What are the odds that Joe Biden, John Kerry, Mitt Romney, the Clintons, Speaker Pelosi and George Soros all have connections to the Ukraine? Hmmmm
Wonder why Romney would do that? Let’s see! For starters, Romney entered the Senate race with the help of Never Trumper’s and the reason was to stop the Repub’s whenever he could from helping the President in his agenda. The people of Utah are not getting any Republican help because Romney is a Never Trumper.
This is not unusual – Utah Dem’s voted for Bernie on Super Tuesday over Biden. The reason is that a lot of the Hollyweed folks have been radicalized with the Obama disease and moved to Utah from CA because of the high taxes.
In Washington this is known as bi-partisanship. When one of the parties finds a ripe plum, they let the folks across the aisle have a share.

US intel, Romney figure joined board of Ukraine gas company: Burisma
October 5, 2019 by Sharyl Attkisson
Joseph Cofer Black
According to an article published in the Huffington Post shortly after President Trump was inaugurated, a former top CIA official joined the board of Burisma, Ukraine’s largest provider of natural gas.
Burisma is the oil and gas company at the center of a controversy about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, who also served on Burisma’s board.
The article says that Joseph Cofer Black would be “leading the company’s security and strategic development efforts.” Black had served in various CIA positions under Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush.
According to reports, Cofer Black was a “top Romney aide.”

So many politicians hooked their family.& friends up in Ukraine. And Pelosi’s son was in Ukraine working in the energy field. John Kerry’s step-son, Chris Heinz, admitted working with Hunter Biden but says he quit because of Hunter’s risky business.
Beginning to believe Ukraine’s gas company was a money laundering front. Look into Podesta brothers..

Romney may vote against Trump again — this time with some bite
Aaron Blake
March 6, 2020
Mitt Romney became persona non grata in certain parts of the conservative movement last month by becoming the first senator of a president’s own party to ever vote to remove them from office.
Now, he could throw another wrench in President Trump’s and the GOP’s efforts to dig up dirt on the Bidens — this one with more practical impact.
Romney indicated Thursday that he is skeptical about the need for the Senate Homeland Security Committee to issue a subpoena related to Hunter Biden’s work for Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy company.
“I would prefer that investigations are done by an independent, nonpolitical body,” Romney told The Post’s Mike DeBonis. “There’s no question the appearance is not good.”
Romney also told reporters the effort “appears political” and said, “I think people are tired of these kind of political investigations.”
While Romney’s vote to remove Trump was essentially a symbolic one, that wouldn’t be the case in the committee. Republicans have a 8-to-6 majority, meaning Romney’s vote, when combined with the six Democrats on the committee, would deadlock it at 7-7 and prevent the subpoena from being issued. (Ohio GOP Sen. Rob Portman hasn’t committed to voting for the subpoena yet, either.)
The chairman of the committee, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), has set the vote for Wednesday. The subpoena seeks documents from Blue Star, a Democratic public affairs firm, about Hunter Biden’s role on the Burisma board.
There has been no evidence produced that Hunter Biden did anything illegal, even as it’s generally acknowledged that he was profiting off his father’s time as vice president. Trump’s initial conspiracy theory about the situation involved the idea that then-vice president Joe Biden did something corrupt by forcing out a Ukrainian prosecutor who had at one point investigated Burisma. But there are myriad logical flaws in that argument, and during impeachment proceedings Trump’s legal team largely shelved it and instead focused on the idea that Hunter Biden had done something wrong.
Johnson indicated he’d pursue the subpoena in letters sent last week and then on Sunday, one day after Joe Biden revitalized his campaign with a win in the South Carolina primary. Biden then followed that up with stream of wins on Super Tuesday that put him at the top of the race to become the Democratic nominee.
Trump seems to suddenly have his interest in Hunter Biden and Burisma rekindled. After he and his party went weeks following impeachment without invoking the issue much, Trump on Wednesday night told Fox News that Hunter Biden and Burisma would be a fixture of a potential matchup with Joe Biden in the general election.
Trump noted that Democrats hadn’t used the issue against Biden and said that “wouldn’t happen with the Republicans, I can tell you.”
“That will be a major issue in the campaign,” Trump said. “I will bring that up all the time, because I don’t see any way out for them. I don’t see how they can answer those questions. I hope they can. I’d actually prefer it that they can’t.”
Romney preventing the issuing of a subpoena would be a setback in those efforts, clearly. But it wouldn’t be all that surprising in the context of his comments about Hunter Biden. When he voted to remove Trump, he indicated he saw little more than a political effort in the efforts to launch the investigation.
“With regards to Hunter Biden, taking excessive advantage of his father’s name is unsavory but also not a crime,” Romney said. “Given that in neither the case of the father nor the son was any evidence presented by the president’s counsel that a crime had been committed, the president’s insistence that they be investigated by the Ukrainians is hard to explain other than as a political pursuit. There is no question in my mind that were their names not Biden, the president would never have done what he did.”
But the vote would be notable for one key reason: Romney has come under withering attack from conservatives and from Trump. He was banned from the Conservative Political Action Conference and saw conspiracy theorists try to tie him to Burisma through a former political adviser. Trump himself promoted those attacks and lodged some of his own, including calling Romney a “disgrace” and a “grandstander.” He even criticized Romney for invoking his faith in making his decision on impeachment.
If the whole effort was meant to punish Romney for his apostasy or dissuade him from further acts of disobedience, it doesn’t appear to have worked terribly well.
Trump has had great success in keeping the GOP troops in line, but not so much with Romney. Even though polling showed a strong majority of Utahn’s opposed Trump’s impeachment, reactions to Romney’s vote were more positive than negative. The same poll showed 60 percent of Utah Republicans disapproved of the decision, but that’s far less blowback than we’ve seen with other Republicans who have earned Trump’s very public ire.
(Utahn’s couldn’t quite stomach a censure mark for Romney with him being a Mormon in stature only. But the State should reconsider a recall since he is a Rino and not a true conservative. It is all about money for Romney.)
The flip side of going to war with Romney, of course, is that it might not work. And in a closely divided Senate, sometimes you need that vote. Wednesday could drive that home, if Romney votes like he seems to be inclined. (He hasn’t committed yet, instead saying he would review the available information.) And to the extent Romney continues to delegitimize the Hunter Biden attacks, that’s an arrow in the Democrats’ quiver, too.

Why is that – maybe he has some stakes (steaks) in the freezer which are branded “Burisma?”
