We have a devoted thread on this. My understanding is that the timeline of Papa Biden's involvement with Ukraine doesn't match up with the investment lil' bear Biden got from the Ukraine.

Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived

“But Ukrainian officials tell me there was one crucial piece of information that Biden must have known but didn't mention to his audience: The prosecutor he got fired was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into the natural gas firm Burisma Holdingsthat employed Biden's younger son, Hunter, as a board member.”

Shokin told me in written answers to questions that, before he was fired as general prosecutor, he had made "specific plans" for the investigation that "included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden."

Thank you for the response.

Here’s why I’m not convinced by John Solomon:

There have been multiple instances of former co-workers and other journalists criticizing Solomon for being fast and loose with facts.

Something fishy?

“Then again, Solomon has a history of bending the truth to his storyline. As a reporter for the AP and The Washington Post, he dug up his share of genuine dirt, but he also was notorious for massaging facts to conjure phantom scandals. In 2006, for instance, Solomon and fellow AP writer Sharon Theimer tried to tie now-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to disgraced super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff. The piece hinged on a series of meetings Reid had with Abramoff’s staff to discuss a pending minimum-wage bill and gifts from Abramoff associates who opposed several casino-expansion projects. What it failed to mention is that Reid stuck to his longstanding position on both issues—meaning that any implications of influence peddling were bogus.”

These criticisms have arisen because Solomon frequently leaves out material facts to create scandal where there is none.

The Edwards story, by John Solomon and Lois Romano, was controversial even in the Post newsroom and was attacked by Edwards, his staff, liberal-leaning blogs and about 50 readers.

Reader Robert SanGeorge of Chevy Chase wrote: "I read it three times and could not figure out why it was a news story, let alone a front-pager. What's worse was that the placement, the headline and the tone of the story clearly implied that former senator Edwards had done something sleazy."

The story was interesting, but it was more of an item for the Reliable Source or In the Loop -- and not worth Page 1. It seemed like a "gotcha" without the gotcha.

Wash. Times' new executive editor, John Solomon, has history of distortion

Here's What The FBI Lovers' Secret Texts Actually Say About Trump, Clinton And Leaks | HuffPost

On the other hand, there are a number of people with no US political affiliation who suggest Solomon is again leaving something out:


👆Ukrainian anti-corruption activist. What she says is corroborated by one of Shokin’s assistants.

Vitaly Kasko - Wikipedia

Vitaly Kasko(Ukrainian: Віталій Вікторович Касько; born 29 June 1976) is a Ukrainianlawyer. He served as Deputy Prosecutor Generalunder Viktor Shokinand resigned on February 15 denouncing the corruptionand "total lawlessness" of the Prosecutor's office.[1]

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

"There was no pressure from anyone from the U.S. to close cases against Zlochevsky," Kasko told Bloomberg. "It was shelved by Ukrainian prosecutors in 2014 and through 2015."

Clearly we should never trust a man who resigns out of principle.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

The EU was in on it.

So was this guy:


Maybe that’s how you spell “Hunter Biden” in Ukrainian? Wait, no, this is the economic development minister who was struggling to cultivate outside investment in Ukraine. Also corroborates Kaleniuk’s tweet above.

Did I read that right? 289 votes in favor of accepting his resignation? Damn, but there’s probably like 477 members of parliament m, right? No? Only 295? Only 6 Ukrainian MPs were able to resist Libtard democrats temptations and dirty dealings?

Nah. I’ll continue to take a wait-and-see on Biden and Trump, both.

@Weezer yes, it absolutely should be investigated.

That's fine. If they can prove Trump did something illegal, fry his ass. I know plenty of people are saying he did, but we'll see what comes of it. I'm just curious about what the Bidens supposedly did in the Ukraine. Mainly interested in if our leftist posters feel it deserved of investigation.

MSM is constantly calling for the head of Trump. I haven't seen much about what the Bidens supposedly did.

Biden's not the president that keeps shttng on them.

Hopefully you aren't naive enough to believe that he could treat the press like mortal enemies and then receive favorable coverage, that would be pretty stupid.

Exactly. Meanwhile, the Dims and their media are doing their best to distract the Biden Ukraine play for pay.

You falling for this like the Russian collusion conspiracy? Sure you are, no surprise there.

This might make an excellent point on someone that actually "fell" for the collusion conspiracy. Hell AV, I'm just impressed you were able to post without blaming Obama and Clinton for the whole mess, good job.

I see that the White House is considering releasing the transcript. Are we certain of which call the whistleblower was referring to? In other words, could Trump potentially release a different call with the Ukrainian President?

That, sir, would be sneaky and underhanded. So in no way could such an event ever transpire while Trump's behind the Resolute desk.

Here is a preview:

Trump: I want to make it clear that in no way am I asking you to look into the terrible reign of corruption being perpetrated by Sleepy Joe Biden on your country.

Zelensky: Of course, Mr. President, I would never suspect that a man with such large beautiful hands like yours (everyone is saying it) would be capable of such a thing.

Trump: I very much appreciate you saying that (though everyone is).

Zelensky: I just want to say also what a crime it is that the Noble Prize people in Finland and their committee of total losers (much like the failing New York times to be honest) overlooks you, Time Magazine's Man of the Year 1965-2019, every year.

They are to blame. Their fingerprints are all over the Russian collusion. You know it but won’t admit.

One small problem: Trump has admitted it. So has Guliani.
