He’s still guilty of genocide in an illegal war, so, you know, there’s always that.
But anyway, go read Reason this morning about the Ukraine nonsense.
Short version:
Biden and Kerry’s sons were cashing in on their dads’ connections in Ukraine and China, but there’s no clear evidence of their fathers’ corrupt interventions on their behalf in getting the “jobs.”
Biden pushed to get the prosecutor fired, but there’s no clear evidence that was directly related to any investigation of Biden’s son’s firm.
Trump pushed the new Ukrainian president to investigate Biden’s son’s firm, but there’s no clear evidence that there was a direct quid pro quo or withholding of “aid” like in the accusations. As even the Post admits:
Republican senators on the Senate Appropriations Committee said Sept. 12 that the aid to Ukraine had been held up while the Trump administration explored whether Zelensky, the country’s new president, was pro-Russian or pro-Western. They said the White House decided to release the aid after Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) threatened to freeze $5 billion in Pentagon funding for next year unless the money for 2019 was distributed.
There so you see another nothing.
But according to liberal media, if true this is a big deal, etc.

Update: Pelosi is to announce official impeachment inquiry over this shit. The Democrats are completely ridiculous/suicidal at this point. They do nothing but lie and assume and accuse and pretend that any unproven allegation against Trump amounts to a constitutional crisis demanding his removal from office.
For the record, I support impeaching and removing all presidents, including Trump, though I prefer for actual crimes of state, like war crimes in Yemen for example. (Trump and Obama both should be prosecuted together for their atrocities there.) But in this case, the Democrats just look like pathetic sore losers who will do anything to try to overturn the results of the last election, even with the next one coming up in a year. And making their front-runner’s son’s corruption the underlying context of the whole matter? They’re as stupid as they are loud.
