Actually:

Ukraine agency says allegations against Burisma Cover Period Before Biden Joined

Polina Ivanova, Pavel Polityuk

KIEV (Reuters) - A Ukrainian investigation of gas company Burisma is focused solely on activity that took place before Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, was hired to sit on its board, Ukraine’s anti-corruption investigation agency said.

Separately, a senior official at the General Prosecutor’s office said that neither of the Bidens had been called for questioning in relation to this investigation.

Ukraine would open an investigation into the period when Hunter Biden was involved with Burisma if there were compelling new testimony in Ukraine, Nazar Kholodnytsky, the head of anti-corruption investigations at Ukraine’s Prosecutor’s Office, said on Novoye Vremya radio.

But it could not do so on its own initiative, based solely on comments currently being made in the United States, he said.

U.S. President Donald Trump asked Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in July to probe whether Joe Biden tried to block an investigation into his son’s relationship with the company, which was drilling for gas in Ukraine.

There are two reasons to call Trump smart:

- To get a reaction out of people; rile them up (makes you a trolling asshole)
- Because you really believe it (makes you incredibly damned stupid)

So, which is it, Markk?

Oh, look. There it is again. The thing you said you didn’t say.

Here’s where I ask you again, just as I did in the previous post, to tell me what level of pay implies no corruption, or some corruption, if the amount of pay is actually a concern.

And, as you are confusing what Congress authorized with some idea that Joe Biden is writing checks from a secret monster-funded slush account (he’s not, but you can’t help yourself from being dishonest with your characterization of how the aid process worked), when are you going to draw the connecting line between those aid dollars and Joe Biden’s actual bank account?

I’ll go get a coffee while you figure out yet another way to dodge these questions.


Its cracking me up that markkk wasn't content with just one monument to his idiocy so he decided to start another whole thread to demonstrate that he doesn't even understand the basic facts of the supposed corruption case against the bidens and that he is incapable of answering simple questions. He is so sure, in his ignorance, the the bidens are dirty that he is going to mash out never ending, barely coherent word salads in order to not just admit he is wrong, not that bright and ill informed. It makes me sad that he is this desperate for validation from a group of anonymous online posters that he is willing to continually make a fool of himself engaging in imbecilic apologetics to defend the cheeto colored troll doll that he worships.

The fact that he is so sure the bidens are dirty and need to be investigated all while the DOJ does nothing do initiate an investigation is kind of hilarious. Watching him constantly dodge the questions you pose all while waving his hands about how dirty the bidens are while the DOJ continues to not investigate them makes it pretty obvious how out of touch with reality Markkk is. Maybe you should just change the question up - Why isn't the DOJ investigating the bidens now since they are sooooo dirty? Markkk, the uncritical Trump ball-fondler, apparently, has all the "proof" they need to start an investigation (even though he hasnt been able to point to a single crime, or even an alleged crime committed) so why haven't they started one yet? - oh and LOLOLOL!!

Now that Joe Biden's campaign has gained some momentum, the Republicans & Russians will triple their attack efforts. They need to hoodwink the majority of voters before the election. They've got the money and technology to do it.

Canpakes,

I am asking you to back up what you just asserted in bold. It is apparent all you can do is troll and not provide back up for your assertions.


This from the guy who had the audacity to start a "fresh" thread after he'd crapped all over the original thread to the tune of 30 pages or more.

Because he couldn't bear providing an intellectually honest answer to a simple question.

It’s working already! Markk’s defending corrupt and disgraced Russian-aligned foreign officials over the word of hundreds of other actual anti-corruption folks, and has thrown his support behind a known cheat, philanderer and compulsive liar who praises dictators, insults our own ex-POWs and military commanders, and who runs a company that routinely does business with international thugs.

Look how easy that was! : D

And you ducked what I wrote in any context...again trolling.

Here it is again...

That is another straw-man question...the corruption evidence (in part), that in my opinion and Trump's, that demands an investigation, is that he was working for a known corrupt firm, with a boss that has fled the Ukraine to avoid prosecution for corruption, and getting paid lots of money (above the norm), as was his associates, while his father was charged with handing out billions to the Ukraine...and admitting to having the GP fired, that has claimed he was looking into the Biden/Burisma connection. Also, the meeting at the white house with Joe Biden by Rosemont associates (Archer) while the VP was finalizing a deal with the Ukraine for the aid being given for the natural gas industry, in which Hunter was hired on to head up the legal team for the second largest NGC at the time, ran by the former mnister that owned Burisma and gave Burisma many licenses to extract the gas. Noting, 112K was paid to Rosemont, the day before the White House meeting...etc, etc


Also, expounding on this. Hunter was paid above industry standards for board members, and given that his boss was all of the above and more. Given he admitted he got the position most likely becasue of his name. I addressed this here which you have ducked and most likely haven't even looked at it because you are a troll.

Here is where I addressed this viewtopic.php?p=1218104#p1218104

Start at 13 minutes...

Again you are just trolling... This time around I’m just poking the subject with a stick for the sheer amusement ... but that's okay.


And, as you are confusing what Congress authorized with some idea that Joe Biden is writing checks from a secret monster-funded slush account (he’s not, but you can’t help yourself from being dishonest with your characterization of how the aid process worked), when are you going to draw the connecting line between those aid dollars and Joe Biden’s actual bank account?


Another straw-man... did you forget his quid pro quo? Again more trolling. Biden was th elead for Obama on aid ofr the Ukraine and other countries.

Note in the beginning where he states he was convincing "our/their" team they should receive aid.

Who is being dishonest? But is what trolls do, they cherry pick a point out of context and as you wrote... poke the subject with a stick for the sheer amusement...LOL,

So, which is it, Markk?


He is smart...you don't become a Billionaire, own property all over the world, have a great family, beautiful wife...totally destroy maybe the most "qualified presidential candidate" the US has ever had. Have a top rated TV show...and totally get into so many heads ,like yours...by being stupid.

He is a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them. He says stupid things, like you just wrote. He has no filter, he is a narcissist and again other things, but not stupid.

He is also "dumb" enough, to "drain the swamp" enough that you will mostly likely have to vote for either a old communist who just had a heart attack, or a old man with the onset of dementia? neither of these are funny, and I do hope they are okay...but it is a reality.

Love ya brother

by the way...Brady might be a 49er?????

... unless you start out with a dozen companies handed to you by your family, given enough cash to be 5 times as rich as he presently is had he just invested into a SP500 index fund, written off over 920 million dollars to be covered by the taxpayers, and run through a handful of wives.

He inherited his money. He's been named the person who's lost more money in the last 40 years than anyone else. He bought his latest wife with his inherited money, and she doesn't appear that enamored by him. He's got a great family if 3 wives is your thing, and you don't mind a bunch of douche bags.

The damned Kardashians have a top rated show. Or how about Real Housewives? Popularity is meaningless in terms of the participants' intelligence. A lot of famous, popular people and shows are damned stupid. Some seem to be famous because they're damned stupid... like Trump.

Your means for measuring intelligence gives me the answer to my question (trolling or stupidity), and you're not even correct about basic facts, so even if yours was a good way to measure smarts, you'd still be wrong. Trump is an epic idiot. He's gotten under my skin for two reasons:

- he's a moron
- he's President

Either one of those things by itself would be ok, but the combination of both drives me insane. Part of that insanity is due the indictment his existence in the public sphere represents on the American people. I have a very low opinion of people.
