The United States Senate is weighing an investigation into Joe Biden’s dealings with Ukraine as vice president after his son’s business ties to the Eastern European country have come under scrutiny.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, is reportedly considering an investigation into the former Vice President, according to sources that spoke to the Washington Post. The senator, himself, appeared to confirm an investigation was likely when speaking to reporters about the topic on Wednesday.
“We have and will continue to gather information and conduct oversight on alleged misconduct within government agencies,†Johnson said.
The move comes after President Donald Trump suggested the Ukrainian government investigate Hunter Biden’s tenure on the board of directors of Burisma Holdings. The younger Biden joined the company in 2014, purportedly making as much as $83,000 per month, to consult on legal services. The appointment immediately raised questions from ethics watchdogs in both the U.S. and Europe about the true nature of his role, since he possessed no background in either the energy industry or Ukraine.

What's to "Weigh"? Begin the investigation, You already have Biden on record bragging about hsi getting the prosecutor fired and shortly thereafter Hunter is getting 50K per month to SIT ON A BOARD.

Ok,translated,this means,"Back off on Trump or we will go after Slow Joe."
From MY POV,they are shooting themselves in the feet if they don't go after the entire DNC.
Yeah,this does mean the DNC would go after the entire RNC.
I don't see that as a bad thing because we MIGHT end up with a government ran by Senators and Congresscritters that weren't being blackmailed into submission.

The chief political argument against this is, "Using the power of government to eliminate a Presidential candidate is wrong." This was the excuse used by the Pubbies to let the Hillary Clinton email scandal slide. That argument should have been rendered inoperative when Obastard really did use the power of the National Government to try to destroy a sitting president.
Being a candidate for President should not be a "Get out of jail free!" card. Just. Do. It.
