Lindsey Graham Just May Have Gotten Trump’s Kids Investigated

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney said that he is more than happy to have a conversation with America about the corruption of Donald Trump’s kids.

Rep. Maloney (D-NY) tweeted in response to Sen. Graham wanting to investigate Biden’s son:

Sean Patrick Maloney

@RepSeanMaloney

If @LindseyGrahamSC wants to talk about how the kids of powerful people benefit from their parents’ officeholding - I’m more than happy to have that conversation.

We just need to invite Donald Trump Jr., Eric, Jared and Ivanka to join it...



Lindsey Graham

@LindseyGrahamSC

I love Joe Biden as a person but we are not going to give a pass to what is obviously a conflict of interest.

I believe Hunter Biden’s association on the Burisma board doesn’t pass the smell test.

If a Republican was in the same position, they’d certainly be investigated!

Earlier in the day, House Judiciary and Intelligence Committee member Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) brought up Ivanka Trump in response to Sen. Graham’s tweet.

One of the main reasons why Trump and Graham’s effort to Benghazi hearing Joe Biden isn’t going to work is that unlike in the 2016 campaign, the House is controlled by Democrats, and the tweets by Democratic members should be read as a warning. Lindsey Graham doesn’t want to go there. There is a mountain of evidence that Donald Trump’s kids are up to their eyeballs in conflicts of interest.

Lindsey Graham may end up getting Trump’s kids investigated in his bid to smear Joe Biden.

Greedy lowlifes Jared and Ivanka made $82 million last year
using their WH connections. Neither has ever held a job their
Dads didn't hand them; they contribute nothing, travel on the
taxpayers' dime and take credit for other people's work. They're
Ken and Barbie with trust funds.

6. Why would the Senate investigation even allow any evidence re the Trump kids in a Senate

investigative focus on Biden. That's another thing Lindsay knows.

Evidence about Trump's kids will have to be brought forward by the House Democrats in a parallel hearing, which Lindsey thinks they're too busy to deal with.

Knowing that what Democrats bring forward won't be allowed in the Republican majority Senate investigation, he intends to muddle the election going forward. He'll intend to influence public opinion to drag Biden's poll numbers down and cast enough doubt to affect the primaries.

Lindsey thinks he'll do enough damage to Biden to take Biden out of Trump's threat zone.

I think. I don't see how Democrats going after the Trump family as a tit for tat could NOT be a spread of Republican corruption to us.

Rudy Giuliani told The Atlantic that hiring Andrew "wasn't the usual 'hire my kid' situation." "He's known the president since he was a baby," he told The Atlantic. "Now, did he know him in the first place because he was the mayor's son? Sure, but they also had a relationship independent of me."

16. Hunter started at Burisma in 2014. GOP KNEW THIS WHEN THEY HAD THE HOUSE.

And the Biden pressure to fire the corrupt prosecutor took place in "late 2015 and early 2016." Again, when the GOP had full control of Congress. And I'm pretty sure the Senate could investigate if they wanted, even now. (I'm not sure who else would/could investigate that, but Trump controls the CIA and FBI too, for all this time).

SO FUCKKKK OFFFFFF. :p

Also, holy crapoli! Hunter's Wikipedia page calls Trump+GOP the liars they are:

Biden served on the board of Burisma Holdings, a major Ukrainian natural gas producer, from 2014 to 2019. He has been the subject of debunked rightwing conspiracy theories concerning his business dealings in Ukraine.[1] In 2019, President Donald Trump falsely claimed that Joe Biden had sought the dismissal of a Ukrainian prosecutor in order to protect Hunter Biden from investigation.[2][3][4] However, Hunter Biden was not under investigation,[5] and there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by him in Ukraine.[6] Trump's alleged attempt to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate the Bidens by withholding foreign aid[7][8][9] triggered an impeachment inquiry in September 2019. In October 2019, Biden resigned from the Board of Directors of a Chinese private investment fund he co-founded, BHR Partners, saying he wanted to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest while his father was running for president.[10][11]
