    It is not remotely dubious.

    Trump has spent ~276 years worth of presidential salary golfing and nearly every instance gas taken place at his own privately owned resorts. He charges secret service members for the use of his golf carts. His hotels surge the cost of renting properties when his inauguration delegation stays nearby or when the RNC attends.

    All require your tax dollars and direct them to his privately owned resorts.

    Defend it and stop inventing bullshit about Democrats.

    Pretty much like the sect type fawning adulation some Republicans have for Trump?

    Yea, she did. She transmitted classified materials through a private server. That is a violation of the law. In fact, it's a felony. She did so well over 100 times per the IG report.

    No prior SOS ever set up a private server in order to escape oversight. No prior SOS ever transmitted the numbers of classified documents as Hillary did. The Hillary-loving State Department came out and claimed that Colin Powell transmitted two classified documents through his private email account, but Powell vehemently disputed that allegation.

    Still why did you support a government official setting up a private server to conduct the people's business? Is it your view that government officials should be able to do anything they like? Do you support government employees sending top-secret documents through Yahoo, etc.? It sounds like you do.

    It's "bullshit" that Hunter Biden was handsomely paid by Burisma shortly after his dad became Obama's lead on Ukraine?

    Some, perhaps, but not nearly like the numbers of Democrats that will defend any amount of crime and corruption by Democrats and then vehemently deny that they did anything wrong. There's no comparison.

    Powell did use a private server, just like Hillary.

    And if you bothered to read the investigation report, you would note that the law requires intentional or reckless conduct. She did neither.

    No, it seems that is not bullshit. It also seems to me that is the way business is done, especially in the USA. No point putting a person on the Board if they can't open doors, is there.

    Not bullshit, just not evidence of criminality or wrongdoing.

    Yea it is. It doesn't cost the government anything for Trump to play gold on his own course. Trump requires Secret Service protection whether he's at the White House or anywhere else. I doubt that you complained about Obama playing golf, did you?

    You will find many conservatives here who are clearly committed to defend any amount of crime committed by Trump and his Administration. Will you be one of them?

    Except that Hunter never would have gotten the job had the U.S. NOT sent $1 BILLION to Ukraine. Joe Biden needed that prosecutor fired because there was big money on the line for him personally. That is utter theft and corruption.

    I've criticized Trump for many things. If you can show me a crime that Trump has committed while in office, I'll be happy to condemn him for it. Fair enough?

    You will get reported if you continue to intentionally edit posts - especially like the following where I explicitly gave you detailed examples for how your taxpayer dollars are being spent and sent to Trump's privately owned resorts.

    Trump vacations and golfs twice as often as Obama and sends all of his time at his privately owned resorts, unlike Obama.

    Oh! Right. Can you produce some comparative figures which support that?

    Not necessarily evidence of a crime in a court of law, but certainly evidence of wrongdoing, of corruption.

    ....wait.

    You are trying to claim that Hunter got the job in 2014 because of funding delivered more than a year later?

    I didn't "edit" anything, I simply only quoted the part to which I responded. I see that reasoning and logical thought isn't your forte.

    He got the job on the promise that money would flow to Ukraine. The timeline is secondary.

    Sure. Putting international vital under suspension despite authorisation that it be paid immediately, said authorisation coming from Congress and the OBM.

    How the **** does Burisma Oil have control or care about money sent to Ukraine's government?
