Sen. Ron Johnson is not concerned about Trump paying scant taxes and being hundreds of millions in debt. And told me he is more concerned about Hunter Bidens finances.
What are you going to do - beat up on somebody for following our awful tax law? I don't choose to do that.

(11,495 posts)12. It only prove to me
that they are "ALL" compromised in one way or another, either from trump or Putin, and they are helping trump because they only care about covering their own ass, and don't give a damn about our country or about the oath they all took to protect the country from enemies both foreign and domestic.
They all need to be investigated and removed from office if found guilty of crimes agains our country.

Democrats alert inspector general that GOP's Biden probe directly implicated Perry in corruption
Republicans tried to smear Biden, but instead "succeeded in implicating former Secretary Perry in a corrupt scheme"

The Republican report aimed at raising questions about the dealings of Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in Ukraine appears to have accidentally implicated former Energy Secretary Rick Perry in an energy scheme in the foreign nation, according to the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee.
Republicans led by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., released their much-hyped report on Hunter Biden's role at the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma on Wednesday. However, it found no evidence of actual wrongdoing and relied largely on debunked claims, old statements and narratives pushed as part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
But the report did find new evidence related to Perry's actions in Ukraine while he served in President Donald Trump's Cabinet.
Amos Hochstein, a member of the supervisory board at the state-owned Ukrainian energy firm Naftogaz, told lawmakers that Perry "inappropriately pressured the Ukrainian government" to place Texas oil executive Robert Bensh on the board of the company while officials at the Department of Energy pressured the government to sign a deal with a "private business entity connected to Mr. Bensh," according to a letter Wyden sent to Department of Energy Inspector General Teri Donaldson.
Perry also pressured the Ukrainian government to place one of his longtime campaign supporters, Michael Bleyzer, on the board during a trip to Ukraine for President Volodymyr Zelensky's inauguration in 2019, Wyden wrote. Bleyzer and his partner were later awarded a drilling contract in the country.
