Right wing lies. Payments for influence are legal.

It is legal for a foreign country to pay the VP of the US to get favorable policies? Really? Is their a cap on how much they can pay?

Actually it is almost certainly legal. Under McDonnell v. US, it is only illegal if the bribe is paid in exchange for an "official act" and "official act" means a "formal exercise of governmental power." Setting up a meeting or urging some other official to do something doesn't count. And since the VP has no formal power at all over foreign policy, he could not possibly have done an "official act."

Really?

He had no formal power to do that. He may have advised Obama to order it or something. But the VP can't do that on his own authority. If you think otherwise, cite the statute giving him that power.

You realize that Biden did not make that decision or take that action himself, right'? He was acting under Obama with bi-partisan support from the Hill, as well as with our allies. This was all well covered during the first Trump impeachment, but sure, keep plying the lies and half-truths that are easily disproven.

This issue of buying influence in DC transcends both parties and needs to stop!

His money came from the appreciate of a house he bought in the 1970's, refurbished himself and then sold when he became VP, and from his post VP book deal. Period. All of his ethics filings are on record at the US Senate. he has also disclosed all of his tax forms since the 1970's.

There is no "both sides" here.

This article has much more information.....
And, I find this part curious since not one person on this board has complained about this like they did with Trump:

"Other sources of income include a cottage in Wilmington, Delaware, which the Secret Service reportedly rented. Between 2010 and 2016, the Bidens took in about $17,000 of net earnings per year from the property."

We shall see now, won't we? And, I have heard this is part of what this whistleblower's complaint is about.

No, we won't see because this is just yet another made-up scandal that will spin around the right wing bubble without any facts or evidence to back it up.

Great, then please tell me:
1) what country paid him
2) when they paid him
3) how much they paid him
4) how they paid him
5) what the specific official act was
And then provide your supporting evidence.

Biden did not fire Shokin and Shokin was not investigating Burisma. Biden was one of several, including EU, IMF, who told Ukraine there would not be more assistance until there was an honest prosecutor who investigated corruption rather than enabling it as Shokin was doing. Shokin was going after the anti-corruption investigators who were not under his control. Shokin was removed by an overwhelming vote of the Ukrainian parliament two months after Biden’s visit, after Christine Lagarde of IMF made it clear the change had to be made before any more money could be released. It was in all the papers. Where have you MAGA dopes been?

DP... you will soon find out once this charade and cover-up is exposed.

Explain to me why the Biden campaign hasn't yet hired its team?

Secret Service rents quarters when they are protecting officials. Like the Secret Service rented overpriced rooms at Mar-A-Lago and apartments at Trump Tower and bungalows at other Trump properties and a basement apartment in Kalorama so the detail protecting Ivanka and Jared had a place to take a shit. Biden charged them market rent and got the whole thing cleared beforehand.

Where have you people been for the past 4 years? None of this is new. It’s the same bad faith allegations.

Oh look, it's the same idiotic nonsense every Q nut and conspiracy theorist always spouts and never gets wise to after it inevitably fails again and again and again to materialize.

In other words, you have no idea what Biden did. And you have no evidence that he did it. But you're really really sure he's covering it up. Because...reasons.
