From the "Slowly twisting in the wind", files: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Wonders If PBS Host Is ‘Working For The DNC’ After She Defends Biden

Woodruff said, “there’s been no proof of any misdoing by Vice President Biden… ”

Pompeo shot back: “Y’all keep repeating that line like you’re working for the DNC.”
...
But the prosecutor in question has filed an affidavit accusing Biden of forcing him out of his job, allegedly because he was assessing just why Hunter Biden was sitting on the board ...​

What a lot of nonsense. Everyone knew the prosecutor was corrupt and refusing to investigate not just Burisma but other pro-Russian companies. There is currently zero evidence that Biden committed any crimes, and so yes it’s extremely important that the media keep repeating that fact to prevent this administration from trying to smear their opponents to try and distract from ongoing impeachment inquiries.

Yes ... for as long as the Republicans continue to raise discredited claims, ... unfortunately, they must be countered by the truth.

The hope that we all can begin to interact as reasonable adults at some point ... can, effectively, be retired ...

It's gonna be a marathon ...

Woodruff is correct. There is no credible evidence.

I watched that entire interview. Pompeo has certainly achieved the art of lying with a straight face.

There is overwhelming evidence that Hunter Biden enriched himself being paid by Ukraine.

ZOMG!!! There' evidence Hunter Biden earned money via being employed? The Horror! The Horror!

Judy Woodruff claimed there was no "misdoing" (whatever that means)

She's entirely correct (regardless of what it means)

but it is abundantly clear that Hunter Biden exemplified corruption.

It's abundantly clear this is the opposite of reality.

Whether or not what Joe Biden did getting the prosecutor fired was illegal is a matter for debate.

On a par with a debate about unicorns.

Curiously, just today Hunter Biden resigned from the board of the Chines company which has been stuffing his pockets with money.

I find your sense of curiosity curious. Also curious is your constant derision of someone earning a wage, even entirely spurious, invented wages that never happened.

I believe all the Democrat hopefuls have said in recent days that they would never let their own children serve on the boards of foreign companies as Hunter Biden has done. Some have even used strong language in saying how awful it looks.

That's nice for them.

One has to feel sorry for poor Hunter Biden.

On that we agree.

One has to feel sorry for poor Hunter Biden. His father, Joe Biden (remember Joe?) apparently never told Hunter not to do it. Poor Hunter, he did get advice from John Kerry's son not to do it, but ... hey ... it's not like John Kerry ever ran for president or served as vice-president, ya know.

Yet, oddly, you appear to have no issue with Pres. Trump's children doing the same thing. Maybe someday the Republicans will have the same moral standards being shown by the Democrats today?

NightHawkeye said:

Ohh ... my irony meter just went into overload.

You are free to point out any conflict-of-interest Trump has. Isn't that all old news though, stuff the news media has been railing about for several years now? You think Democrats have somehow had a higher standard ... now that one of their own has been forced, by public shaming, to take a more moral stand? I'm not sure that responding to public shaming constitutes holding a higher moral standard.

How about the various trademarks that Ivanka has gotten from China, and interesting that just after her trademarks were approved her Father agreed to help China save ZTE? I'd say that looks as bad, if not worse (with the clear implication of quid pro quo) than anything the Biden's are accused of. It looks even worse when you consider that a normal trademark application 18 months to be approved by the Chinese, but these were approved in less than 2 months. There is another case where Ivanka received new trademark approvals from China the day she dined, as a government official, with Xi Jinping.

Now, if you can find that Biden really did personally profit from his son's business dealings -- and at this point there is no evidence of that -- then he might be on the level of Trump. But to quote a piece specifically about the Trump families conflicts of interest: "“The unavoidable difference is the fact that Donald Trump right now has two adult sons who are traveling the world and the country, running a business that not only they benefit from, but that the president of the United States is profiting from,” Maguire said. “There is no parallel for that.”"
