Lots of politicians kids make money riding the coatails of their Mommy or Daddy. Burisma is a little different though. Known money launderers. UK government has been going after them for years. All of a sudden though the dogs were called off when Hunter showed up. Highly improbable that is by chance but hard to prove. Could Daddy have made that happen. Of course he could. Even Obama's team had a problem with it.
Yeah, that is true. Burisma is a different thing, but what was done there by the Bidens is no different than a politician getting his kid a good job in government because of their connections. There should be a difference, what happened there should be illegal, but it falls into inappropriate, not illegal because the laws are F'ed up.
Also what Trump did was not illegal, in fact that investigation was initiated before Biden threw his hat into the presidential run.

What trump did was illegal, as he asked for a favor. If he'd gone through proper channels he would be OK. But he's in trouble as he abused his office by asking for an investigation himself. He should have done this another way.

None of this helps trump. He's not being impeached for whistle blowing, he's being impeached for going outside official channels. If he'd gone through the fbi like he was supposed to he'd be golden.

I'm afraid you aren't allowed to discuss Mr. Biden. Please turn in your keyboard on your way out.
