Hunter & Joe Biden corruption scandal

[T.O.M.]

Perhaps TOM can weigh in here: From the layman's perspective, this breakdown sounds logical for why the judge pulled the rug out from under Jr's lawyers and the DOJ. Seems like a shady way to protect both Jr and the big guy on the foreign influence peddling.

IMHO, DOJ was giving out a sweetheart deal, having Hunter plead to a pair of misdemeanor tax offenses, and they would throw out the felony. Asks and make the gun felony ho away if Hunter is a good boy for two years.  Where they tripped up are (1) trying to out the gun diversion decision in the judge's lap (worried about a new admin/DOG pushing the case) and (2) the immunity the defense tried to get.  No prosecutor agrees to blanket immunity, which is what the defense wanted.  If the DOJ agreed to blanket immunity, even MSNBC and CNN wouldn't have been able to ignore the story of daddy fixing things for junior.

Granted,  a new deal will likely be done before the end of summer, but the judge was paying attention, covered her own ass, and did the right thing.

I couldn't even finish watching that, it was too infuriating.

Of course it was.  It was designed to be that way.

What can I say?

According to the D.C. Bar website, Biden remains a member in "good standing," despite the rules of professional conduct stating that it is misconduct for a lawyer to "commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects."

Hey man, they're not crimes - they're "foibles".

Any good guys in our government are now outnumbered 10 to 1 by those who are just go along to get along at one end of the spectrum, all the way up to full blown evil at the extreme. That which cannot continue, won't. The only question is how long till the collapse?

Sometimes I kind of wish they'd go ahead and get it over with.

Me too. I'm tired of prepping. I'd like to go out and eat a big steak now and then instead of stocking up on canned pink slime and freeze-dried other color goo.

Make that a "third" ! 

[dogmush]

Not me.  If this thing can drag out till after I retire, move to the sticks and die, I'll be just fine.  Hopefully someone comes to clean out my house and jokes about all the LARPing gear I never needed.  I've seen what tribal warfare looks like in a country, and would be just as happy not to see it again.

Even this angry-on-the-internet limbo we're in now is orders of magnitude better that that.  I'd be fine with 30 million mentally ill [adults] cutting their junk off and doing TikToks about it if it means we don't have governmental collapse and tribal war in the US.  *expletive deleted*ck em.


Realistically though?  The Uniparty is setting us up for a solid world war to reset everything.  Russia, or China if the Uniparty can get around their paid simps.

The folks who really deserve killing won't be the ones getting killed when/if things light off.

I'm with you, I have no illusions or delusions of what it would look like. May it never happen.

The USA is going to fall apart someday.  If it is peaceful succession, it can't come fast enough.

If it is violent, I hope delays as long as possible.

Peaceful ain’t an option because they are a half step away from saying we are subhumans who need to be shoved into ovens.

[Ben]

I also hope not to see it in my lifetime. I have gone about as far into red BFE as a guy can, and I'm old, so hopefully that will be the case. Whatever happens will not be non-violent unless we completely bend the knee and submit.

It's the Internet, but still, the left always talks about "Kill all republicans", "Punch a nazi", "Kill the MAGA" "kill the old white people". I don't believe they do so in jest. The right talks about defense against the left. The left talks about offense against the right. They would happily see us dead if they could wave a totalitarian wand and make it so. When it happens, defend yourself. Or die. Or become a slave. Hiding in the sticks has an expiration date.

Interesting background on the Brandon Jr prosecutors, who up until now, I guess, have been known as "hardline prosecutors":

I have noted lately how similar some of the language some on the left has started to use to describe people on the right has become to how the the Nazi's compared Jews to rats that needed to be exterminated.

Miranda Devine
@mirandadevine
The DOJ is trying to arrest Devon Archer ahead of his bombshell testimony Monday about Joe Biden’s involvement in his son Hunter’s Ukraine business when he was VP. US attorney in the SDNY Damian Williams issued a menacing letter yesterday - Saturday - telling Judge Abrams to order Archer to go to jail immediately to serve a one year sentence for his fraud conviction.

DOJ's latest move (arresting Devon Archer?!) to protect Joe and Hunter Biden is their SHADIEST yet

We never said that

The Department of Justice is claiming it did not call for Hunter Biden's business partner Devon Archer to be jailed before his congressional testimony today, following an 'odd' letter on July 29 that Republicans slammed as an attempt to 'intimidate' their star witness.

Biden's DOJ backs down and says it did NOT call for Devon Archer to be jailed BEFORE testimony today which could implicate Joe in son Hunter's shady business deals - after 'odd' letter on Saturday

[RoadKingLarry]

Devon Archer did not kill himself.

[Ben]

Archer having been a Biden buddy, is suspect, IMO. However, even if this only turns out to be some DOJ procedural thing that happened to have an unfortunate date deadline associated with it, what moron at DOJ would think that it was a great idea to send that out when they did, instead of waiting a couple of days? Especially with something this high profile.

Even if it was an innocuous mistake, it was incredibly stupid optics. If it really was a threat or ploy to keep him from testifying, I hope DOJ gets hung out to dry.

Brandon, Hunter, and associates only talked about the weather.

As far as the big igloo or whatever why not get it going. I don’t plan on standing in the boat crossing the Potomac but be nice to see my kids thru it unlike all the financial stuff we keep kicking down the road to future generations. I think much better days will come. Even if they don’t we are living in a pretty good time in history.

[MechAg94]

Even if things do get more violent, it may easily end up like the 2020 riots where the violence never gets near most people.  However, economic disruption among other things I can see more easily.  Just be prepared to weather things yourself and maybe hold back a little to help others if you can.
