'Hunter defends himself against Trump's false charges' - Andrea Mitchell
in the following segment Andrea and her guests quickly segue into Trump's doings leaving Hunter's 'defense' behind unexplored.
In the ABC interview Hunter was asked if he would have gotten those jobs had his father not been the VP. "I dont know, probably not"... He doesn't know. Why did they hire you, Hunter? What did you do in return for millions? Did your father know you were doing business with people wanting to influence policy? What did he do for them?

Emails made public Tuesday show a Ukrainian businessman and major Clinton Foundation donor was invited to Hillary Clinton's home during the final year of her diplomatic tenure, despite her spokesman's insistence in 2014 that the donor never crossed paths with Clinton while she served as secretary of state.
Victor Pinchuk, who has given up to $25 million to the Clinton Foundation, appeared on the guest list that was sent between Dennis Cheng, an executive at the foundation, and Huma Abedin, then Clinton's deputy chief of staff at the State Department, ahead of a June 2012 dinner. Abedin noted in a subsequent email that the gathering would be hosted in Clinton's home.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Olga Bielkova: Biden’s candidacy would be good news for Ukraine

Ukraine, with its ongoing war with Russia and a weak economy, very much depends on cooperation with international partners. Therefore tracking their policy changes is vital.
Last week U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, a Democrat, was reported to be considering participating as a candidate in the presidential election. This is great news for Ukraine. Here is why.
Biden has a long political career, including two unsuccessful presidential races, and has spent the last six and a half years as vice president in the Barack Obama administration. In that role he gave behind-the-scenes foreign police advice to the president, especially what concerns strategic foreign policy issues related to Ukraine, as well as Iraq, Mexico, and Turkey.
Since the Revolution of Dignity, Biden has had a large role in U.S. policy toward Ukraine. During the protests, Biden had nine phone calls with former President Viktor Yanukovych, urging him to negotiate with the demonstrators on the Maidan. He also traveled to Ukraine in April and November 2014, and spoke recently at the U.S.-Ukraine Business Forum in July.
Biden has heralded Ukraine’s internal reform process—viewing it as critical. He has not shied away from calling out the need for reforms and the need to curb rampant corruption. Biden has continued to push for jail sentences for individuals found guilty of corruption.
I am not implying that Biden might be a better candidate than others in the U.S. presidential race. That decision is up to Americans. What I want to say is that Ukrainians couldn’t dream of a better batch of U.S. presidential candidates. For us, it’s a win-win.
On the Democratic Party side, Biden joins the front-runner Hillary Clinton, who is also fully aware of the intricacies of the Ukrainian-Russian relations. Over the past months, she has called for more military assistance and increased financial support for the Ukrainian government. Meanwhile in the Republican Party, all the front-runners have also expressed their support for Ukraine and only differ in nuances andemphasis. This means that the key question in the debates will not be whether to help Ukraine, but how to do it.
Yet, things could change for the better if Biden were to run. His candidacy would likely shift some of the electoral attention towards international issues. With Biden, the two most prominent Democratic candidates would both have foreign policy expertise, meaning that their opponents would need to be drilled on their policy issues on be on the par.
In the current domestic environment, U.S. candidates can win political points by being tough on Russia and supporting Ukraine. But how far they will be prepared to venture into verbal conflict is yet to be seen. A majority of Americans.
A majority of Americans (53 percent in February 2015, http://www.people-press.org/2015/02/...rming-ukraine/) still oppose providing arms to the Ukrainian government. The poll had no breakdown by political preferences, but this public opinion could constrain the candidates’ actions or rhetoric.
Ultimately Ukrainians should be aware that what these candidates say on the campaign trail could be quite different from what they would do in office. It is far easier to look tough by calling out Russian aggression than taking actions that U.S. politicians may view as escalating the situation.
Regardless, any expressed support for Ukraine during the U.S. presidential campaigns will be helpful for us—especially for keeping Ukraine on the global agenda. So, good luck to Biden, Clinton, and all the candidates across the Republican field, and keep Ukraine in your mind and hearts as you run!

Whistleblower in Ukraine (was advisor to the fired prosecutor) says that Shokin was fired because of pressure from Soros funded NGO. Biden was just a tool? Or is there a conspiracy.
*Also said he was at the meeting in US where DoJ told Ukraine to "spy on Donald Trump."Last edited by Kidlicious; October 17, 2019, 04:56.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?
