And he will be called to testify.

Still hoping the Repubs can find something to bring down Biden with, SMH. Keep swinging slugger...

Behind the Hunter Biden hype: GOP scramble to keep up the outrage — but they've got nothing

Sorry, Whell - you’ll have to look elsewhere for your daily dose of fake outrage. How about Donny? He’s done some seriously bad shit…

Hunter Biden is not the president. His father is the president (regardless of what whell and his asshole alt-right fellow citizen seditionist insurrectionistas think or insist). So...unless and until Joe Biden is proven to have benefitted in any way from his son's tax evasion or illegal gun ownership, we can all chalk this off to just more...

BENGHAZI!!! BENGHAZI!! BENGHAZI!!!...LOCK HER UP!!!...STOLEN ELECTION!!!...PEDOPHILE GROOMER SOCIAL WORKERS!!! and any other alt-right MAGA bullshit.

Give the Hunter Biden nothingburger a fucking rest, assholes.

The innuendo is strong in those asshole alt-right fellow citizen seditionist insurrectionista's. It's all they've got. Trying to get to Biden through anyone associated with him. They keep trying to find something to wound Biden with. They keep saying Biden took bribes from the Chinese/ the Russians/ whomever, the amount depending upon who's shoveling the shit, If someone is bribing someone it's usually to get something, no? No one seems to know what results these alleged bribes obtained.

Love this article. It spends two-thirds of the text explaining why Biden wasn't hit harder on the late payment of tax issue - and no one really expected that he'd be hit hard on it - and 1/3 defending the probation deal on the gun charge, which many thought would be the harder or the two charges to defend.

More hard-hitting reporting from Politico....

The allegation on the bribes goes something like this:

Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post. The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month. “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads. An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf. The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.

This is also coupled with evidence of payments from Burisma to various Biden family members worth millions of dollars.

Biden can also be heard in a video recording describing how he threatened to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees from Ukraine unless they fired a prosecutor.

Now, there's little question that Burisma sent a ton of money to the Bidens. It's not entirely clear what all that money was intended to purchase. The video clip doesn't mention the prosecutor by name. Since the video was recorded in 2018, it's assumed that the prosecutor Biden was talking about was Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma at the time of his firing for alleged corruption. Its also been suggested that Shokin's investigation covered a period of time prior to Hunter Biden joining the board of Burisma. Still, as the NY Times points out, the timing and the movement of money between the Bidens and Burisma at the very least creates the appearance of impropriety.

More hard-hitting reporting from Politico....

Latest Memo from the NRA to the GOP stipulates that all gun charges be dropped.

Allegations do not count, indictments do.
So why are you posting about allegations instead of about actual indictments, 37 new ones IIRC.

After all in a six year investigation by David Weiss if there were legitimate allegations, wouldn't the independent US attorney have charged Hunter Biden?

Only indictments counted, as long as Trump hadn't been indicted. But that of course never applied to Democrats, just to Trump.

Blah...blah...years of investigating and the DOJ figured out that Hunter committed misdemeanor tax avoidance and violation of a gun law that you undoubtedly hate unless it's being enforced on the son of a Democrat president.

How's about you start reporting on something that will actually put one of the Biden's away, like...oh, I dunno, maybe a violation of the Espionage Act.

You are hilariously ridiculous, Mikey. But then...so is your twice impeached cult leader hero.
