1. 'Right Wing Folks' should have activated your Spidey Sense for bullshit, ineffective though it routinely is.
2. It sounds like it should be breaking news, breathlessly communicated by Fox News. That would be my first stop if I were you. Their news division at least has some minimal standards for facts and accuracy.
3. One America News is for shit too.
Moderators, if no corroboration for the post I'm responding to is forthcoming, from either the poster or from any recognizably credible news source, please remove the post.
I'd say by 11:00 pm EST tonight should be sufficient time for the 'story' to be confirmed as either breaking or uncorroborated.
One America News's Ukraine-Rudy Giuliani exposé is a stunning piece of propaganda
Aaron Blake, The Washington Post Published 2:25 pm EST, Monday, December 16, 2019
The document appears to be a translated version of one posted last month by right-wing journalist Michael Coudrey. (The Washington Post has reached out to the Latvian government to authenticate the document, but has not heard back.)
So what does it show? It essentially shows that Burisma paid four people through these transfers. Who are these people? They are all people who were employed by Burisma at the time. Archer and Hunter Biden served on its board, while Apter joined as chairman around the same time. Hunter Biden said he was convinced to join the board by the fourth, Kwasniewski, who is the former president of Poland.
Somebody in Latvia apparently regarded these money transfers as being suspicious, but there isn't much to go on here. And even if the money was laundered, does it actually implicate Hunter Biden in the laundering? (There have long been legitimate questions about potential corruption at Burisma.)
The document for some reason names four people as receiving the funds, but it only mentions Hunter Biden as being involved "in corruption affair." Why is that? You'd think the document might explain, but OANN doesn't appear to have probed that.
Money laundering experts said there doesn't seem to be much there there.
"By itself, it does not look like money laundering," said Moyara Ruehsen, a money laundering expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. "For there to be a money laundering crime, there must be a predicate offense. . . . Just moving legitimately earned funds from one shell company to another is not money laundering. Keep in mind that 95 % of shell companies are legitimate and used for legitimate tax minimization strategies and other legitimate accounting strategies."
She added: "As for Hunter Biden, if he earned legitimate consulting fees and reported these fees to the IRS, then he is not guilty of anything.
If Burisma Holding committed tax evasion by underreporting income or committed money laundering by moving funds that were actual bribe payments, then they might be guilty of bribery and tax evasion and money laundering. But if Hunter Biden didn't knowingly pay or collect any bribes or knowingly underreport his income, then he isn't guilty of anything." This evidence, like basically all that has come before it, is remarkably thin and relies upon strained inferences. One of Giuliani's sources, Andriy Derkach, has likewise made a point of documenting how much money Burisma paid Hunter Biden without explaining exactly what he's alleging that would be illegal.
We know, though, that Hunter Biden was hired for a lucrative job he probably wouldn't have gotten if his dad hadn't been vice president of the United States. The actual allegation Trump was pushing Ukraine to investigate isn't that; it was that the elder Biden effectively got Shokin fired because Shokin was investigating Burisma and threatening the younger Biden's payday.
This allegation has always ignored the fact that U.S. and Ukrainian officials have said the Burisma investigation had long been dormant, that Shokin was removed because he wasn't tough enough on corruption, and that many Western leaders wanted Shokin out - not just Biden.
Shokin has disputed this and has claimed rather dubiously that his investigation of Burisma was, in fact, the only reason he was removed as prosecutor (even as there were clearly other reasons Western leaders opposed him).
So, we have the word of some Ukrainian officials of questionable repute, undergirded by a rather thin amount of documentary evidence.
But at least they have a sympathetic news outlet to broadcast these dots for people who would very much like to connect them.
conix, see - dropdeadfred, Yeah, and here is your source, John Solomon.
----- From yours
"The issue of potential corruption involving the Bidens is at the heart of the impeachment effort, as Democrats are accusing President Trump of attempting to “pressure” Ukraine to investigate the matter. "
In fact it is NOT at the heart of the impeachment question except in the minds of those who continue to attempt to mislead and distract the American public (people as YOU) by continually trying to put it there. -----
Some of the worst players involved in the Ukraine hoax conspiracy fraud - Stephen Bannon, Peter Schweizer, Robert Mercer $$$s, Hannity, Giuliani, Viktor Shokin, Mike Pompeo, and your journalist source John Solomon - fomented on the American public are mentioned in ..

Fox News Internal Document Bashes Pro-Trump Fox Regulars for Spreading 'Disinformation'Article
Source: The Daily Beast
Fox News’ own research team has warned colleagues not to trust some of the network’s top commentators’ claims about Ukraine.
An internal Fox News research briefing book obtained by The Daily Beast openly questions Fox News contributor John Solomon’s credibility, accusing him of playing an “indispensable role” in a Ukrainian “disinformation campaign.”
The document also accuses frequent Fox News guest Rudy Giuliani of amplifying disinformation, as part of an effort to oust former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, and blasts Fox News guests Victoria Toensing and Joe diGenova—both ardent Trump boosters—for “spreading disinformation.”
The 162-page dossier, entitled “Ukraine, Disinformation, & the Trump Administration,” was created by Fox News senior political affairs specialist Bryan S. Murphy, who produces research from what is known as the network’s Brain Room—a newsroom division of researchers who provide information, data, and topic guides for the network’s programming.
