Ron Johnson <\/a>that prosecutors in Ukraine say there&#8217;s nothing wrong, that Joe Biden broke no laws, or that other political observers dismiss the investigation as a fishing expedition. Nope. Johnson&#8217;s going after the former vice president.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Johnson alleges that Biden committed a conflict of interest act by interfering on Hunter Biden&#8217;s behalf while he was vice president of the United States. Says who? Sen. Johnson, that&#8217;s who!<\/p>\n<p>Johnson thinks he can summon enough votes to subpoena Hunter Biden to testify about his Burisma work and whether Dad played any role in his work for the company.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson says his seeking a probe into Biden has nothing to do with the former VP&#8217;s surge and his return to frontrunner status in the Democratic presidential primary. Sure thing, senator \u2026 whatever you say.<\/p>\n<p>Some of us out here think differently.
