Impeachment: Trump Team Nails Bidens, Burisma, And Obama’s Hot-Mic Moment With Russia
President Trump’s defense team cut straight to the heart of the impeachment on Monday, insisting that Democrats have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Bidens didn’t engage in textbook corruption in Ukraine – and that President Trump’s request to investigate it was out of line.
Former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi, a recent addition to the White House communications team, walked the Senate through the entire malarkey for 30 minutes, including Hunter Biden’s ‘nepotistic at best, nefarious at worst’ board seat at Ukrainian gas giant Burisma.
“All we are saying is that there was a basis to talk about this, to raise this issue, and that is enough,” said Bondi, who noted that Hunter Biden was paid over $83,000 per month to sit on Burisma’s board even though he had zero experience in natural gas or Ukrainian relations while his father was Vice President and in charge of Ukraine policy for the United States.

Why should the American people care about Hunter Biden & #Burisma?
The answer is simple: there is significant evidence of corruption.

Trump attorney Eric Herschmann said that Democrats have been “circling the wagons” to protect the Bidens – and are refusing to investigate the Bidens, claiming without conducting an investigation that all allegations against them are ‘debunked.’

Herschmann then laid into former President Obama, who was caught on a hot mic asking Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for “space” until after his election.
One can only imagine what would happen if the Left & the media applied their manufactured outrage to Obama’s actions & statements.
Remember when Obama was caught asking Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for “space” until after his election?

Attorney Jay Sekulow argued that Democrats have been trying to “interfere with the President’s capability to govern” since he was elected.
.@JaySekulow is spot on.
Democrats have been trying to “interfere with the President’s capability to govern” since the day @realDonaldTrump was elected. #StopTheMadnesspic.twitter.com/ft7hkk6EsE
