ort Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 It is definitely weird that Hunter Biden was on the board of an eastern european energy company when he has no experience in that field. That said, I'm pretty sure that this is more a case of this energy company trying to get a big name american on the board and win favors from the US, and less of a case of Biden putting his son in that position. It does sound like the ouster of this ukrainian attorney general guy had almost nothing to do with Hunter or his position. That's where Trumps whole narrative just falls apart. At the very least, this is a tough angle for Trump to take, seeing as how his own children are in all sorts of positions they have not earned and his daughter has straight up been given preferential treatment for her businesses while she held official positions in the white house. They have literally done the exact same thing. Except right out in the open for everyone to see... only no one cares because by the time you start digging into any Trump scandal, he commits like 3 more and everyone just moves on. It feels like Trump has been involved with so many scandals and mini-scandals that would have dominated the news cycle for months in the past, but in trump world, they are news for like 3 days and then we move on to whatever new stupid thing he did.

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I will say that the fact that most of the complaint's allegations come from second-hand sources is a weakness the investigation will need to shore up. All by itself the complaint's probably not enough to make the impeachment case iron-clad; further digging is needed, and hopefully forthcoming.

It means there are MORE PEOPLE who had a problem with this in the administration. Apparently the I.G. didn't just talk to the whistleblower, he talked to the people who told the whistleblower as well. Also the fact that they tried to hide this by moving the conversation to a highly classified system shows that they KNEW this was bad. It would have been easier for the white house to attack ONE person as a disgruntled person who hates Trump. The fact that there seems to be more than one person raises all kinds of questions. It's also why Trump was focused on who the people who told the whistleblower this morning and labeled them as "almost spies". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's hard to pass off the whistle blower's report as just unverified hearsay, when the call memo matches the contents of the report. You can't walk that back now.

Exactly. It does confirm the call portion of the complain which lends it some credibility, and Trump did that to himself. They need to interview some of these other people. However, there is a lot of things that Congress will need to further substantiate. As an example, there isn't enough evidence right now that Trump moved other conversations, or even this one, to a highly classified system. We have second hand accounts about this. Congress needs to put people under oath and see what's going on. They also need to try to dig deeper to see if they can prove that Trump used the withholding of aid to pressure Ukraine.
