Whistleblower Complaint Now Looks Like Democrat Effort to Protect Joe Biden from Investigation
[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] The mysterious "whistleblower" case now looks like a coordinated Democrat effort to block any investigation of presidential candidate Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant...
for corrupt pressure on Ukraine to drop the investigation of Burisma, an energy company operating in the country, on which his son Hunter Biden was a board member.

In March 2016, then Vice-President Joe Biden warned Ukraine that $1 billion in loan guarantees would be withheld by the U.S. unless they replaced Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor general who was investigating Hunter Biden. Ukraine did remove Shokin, and the prosecution was dropped. It looks like a clear case of a quid-pro-quo.

However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
as things are starting to shake out, the current obfuscation to protect Joe Biden is President Trump asking Ukraine’s new president Volodymyr Zelensky to take another look at the issues surrounding the former government’s decision to fire the Ukrainian prosecutor. This is presumably the call concerning to the whistleblower. To wit, democrats see this as Trump asking Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election.

#3 Yeah, Biden threatened Ukraine with loss of $1 billion unless they fired the prosecutor investigating his son's company. We have him on tape bragging about it.

#4 I have to think that Trump seeking clarification of this matter now is in the interest of the Democrats. If there is a thare there that party should know about it and avoid nominating Biden. If there is nothing there they should know that and not let the Ukraine question affect the primaries.
It would be a disaster to the party if Biden is nominated and then the Ukraine issue heas up.
