Hard-line House Republicans itching for shutdown, impeachment fights

If you're asking whether the FBI withheld evidence during the Trump administration, that's a documented fact.  They had the laptop for a looong time.  Knew it was authentic, for a loooong time.   Yes, that's indicative of suppressing the evidence.  They suppressed for so long, in fact, that the statute of limitations has run out on several charges. 

 

It wasn't until after the Repubs won the house that the dominoes started falling.

 

The problem with the laptop is chain of custody.

So you're admitting that they were commingling funds?  Which makes Joe a willing beneficiary of what Hunter was doing?  A few grand for upkeep hardly comports with the claim of "half".  Maybe it's nothing.  But it's certainly piqued my curiosity.

 

How did they 'splain away the other known shell companies and the funds sent to the grandkids?

 

Bottom line, if there's nothing to hide, why is the Biden team so intent on hiding it?  Enquiring minds want to know.  Lefties, probably not so much. 

 

 

Evidence smevidence trumpers don’t need no stinking evidence a enuendo or slander will do

Please provide a link supporting the above assertions.

“I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years,” Hunter Biden groused to daughter Naomi in January 2019. “It’s really hard. But don’t worry, unlike pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.” Pop is Joe Biden.

The laptop — infamously abandoned at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019 — does not contain any direct evidence of such money transfers, but does show that Hunter was routinely on the hook for his father’s household expenses while Joe Biden was vice president.

The expenses are spelled out in an email to Hunter from business partner Eric Schwerin from June 5, 2010, titled “JRB Bills.” They concerned the upkeep of Joe Biden’s palatial lakefront home in the wealthy Greenville enclave of Wilmington, Del. JRB are President Biden’s initials.

And given that it was John Ratcliffe, a notorious extreme right winger who headed the unit that had custody of it, your charge of suppression makes little sense. 

Well, if the head of the unit had been a hardcore left-winger, we would most likely never have heard about the laptop, and what was on it.

 

In other words, you have nothing

This is a nothingburger. In fact, it's the definition of a nothingburger.

That was exactly my point. He was paying for aircon repair, etc... That's a nothing burger a la Comer.

PS. Are you sure you didn't have a problem with the quoting function? It seems you didn't reply to the right person in a few posts.

Anyone who, like you, offers a counterfactual as evidence, not only has nothing, but doesn't understand what nothing means.

[johnnybangkok]

And it’s not like we haven’t seen this all before; from Benghazi to Obama’s birth certificate, the accusations fly with absolutely no evidence to support it. 
Hilary (now easy Trumpers, easy) went through many years of investigation that cost millions of taxpayer funds, for the GOP to come to the conclusion that it had found nothing, Nadia, zip to contradict the conclusions of the independent accountability board or the many, many, many previous investigations.

Its yet another diversion tactic to keep the conspiracy theorists in Heaven, the uneducated titillated and the faithful even more faithful. 
Majorie Taylor Green and that peodophile Gaetz are a continuing disgrace to democracy in the US.

They have to have grounds to do such a thing they don’t just their terror of Trump demanding it

They could always invent grounds like the dems did with the Steele dosier... then they could spend millions of manhours and dollars like the dems did... then they would have nothing like the dems have....

Then why was the impeachment a failure?  And subsequently the Steele dosiere proven false?

Because at the time Republicans controlled the Senate and chose not to grasp the legitimate chance of getting rid of the grifter that is sinking their beloved party.

The Steele dossier was openly labeled a report about rumors and stories floating around. It was raw intelligence.

 

But a lot of those rumors and stories proved to be true:

Wow.  Tag team lefties.

 

I don't favor an impeachment (yet), but I absolutely favor an impeachment inquiry, granting congress subpoena powers to get at the documents, emails, bank records and other evidence they seek  (and the Biden team is holding back on).

 

If there's nothing to hide, why not just release the evidence?  And fire the dozens of attorneys they've hired to squelch the evidence...

 

James Comer makes a lot of asserions about Biden. But provides no proof.

No point impeaching while the Dems control the Senate. Just a waste of time and money.

Yes, open an inquiry to get the evidence for after the election.

Well at least you are admitting the Republicans don’t have ‘the evidence’.

Baseless accusations yes.

 

Evidence no.

McCarthy has caved in to a threat of being deposed by Gaetz today by declaring an impeachment inquiry, something he has previously resisted. No vote in the house, he knows what would happen. This is a capitulation to the freedom caucus, nothing less.

[Danderman123]

What this is going to devolve into is:

 

On the first day of a new administration, the opposition controlled House will initiate a pro forma impeachment.

"We will go where the evidence takes us," McCarthy said. In Thai, we call that "duu gone" translate as we will see if any evidence surface.

"commingling fund"? Really? This is a legal term in cases where some administrator who has fiduciary responsiblity for someone's funds, uses those funds in some other account. Typically their own. What does this have to do with the Bidens?

And the nonsense about Biden being a willing beneficiary? Another use of legalistic sounding language that has no bearing on criminality. His son contributes fairly modest sums to the upkeep of a property somehow makes a Biden a somehow criminally responsible for how those monies were earned? More nonsense.
