What evidence do you have that the NYT conspired with anybody.

 

Anonymously providing the press with information is a thing, and has been for many years.

I'm sure Pattaya Spotter was just as indignant about the hacking of the Democratic Party servers and the Trump campaign's use of said information.

I don't think there are financial incentives there, except maybe permission for a Trump tower or so.

 

I think the decision to move the embassy was made because his son in law said so, and he doesn't care.

And to please the Christian right and major GOP donor Sheldon Adelson.

So are you sayings, categorically, that no state department official ever spoke to Joe Biden about a conflict of interest arising from Hunter Biden's Ukraine activities whilst his father was VPOTUS and responsible for American policy for Ukraine.

 

Just to be clear.

But if you're so concerned about the behavior of relatives why not focus a bit of your attention on the fact that Jared Kushner's family got bailed out of a terrible investment by means of a sweetheart deal financed by the Qatari government. Unlike Hunter Biden, Jared is an official member of the US government.

Did Hunter Biden receive $3.5 million from a Russian oligarch? For what exactly? 

 

Was Joe Biden well aware of Hunter's Ukraine business interests, at a time he was responsible for American policy in the Ukraine? If so, did he lie about not knowing it? Do State Department released documents exist that show Biden snr was briefed about concerns of conflicts of interest? Did Obama know?

 

Or is it all fake news?

You seem impervious to the fact that the Senate Report, despite every political motivation do to so, came up empty. And those questions were addressed in that inquiry. Everyone involved said that Biden did nothing to thwart an investigation and scrupulously carried out US policy.

The Russian female oligarch who wired $3.5 million to Hunter Biden was married to a former Moscow Mayor. She obviously is well connected with the current Russian regime.

Yet, as with Burisma in the Ukraine, most of the media aren't interested.

 

I saw a report that said Biden lied when he denied discussing business with his son and that state department officials had raised the conflict of interest issues with him.  Again, seems most media aren't interested as it gets quietly swept under the carpet.

 

But, as you post, all repeat the allegations against Trump, as proven facts. Makes the US IRS look like incompetent fools, which I don't think is the reality. Far from it.

Once again, Senator Ron Johnson tried mightily to come up with any evidence against Joe Biden concerning the Ukraine. Complete fail.

It seems Biden has plenty of hidden things too; many of which are being exposed.

 

Given Trump's propensity for attack, attack and attack, these debates will likely be exchanges of allegations and bitter comment. Low class politics.

 

Such as. Republican Senator and ardent right wing supporter of Donald Trump released his report about the Bidens and the Ukraine. Absolutely zero evidence was offered that might incriminate Joe Biden.

And if you want to see Biden's tax info, it's posted on the internet.

So what exactly are you referring to?

What a crock of S**t.  Biden son gets $3.5 million from a Russian mayor but somehow the issue is how much Trump paid in taxes.  Let me clue you in.  NO ONE ESCAPES PAYING LEGITIMATE TAXES IN THE USA.  If Trump enterprises lost money in prior years, it is legitimately allowed to deduct from any earnings the amount of the losses until such time as it makes a net profit.  Additionally if the Trump organization is structured as a C corporation, Trump would have income exclusively from any money the corporation paid to him as wages.  The corporation not Donald Trump would pay any income taxes.  So without knowing the entire story it is just trying to create the illusion that Donald Trump somehow did not pay taxes.  They did the same thing with Romney and saying he did not pay any income taxes.  Not true.  The IRS if Trump owed taxes would be all over him like a rabid dog. 

Looks like the same old Democratic Smear tactic.  Claim something causing your opponent to try to defend it and have the media broadcast it to give it legs.

"As IRS researchers highlighted in a recent report, is that the United States lost an average of nearly $400 billion per year in unpaid taxes from 2011 to 2013. Moreover, over the past decade, Congress has made the problem much worse. It has given the IRS new responsibilities while sharply cutting the agency’s budget. The IRS has lost more than one-third of its enforcement personnel."

"Bombshell NYT story on Trump tax returns shows that he received a $3.5 million wire transfer from a corrupt Russian tied to Vladimir Putin.

Oh wait, no, that was Hunter Biden, and the NYT didn't even report it."

And Hunter Biden is running for President? And did you read Republican Senator Ron Johnson's report? Even though Johnson tried as hard as he could he produced absolutely no evidence produced to show Joe Biden helped his son. And unlike Hunter Biden Jaraed and Ivanka actually hold official governmental posts? Jared's family benefited from a billion dollar bailout at least partially financed by Qatar. And Ivanka nabbed quite a few trademarks in record time from the Chinese govt.

Try getting a top level clearance in the FBI, CIA, Army, Navy, etc etc if you have debt problems.

Especially if those debt are owed to foreign entities. Trump got bailed out by Deutsch Bank. Deutsch Bank does lots of business with the Russians. And Trump has never personally criticized Putin.

The democrats have been trying to get Trump removed for all his term, they just dont seem to accept he won the election last time round. Obama has behaved disgracefully for a retired President, he should have kept quiet. Continuous stream of mud has been thrown at Trump to make him look bad at every turn and that is sad. He won a democratic election and in a free democracy the tactics used by the opposition are part of that freedom, I dont like it but it comes with the territory in the end we will see if it succeeds or Trump get a second term. I hope he gets it for the tactics being used against him and I see Biden as being a puppet for the Obama's and the Clinton's but that me view. You are all free to agree or disagree but remember what free speech is. Freedom of speech is my right to tell you things you dont want to hear.

How did you feel about Trump leading the Birther Movement?
