    Trump should have passed it on to his FBI or DOJ, not tried to make a quid pro quo's to benefit his run again Biden - even if he had collected something it would be tainted after that

    Ukraine was at a real risk of war from Putin, they needed those weapons

    Some could see it that way. Others might have just preferred to let Russia take Ukraine, with the view that Ukraine was practically almost like a part of Russia anyway, under the former Soviet Union and for much of history before that.
    It's not like Ukraine had a fully healthy and fully free democracy either (though more open than Russia), and the country's political corruption level was even higher than in Russia.

    I mean, there's definitely a compelling argument for the U.S. to defend Ukraine, but it wasn't an absolute and fully completely obvious and incontrovertible argument. Especially for Democrats in the U.S.

    I am sure, many on the right seem to side with Putin nowadays, including Trump

    Why? The bottom line when it comes to the laptop is that it is “tainted evidence”. It would not hold up in court due to the questionable chain of evidence - plus what is actually on the fugging thing? Everyone and his dog has dug into it and found?????

    They reported - they also, as they should have, reported its questionable provenance. But the bottom line is - no one was voting for Hunter and these days nearly everyone has a member of the family struggling with addiction. Biden’s clear compassion and care for his son does not show him in a poor light with an awful lot of people in the same boat

    It would not stop a prosecution against a normal suspect.

    But since this case is so politically sensitive (for obvious reasons), they want to be much more cautious and hesitant to do anything that may not be fair.
    For the same exact reason people should be hesitant to believe any claim of rape made against Trump. (There's a clear strong motive to falsify evidence)

    What the experts found

    In their examinations, Green and Williams found evidence that people other than Hunter Biden had accessed the drive and written files to it, both before and after the initial stories in the New York Post and long after the laptop itself had been turned over to the FBI.


    Maxey had alerted The Washington Post to this issue in advance, saying that others had accessed the data to examine its contents and make copies of files. But the lack of what experts call a “clean chain of custody” undermined Green’s and Williams’s ability to determine the authenticity of most of the drive’s contents.


    “The drive is a mess,” Green said.


    Maxey, who previously worked as a researcher for Bannon’s “War Room” podcast


    ...Soon after that period of inactivity — and months after the laptop itself had been taken into FBI custody — three new folders were created on the drive. Dated Sept. 1 and 2, 2020, they bore the names “Desktop Documents,” “Biden Burisma” and “Hunter. Burisma Documents.”

    Williams also found records on the drive that indicated someone may have accessed the drive from a West Coast location in October 2020, little more than a week after the first New York Post stories on Hunter Biden’s laptop appeared.

    Over the next few days, somebody created three additional folders on the drive, titled, “Mail,” “Salacious Pics Package” and “Big Guy File” — an apparent reference to Joe Biden.

    Quoted me voluntarily and immediately pivots to making the commentary about me^. There is a name for that and maybe there is sand/gas where it should not be? This also applies to the R dogs that can't hunt?! :)

    According to your own link, the FBI doesn’t have any recordings.

    And the only allegation in the story is that some un named guy has two recordings of a phone call with Joe Biden. Nothing about the content of those calls.

    So what the hell do you think Joe Biden should be impeached for? The fact that someone recorded a couple of phone calls with him?

    If your train of thought lead you here, maybe it's just very convoluted.

    The maga horde is pumping out a copious diarrhea of hysterical bullshit in a desperate attempt to distract from trump’s criminal actions.
    Every time trump is indicted for another crime, the horde trots out another attempted distraction.

    Wait, wait, the tapes will be released any second now... Oh, no, the tapes were lost in the mail... Just like Tucker lost the flash drive with all the dirt on Hunter days before the 2020 election. I wonder what happened to all the damning information on the flash drive? Supposedly, it was found. My guess, it was just another desperate attempt to fling mud at Biden with the hope to sway the election in favor of Trump.

    This entire Biden nonsense has Colludie Rudy's stench all over it, just make the allegation and Trump and the elected motley crew will do the rest. AKA, gaslighting the base.

    Giuliani tells Rita Cosby what info he gave about Biden back in Jan 2020
    Zolochevsky's Bursima partner Mykola Lisin's (killed in car crash) wife he said has the bribe evidence.

    June 10,2023




    Another 2020 interview by Giuiani.

    Feb 2020

    snip

    'Meaning it was OK for the president to ask Joe Biden be investigated?

    Giuliani: Right. Biden committed a very serious crime in Ukraine. At least there is overwhelming evidence of it.

    You're referring to Biden's effort as vice president to have a prosecutor suspected of corruption –

    Oh, more than that. Biden was, first of all, bribed by [Burisma owner Mykola] Zlochevsky to do that. Zlochevsky is the multi-billionaire, organized criminal who employed his son for five years and gave his son somewhere between $5 and $8 million. Some of it in laundered payments. Zlochevsky made a deal with Biden so that Biden would protect his company. And when —


    Do you mean Hunter Biden on the board of Burisma?


    He put Hunter Biden on the board to pay off the bribe. He made a deal with Biden --

    When you say bribe, you mean Hunter Biden was –

    No, no, I'm talking about Zlochevsky bribed Vice President Joseph Biden —

    Handed him money?

    Promised him money for Hunter. He said to him through intermediaries: We will put Hunter Biden on the board. We need your protection. I need your protection because the government's going to come after me. That was the deal. Direct and indirect. The deal was: should [Petro] Poroshenko come after Burisma — that's the president of Ukraine — and take it away from me or try to take it away from me, and should they try to seize my $5 billion that I stole, he didn't go into that kind of detail — the deal was to put Hunter on the board, we're going to pay him a huge amount. Devon Archer, his partner. When I need you to protect me, then you've got to protect me. And it was done through intermediaries.

    Then there's the FBI's FD-1023 form confirming the aleged corruption of then VP Biden. Perhaps this is what Obama was alluding to when he said "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to **** things up." The MO of "plausible deniability" isn't bullet proof, but Joe thought it was. The only mistake he made was getting his crackhead son a job on Burisma's Board.

    The third party, uncomfirmed allegation? Yep



    WASHINGTON — Republicans don’t care if it’s true that Joe Biden accepted a bribe as vice president — they just want the FBI to hand over its record of the uncorroborated allegation.

    That’s according to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), one of the two Republicans leading the effort to obtain the FBI’s raw material.

    “We are not interested in whether the allegations against Vice President Biden are accurate or not,” Grassley said Thursday morning on Fox News. “We’re responsible for making sure the FBI does its job, and that’s what we want to know.”

    Why the hell are you citing an opinion piece to speak for you?

    The FD-1023 form (before the FBI redacted it) says otherwise. The part they redacted contained the information relative to the tapes. Take YOUR best shot as to why that needed protection from the eyes of the public seeing it.

    FBI didn’t investigate Biden because Trump appointed MAGA supporter , Life long republican Chriss Wray to suppress anything to do with Biden. Trump told Wray not to investigate Biden. That’s why FBI kept all Biden crime hush hush.

    So a politician says that an anonymous source has this information. If he really does have it, then he should release it. But I'm not going to go with a politician citing and anonymous source until the actual evidence comes out.

    Trump and his MAGA supporter, Republican FBI Director Wray buried this tape to come out in 2020. I agree this is election interference by Trump and his FBI.
