Intros Hercshmann and says he has experience in gas business.
Eric Herschmann
Additional evidence Dems never mentioned.
Ukraine had a particularly bad corruption problem.
2019: Under a [President] Biden admin, Hunter says he'll avoid the appearances of conflicts of interest.
[he is presenting a more "big picture" view and reviews what we've seen in previous presentations, so only listed really new info]
Great side by side:
May 12, 2014: "R. Hunter Biden will be in charge of the holdings' legal unit"
Oct 12, 2019: "At no time was Hunter in chage of company's legal affairs" 2:19 PSD
What actually transpired w/HB & Burisma?
Document: Chris Heinz email to State Dept saying he was not involved in Burisma
State Dept did nothing with this info that Sec. of State Kerry's step-son sent to them.
2014 - 2017: VP Biden spoke many times railed against corruption in Ukraine
This was the same time that his son was raking in a lot of cash from most corrupt company there.
Why did he do this? Why has no one every investigated? 2:29 PSD
July 25 phone call:
Call was scheduled; others were on the line.
POTUS did not follow all the talking points; but he's doesn't have to.
"What Schiff tried to create for the Emerican people is completely detached from reality."
Doesn't make sense that POTUS would try to "shake down" Zelensky in a public conversation.
Zelensky didn't act desperate to visit the WH; ok to meet in Poland, contrary to what House mgrs implied.
[Withholding of support: Z didn't know….]
Some of VP's advisors concerned that Hunter's behavior would reflect badly on Biden.
But advisors were intimidated bc they had been previously "screamed at." 2:41 PST
Last Thurs, Jeffries spoke about his std for abuse of power (to obtain a corrupt personal benefit)
Where were they when "Pres. Obama had violated their standard"?
They want one system of justice for Dems and another for everyone else.
Mar 26, 2012: Obama met with Russian Pres. Medvedev,
saying on a hot mic he'd have more flexibility after his election (re missile defense)
He was willing to barter away the safety of our troops/allies in order to influence the 2012 election
The case against Obama would have been far stronger.
This was a "direct and unquestionable quid pro quo" betw Russia & US.
Also scrapped idea to set up missile bases in Poland [to defend the West]
Pres. Obama caved on missile defense in late 2009.
March 2012: Hot mic moment
March 2014: Russia invaded Ukraine
(and Obama refused to provide lethal aid to Ukraine so it could defend itself)
Clip about "urgency" of impeachment, comparing with sitting on Articles for a month
What happens to natl security argument??
Partisan impeachment: creates disunity (quote Nadler from 1998)
House mgrs don't trust the American people to choose their own President.
Let the American people choose.
