Bracing for impact: Biden world preps for Hunter Biden fallout

[onthedarkside]

 

The White House is bracing for the political fallout from the charging decision in the Hunter Biden case. And they’ve concluded that Republicans will attack them over it whether President Joe Biden’s son is criminally indicted or not.

 

In conversations, Democrats and senior West Wing aides are downplaying the potential impact, arguing Hunter Biden was a factor in the 2020 election and voters elected his father anyway.

 

They point out the president’s top rival, Donald Trump, was just indicted himself.

"no attempting to intimidate" you say?

 

"The top Republican probing Hunter Biden's business affairs has claimed that lawyers for the president's son are intimidating possible witnesses and whistleblowers.

'We've got witnesses that are scared to death to come forward. They fear for their lives,' he was quoted as saying. 'The Hunter Biden legal team — they're testing the limits.'"

From the OP

 

"In conversations, Democrats and senior West Wing aides are downplaying the potential impact, arguing Hunter Biden was a factor in the 2020 election and voters elected his father anyway."

 

and

 

"“But the Republicans have failed — both in the 2020 campaign and in their 2023 congressional hearings — to have questions about Hunter Biden impact public opinion and I don’t think they will succeed now, regardless of what DOJ decides.”

 

and

 

"But they also point out that Trump made many of these allegations during the 2020 campaign, even springing one of Hunter’s ex-business partners, a man named Tony Bobulinski, as a surprise guest at the last 2020 general election debate. It had little impact."

 

Could that be because the narrative at the time was

 

"https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276

 

and factually discussing the evidence of biden's corruption would get you banned from the internet and labelled a "conspiracy theorist"?

 

Politico's dishonest phrasing is a modern marvel, shocking people trust this outlet.

Well, a Republican lawyer says so, it must be true.

I think if you want to look for dishonesty by looking closer to home. For example, Twitter delayed reporting on the topic and discussion of the hunter Biden laptop for one day. So who was banned from the internet?

[EVENKEEL]

I'm wondering if biden can get 51 more agents to sign a letter saying it has the earmarks of Russian Collusion. Hey, it worked for last election.

Did you notice that these statements use verbs like "it seems", "it appears", "have suggested", 'may be"?

That would be better than one agent falsely claiming a candidate was still under investigation.

 

And years later, still no indictment, no grand jury and no subpoenas. Go figure.

In England we have a saying that runs,

"Put your money where your mouth is".

 

If the proof of intimidation is there then take it to the courts.

 

If not then there is nothing to prove.

 

 

I have just read, before the Daily Mail DEMANDED if remove my ad blocker or not read the article, that the allegation, which is what it is, is merely repeating what Comer has said.

 

He is supposedly a very powerful man but does not seem to want to take the "allegations" further to a court case.

 

I wonder why?

 

As for the DM, who really cares what they write anyway?

For the record.

 

I’m all in favor of nobody being above the law, not a President (past or present) nor the children of a President (past or present) - regardless of who the President is.

 

I do however suspect some here delighting in this report  will sing from a different song sheet within the not too distant future.

Jeez, the President won't even acknowledge his 7th grandchild (daughter of Hunter). Maybe he is trying to make some distance between himself and his son. Yet, they did take that trip to Ireland together a while ago. Kinda surpirsed he didn't send Hunter for Charles' coronation!  Or Kamala for that matter...

 

I'm confused.

Which playbook? Oh, you mean the Jan. 6 committee? You know, like testimonies by Republican Trump aides, text messages and documents, recorded phone calls, etc...

 

Nothing like the current allegations of allegations, whistleblowers who seem to know nothing, "may", "could be", "we believe" B.S. ????

They have nothing and make it up!

Best you tell j biden that yourself, those former agents sure made an impression on him.

 

Biden accused Trump of spreading Russian disinformation after the President brought up recent articles in the New York Post about Biden’s son, Hunter, and his business dealings with Ukraine. Trump specifically cited a “laptop” that contained emails allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden.  

“There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he's accusing me of is a Russian plant,” Biden said. “… Five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except his good friend Rudy Giuliani.”

So what? It confirms they were former agents, which means they didn't depend hierarchically from Joe.

 

And before you come up with the debunked lie from Jim Jordan.

What has this had to do with your false assertion that agents signed on to this?

Hunter Biden and the hidden 10%

[NORDO]

Given the State of affairs in the USA, it amazing me how much Time and USD are being expended for two political factions trying to destroy each other.   From my prospective there are so many more events in the USA, as well as World-Wide that would benefit to a much greater degree given the Resources,  Time and USD that is being depleted over these issues.

Corruption free government and governance under the law is probably up there with the important stuff that needs doing.

 

If there is evidence of a President’s son (or daughter) committing crimes, put it to a Grand Jury, if they hand down indictments, take it to trial.

 

Regardless of who the President is, past or present.

 

Nobody above the law.
