James E. Campbell: What Must the President Have Known (About the Biden Family Influence-Peddling Operation)?

So on the influence-peddling hypothesis I've gone from "this is possible but unlikely" to "this is very probably true." As Campbell argues, (a) it's extremely unlikely that Biden didn't know about this extensive operation going on right under his nose for years, and (b) it's extremely unlikely that the parties on the other end of the transactions were coughing up tens of millions of dollars for nothing in return.

   He says that influence-peddling is not impeachable, but bribery is. That sounds plausible to me...but...not a lawyer right here.

   But: given (a) and (b) (above): it's beginning to look a lot like bribery.

   Campbell also notes something I've griped about many times: Biden, by his own admission, got prosecutor Victor Shokin fired by threatening to withhold $1billion of U.S. aid if he wasn't. Sokin was investigating dirty dealings at Burisma, which was paying Hunter Biden--who has no relevant expertise--$1 million / year. Trump was impeached merely for asking Zelensky to look into the situation. This boggles the mind. The Democrat is allowed to get away with more-or-less open crimes; the Republican (or Trump, at any rate) is impeached for merely asking for an investigation to determine whether the crime was, in fact, a crime.

   I just want to know the truth about this. And: I want justice done. Whatever it is and whatever that amounts to here.
