We can't prosecute the Biden family because they all got pre-emptive pardons. [LINK] Did Trump actually withhold foreign aid from Ukraine, or did he threaten to do so? [VIDEO] Because if it was threatening to cut funding this is a pot calling the kettle black situation [LINK] And checking this NYTimes timeline, they say that the funds were released on September 20th. So the funding to Ukraine was not withheld, but delayed. The exact same thing that Joe Biden was doing. Saying in all caps "It's a great time to buy" before the stock market goes up 10% isn't insider trading, it's a politician delivering on his promises immediately.

If that illegal activity was connected to the person in public office, absolutely. The actions around the US forcing the firing of a prosecutor going after a company with whom Hunter has signifiant financial interests — that’s a pretty big deal. [VIDEO]

> It’s definitely unsavory, but absolutely nothing compared to the conflicts of interest under Trump, ironically even in Ukraine. Remember the withheld US money used to blackmail for political dirt? Trump was asking the Ukrainian President to investigate whether Joe Biden pressured Ukraine to fire their top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, because he was actively investigating Hunter Biden's involvement in Burisma. Here's Joe Biden bragging about getting the prosecutor fired. Ironically in this video Biden openly admits to threatening to withhold aid if the prosecutor isn't fired. [0] [0]: [VIDEO]
