Earlier this week, the Justice Department announced its decision on whether or not to investigate Donald Trump over the call to the Ukrainian president.
The DOJ stated it had “reviewed the official record of the call and determined, based on the facts and applicable law, that there was no campaign finance violation and that no further action was warranted.”
The Charges
Democrats are furious of the fact Trump suggested Ukraine investigate possible wrongdoings by Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
How dare Trump drag the record of a good man through the mud like this.
The good man, however, held a billion-dollar check hostage until the Ukraine fired a prosecutor investigating a company his son was hoping to do business with.
By the way, the prosecutor WAS fired, and Biden’s son DID receive a spot on its board after Biden left office.
Hunter Biden was only being paid $50k a month by a Ukraine natural gas company for taking the seat, a company his own company, Rosemont Seneca Partners, had NEVER done business with.
The appointment caused one of his partners, Chris Heinz, the adopted son for former Secretary of State John Kerry, to send a letter to the Secretary of State distancing himself from the appointment and questioning why Hunter Biden would accept such a position with such an obvious conflict of interest.
No Wrongdoing
The Democrats wanted Trump charged with campaign finance violations for his ask of the Ukraine president.
The DOJ, however, stated it was going to be a no go.
In a prepared memo, the DOJ stated:
“The complaint does not arise in connection with the operation of any U.S. government intelligence activity, and the alleged misconduct does not involve any member of the intelligence community.
“Rather, the complaint arises out of a confidential diplomatic communication between the President and a foreign leader that the intelligence community complainant received secondhand. The question is whether such a complaint falls within the statutory definition of ‘urgent concern’ that the law requires the DNI to forward to the intelligence committees.
“We conclude that it does not. The alleged misconduct is not an ‘urgent concern’ within the meaning of the statute because it does not concern ‘the funding, administration, or operation of an intelligence activity’ under the authority of the DNI.
“That phrase includes matters relating to intelligence activities subject to the DNI’s supervision, but it does not include allegations of wrongdoing arising outside of any intelligence activity or outside the intelligence community itself.”
Additionally, DOJ spokesperson Kerri Kupec stated, “The president has not spoken with the attorney general about having Ukraine investigate anything related to former Vice President Biden or his son. The president has not asked the attorney general to contact the Ukraine — on this or any other matter.”
Sorry to spoil your little celebration Dems, but there is nothing to see here.
