CNN, ABC, CBS, MSNBC et al choose not to cover anything negative affecting Biden, but other sources do. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/jamie-raskin-lied-about-the-biden-bribery-memo/ar-AA1ckuWg Because a right wing apparatchik named Elizabeth Stauffer says so? I missed the part where she cites Raskin's refutation of Barr's claim. Team Raskin Responds A spokesperson for House Oversight Democrats said Barr was “downplaying the scope of the assessment he assigned to US Attorney Brady and his team of prosecutors and FBI agents, who interviewed the confidential human source and reviewed suspicious activity reports filed by banks, to evaluate the allegations of corruption peddled by Rudy Giuliani.” “The FBI informed the Committee, in no uncertain terms, that this assessment was closed in August 2020 after it failed to identify sufficient evidence to justify further investigation,” the statement continued. “By referring to the assessment as an ‘intake process,’ former Attorney General Barr is attempting to walk back the conclusions of this probe. https://www.politico.com/minutes/congress/06-9-2023/barrs-raskin-dustup/ Keep in mind that this is the same William Barr who was castigated by a federal judge for lying about the Mueller report.

We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to numerous failed fact checks and the promotion of conspiracy theories and right-wing propaganda." https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/just-the-news/ It turns out that the author of this article also wrote a favorable review of Mike Lindell's election fraud documentary.

It provides no evidence whatsoever of John Brennan admitting that it "was political." It does reference a Fox News article that the Daily Mail says was reporting Brennan had said something to that effect. However if you follow the link and read the Fox News article, it also does not provide any evidence of John Brennan admitting to it being political. All it says is that Jim Jordan claimed John Brennan's remarks in a closed door hearing confirmed to him (Jordan) that this was political. It also indicates that a democratic member of the committee who was in the hearing interpreted Brennan's remarks completely differently to how Jordan did. Neither the Daily Mail article nor the Fox News article contain any information about what John Brennan's actual words were. All we have are Jim Jordan's claims about what his words amounted to.

Popular Post GroveHillWanderer Posted June 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2023 11 hours ago, SunnyinBangrak said: So, there IS very strong and credible evidence that joe biden was taking money from the Ukraine that we were promised never happened. What will happen to the people that actually IMPEACHED a President for wanting an investigation of the biden's corruption in Ukraine now that we know there is much evidence(that was covered up by the DOJ and would have immediately ended the impeachment farce) that corruption WAS taking place. If we remember he was impeached for falsely insinuating that biden was taking corrupt payments from the Ukraine that he actually WAS taking. No wonder conservatives do not trust the DOJ or democrat media one iota. Isn't it great for joe that the media is fixating on the illogical charges against his political opponent at such a crucial time which has somehow buried reports on the corruption we were told in no uncertain terms never happened. What a mess. If there is "very strong and credible evidence that joe biden was taking money from the Ukraine" then it certainly isn't contained in what Chuck Grassley is saying. All we've got from Grassley is an allegation that a Ukrainian businessman, who allegedly made payments to the Bidens, claims to have recordings of him talking to Hunter and Joe Biden. Furthermore, the only basis for this is an FBI FD-1023 document which as several people have pointed out, is a document used for unverified reports from confidential sources. If and when the recordings have been produced, verified, and we know what's on them, then there might be something substantive here. However there is as yet, no evidence that these recordings actually exist, or of what is on them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"But over the next 23 months, according to Forbes, citing tax filings, the couple made $15 million. Forbes said Joe Biden received $2.4 million in speaking fees and $1.8 million from book tour events. It also said he brought in $775,000 from the University of Pennsylvania, where he is the Benjamin Franklin professor of practice and where he heads the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy & Global Engagement. It said Jill Biden added $700,000 in speaking fees. ... While Trump is right that Biden spent many years on a government salary, the former vice president has had some very lucrative years in the private sector. ...
