That was a distraction! Sabotage!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So let me get this straight. We have Vice President Biden in a video talking about withholding aid to Ukraine because they are investigating his son and we have no evidence that President Trump actually withheld aid, so we are investigating President Trump. Amazing.<\/p>\n<p>The interview also includes the following statement:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>HIMES: The other thing, of course, Joe\u00a0Biden&#8217;s son is on that witness\u00a0list.\u00a0They&#8217;re gonna try to do exactly what\u00a0you were pushing back on Senator\u00a0Paul for doing.\u00a0They would like to bring Joe\u00a0Biden&#8217;s son in front of the\u00a0American people to discuss his\u00a0role on the board of Burisma and as you pointed out with Senator Paul, <em>we can have a long conversation\u00a0whether the sons and daughters\u00a0of high-ranking officials should do\u00a0that sort of thing.\u00a0That has nothing to do &#8212; absolutely nothing to do &#8212; with\u00a0the actions of the United States\u00a0president in extorting Ukraine<\/em>\u00a0in a way that damage our\u00a0national security.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wow.
