Letter: Bidens don’t pass smell test

Let’s get real regarding Joe and Hunter Biden: Who in their right mind wouldn’t think this whole thing with Ukraine does not pass the smell test? Giving someone with no experience $50,000 a month, or a $600,000-a-year salary, and not raise a few eyebrows? Then on top of all that, saying they never discussed the matter between them? Riding on Air Force One all those hours going to and from the Ukraine plus playing golf with his new employer?

I travel quite a bit, and when I am on a plane I have long conversations with people I don’t even know. Hunter doesn’t even talk to his dad? Really?

I guess if you’re a Democrat it all makes perfect sense and is standard operating procedure. Then the president questioned everyone involved, and the whole world comes to a end and the impeachment starts. Talk about double standards with a do-nothing Congress, which has practically handed out more subpoenas than passed bills and with no plan for Americans’ future regarding health care or upgrading our infrastructure. Unreal!
