    But that’s exactly what you’re doing: crying foul, and you don’t have any evidence that he’s doing that. Once again, you’re using circular logic in order to justify dragging someone before a congressional hearings because you don’t like their father, and you have suspicions. Suspicions, not evidence. In this country, your hatred of his father, combined with your own paranoia are not nearly enough.

      You’re making it sound like being called into a congressional hearing is some great injustice, though. It’s not a court of law, what is and isn’t illegal isn’t super relevant here. His job in Ukraine for that gas company was pretty transparent influence peddling. He has no qualifications for it and by all accounts he didn’t really do much of anything but collect a paycheck.

      You’re welcome to not believe that I guess, but I think that would make you pretty gullible. A lot of politicians’ children do this. On both sides. I cannot bring myself to care about the only one to have to actually stand in congress and try to justify it.

        being harassed on a congressional level IS a great injustice, especially if thy have no legal reason to do it.

        It’s not a court of law, what is and isn’t illegal isn’t super relevant here

        wrong. people can be (and have been) tried and convicted in congress.

        His job in Ukraine for that gas company was pretty transparent influence peddling

        if there was any real evidence of that, or of it being illegal, then prove it in a court of law. But there isn’t, which is why people like you want to loudly insinuate it in a public circus in a congressional hearing. this brings us right back to the pint with you circular reasoning.

        You’re welcome to not believe that I guess, but I think that would make you pretty gullible.

        because there’s no evidence, just insinuations and innuendo from the far-right. And if YOU want to believe rumors and propaganda over evidence and proof, then I’m not the gullible one.

        A lot of politicians’ children do this.

        so what? if you can find evidence of illegality, indict them and take them to court. I don’t see you crying foul over Trump’s kids doing the same… double standard much? lmao

        I cannot bring myself to care about the only one to have to actually stand in congress and try to justify it.

        Once again, why would any private citizen who doesn’t hold pubic office have to justify anything to you, especially when there’s no evidence they broke the law— especially by being dragged in font of congress? you keep refusing to answer this question.
