Biden was caught on tape bragging about forcing the firing the Ukrainian prosecutor because he was investigating the company paying his son millions of dollars for protection.... nothing happened. Threatening to withhold billions in aid purely to benefit his family. ▶ this video
Vindman is not a whistleblower in the usual sense. He is 100% a willing actor in a piece of political theatre contrived to bring down Trump. The supposed "quid pro quo" phone call was a complete "nothingburger" as they say. Vindman is a transparent partisan hack, not a patriotic hero as he is portrayed in leftist media. Want to see a real quid pro quo? Here: ▶ this video . In case you don't want to click through, that's Joe Biden, admitting -- in fact bragging -- on video in a public discussion, that he withheld a $1 billion loan from Ukraine while he was VP. The condition? The Ukrainian government had to fire the prosecutor investigating Burisma, the company where Hunter Biden was on the board.
I don't know much about this situation but is Biden not describing exactly this situation here? ▶ this video
