Democrats Will Go After Trump Kids Crimes If He Pushes Ukraine Conspiracy

Democrats are telling Joe Biden to get ready to punch back hard on Ukraine, and warning that the corruption of Trump’s kids will be fair game in the election.

Politico reported:

For some Democrats, the key to neutralizing the impending attacks is for Biden to turn them right back around on the president, questioning the Trump children’s many financial and business entanglements as they continue to advise their father — both formally and informally — while he’s in the White House.

“If Donald Trump wants to talk about children, let’s talk about the president’s children and the immense amount of money they’re making off of their father’s name,” said Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), who hasn’t endorsed in the Democratic primary. “I’m Irish too, so you fight back hard. When somebody throws this kind of sleaze at you, you respond.”

And costing US, the taxpayers money! Fair game even without him bringing anyone kids into the fray.

His kids presented themselves as partners in his government gig, fair game.

Well maybe not Eric so much...but he was always a little slow on the uptake.

There's enough dirt on his demon spawn to fill the Encyclopedia Brittanica - all true, mind you. It's not partisan hit-jobs; it's the right thing to do.

3. Bring it on, drumpfs kids are far more relevant than Hunter because they have been convicted.

They were convicted (along with Traitor Tot) of fraud & stealing money from a children's cancer charity fund - CONVCITED - plus China gave Ivanka over $1000,000,000 in trademarks for voting machines - why did she get a gift of over a million dollars to slant election results? Show the killings of lions and elephants by Eric and Donnie Jr. These are proven facts, Hunter Biden is just a Russian repug fantasy and had nothing to do with Joe, he wasn't part of the government, unlike Ivanka who got convicted while holding a government post. He is extremely vulnerable on this but thinks Dems won't go there and yes, the rw would absolutely explode with hate - but this is what they will get if they mess with Biden.

is anything wrong with a guy like that sitting on a board, then do something about it. Isn't it common to have people on corporate board just because the have some serious connections and influence? I'd like to see a congressman write up a bill making that illegal and see how it flies.

It's funny no one brings up George H.W. Bush's boy and Harkin energy. They gave away I think half a million to him for doing nothing, plus a bunch of stock he dumped illegally on insider information. They never proved that, but what are the chances that nobody bothered to tell the presidents boy they were about to take a big hit on their stock price?

before their mother receives a shit-load of Chinese trademarks.

So, how about going after Ivanka for using her children for nefarious purposes, namely bribery.
