Not long ago, Impeached Resident Donald Trump*, Fuhrer of the Republican Reich, withheld the Congressionally mandated military aid to Ukraine, and blackmailed Ukrainian President Zelensky to find or manufacture dirt on Joe Biden, arising from his son’s questionable employment at Burisma. Burisma is the Ukrainian gas company and was notorious for corruption when Hunter was there. But Trump* and his Reich handled the crime with such extreme incompetence, that they accomplished only Trump’s impeachment to become Trump*. Still needing dirt on the Biden’s, the Republican Reich has called in Trump’s* boss to do the job right, Vladimir Putin [R-RU].
With President Trump facing an impeachment trial over his efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter Biden, Russian military hackers have been boring into the Ukrainian gas company at the center of the affair, according to security experts.
The hacking attempts against Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company on whose board Hunter Biden served, began in early November, as talk of the Bidens, Ukraine and impeachment was dominating the news in the United States.
It is not yet clear what the hackers found, or precisely what they were searching for. But the experts say the timing and scale of the attacks suggest that the Russians could be searching for potentially embarrassing material on the Bidens — the same kind of information that Mr. Trump wanted from Ukraine when he pressed for an investigation of the Bidens and Burisma, setting off a chain of events that led to his impeachment.
The Russian tactics are strikingly similar to what American intelligence agencies say was Russia’s hacking of emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential campaign. In that case, once they had the emails, the Russians used trolls to spread and spin the material, and built an echo chamber to widen its effect… [emphasis added]

Russia is trying to steal another election for Putin’s Pet Pervert, but exactly what are they up to? Both Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell have coverage:
Rep. Adam Schiff: NYT New Russian Hacking Report ‘Deeply Disturbing’
Fmr. FBI Official: ‘This Is A Full-On Attack On Our 2020 Election’
Here are the possibilities I see:
- Russia is fishing for dirt, because they think Biden would beat their puppet, Trump*.
- Russia thinks Trump* can beat Biden, and think their investigation will make Biden more likely to win.
- Russia is just trying to create chaos an confusion to frustrate American voters and turn them off to the process.
- Russia want’s Biden to win the nomination and found dirt on Joe and Hunter to spring as an October surprise.
The last choice worries me most, but I do have a suggestion. Joe and Hunter should both volunteer to testify at Trump’s* impeachment trial to show they have nothing to hide. On the other hand, if there is something to hide, Joe should drop-out now for the sake of the nation.
RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
NYT: Great videos and report(s) …this bs worked the first time by the R’s….(Russians & the blessings of dt, his cronies, and Republicans) so why not do it again? Russia is sowing discord, and dt is lapping it up.
We must make our vote count!!
I agree with your #4 assessment, that Joe and Hunter should testify to clear the air. Or..like you wrote, Joe should drop out of the race.
Good post, thx, Tom.
OR –
5. They have found no dirt because there is none, but they are planning a dump of so many records that there will not be time to go through it all, and the sheer volume of nothing will be effectively used to smear Joe/Hunter as happened to Hillary.
6. They have found no dirt because there is none, but they have effectively managed to create fake dirt which will cinvince gullible Americans that there is a there there.
Remember we are talking about Russia here, which means Republicans, though not by that name. They never tell the truth when a lie will do as well or better.
Of course it may also be something even MORE devious. I can be devious, but not to the degree that Republicans can be.
I was going to add your #6 WRT Vlad planting malicious material on Burisma’s servers.
Without a doubt, that would produce quite the “October Surprise” of “Look what we just found on further digging”
#3 has much traction for me. Distraction, and accompanying frustration, are weapons they have used to good advantage before. The Caucuses are coming! The Caucuses are coming! LOL
I think, at best, it would be unwise for the Bidens to volunteer to testify in *Rump’s Impeachment trial – and at worst, downright foolish.
While one can certainly raise questions about the wisdom of Hunter Biden’s judgment in joining Burisma’s board when his father had a high-profile role in working with Ukraine’s government. But after extensive investigation, nothing has been found to even suggest malfeasance.
The Bidens would just be a sideshow used by republicans to solely benefit *Rump.
I think Nameless makes a good case against the Bidens volunteering to testify in Trump’s impeachment trial; the Republicans would only be too happy if they offered such a great diversion.
Joe Biden will not withdraw from the race, that would amount to admitting there has been something going on behind the screens or to admitting defeat, neither of which Joe Biden’s ego would allow him to do. And ego is what it is all about with Joe Biden, not about what is good for the nation. He has certain characteristics in common with Trump and this is one of them. Perhaps this is why he is so popular?
Crazy to read what pUtin will do to keep the idiot in the W. H.
I agree with Naneless and Lona that it wouldn’t be wise for Joe and Hunter to testify. Feel they would make matters even worse.
Plus we know that Joe Biden isn’t even thinking of removing himself from running for President. He has screwed up numerous times that he isn’t one that’s currently ranking high on the list.
Thanks and Hump Day Hugs to all.
Consider this, please. We want certain witnesses, such as Jon Bolton, subpoenaed and called. There’s no way in hell the four republicans we need to sign off on that will agree to giving us the ones we want without giving Republicans the ones they want. Joe and Hunter are on top of their list and they won’t have a choice about testifying. It they say now, that they are willing to testify, as Bolton has, they build public confidence that they have nothing to hide.
