Why is Hunter Biden being mentioned ?

[jaysunb]

This is always the way things get skewed.

Biden is NOT the person committing felonies while being POTUS.

1. I don't know what Trump expects to gain.

He's a disgusting pig.

2. Agree. This is so ugly I don't really even want to be posting about it.

But Trump doesn't have the dignity or self-restraint not to go after Hunter Biden, and there are vulnerabilities. But I think he will absolutely enrage most Americans if he does, especially if he touches the drug, alcohol, or paternity issues.

EDIT for accuracy and to remove an issue.

6. Especially when compared with how quick he is to defend his spawn.

8. Congrats on a thousand posts.

15. Win re-election

[EveHammond13]

3. because the media is as stupid and lazy as ever

[blm]

5. Truth be told.

4. Because the R's have been squawking about the Hunter/Ukraine connection all along,

so they're obviously going to throw that out there when Trump is accused of acting corruptly with regard to the Ukraine.

From Politifact

Key takeaways

• Hunter Biden did hold a directorship for a Ukrainian gas company while his father was vice president. Experts agree that Hunter Biden's acceptance of the position created a conflict of interest for his father.

• Vice President Joe Biden did urge Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor, with the threat of withholding U.S. aid. But that was the position of the wider U.S. government, as well as other international institutions.

• We found no evidence to support the idea that Joe Biden advocated with his son's interests in mind, as the message suggests. It's not even clear that the company was actively under investigation or that a change in prosecutors benefited it.

7. A good write-up about the whole thing from Bob Cesca.

Here. He presents a pretty good timeline, and explains why there is no "there" there.

9. This is proof that trump fears Biden the most

It confirms my conviction that Joe is the best candidate we can run. He is our best hope of removing trump, and trump knows p. That's why they're trying to invent phony issues to weaken him ea on. I don't think it will work.

10. meh, it's gathering what dirt there is to be gathered.

I don't think he'd even deploy the dirt until biden secured the nomination.

don't worry, they're busily extorting information on Sanders, Warren, Harris, Buttigieg...

11. You have a valid point

Hard to disagree with your statement.

[treestar]

12. Yeah, they would tell us to lay off Eric and Donnie Jr and Princess

People are not responsible for the actions of their sons, husbands (Hillary) or other assorted relatives.

13. Hunter is Joe's one remaining son. Trump is trying to destroy Joe by ripping his heart out...

...because Joe is the strongest candidate running against Trump.

THAT is why Trump and his dog are going after Hunter Biden.

16. Yup...he uses other's human emotions against them.

Easy for them, since Trump and his ilk have no human emotions.
