Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) accidentally revealed more evidence of corruption in the Trump administration’s dealings with Ukraine in the course of his investigation into Hunter Biden, according to a letter from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR).
“Hochstein told the investigation that former Energy Secretary Rick Perry “inappropriately pressured the Ukrainian government” to place a Houston-based businessman named Robert Bensch on the board of Naftogaz, while other DOE officials pressed Kyiv to sign an agreement with a “private business entity connected to Mr. Bensh,” the letter reads.”
"“Senate Republicans released the resulting report Wednesday morning, noting that “the extent to which Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board affected U.S. policy toward Ukraine is not clear.””
It’s ‘not clear’ because there’s literally no evidence of this happening at all. It’s sort of like saying “The extent to which Trump’s speeches affect the tides of the ocean is not clear”. It’s the BEST kind of useless weasel statement.
Ron Wyden Layeth the Smacketh Downeth on On Ron Johnsonwax and he left Ron Johnsonwax with a shining he’ll never forget…or maybe Ron Johnsonwax is too stupid to figure that out and he’ll blunder again!
There really is no bottom with these Repuglicans: venal corruption, fraud, crassness, hypocrisy, all of it forever and all of it lower than before; it’s just turtles all the way down.
ETA: Can’t pass up a post on the venal corruption of Perry without a flashback to the sorely missed Molly Ivins; e.g.,
This, in turn, brings up the interesting role of coincidence in the life of Gov. Goodhair. Last summer, the Guv appointed an Enron executive to the state’s Public Utilities Commission and, the next day, Perry got a check for $25,000 from Ken Lay. He explained this, to everyone’s satisfaction, as being “totally coincidental.”
