Sen Rand Paul says that Americans will be shocked once they find out what Biden was doing in Ukraine. Just after Hunter Biden who was drummed out of the military for drug use, he received a contract with an energy company run by the Ukrainian government.
Paul was being interviewed by George Stephanopoulos when he made his statement. We also know that Biden threatened to withhold a one billion dollar loan guaranty unless they immediately fired the prosecutor investigating his son. We know this because Biden bragged about it.
Partial transcript as follows:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Good morning, lets start where Chairman Schiff just left off right there that perhaps Congress should consider making it illegal to engage foreign governments, foreign assistance in campaigns. You agree?
PAUL: Well I think the American people will be shocked and dismayed to know that Joe Biden’s son was making $50,000 a month just a couple of months after he was dishonorably discharged from the military for drugs. $50,000 a month, I think most Americans will be dismayed that the president’s son was doing this while Joe Biden was actually lobbying to have this company, you know, go free of prosecution. My understanding, this was reported in the New York Times, Joe Biden was asking the prosecutor to lay off of the company that Hunter Biden was working for for $50,000 a month –
STEPHANOPOULOS: That’s – that’s not – that’s –
PAUL: — kicked out of the military, that’s extraordinary.
STEPHANOPOULOS: That’s not what – that’s not what was reported, in fact he was on an anti-corruption drive.
PAUL: Well actually that’s exactly what was reported, yes, that he got $50,000 a month right after he was kicked out of the military. That’s exactly true and nobody disputes that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: That’s very separate from what you just said about what the vice president was saying right there.
