Exactly.  

Where did I ever claim to offer absolute proof that no contrary evidence would be forthcoming? Stop making things up. It's just that the evidence I offered is very strong, and so far we have seen nothing but very week evidence from the Republicans which falls far short of what they contended that they have. Past form counts.

It tells us you believe Biden is guilty but offers no evidence that Biden is actually feeling what you contend he's feeling.

Why should it?

Exactly.    It's still all to play for.  And things don't look great for Biden Sr.

Actually I was hoping to go to bed soon and going through your comments is not my idea of "light night-time reading".

 

"Fearful".  You do live in a strange and imaginary world.

Of course my comment was baseless. And just as worthless as yours about Biden. That was the point.

Hardly baseless.  Besides, speculation is speculation.  This is an internet forum, where people share ideas, feelings, anecdotes, and so on.  It isn't some sort of "hearing" where only facts proven with solid evidence are allowed to be presented.

 

I wonder if you are this concerned about speculations or opinions being shared on Trump topics...  ????

Oh, I understand now.  Very clever.  It isn't quite the same though.  There isn't any evidence that would be added to by something being introduced in this thread that would give any reason to speculate that I am fearful of going through your posts.

 

In Biden's case, there were reports that suggest his involvement with his son's business dealings, so any talk of these being investigated now could theoretically make Biden nervous.

special people to investigate special people with the outcome already known...illegal,no...morally corrupt,yes.

Same.Every.Time.  For some reason (probably financial interests) the Biden's are media darlings. 

Maybe it's the military industrial complex (imagine how much money the US would save if they stopped fighting and losing forever wars around the world).

I'd like to see the stats on how much the U.S. has spent on e.g. homeless people for the last 100 years vs the amount it's given 'Ukraine' over the last 18 months.

 

 

 

Trump's also an embarrassment but if you open the hood, the 'democrat' party has been taken over by corrupt and opportunistic socialist war mongers.

 

Look at their actions: Whether it's wars, suppression of free speech, or mandatory medical interventions:  it's UNamerican & dictator like.

 

All of that used to all be associated with the authoritarian right (& Nazis), but NOW those things are owned by the so-called left.

 

I'm not sure what is 'democratic' about the democrats nowadays but millions of people blindly follow what their group tells them to & that's where we are now.

 

Even the imagery has been 'extreme right wing'

This has all the classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation operation. I'm also deeply suspicious about the timing of this case as an attempt to influence the coming election.

Of course, it should influence the next election. Why shouldn't the case be heard before the election so voters can decide based on the evidence and judgements?

Now why would there be talk of impeachment?

Because, for those who lived under rocks for the last couple of years, such as MTG have been spouting “ impeachment” nonsense since Biden was elected.

Devon Archer testified that Hunter Biden confesssed to him that he had no hand in it. Other members of Biden's company told Archer it was bad news because Zlochevsky had Shokin under control.  And irrefutable evidence is that Biden was carrying out U.S. govt policy when he threatened to cut off funding if Shokin wasn't dismissed. The EU applauded the move. You've got less than nothing.

That is not an answer.

What sort of evidence could there be that disproves absolutely that there won't be? But the evidence against the Republican committee's assertions is very strong, and the evidence they have provided, such as it is, is very weak despite repeated claims that they were about to produce evidence that was very strong. And every tiime they have produced their evidence, it's fizzled. Past form counts. Even Hannity was sceptical of Comer's claims.

Nothing has 'fizzled'. Link to Hannity please.

Republicans are never happy

 

Some Republicans previously pushed Garland to appoint a special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation, with 33 Senate Republicans signing a letter requesting that Weiss be elevated to that role last November.

Thanks for the link.  Here’s the final paragraph:

 

“If Weiss negotiated the sweetheart deal that couldn’t get approved, how can he be trusted as a Special Counsel?” Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.

 

Furthermore, the SC cannot indite—without approval of the AG.  Likewise, the SC cannot stonewall an investigation—without the AG’s approval.  Looks like Garland’s DOJ totally in charge.

Not really.

[pomchop]

So is there ANYONE that Garland can appoint to investigate hunter that would make the trumpers happy?  Outside of George Santos, MTG, and other assorted nut cases? Hell maybe he could appoint that beacon of integrity clarence thomas?

Funny how almost all the dems say investigate hunter and IF you find probable cause of a crime then by all means bring it to a grand jury and seek an indictment and then try him and if found guilty give him the appropriate sentence. 

 

On the other hand repubs who have screamed for hunters head over and over  don't much want to investigate jared kushner who somehow got two BILLION from the saudis by playing off his trump connections?

 

But it does not work the other way with republicans to whom it appears that any republican investigated and charged is all a giant dem conspiracy witch hunt.

 

I have said many times before...if it is all a giant dem conspiracy then why are almost all of the witnessess named to testify against trump  republicans most of whom he hired or appointed and all of which say they voted for trump....those sneaky dam incompetent dems have somehow managed to convince all these life long republicans to make up lies and participate in the giant dem witch hunt....that is truly amazing how they did that ...just as the dems were able to rig the 2020 election in seven states and leave not one shred of evidence behind for dozens of republican investigators to find.

No problem, like I said you just can't please them:

 

Republicans Are Mad They Got The Hunter Biden Special Counsel They Asked For

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) does not think much of the appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel for the Justice Department’s investigation into Hunter Biden, the president’s son.

Attorney General Merrick Garland “knows Weiss will protect Hunter,” Blackburn scoffed in a social media post on Saturday.

But Weiss’ appointment is exactly what she and other congressional Republicans requested.
