter, Ukraine has already announced they have found NO EVIDENCE of any wrongdoing by Hunter in his time on the Board of Burisma.

Secondly, Comey, Strzok, Page, et al, aren't part of the DoJ any more. If this is such blatant corruption and abuse of power by Biden, why didn't the Repub majority Congress (both chambers) investigate it back in 2014. Biden's actions were not at all a secret.
