'Nothing Has Changed': Another Witness Tells GOP She Saw No Corruption By Joe Biden

Karen Tramontano said she knew of no financial arrangements between Joe and Hunter Biden related to Hunter’s work.

WASHINGTON ― The head of a Democratic lobby shop that represented a Ukrainian energy firm told lawmakers on Monday she was unaware of any involvement by President Joe Biden in his son Hunter’s business deals.

Republicans sought a transcribed interview with Karen Tramontano, CEO of Blue Star Strategies, as part of their impeachment inquiry against Biden. Their chief accusation is that the Ukrainian gas company Burisma bribed Biden for a favor back when he was vice president during the Obama administration.

“Neither Hunter Biden nor then Vice President Joe Biden had any financial or other involvement in my firm’s work with Burisma,” Tramontano told lawmakers, according to an opening statement obtained by HuffPost.

“I am also not aware of any financial arrangements or compensation to then Vice President Biden related to his son’s business dealings with Burisma or otherwise,” Tramontano said.

They're so delusional, so crooked and criminal... they believe everyone else in the world is just like them. And, in truth, everyone *around* them is as crooked as they are. That's the bubble they live in. So sad... Biden is a total mystery to them; something they've probably never met in their lifetime before -- a real, honest, sincere person confident in his own skin. Too bad they're too far gone to try it themselves. It feels a hell of a lot better than what they have to live in each day!

at one time or another, got a job or recieved compensation becaue of someone they knew or were related to. In fact, it's pretty much how things are done in our society. There is nothing wrong with your relatives being part of your network.

Now, I know they are having this fishing expedition because they think they will find something illegal that went on. And do you know why they are so confidant they will find something? That's right. Because they are all guilty of doing it themselves at some point.

Justice matters.

who falsely claims Joe Biden is the most corrupt POTUS in History (while the most corrupt one is himself).

Repeat a lie over and over until it becomes the truth (without any evidence provided) to the cult followers-believers.
