Jim Himes: Hunter Biden on Board of Burisma ‘Has Absolutely Nothing to Do’ with Trump ‘Extorting’ Ukraine

‘They would like to bring Joe Biden’s son in front of the American people to discuss his role on the board of Burisma’

EXCERPT:

HIMES: "Well, of course, that’s been the strategy all along, of course, has been to attack the process. When you look at their witness list, you can tell what they’re dock. They’re doing one or two things, number one, they’re calling a number of witnesses we have already deposed. These are witnesses who aren’t going to say the president’s actions were okay. In fact, they’ll say they had serious concerns about it. They’ll say gosh I didn’t know this was going on, I wasn’t sure if this was illegal. That’s not a very strong defense. The other thing, of course, Joe Biden’s son is on that witness list. They’re going to try to do exactly what you were pushing back on Senator Paul for doing. They would like to bring Joe Biden’s son in front of the American people to discuss his role on the board of Burisma. As you pointed out with Senator Paul, we can have a long conversation about whether the sons and daughter of high ranking officials should do that sort of thing. That has nothing to do, absolutely nothing to do with the actions of the United States President extorting Ukraine in a way that damaged our national security."
