re: Don Jr is tweeting about Hunter

That's because only accusations against trump or his family, or people connected to him.. are deemed as credible by our corrupt government.

Accusations against anyone else, are deemed as insignificant.

I was definitely NOT referencing you. I have never seen you make the sort of imbecilic assertion that I described, and I would be very surprised to see you do so. Of course, I would have said the same of Shorty a year ago, so “who knows.”

As recently as yesterday, I opined that the Dems are abusing the impeachment process, and .. yes ... it does annoy me. I did not express this opinion in posts replete with hyperbolic rhetoric, emojis, cursing and capital letters, because that simply is not my style. I am not a “pound on the desk” kind of guy.

On this issue of witness testimony in the Senate, the courtroom lawyer in me says that it should be allowed only if it is truly “new” evidence, and I would trust Roberts to make that call on a less-partisan basis than the body of the Senate, but I doubt they will give him that authority.

Absent ceding authority to Roberts, I do think that a majority vote on any given witness is probably (pragmatically) the best solution, even recognizing that less than a dozen Senators will de facto be making the call.

Specific witnesses? Baby Biden ... I could argue either side, but In a trial without the political implications, there is not one judge in ten who would allow the testimony in an analogous situation. Bolton probably IS relevant, but I question whether the evidence would meet the “new” threshold.

Baby Biden was offered and accepted a position for which he had no apparent qualifications. I doubt that any sane individual thinks this was done for any reason other than a hope that it would garner favor with his father and/or a hope that his name would provide the company with same cachet.

Accepting that position simply does not violate the FCPA, which was the assertion to which I responded.

You’ve perfectly illustrated the hypocrisy of the Prog/Dim leftists Skyscreamers who’ve been on Trump’s arse since he beat your girl’s azz. Nothing Trump has done is illegal but if the Dims have any hope to regain the White House they have to twist and contort the facts and the constitution to convince the American people Trump is corrupt.....it’s not working.

Yes. We get it. It's EVERYONE else, not you.


Calling me insane is cute, but, you know better and we both know it.

By the way. Can't help but notice that you didn't even deny that you pretty much 100% agree with the Dems and CNN on this impeachment process...…….oh...……….except for actually impeaching.


THat's because you probably can't cite a single substantive difference you have with them whatsoever. You might as well BE Pelosi pre-"OK, I'll impeach" mode.

I believe Baby B's testimony is relevant to determine whether there's a basis for reasonable suspicion on the part of Trump

Which Hank KNOWS is a perfectly valid point...……...but, he can't admit it because he's got to run interference.

Your entire post is spot on. Hank is full of shite.

A truly absurd assertion.

The entire charge against Trump rests on his motive for wanting the Bidens looked in to. Just ROFLMAO at you people who think you can assert his move was A and then disallow any evidence for why it could have been B.

Hank. Its sort of weird to know that you believe it doesn’t serve a valid national security interest for the President of the United States to determine whether a foreign government was involved in a bribery scheme wherein our own public officials accepted a kickback from a government contract they negotiated with a foreign power, and how that kickback may have affected our national policy.

If this same fact pattern existed in a domestic Federal Contract of any kind-it is De facto illegal. Meaning, simply the fact that a blood relative of a sitting public official in charge of setting the policy at issue, benefited from the contract. Not just illegal. But a felony.

To me, it’s fricking WORSE than if Hunter Biden (a cokehead with no demonstrable ethics) provably profited from some domestic construction project and potentially laundered payments that he held on to until his dad was no longer VP. Hunter Biden demonstrably profited from a transaction for which he potentially laundered money to hold for his dad who was negotating our foreign policy.

This is so shitty and awful I cannot stand it. I don’t think it was in any way appropriate for Trump to ask for an investigation of the Bidens- I WANT THESE SHADY BASTARDS INVESTIGATED. CRiminally.

I think that’s what many aren’t understanding though, no one is saying Hunter is a good guy or that there wasn’t corruption involved. If Trump wanted it investigated he should have notified US law enforcement to do so. Especially since it directly relates to a political opponent of his. No one (almost no one, I’m sure there are idiots out there that do) is excusing Hunter or saying that he’s not corrupt or that it shouldn’t be looked into.

The US supplied well over a Billion in aid to help the Ukrainian gas industry. Who was the point man for this money. Joe of course. If you wanted to launder a nice kick back, I can’t think of a better way than a no show job paying ten times what Exxon pays its board members.

How much time did Hunter spend improving Burisma’s business model. How many meetings did he attend for a million a year.

Obama’s state Department thought it had poor optics’s and prepared amb. Y for her confirmation. I have no proof of any actual crime but if Hunter wanted this easy money he should be prepared to be investigated.

I believe many investigations conducted by Obama holdover swamp rats need to be reinvesttgated by high character prosecutors from outside the Beltway. How many of us could destroy evidence and get away with it. How about continually leaking classified information for obviously political gain.
