Lingering Trump-GOP Myth: Joe and Hunter Biden Were Involved in Ukraine Scandal

 

The Trump-Zelensky Infamous Phone Call
(On July 25, 2019)

Key extract from that phone call
(I would like you to do us a favor though)

Details of this story dogged by Trump and the GOP: The Trump-Ukraine scandal before his first impeachment and that favor he wanted from Zelensky about the Biden’s and non-existent dirt from seven reputable media sources below:

1. Agence France-Presse archived: Trump says I want to meet my accuser: Trump said he wants to meet the anonymous whistleblower at the center of the fast-moving scandal that triggered an impeachment probe against him following his infamous Ukraine phone call to President Zelensky from Politico (Page 2 is the “favor” Trump wanted).

Rudy Giuliani, brandishing affidavits he said incriminated Joe Biden's son Hunter over his work at the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma said Trump was duty bound to raise the issue with Kiev. Trump and his allies claim that former VP Joe Biden pressured Kiev to fire Kiev’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, to protect Hunter Biden who sat on the Burisma board. Burisma had been accused of corrupt practices. 

All the Biden-related allegations have been debunked. There has been no evidence of illegal conduct or wrongdoing in Ukraine by either Joe or Hunter Biden.

2. Reuters: Zelensky opponents say comments about Europeans to Trump could hurt Ukraine: Trump pressed Zelensky to investigate the business dealings of Hunter Biden. Zelensky agreed. Turns out there has been no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden.

3. PBS: Ukraine's prosecutor says no Biden probe:Though the timing raised concerns among anti-corruption advocates, there has been no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden.

4. The BBC: White House tried to cover up Trump-Ukraine call: There is no evidence of any wrongdoing by Joe or Hunter Biden.

5. NBC News: No evidence of about Joe or Hunter Biden and connections to Burisma or Ukraine: There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden.

6. Salon.com and related: Eric Trump on FOX News makes false accusations against Joe and Hunter Biden.

7. UA International (Ukraine News) also related: U.S. Congress publishes text of complaint against Trump on pressure on Zelensky.

My 2 cents: With all the above evidence and proof the GOP, the rightwing, and Trump just can’t let go of the Hunter Biden Burisma-Ukraine scandal that Trump generated back in 2019. In a word as the proof above shows: There was and is no there, there. 

I am sick and tired of Trump and followers sticking to this story and more so trying to smear Joe Biden by extension his son Hunter -- all the while forgetting all that Trump did on his watch. What hypocrites they truly are top to bottom

But the GOP milks this to high heaven hoping for political points from their base – which is their usual M.O. and rather routine.

Sadly, much of it sticks even today. I hope this shorter, more concise version helps dispute Trump and his ilk over this “fake” issue.

Thanks for stopping by.
