Sunday on ABC’s “This Week, Sen. Ted Cruz defended President Donald Trump’s effort to investigate Hunter Biden’s deal with Burisma.
Host George Stephanopoulos questioned the motivations of the investigation. He dismissed the allegations leveled at the former vice president’s son, to which Cruz noted there had been no sworn testimony from Hunter Biden regarding the matter.
Partial transcript as follows:
STEPHANOPOULOS: But, Senator Cruz, as you know in that phone call, the president never mentions the word corruption. He talks about CrowdStrike. He talks about the Bidens.
And back in September, you actually said that you wish the president didn’t go down that road to look into the Bidens, to call for investigations into the Bidens. So, what’s changed?
CRUZ: Well, look, what I said is there’s an appearance of impropriety, and that allows opponents to exploit it, to turn it into the kind of circus we’ve seen. But what I also said is there is real prima facie evidence of corruption.
You take, for example, the Bidens. We know that Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, was receiving up to $83,000 a month to serve on the board of the largest natural gas company in Ukraine, Burisma. Eighty-three thousand dollars a month, that’s a million dollars a year. That’s nearly ten times as much as ExxonMobil pays its directors.

We're all wondering when it will be that Hunter drowns himself in the bathtub after leaving an apologetic note. He's surely blown through all of the Burisma money, nobody will hire him because of his carefree drug abuse and me-me-me lifestyle, and his dad has run out of ways to support him.
I know that you love this stuff but this is Hunter Biden , not Joe Biden. While they are investigating lets investigate Ivanka, Jared , Trump Jr. and Eric.
Investigate them for what? Being part of daddy's business? Nothing unusual there. It is, however, very unusual for anyone to be on the board of directors of a business they know nothing about! Highly unusual unless you are a major stock holder, even then you know what the business is about!!
"I know that you love this stuff but this is Hunter Biden , not Joe Biden.."
You wanna see the video, 2:07? JOE Biden telling Ukrane to call off the dogs or lose their loan guarantee?? He was bragging about it.
But of course you already knew that..
Trump now needs to Investigate Democrats !!! Lock-em Up
2:07 Let me see if I got this straight. So they should investigate Trumps kids because Hunter Biden is a crack smoking , strip club frequenter, pos sleeping with his brothers wife and has 2 women pregnant at the same time. Oh and then there is Burmisa.
Did I get it all?
Do you know how much you sound like a 3 year old?
2:07 = a biased liberal democrat who cares more about protecting his party than revealing the truth. If there is wrongdoing on any side, it needs to be exposed and the guilty removed from office.
POTUS has Full Authority & it should have been said Many
times at the Kangaroo Hearings !!!!
