I wonder if Trump asked the Australian PM for help in investigating the corruption.  And why was Collins on the Board of Directors, what qualifications does he have for biotechnology?    Hmmmm another quid pro quo....

 

Maybe he was on the Board because of his large shareholding in the company?

 

How much did the Bidens invest in shares of the Ukrainian company for whom Biden Jr. was a director?

Am I smelling yet another false and defamatory bout of smears leveled at POTUS Trump? Er yes, it appears so. Just shameful how many baseless accusations have been thrown at one incredible man, and even more amazing how they slide off him like fried flounder fillets from a Teflon pan.

 

Yes, but he had the audacity to beat Hilary. Even after the DNC had cheated Bernie to get her as their candidate. They can't believe she lost and their hateful vengeance can never be assuaged.

 

Of course Hilary, the family of which she's matriarch, the family "foundation" etc are all whiter than white; never ever been involved in anything remotely dodgy and beyond reproach. She's PC with the right views you see.

Go on, then, let's see an example of his "criminality" from that record that you have.  This should be good!

Started when working with with his father, court cases when he settled out of Court, using bankruptcy multiple times to shaft supplies and employees, hiring illegals and so on. Here in Australia he was denied a licence to operate a casino due to his association with mafia. Should he live long enough after losing the Presidency no doubt all his activity with the banks and transactions with foreigners will come to light.

"Started when working with with his father, court cases when he settled out of Court"

That is not criminal activity.

 

"using bankruptcy multiple times..."

Bankruptcy is not criminal activity either

 

"hiring illegals"

Where has that been confirmed?   Hearsay or speculation doesn't count.

 

"Here in Australia he was denied a licence to operate a casino due to his association with mafia"

Associating with certain people is not a criminal activity.

As you should know, there was more to the decision to exclude his consortium's bid than just his 'associations', he was not "denied a licence".  The group that he was part of had their tender for the proposed project turned down for a number of reasons including financial viability, as did two other groups that submitted tenders.

Wondered what a trump supporter would come up with - no surprises. e.g. I know bankruptcy is not a criminal activity per see, but trumps methods were in effect criminal. Settling out of Court is an admission of guilt ergo criminal activity. trump organisation has been identified on numerous occasions as hiring illegals. We will see if trump will be prosecuted once his presidency ceases; remember there are criminal cases currently being investigated in N.Y. Being a member of the elite would not be surprised if trump is pardoned. In the meantime...

So no criminal activity at all, never mind per se, then.

 

Settling out of court is not an admission of criminal activity!

 

Your link describes no criminal activity either.

Q.E.D.

Why would a wealthy individual settle out of court if they are innocent of wrong doing? if trump lives long enough no doubt in my mind he will be found guilty of a number of criminal offences.
