The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Republicans here keep flogging the Burisma dead horse, never finding any actions that Joe Biden took as vice president that benefited Burisma. Even their star witness, Devon Archer, said firing the prosecutor in Ukraine was actually bad for Burisma.

So, folks, does that at least have the appearance of a president and top White House advisor who've been bought and at least warrant a senate inquiry?
