President Trump’s defense team went on the offensive Monday against former Vice President Joe Biden as part of its impeachment arguments. They zeroed in on potential corruption involving the Democratic presidential nominee and his son, Hunter Biden.
Former Florida Attorney General Bondi exposed Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and the Burisma scandal during Monday’s impeachment trial. It was devastating.
She argued for about 30 minutes on the Senate floor that Trump had a legitimate reason for raising the Bidens on his July 25 call with Ukraine’s president.
“You’ve heard from the House managers. They do not believe that there was any concern to raise here. That all of this was baseless,” Bondi said. “And all that we are saying is that there was a basis to talk about this, to raise this issue. And that was enough.”
“We would prefer not to be discussing this,” Bondi said. “But the House managers have placed this squarely at issue, so we must address it.”
Pam Bondi opened her testimony by noting that the Democrats mentioned Burisma and Hunter Biden hundreds of times during their opening arguments last week. She carefully laid out the timeline of events and the reason for the suspicion that they were involved in illicit activities.
THE MEDIA PROCLAIMS THEIR INNOCENCE
There is a lot of evidence, but, even after this, the media is proclaiming the Bidens’ innocence.
For instance, The Hill reported, “While many of the president’s allies have argued that there was some conflict of interest, the former vice president has denied acting with his son’s interests in mind, and there is no evidence of any criminal wrongdoing by either of the Bidens.”
Is that right? Did you see or hear of the investigation that proved that? We didn’t.
Whether the senators knew this before today, we can’t say, but we doubt it.
The former Florida attorney general recently joined the White House communications team to work on messaging, and she’s off to a great start.
Ms. Bondi interspersed her remarks with video clips of news reports and witness testimony about the Bidens.
She walked through evidence dating back several years of corruption at Burisma Holdings, a corrupt Ukrainian gas company that employed Hunter Biden on its board during a time that his father was vice president.

Why should the American people care about Hunter Biden & #Burisma?
The answer is simple: there is significant evidence of corruption.

Ms. Bondi played videos of witness testimony from the House proceedings in which former administration officials acknowledged Hunter Biden’s role with Burisma minimally amounted to a conflict of interest.
Defense team member Eric Herschmann followed Bondi with another Biden-focused presentation.
Some Republican senators have raised the specter of subpoenaing one or both of the Bidens to testify in the event that former national security adviser John Bolton provides testimony. It’s unclear if they would have the majority support needed in the full chamber.
The Democrats and a number of Republicans want to give the Democrats their witnesses, but not Republicans.

I don’t give a hoot in hell who is involved in that spider web of corruption exterminate all the bugs, slugs and infestation of pestilence that are eating away at the very fabric of our country and it’s freedoms. ….
Since I mentioned bugs I’d like to share a precautionary measure of protection that can be used for all those folks living under regressionary liberal/communistic weapons laws. … Buy several cans of wasp spray and keep them at the entrances to your home and in your vehicles. They are legal, inexpensive, shoot 20′ and have the same effect as pepper spray. I keep a couple of spray cans in the door and console of my SUV, Although I live in an open and concealed carry state, I often travel to or through a blue butt state. As a small older woman Gramma doesn’t take chances. Stay safe my fellow patriots.
Isn’t this the same person that dropped an investigation into trump’s fraudulent “university” after he gave her $25k, and now she’s lecturing on corruption? Hypocritical prostitute.
Start the investigation, let the chips fall where they may. Corruption is corruption, no matter what party they are affiliated with. Drain the swamp. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Our government is rife with corruption from the Clinton’s foundation and pay to play politics, to obummer and his JCPOA debacle, to John Kerry’s backdoor foreign policy to the Bidens (I never asked my son about his business dealings). A big bunch of corrupt liars, picking the pocket of “we the people” for a living. We need reforms and enforcement yesterday.
And yet, nothing will be done by Barr, the DOJ, the FBI, or anyone in Washington, D.C. because there are just too many big names involved in all forms of corruption in our government. Pressing the Bidens is like a small snowball on a snow covered mountaintop, don’t you dare start it rolling downhill as it will become a huge snow boulder at the bottom filled with Dems and Reps.
Where is all this new evidence Giuliani brought back from Ukraine?
