Nice Mitt. Really Strong words here. That oughta do it.
I want the word "troubling" to be removed from the mouths of every politician. It's the ultimate "this is a very bad thing that I won't actually do anything about" word.

At least he said SOMETHING. To my knowledge he's the only Republican to do so.
God you guys like to imagine Hillary is something else. Hillary has NO place in this election. She is not going to enter the race. In fact, @babe, I'll bet you $500 that none of Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama or Oprah enter the race. If you agree we'll get the money into an escrow account ASAP and I'll let you pick the jazzfanz regular of your choice to oversee it. Hillary is not popular with the Dems. She'd get booed off any stage she set foot on. She's the reason Trump won. You think the Dems are going to hand him another win by resurrecting her corpse?
I'm not a "dem" other than wanting Trump gone.I think you don't read all of my rambling posts. You might have gone through this one top to bottom, but missed the point. It looks like you did see my other comment where I ran through the idea saying I'd believe it more if Michelle or Oprah were going to announce in Nov, but the point was I didn't actually believe Hillary would. My point was that somebody credible has got to be found for the Dems. And good luck with that.
Hillary does have a "machine" she could mobilize, still. She could still get 42% of the vote. She used to have the Rockefeller nod, which I think now goes to Trump. I once, in this forum, said that the Dems have a good choice in the constitutional law professor who goes on Hannity a lot, but he was pals with Epstein too, so I think that's a sunk boat. Pretty clear the DNC and party bigs are in it for Pocahontas now. Pretty clear Biden is being sucked out like the brain of a ninth month abortion project. I think his supporters, and particularly his inner circle, are just not seeing the handwriting on the wall.
I could dispute whether the "leaked" phone conversation was put out by a real Resistance remnant in the swamp, or by some compliant Trump wonk, as a way to get it in the stupid news. But I have heard the tape of Biden bragging about his intimidation of Ukrainian leaders to get his son's case ignored about forty times. Probably forty million Americans have heard him brag about the billion dollars of US aid he threatened to withhold unless the prosecuting attorney who was one his son's case got fired, and how Obama would back him on it, and how the prosecutor was fired. "If that prosecutor isn't fired within six hours, you won't get the 1B "
ABC ran a story on this some months ago. The NY Times has done a story on it.
Biden is the "Manchurian Candidate" who is most owned by China, and the American and Western Establishment, from the highest or most influential levels, will not let him win the nomination for the Dems. Biden is sunk.
Senile, and Sunk.
But good on ya and any other dems who are done with Hillary.

And Warren is going to bury him in the election. What all you conservatives don't get is that the Dem candidate doesn't need your approval to be a viable candidate.

Tapper is one of the most interested pushers on the stage.
It's not "doing business" that is the issue. Hunter Biden had no skills, no talents, no experience in the business, He did nothing for the business. He was paid in exchange for favor from Biden and Obama. Shameless corruption.
You’d know best what it’s like to have no skills and no talents.
I hope the next time, Boies Schiller Flexner, one of the best law firms in the world hire, they ask you what you think. Clearly, trumpers like you know best.
Lol these guys don't ****ing care lol.You know nothing about my skills or talents. There are few law firms that don't actually chase ambulances and take cases for slip and fall artists. But sometimes lawyers will do the Bill Handel "Ya got no Case" Schtick when they see no way to get paid for the job.
Nobody can explain what Hunter's job for the Ukranian gas company was, or even prove he showed up to smile.
edit:
Here's a whitewash job appearing in the Washington Times in 2014:

not sure that link will hold. Screenshot please.
So, Hunter was an "international lawyer" with ties to Russia, and the Ukranian gas company had holdings in Crimea, which required delicate and influential "help" internationally. Wow.
So the Ukranian government thought Hunter Biden was a problem to their interests, peddling influence with Russia, so they started investigating him.
And Joe Biden slammed them for it, and demanded they stop it on pain of losing US aid.
This would make Joe Biden Russia's bitch.
No wonder Ukraine has been trying to get somebody in the US to look into all this.
And that's the upshot from the WT whitewash from five years ago.
Biden folks go pound sand. Joe is corrupt.
I came across this the other day, pretty funny stuff.There's a lot of misinformation on this thread from people asserting they know things about Ukraine.
Ukraine is COMPLICATED. I barely feel like I have my arms around some of the biggest issues there and I've visited twice and read local newspapers every day. It's difficult for a Westerner to differentiate the single biggest political issue there, the insolvency and nationalization of PrivatBank, from pretty standard Western-style investment banking. Your frame of reference has to shift to get what's happening in that part of the world and you can't do it on the fly.
For example, the "foreign minister" quoted above (Vadym Prystaiko) is a holdover from the Poroshenko era (President pre-Zelensky) and WAS NOT FOREIGN MINISTER AT THE TIME OF THE CALL. I strongly doubt that Das Jazz is aware of the role of the foreign minister in Ukraine's governmental system, the significant turnover in Parliamentary members, or recent changes in rules regarding governmental immunity for ministers and members of the Rada. All of these things touch and concern the statement from Prystaiko, but require more than a simple validation of what you want to be true.
That Trump and Giuliani have been trying to pressure the government to open a bogus investigation has been well-known in Ukraine for months. No one there had any illusions that the decision to withhold military aid was a power play, and one that was calculated to put maximum pressure on a new president trying to actively negotiate a draw down of a frozen conflict on his most important border. If you want to see what the Ukrainians are saying about the last few days, here's an explainer from the top English language news source in the country
https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/trump-whistleblower-scandal-explained-from-ukraine.html
These investigations have been covered for months by the best journalists in Kyiv. There's no there there. There is no indication that Burisma was actually being investigated, or that Shokin's removal had anything to do with that investigation. Shokin had dragged his feet on prosecutions following the Maidan revolution and there was a multilateral push to have him removed. The worst this can be spun as a potential conflict of interest that occurred because Biden is a government official while his son was in the private sector: a standard that no politician can meet - and particularly not the Trumps.
If you want to look at Russian language news sources, their reaction to the story Trump/Biden is trying to tell is even more perplexed. Ukraine is a fragile country trying to do something big under very difficult circumstances. Personally I'm a Zelensky believer, and it's gonna crush me if he gets the Trump stank on him over this.
