trump is making this about the Bidens without one scintilla of proof...

[spanone]

so when the media talked to Biden today, they asked him about his son Hunter.....'Liberal' media my ass.

Joe Biden scolded the media on Saturday for focusing on President Donald Trump’s unfounded allegations about connections to his son’s work in Ukraine rather than the major scandal of the day: that Trump appears to have abused his powers in order to coerce a foreign government to dig up dirt on his political opponent.

“You should be asking him the question: why is he on the phone with a foreign leader, trying to intimidate a foreign leader?” Biden told reporters in Iowa. “This appears to be an overwhelming abuse of power. To get on the phone with a foreign leader who is looking for help from the United States and ask about me and imply things … this is outrageous. You have never seen anything like this from any president.”

1. This could sink Biden before the primary

I don't think Trump wanted it this way

[spanone]

2. How could this sink Biden?

[leftstreet]

3. The way scandals do

In the media, doesn't matter if someone is guilty or not

I just meant I think Trump was hoping Biden would be the nominee, and then he could use this to campaign against him

4. gotcha...if this doesn't work, he'll find something else.

10. I don't think

Trump was hoping that Biden would be the nominee. I think he is hoping that Sen. Sanders or Warren will be the nominee. But, I have no back channel into his thinking (if I may use that word to describe him.)

7. disagree

and im for Warren.
If pre-election scandal didn't sink the maggot.
NOTHING will sink Biden.

5. Last month the RW media smeared Kerry and former DUer Chris Heinz by looping them

into Hunter’s Ukraine deal, too. They will distract and distort till they control the narrative.

8. One day, the world will stop believing the BS coming from the White House

And how long will it be before they trust us again? How many generations?

9. I'm not worried about this....

Anyway, better to come out now than during the general election. The cynic in me says Democratic rivals of Biden would be delighted if this issue knocked him down a knotch or two, and they may be invoved. It's certainly plausible.

This story has been floating around (in conservative media) for a while now. Believe me, if there was anything to it, it would have been publicized long before now.

We dont know much about this, or whether it even involves Ukraine. But, I believe Trump did something bad, but I'm afraid this is just another issue where he'll be able to elude accountability. Cynical, I know .

I'm not ready, yet again, to declare this as 'the one.' I hope I'm wrong!!!!
