John Kerry is super duper SHOCKED about this Trump Biden Ukraine mess. According to him, Presidents and administration officials aren’t supposed to have conversations like that with foreign leaders. 

“Former Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday said he’s in “absolute shock” over reports that President Trump asked Ukrainian leaders for information on former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 White House hopeful.

“My reaction is one of absolute shock and amazement that, apparently, within hours or days of the Mueller testimony, the president is on the telephone putting American foreign policy in hock while he extorts the leader of another country to Russia’s advantage,” Kerry said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.””

I honestly started laughing when I read that news report. The unmitigated GALL of John Kerry lecturing the Trump Administration about their foreign policy and an alleged whistleblower complaint that is based upon HEARSAY is both laughter-inducing and infuriating.

This is from a guy who thought a supremely awkward sing-a-long in Paris would wipe away the horror of the Bataclan terrorist attacks. This from a guy who snuck around behind America’s back and crafted the Iran Deal on Obama’s say so. This is from a guy who has been working behind the scenes and against American interests to try and salvage his pet Iran Deal.

Kerry has been carrying his shocked face around for a couple of days now.

What is really funny about all of this is that Kerry’s step-son, Chris Heinz, had ties to the Burisma energy firm via Devon Archer (Kerry’s former national finance co-chair for Kerry’s 2004 Presidential run) and Hunter Biden.

“At the time, Hunter Biden, now 49, and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of then-Secretary of State John Kerry, co-owned Rosemont Seneca Partners, a $2.4 billion private equity firm. Heinz’s college roommate, Devon Archer, was managing partner in the firm. In the spring of 2014, Biden and Archer joined the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company that was at the center of a U.K. money laundering probe. Over the next year, Burisma reportedly paid Biden and Archer’s companies over $3 million.”

According to reports and information obtained by the Washington Examiner, Heinz sent an email to Kerry’s top aides in the State Department distancing the company and therefore himself from Archer and Biden’s decision to join the Burisma Holdings board. According to the email, Chris Heinz stated that he nor any business, meaning Rosemont Seneca, benefitted from Burisma. 

“In 2014 and 2015, Burisma paid $3.4 million to a company called Rosemont Seneca Bohai LLC, according to the New York Times. That company paid Biden up to $50,000 a month, according to the report. During the same time period, Joe Biden pressured the Ukrainian government to fire its lead prosecutor who was investigating wrongdoing at Burisma, raising questions from critics about whether this was related to his son’s position at the gas company.”

So, Rosemont Seneca Bohai LLC was created without Chris Heinz’s knowledge?

But all of that’s ok. Everything to do with John Kerry sneaking around and negotiating that horrendous Iran Deal is ok. Was John Kerry shocked about this from Joe Biden?

Joe Biden brags about how he threatened to pull $1 billion in loan guarantees from Ukraine if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

Nope. Kerry didn’t say a word then. Joe Biden literally bragged about pressuring a foreign government to fire a prosecutor. He bragged about withholding $1 billion in loan guarantees if the Ukrainian President didn’t fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

The prosecutor was actually fired. Did anyone in the media screech about that? Did John Kerry or anyone else appear on Morning Joe or Face the Nation and wag their fingers? Nope.

But when a whistleblower says Trump said something about Joe and Hunter Biden on a call based upon 19th party HEARSAY, the gloves are off and the scolding commences.

John Kerry has no room to talk here. He needs to pack up his hypocritical shocked face and go home.
