We should, if we want to be fair, investigate
Hunter Biden’s economic dealings in Ukraine, as well. Does that mean we should be looking deeper
into how Jared Kushner’s family got foreign money for 666 Fifth Avenue, how Ivanka Trump
got 13 trademarks from the Chinese government, how she was able to expand her brand since
the president took office? I mean, giddy up, let’s do it. If we want to go down the road of the politics
of self-destruction, of everybody– criminalize all politicians on both sides of the aisle
and go after their family, yes, we can do that, but both sides are doing that. Nobody really should excuse themselves and
say, ‘Oh we’re holier than thou, Trump is evil.’ This is Rand Paul shooting himself and his
party in the foot by demanding that we look into Hunter Biden’s conflicts of interest. And while frankly it’s taken WAY too long
for the media to came back with this OBVIOUS rebuttal, the fact is the only thing we need
to do is point to the president’s own children who are currently reaping a windfall of profits
because of their dad’s job as president. That the right is seriously trying to decry
nepotism… in the Trump era… is just a new level of tone-deafness. But if Republicans truly, truly want to discuss
the appearance of improprieties with Hunter Biden (who is not running for office and isn’t
even a campaign surrogate for his father), then, sure, let’s “both sides” this—or as
Stephanie Ruhle says— I mean, giddy up, let’s do it. Yes, Hunter Biden did make roughly $50,000
a month at a Ukrainian energy firm. But Joe Biden didn’t call for Ukrainian prosecutor
Viktor Shokin’s ouster to protect Hunter’s job; he joined the European Union, the International
Monetary Fund, the World Bank, anti-corruption activists in Ukraine, and the rest of the
international community to dismiss him for IGNORING corruption. By replacing Shokin, it would INCREASE the
likelihood that Hunter’s energy company would be scrutinized. This was never about protecting Hunter Biden,
it was about fighting corruption. As for the right’s breathless attacks on
Hunter’s “$1.5 billion from China,” Hunter joined the board of Chinese fund BHR in 2013. In 2014, the fund sought to raise $1.5 billion
in capital. Again, this wasn’t a $1.5 billion check
into Hunter’s bank account, he was working on behalf of a private equity company to raise
capital. Hunter did ultimately take a 10% stake in
the fund– in 2017. Now, not only did Hunter receive ZERO compensation
as a board member, not only has he received NO return on his investment since becoming
an investor, but let’s think long and hard about who was president in 2017. So if you’re Trump and you’re claiming
Hunter used nepotism to supposedly enrich himself in China, maybe – just maybe – you
might want to make sure his dad was actually still Vice President first. But while we’re on the subject of nepotism,
let’s – oh I don’t know – take a …quick look at the Trump kids. Jared and Ivanka took in $82 million in income
last year, including $3.9 million that Ivanka made from her stake in the Trump International
Hotel in Washington, DC, which was become a way station for foreign dignitaries looking
to curry favor with the president. Now, I’m not claiming that Ivanka has lined
her pockets to the tune of millions of dollars as the DIRECT result of her father’s emoluments
clause violations… yeah, no that’s—that’s exactly what I’m saying. As of today, Ivanka Trump has been granted
a total of 21 trademarks from the Chinese government during Trump’s term. Now, you might remember Ivanka-branded products
from when Kellyanne Conway violated federal ethics rules by using her position to start
hawking Ivanka’s clothes on air— It’s a wonderful line, I own some of it. I fully– I’m gonna give a free commercial
here. Go buy it today, everybody. You can find it online. Or maybe you remember them from the PRESS
RELEASE that the White House issued to JOURNALISTS promoting Ivanka’s branded gold bracelet,
starting at $8,800 and up to $10,800. Or maybe you remember them from Ivanka’s
RNC speech, which Ivanka herself wasted no time turning into an advertisement to start
cashing in. Because what else would our federal government
be if not just one big commercial for the president’s daughter? As for Jared, the Kushner’s company bought
666 Fifth Avenue for $1.8 billion just prior to the 2008 economic crash and expectedly,
it became a massive financial burden on the company. A $1.4 billion mortgage was due in February,
so Kushner appealed to Qatar for investment help. He got no bites. Kushner then vocally supported a blockade
on Qatar in what some saw as retaliation. Ultimately, a firm did bail them out, and
its largest investor? Qatar. And surprise surprise, no more vocal calls
in support of any blockades. How convenient. As for Don Jr and Eric, they now control the
Trump Organization, which they pledged would have “no new foreign deals” while their dad
is in office. Yet – and I hope you’re sitting down for
this – that hasn’t been the case. They just sold a $33 million stake in a federally
subsidized housing complex, which had to be approved by HUD Secretary Ben Carson. They sold $3.2 million worth of land in the
Dominican Republic. In February 2018, Don Jr traveled to India
to sell more than $1 billion worth of luxury residential units built by the Trump Organization. The Trump Organization sold a $15.8 million
Trump Park Avenue penthouse (which had been previously occupied by Jared and Ivanka) to
Angela Chen, who runs a consulting firm with ties to the Chinese government. According to Forbes, “this price was 13
percent more than that paid for a comparable unit a year earlier, and that it sold at a
time when the building’s other units, on average, were selling for 25 percent less.” But who knows, maybe there were new… fixtures. In fact, while the Trump kids galivanted around
the globe to uphold their promise of totally, definitely not pursuing foreign business deals
while their father was in office, American taxpayers covered the cost of their security. According to NBC, taxpayers paid $97,830 for
a trip to Uruguay, $53,155 for a trip to Vancouver, and $16,738 for a trip to Dubai. But hey, it’s TOTALLY normal for our tax
dollars to cover security costs for “independent businesspeople” right? Even Trump’s cabinet has been siphoning
money into the Trump Organization. Mike Pence recently stayed at Trump’s Doonbeg
Resort in Ireland despite it being 181 miles away from his official meetings in Dublin. US military personnel have been staying at
Trump’s Turnberry resort in Scotland, a resort that lost $4.5 million in 2017 and
then was miraculously up $3 million in 2018 after becoming the hotel of choice when Trump
took over. Even Attorney General Bill Barr dumped $30,000
into Trump’s DC hotel for a holiday party. The Trump family’s entire business model
is to funnel money from US taxpayers to their companies into their own pockets. And they’re doing it on every front imaginable. The fact is, Hunter Biden recently made the
decision to step down from the board of BHR not as an admission of guilt but because of
the APPEARANCE of a conflict. Meanwhile, the Trump kids not only don’t care
about appearances, they’re literally reaping a surreal windfall of profits from their dad’s
job as president. So the fact that the right is ACTUALLY going
to use NEPOTISM as their weapon of choice heading into 2020, when Trump’s kids are making
themselves into millionaires multiple times over, day after day, would be laughable if
it wasn’t so sickening.
We are looking into the corruption of all politicians and if your name is up stop crying about well so and so did this and that. Just stop your the current politicians and we don't give a fuck about ancient f**** history
It's called hypocrisy.
It is sickening how the whole family is using their government positions for real estate deals and NO ONE has said anything about it
Giddy Up let's do it 😂😂😂 I say LET'S DO IT and shut the dars on these douchebags once and for all!!!
They bought 666th ave….. 666 …. these people are demons
Hey, modo..everytime you open your mouth ..you look like fool. Your occupants kids are the criminals like daddy . Rand is just ugly and immoral . He will lose as well .
Didnt Rand Paul go to Canada to get better healthcare . ? So, who hell is he to SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANYONE!! .
CHECK YOURSELF FUCKER!! .
Rand Paul…"Trump is evil"
You know you're up shit's creek without a paddle when you have to send this joke out to defend you. Hey Rand…been to any good beat downs lately?
He is just ripping us off and they are cheering him my God, how stupid are these poor people supporting him and can't feed their family's and he's using all of us. People wake up.
Jared and Ivanka, Donkey Jr and Eric, they all need to be investigated whether or not bidens son did anything wrong. Ivanka blatantly used her dad's office to make lots of money
It appears the Trump children are using their father presidency as their personal marketing and advertising business. And using tax dollars to fund the operation.
America, a kakistocracy & not a meritocracy.
Paul, you friggin idiot! You are the one who starting attacking a politician's children. Take yourself and the dead rat on your head gone and just disappear. You 15 minutes of fame has already overstayed your welcome.
Yes, investigate trumps crooks also. They fly on taxpayers money.
Hunter didn't fly on taxpayers money.
Emoluments violations
Consumed by greed! They’re just paving their way to the inferno of hell!

I really want to know when trump will be stopped???
Lindsey and randy Great pair they should be together or are they?
What a shit head. The repubs are darn right barbaric and will destroy our constitution if we don't stop them. Common sense is being bred out if the human race. Follow the money and find the crime. And yet, Trumps hats and ties are made in China. Nobody is paying attention to the fact that manufacturing jobs will never return to the US because of one simple reason. The average factory worker in China earns approx 3.65 an hour. No American will work for that and you can not pay less than min wage. Good paying jobs? We all knew that was shit talk.
If only his neighbor would have done a better job on this pathetic pos!
So you turn around on your own statement within seconds and try to claim it’s a waste of time going after trumps kids but not hunter Biden.
This was a fucking a Clickbait. Fuck you.
i would just like to commend the courage and forward thinking of the man that stomped shit out of this "human" whirligig.
Brian, this POS and phony Libertarian-who has become emblematic of a corrupt party and worse, seen more of insulting our intelligence. Sen. Rand, I’d would have hoped, the beating you took from your neighbor may have straighten your mind. I guess not.
Great stuff Brian.
As plenty have said before….”yeah, now do I
The Crime Family Trump. Do Ivanka, Jr, Eric and the cyborg previously know as Jared”. Giddy up
So the tRumps yet to break every laws, every moral code most live by and use daddy’s position to line their crooked pockets and all we hear are crickets from the media, the Dems and..,well…we know the Republikkkans will never stand up for America so I won’t even include them in the list of people I’d hope would stop the madness. Smh
THANK YOU!!! I think I just said the other day, would somebody PLEASE say something about the Trump clan… It sickens me to think that the Trump clan is profiting off the American Taxpayer. And another thing, when I travel for the military, I have to chose the cheapest flight, cheapest hotel, and cheapest rental car. I'm no accountant, but I have a feeling that the Trump resort in Ireland is a wee bit more expensive per night than the DoubleTree. Just sayin… As a former Republican, I find the level of hypocrisy in today's GOP absolutely disgusting…whatever happened to upholding and protecting the Constitution.
The RNC's chair person's uncle is Mitt Romney… Trump's ex press secretary is Mike Huckabee's daughter… Does Rand Paul think he would be a politician if it wasn't for his dad? We are seriously witnessing a monkey shit throwing fight when none of it matters, because all these fools are already covered in shit, so what's it matter? How about stop throwing shit and start washing the shit off?
are they even credible? their words ring hollow….especially if they're criticizing others for conflicts of interest when they appear to have substantially more of that.
The Trump Cult:The Art of the Self-Own
If you want to know what Trump is guilty of – look, listen, read everything he accuses Others of – because, That Is What He Is Guilty Of, not them. -"What Paul says about Peter, tells you all about Paul".
Rand Paul. Not a patch on his father.
What's that thing about threats foreign and domestic? Trump should be strung up and hung and any monies be returned to people
LAME REPLY. I HEARD IVANKA NOW COMPARES HERSELF TO GRACE KELLY. THE WHOLE FAMILY IS DELUSIONAL.
Ivanka Trump has no political experience and she is made the advisor to the Stormy Trump president ? LOL ! Shot himself in the foot.
Rand Paul didn’t you just make a solo run to Russia to lick Putin’s A$$??? Really??? Come on! Really???
hahaha what a LOSER Rand FY
"Giddee-up, let's do it" I love it, Stephanie you Ruhle!
Rand Paul is such a shit eater. He just wants his name in "lights" (so to speak). What a total "maroon"
Yes! Yes! Yes? But, are they LISTENING???
“giddy up, let’s do it”. 😂
Amen to that!
NOT TONE DEAF.

How in God’s Name can any normal American support these thieves? It just keeps getting worse by the hour, Take Them Out Of Government, and take back Democracy…
Yes we can do this blahh blahh. Why does anyone truly get into politics in the first place? Money is the reason. Trump and his kids do what the others have done multiplied thousands of times. By the way Rand Paul you suck dude.
He auditions daily for a place in the white house. I mean every time he's asked a question you never get a answer but he doesn't have a problem bringing up Joe Biden son and president Obama each and every time he opens his mouth.
Rand Paul is where he is because of his daddy too… giddy up.
Trumplethinskin and company, grifters, thugs, anti-American thieves.
They're all traders
Paul you stupid! 45 kids are stealing left and right
He DIDN'T mean to! He wanted to just do one side!
WOW Brian!!!… Like I said just recently… We sure could use a Young, Honest, Intelligent, Enlightened, Tell it like it is… Whippersnapper like yourself to whip this Country and "Future Administrations into shape!!!😃😍🤗😁😉…
And I might add… You are the "Only" one who can make me "Laugh" and at the same time… Give me "Hope"… At the Most Disparaging and Disheartening time in our Country's History!!!🤣😅😆😂… And… I'd pay Good Money to watch you Roast, T-RUMP, His Family and his Entire "Fright House" Administration!!!😃😁🤣😆😂🤗😍😉…
I mean the Kahonas on this Narcissistic, Compulsive Pathological Lying, Hippocratic, Overgrown Orange Man-Child… Saying… "It's Not about Politics"!!!… "It's All about Fighting Corruption"!!!😒… Seriously???… Says the Multiple time "Proven Crook"… Who's… "Champagne Chairman, Vice Chairman, National Security Council , and Personal Lawyer are ALL CONVICTED FELONS!!!😲???… UUUGGGHHH!!!😜😝😣😒😡😠
Thank you, Brian.
Brian what is your twitter account?
Meanwhile FATASS is playing golf, secret service is paying to use golf cart's….how Convenient huh!
Rand Paul is a chump. It is ridiculous to talk about Hunter Biden at all unless you want to talk about the trump children, right now, while their father is the president.
No matter how many times the right wing talking points are debunked they keep repeating the same lies over and over and and over. "Hillary sold our Uranium to the Russians." "Biden got the Ukraine prosecutor fired to stop investigation of Hunter." Give me a fucking break.
"Giddyup…lets do it" ..lol
Oh look, RON PAUL'S son has something to say.
All that money should be taken from them and given to the people… think of what could be done. Infrastructure, environmental cleanup, healthcare, reparations, education.
Thank You
Wow
With all the money Trump has you think you could buy his kids a couple of chins and some personalities
But Republicans will say he doesn't take a pay check lol I just wish trumpets would just say they don't care, just imagine if this was Obama doing this shit, they would be marching down Pennsylvania Av. Please one of YOU MF tell me you would be ok with it if it was Obama, bunch of fucking Hypocrites.
I love it when you bring out those facts! When one of my roommates starts to stick up for Moron, I bring these facts up to him especially about how much he's screwed off the taxpayers. They'll come back with Moron not taking that $400,000 income,and I laugh until tears while they huff & puff.
I also remind him that Kennedy only took $1.00 pay and didn't steal millions from taxpayers. Didn't have to, they DID have their own. Thank you!
republiKKKan, Rand Paul was one of TWO RepubliKKKans who voted AGAINST reauthorization of the 911 first responders bill saying our spending has gotten out of hand,!!! Agreed! 22 BILLION MORE in national debt since tRUMP and the republiKKKans took over! And guess what state Paul is from??? Yep! KENTUCKY, where MOSCOW MITCH AND THEIR RUSSIAN oligarch friends are from!! TRAITORS TO THE USA seem to come from KENTUCKY these days,!!! VOTE A BLUE TSUNAMI IN 2020 !!!….KENTUCKY, save AMERICA from these villains and vote out EVERY republiKKKan in your state!! …and EVERY other state too!!!
As they get away with all of this when it happens in plain sight tells us that they'll get away with this forever. These people are above the law while they should be in prison.
The GOP, FOX and Trump supporters at this point are all complicit. History will not look at them any differently than the Vichy French. Traitors.
Give them no quarter, remember who they are. They will try to say " I never" or "I didn't". Nonsense. You almost destroyed this country with your stupidity, now wear your shame.
This snowflake couldn't take the heat in CA. Got hassled by a New Yorker and immediately melted. do your Job, and you won't have to look over your shoulder.
Rand Paul is a partisan hack.
So, Rand, if we shouldn't investigate everybody and being destructive on both side of the isle, who SHOULD we investigate?
A former Vice President or a sitting President? Where is your focus? On vengeance for previous corruption or prevention of current corruption?
You know what? Don't answer that. We already know the answer……
2 min clip.
4 minutes of vomit.
Isn’t 666 the Anti Christ #
I think Brian has the best news show on you tube. Someone please tell him that Qatar rhymes with guitar.
Trump isn't rich, his friends are.
Circular firing squad.
A CARBON COPY OF LINDSEY GRAHAM
ANOTHER FLIP FLOPPER RAND PAUL WHO LACK CREDIBILITY AND INTEGRITY !
Trump is so corrupt!!! They are all going down in flames!!
this guy is hella Liberal. so hard to find non partisan objective political commentary.
At the vibrational level Trump operates from, his world is a self-reflective mirror. So, whatever he is accusing others of, guaranteed he/his administration/his family, are doing that very thing. He ads to that with a commonly used technique, it his style and use is in the extreme – misdirection. I cannot sully the art of prestidigitation, so I’ll choose instead to use this phraseology; when the ringmaster is directing your attention to a particular show or aspect of the show he is directing, you can be sure there is much going’s on elsewhere on the stage, not merely the obviously hidden workings behind the stage.
Investigate the Trump kids.
the right is evil and biden is alt right
His neighbor should have struck him mute.
his neighbor needs to beat some sense into him
giddy up, let's do it….lol
#VoteHimOut2020…then all are out of our government!
rand paul is a cunt
GIDDY UP LETS GO!!! LETS DRAIN THE WHOLE GODDAM SWAMP!!!
Snake tongues- SUCH INCREDIBLE HYPOCRISY!
Someone tell Ru-Paul "she" forgot her face…
God is revealing the Truth and Republicans are fighting against him. GOD WINS!
We have a phrase in the Philippines to this kind of corruption before… shady dealings under the table, over the table and including the table.
Rump paul is the one communicate with pigmy pig Vladimir and get the message to donal what he suppose to do
Trumps family needs 2 be in prison
No wonder his next door neighbor kicked his ass.
Ran Paul's best appearance since being photographed on a new aircraft carrie as the libertarian explained how Obama wasn't spending enough on defense. The guy's a breathing contradiction.
I usually say : "he tore her a new one" BUT this time " she tore him a new one"😱
Notice how these Republican idiots always holler impropriety on both sides ? It is the traitor orange gorilla and his traitorous cronies who have broke the law.
