Title: Hunter & Joe Biden corruption scandal
Post by: Ron on October 27, 2020, 06:29:40 PM
We have The Ukraine stuff, the laptop with The Ukraine stuff as well as sex stuff, we have a former business associate revealing China stuff and from what I gather more is on the way.

The connections to Joe are obvious but not ironclad proof as of yet.

Just the whiff of impropriety disqualifies those on the right.

The leftists demand overwhelming evidence before an investigation even begins if it is a leftist.

The stories don't seem to be getting much traction.

Of course not, social media, legacy media, big business, etc. all want him to win.

You forgot about Joe's daughter's diary:

Let's flip this around.  What news stories, obvious but not ironclad proof as of yet, about Trump would convince you not to vote for Trump?  If this was Ivanka's diary, would that convince you?

People's minds are made up.  No one is changing their opinion at this point.  It always was and always will be, "My guy isn't as bad as their guy."

Unlike Trump's negative press covfefe, we haven't seen countless negative stories about Biden in the past 5 years, from prestige news outlets, that turn out to be just flat wrong. He hasn't been made into literally Hitler, literally Atilla, and literally Bull Connor, by the news and entertainment media, for no reason at all. Biden wasn't "impeached," without even being charged with a crime.

So to compare the two situations is a bit of a stretch.

No, it isn't a stretch.

People have picked their candidate and the only way someone won't vote for Biden, for example, is if Biden dies or is disqualified for running.  And in that case, only the people who actually pay attention to the news will change their voting strategy.

But, just for the fun of it, what if Fox News comes out with evidence that Trump is corrupt?  Or Trump has plans to become a democrat once elected and ban all guns.  Would you change your vote?

My opinion is that this close to election no one is changing their vote, no matter what.

This all did break very late in the campaign season.

There better be even worse stuff that cannot be excused if they hope to force the media to cover it vs cover up.

Of course if treasonous influence peddling implicating a presidential candidate, combined with underage incestuous sexual relations and drug addiction doesn't rate coverage then ...  

Comparing this to anything Trump related thus far is silly.

We have video, audio and principles who've flipped all publicly available for confirmation of the story.

Probably true, but there are a large number of reports that “can I change my vote” and “hunter Biden” are trending on google. May not be related or it might. To be truly effective this would have needed to come out sooner if true. There have been reports of corruption surrounding the Biden family for decades though, but as is usual these things seem to be ignored when it’s a Dem. This is not new, just the potential proof of documentation in the laptop is.

I looked for dirt on Trump back in '16, particularly related to Epstein and have never heard that rumor.

There is incontrovertible proof that, at the minimum, Hunter Biden is a major national security risk if Joe becomes president.

I thought I already explained that. A thousand bits of fake news have been leveled against Trump, only to be thoroughly discredited. I would be stupid to fall for the latest one that just happens to land just before election day.

With Biden, almost the opposite is true.

charby, if such photos emerged, I suppose I may not vote for either of them. On the other hand, photoshop and deep fakes.

^^^ This.

All this Biden dirt is a classic case of "Too little, too late." It seems like half the country has already voted, and everybody else is so sick of the campaigns that nobody is paying any attention. This Biden dirt needed to have been publicized in August and September, not now.

My biggest concern about the current an incoming Trump administration is actually Jared Kushner.

If something fishy is going on or gets outed I have a sinking feeling he will be the one hip deep in questionable dealings.

There is a behind the scenes "war" going on between the rich and powerful globalists. Trump is the avatar of one group and the Dems and Rinos the representatives of another.

There are no good guys, just guys who will interfere with your lives more, or guys who will interfere less.

Nationalist leanings vs globalist leanings seem to be the major fault line.

All the sicko perversions the globalists push are designed to destroy the ties that bind, destroy the culture, destroy the foundation upon which nations are built.

The Bidens are crony globalists of the first magnitude.

I also think that the "20% of voters are undecided" is just flat out wrong.  My guess is that 20% doesn't want to answer the polling questions.

Part of the problem is a whole lot of people don't follow politics except right before the election.  You want to have the story hit at a time when everyone is paying attention, otherwise it might pass out of the news cycle and no one thinks about it come time to vote.  Hard to pin that timing down when voting starts so early.

Sorry Charby, but there is a mountain more evidence against the Bidens than an internet rumor, a grainy photo and a human traffickers accusation.

If my mind is made up about Trump v Biden and October surprises,  it's due to years of experience. One candidate has "evidence" of scandals and crimes brought against him every single day, by the most powerful and most vocal centers of influence. The overwhelming majority of the charges evaporate, once exposed to sunlight. My mind is made up to wait for the scandal to resolve itself into the nothing it usually turns out to be.

Scandals about the Bidens used to be ignored. Now, they kick the scandals back into the shade. So I give those more credence.


So you work for CNN now?

I have heard about that guy.  I say "thin" because the emails they have seem to only mention Joe Biden in code and then this guy is testifying that the code means Joe Biden.  I don't know what other evidence they have or he has provided so it might be more substantial.  IMO, it certainly fingers Joe Biden, but is it evidence that could stand up in court?  I don't know. 
Title: Re: Hunter & Joe Biden corruption scandal
Post by: Ron on October 28, 2020, 02:54:52 PM
Joe at this point is not directly implicated by name.

All the evidence of Hunters business dealing should disqualify Joe just by nature of their father/son relationship.

It would certainly damage any President if these types of dealings came out while being in office. Apply the same story and documentation to Trump and one of his sons. Impeachment and probably actual removal from office would follow.

These pretty well documented dealings of Hunters should disqualify Joe right out of the gate.

Hunters dealings are so incredibly inappropriate that there can be no explanation.

It strains credulity to think Joe was unaware of what was going on, if not actually running the operation.

If the Republicans take the House and the Senate at the mid-terms (and that's a big 'if'), I'm sure there will be some congressional investigations into Hunter Biden's laptop.  Being that congressional investigations are where important investigations go to die, that will be the end of it.
In any event, nothing will come of this whole HB laptop thing.  As soon as something shiny and new comes up in the news cycle, it will lose any importance and fade away.

The anti-Trump hysteria was so deep, and there were (and are) so many lies spread about Trump, that I question whether it would have made enough of a difference.

Trump was guilty of the worst sin that a progressive Democrat can commit - he left the party. Therefore, they HAD to go nuclear on anything about him.

After Roberts filed a paternity suit in 2019, Hunter argued in an affidavit that he couldn’t make child support payments because he was broke, insisting that he was in “significant debt” from his divorce with ex-wife Kathleen, with whom he shares three children.

“I attest that I am unemployed and have had no monthly income since May 2019,” Hunter wrote.

Hunter, who initially denied ever having sex with Roberts, later settled out of court after a DNA test confirmed the little girl was his.

"Guilty of filing his taxes wrong and lying on a 4473... And nothing about his involvement in extorting the government of Ukraine, child porn on his laptop, illegal drug use and prostitute solicitation while in possession of an illegal gun in D.C. et alii.

Interesting that they (and most MSM outlets) seem to be emphasizing "misdemeanor" in the tax crimes, but nowhere do they mention that the 4473 crime is a felony, for which he was not prosecuted, but got pre-trial diversion.

It's also a slap in the face that he's basically walking on the felony gun charge while his dad is screaming for law abiding gun owners to be sent to penal colonies. Also, I was unaware until now that the gun in question was tossed in a trash can in a school zone.

Also I see that the liberals are telling the right to calm down and quit crying, because it was just lying on a form. They don't mention that lying on the form led to illegal possession of a gun, which is what they otherwise scream about. It's the felon taking possession of the gun after lying on the form that is the more serious crime.

Cocaine was found on premises at the White House Sunday evening and the Secret Service is investigating the incident that caused an evacuation of the premises.

A preliminary test found that the white powder substance indicated positive for cocaine, an official familiar with the investigation told the Washington Post.

The discovery came two days after Joe Biden's son Hunter, 52, visited the White House on Friday, which has perked the ears of conservatives who are pointing to the president's addict son as the source of the illegal substance.

Quote
U.S. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gulielmi told the Post that they are conducting further testing to confirm if the substance is the illegal drug.

He also said that President Joe Biden was not in the executive mansion when the substance was discovered.

Authorities are investigating how the cocaine got into the White House.

Gee, I wonder how?

Now they're saying the cocaine was found in the west wing
First it was found in the library, then they said not in the white house, now they're saying in the west wing.
Get your stories straight.

Quote
While the dispatch recording clearly says 'library,' a source familiar with the incident told DailyMail.com that the substance was not found inside the executive mansion but was discovered in a 'work area' in the west wing of the White House.

The area is used by members of the Biden administration, White House staff and hundreds of journalists.

Greatly expands the pool of number of people they can blame from a handful to hundreds.  [tinfoil]

    National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan hinted that the cocaine found at the White House likely came from construction workers working in the area for renovation instead of the Biden family.

    Sullivan noted that the space has not been in use recently as the area by the situation room has not been undergoing renovations.

    He said, "I would make a point about the Situation Room because I think there's been a lot of questionable reporting on this. The Situation Room is not in use and has not been in use for months because it is currently under construction."

If construction workers renovating the situation room (MONTHS? To redo a bleeping ROOM?  :facepalm: ) can get in with coke . . . what's to stop them from getting in with listening devices and building bugs into the situation room?

And as for the coke - they've got cameras all over the place. Review the last 72 hours of video before the coke was found to see who went in and out of the area where the coke was found and the suspects WILL be narrowed down considerably. (Also - was the baggie tested for fingerprints or contact DNA? White House security should have access to the most sophisticated and advanced cutting edge forensic technology in the world.)

If they don't know exactly who's coke it is, the top couple of SS managers of the White House security detail need to be summarily fired.

Besdies the whole "We all know who it was" thing, I don't think the Secret Service gives a damn who brought it in.  They don't prosecute drug posetion crimes.

They investigated enough to find out if their security failed, or if someone went around their security.  If the first, they updated protocols, if the second, they brought it up with that person's boss, and possibly updated protocols on going around security.  In either case they aren't going to publicly say what part of the protocols failed, were circumvented, or were changed.

They certainly aren't going to waste time running DNA on it.

The Secret Service found marijuana twice in the White House in 2022, long before cocaine was located in the West Wing.

The Secret Service revealed the information to members of Congress during a classified briefing on the investigation into cocaine found in the West Wing over the Fourth of July weekend, and confirmed the pot discoveries to Fox News Digital.

Possessing less than two ounces of marijuana is not a crime in Washington, D.C., but the substance is still not allowed on federal property — including the White House.

Now the reports are that the baggie of cocaine was destroyed.

Is it normal for law enforcement agencies to destroy evidence this quickly on "unsolved" cases?

Wouldn't wilful destruction of evidence rise to the level of criminal obstruction of justice? Or is that one of the laws that only applies to conservatives and/or republicans?

Depends on the crime.  I know of a number of cases where unclaimed, abandoned drugs couldn't be pinned on anyone and they were quickly sent off for destruction.  If it's not going to be used to prosecute someone, and couldn't be returned to the owner because it is illegal then why hold on to it?

I've also seen people told by responding officers to destroy their own drugs in lieu of charging them because it wasn't worth the paperwork over a single joint or whatever.

According to local lore there was a murder committed many years ago - well outside of living memory - and among other items collected from the scene was an unopened six pack of beer or Coca Cola or something that was essentially just present at the murder scene.  Allegedly the Sheriff's department are not allowed to destroy the evidence because it was from a murder, but there is zero chance that the murderer is alive to prosecute, that murder will ever be solved, or that the bottles will be instrumental in solving that crime.  This example is given during training to ensure police enter relevant evidence, not just everything associated with a crime.

And this just in

Quote
Hunter Biden's plea deal has collapsed in a stunning twist during his appearance in front of a judge in a federal court in Delaware.

The president's scandal-hit son said 'yes, your honor' when asked by the judge if he was going to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors, and admitted he's been to rehab six times in 20 years for addiction to drinking and drugs.

But then the judge called for a recess when an agreement between prosecutors and attorneys for the president's son dramatically fell apart.

Hunter's attorney Chris Clark said the deal was 'null and void' after top prosecutor Leo Wise said the president's son could still be charged with other crimes - including violations related to representing foreign governments.

Related, some Republicans are balking at potential impeachment inquiries. On the one hand, I agree that we don't want to lower the bar on impeachment the way the dems did (as much as I would like a spite impeachment). On the other hand, it seems that the shady dealings Biden did as VP likely have a connection to current stuff, like the way he's throwing money at the Ukis.

Judge Noreika said she saw that as being "outside of my lane," noting that if the diversion agreement might be unconstitutional, then the entire plea deal would be unconstitutional, meaning that Hunter Biden would not be getting the immunity he thought.

The judge apologized to Hunter Biden near the end of the hearing.

"Mr. Biden, I know you want to get this over with, and I’m sorry," Noreika said. "But I need to get more information to do Justice as I’m required to do."

Post by: T.O.M. on July 26, 2023, 08:51:57 PM
Here's the deal (pun intended) on judges and the ability to reject plea agreements...

Often times, a plea deal involves a prosecutor amending a charge to a lesser offense.  Often times, the proposed charge has nothing to do with the reality of the case.  For example, the new charge may ignore the actual weight of the drugs involved, or the value of property at issue.  There was a famous situation here in Ohio where a city prosecutor was pleading out a ton of traffic cases to an old statute from the 1900s which required the owner of a car kept on the street to keep a small lantern burning on the hood so the car was visible in the dark.  The judge has the complete authority to call bovine scat.  The parties can try a new deal (which they did here), the case can go to trial, or the prosecutor can dismiss the case at hand and file a new lesser charge to get the deal done around the judge.  Really, I admire this judge for taking a stand.  Too many judges just go with the flow to clear another case off the docket.

Plea bargaining is what's wrong with the system.  It encourages prosecutors to overcharge cases to give room to negotiate.  It encourages defense attorneys to look for an easy/lazy resolution that is the least bad resolution for the accused.  It encourages judges to allow legal fictions just to keep up with the docket overflowing with cases.  The problem is that plea bargaining has become such a part of the criminal system, it's hard for anyone to take a stand against it.

Just had a chance to read about what happened.  Not what I thought, but still not a bad thing on tge judge's part.  The two sides (prosecution and defense) did not agree on everything.  Didn't agree that a plea here would give Biden immunity on other cases.  He'll, on the gun case, they wanted tge judge to decide in two years if Biden had followed the terms of the agreement and whether or not the gun charge should be prosecuted after tris diversion period,  which is clearly a Constitutional, separation of powers problem.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

2) This way the big guy can also say that he takes "gun crimes" seriously. So seriously that he's good with his own son getting pinched. Nevermind the slap on the hand/pardon or whatever that follows. This will be used to push their anti-gun agenda.

Sorta.  He certainly didn't have much name recognition.  He entered the race and polling in fall 2006 with around 20% and held second place and around that 20% till Jan 2008, when he started gaining ground, then by the end of Feb 2008 he was solidly leading the primary race.  That two month sprint to take over the leave is why a bunch of folks remember him "coming out of nowhere".

Hunter suing the IRS

Quote
Hunter Biden has sued the Internal Revenue Service over claims agents illegally released his tax returns.

President Joe Biden's son claims the agency violated his privacy by unlawfully disclosing his records to members of Congress and to the news media.

The lawsuit was filed days in federal court in Washington D.C. after he was hit with three federal firearms charges for allegedly buying a gun while he was addicted to drugs.

It targets two IRS whistleblowers who testified to Congress about the income  Hunter received from his work with a Ukrainian gas company and their concerns about how Hunter was getting special treatment due to his last name.

Quote
Hunter Biden is seeking all the documents involving the disclosure of his tax information, $1,000 for each unauthorized disclosure and attorneys fees.

I am not sure how I see this one.  On one hand, the lawsuit will likely just go after the whistleblowers, not the IRS.  On the other hand, it would be nice to have precedent for getting all contact records from the IRS to go after employees leaking documents (since everyone's tax return ends up leaked anyway).  I doubt the 2nd will happen.

I read an interesting article about the prosecution of Mr. Biden on the issue of firearms purchase and drug use.  The article argued that if the Feds decide to go down that road, there will be hundreds of thousands of pot heads in states where pot is legal that could also be prosecuted.  My neighbor the gunsmith, tells stories of people being denied in his shop because they talked about marijuana use on their form 4473 since it is lawful under Washington state law but not so much under Federal law.

Nice of the Biden administration and its supporters to introduce arguments in favor of supporting States Rights, 10th Amendment Supremacy, and such into this.

Also to conflate the inhalation of a burned leafy plant that is legal in some jurisdictions but not in others, with the mucous membrane intake of a chemically refined dried extract that is universally illegal.

Also, for that article to have any relevance to the pot split legality issue, coke would have to be legal somewhere.

Since we are talking federal law here (GCA '68), it's worth pointing out that both drugs are universally illegal everywhere in the United States.  In Fact Marijuana is a Schedule I drug, and Cocaine is only a Schedule II drug, so arguably Hinter's drug use was less dangerous and less severe under the relevent laws.

So we can highlight the absurdity of Federal drug laws and Federal gun Laws in one story.

But the whole "split legality issue" is a non issue.  Pot is not legal anywhere in the US, as stated by the folks that enforce the gun laws.  If you pop up on their RADAR, they'll grab you.

And now this

Quote
The complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California states Giuliani is "primarily responsible" for the "total annihilation" of Biden's digital privacy. It also names Robert Costello, a former federal prosecutor who previously represented Giuliani, as a defendant, Fox News has confirmed.

"For the past many months and even years, Defendants have dedicated an extraordinary amount of time and energy toward looking for, hacking into, tampering with, manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over data that they were given that was taken or stolen from Plaintiff's devices or storage platforms, including what Defendants claim to have obtained from Plaintiff's alleged ‘laptop’ computer," Biden's attorneys wrote in the complaint, claiming that the date was not  even from a "laptop," but from an "external drive."

They're going to try every trick in the book and then some to deflect from what was found

From your keyboard to G-d's laptop.  I agree about '34 not being relevant, unless there's something tucked away in there about drugs.

IIRC, at the time, drug usage was pretty much none of the fed's business.

Of course, neither was alcohol, until...

IIRC you were still allowed to make your own for your own consumption

Edit: Wine

Quote
While the manufacture, importation, sale, and transport of alcohol was illegal in the United States, Section 29 of the Volstead Act allowed wine and cider to be made from fruit at home, but not beer. Up to 200 gallons of wine and cider per year could be made, and some vineyards grew grapes for home use. The Act did not prohibit the consumption of alcohol. Many people stockpiled wines and liquors for their personal use in the latter part of 1919 before sales of alcoholic beverages became illegal in January 1920.

Got ticked off when I discovered (beforehand) that you had to allow inspection by the postal authorities on demand.  AFAIK, not that I'm interested any more, that's still the case.

I make hard cider.  It's easy.

There's no way you can stop people from making alcohol.  A bottle of fruit juice with a balloon (with a pin prick) on the top of it and a pinch of yeast... or just leave the bottle open for a while to pick up wild yeast.

Illegal hobby distilling is big... there are efforts to legalize distilling for home use, but its gone nowhere so far.

IIRC, that was per family, however they defined that.

"How would they even know you're doing it?"

Doing what?

Pb: "I make hard cider.  It's easy."

I was amazed to find that freezing to concentrate the alcohol was considered "distillation" under the law, hence required taxation and the attendant licensing.

This was all quite a while ago, but I suppose not much has changed.  Quit drinking altogether in 1993, lost interest in the nitties and gritties.  Finally developed the balls to quit smoking in 2017.

Ain't I so-o-oooo noble?  And I only charge $5.00 for touching the hem of my robe.

POSTAL authorities? Did they think you might be mailing the booze?

And as someone said - how would they know?

I've known a few people making their own beer and wine and not once did any of them mention an "inspection" requirement.

As I asked before: knew what?

They may not have mentioned it if they did not know about it.  However, that may have changed by now.

IIRC, the danger of fermenting toxic alcohols is mainly if one uses natural airborne yeasts. I always used Fleischmann's packaged yeast from the bakery aisles and regular cane sugar.  Pure stuff in, known reaction, pure stuff out.

    Banks filed at least six reports concerning Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings that flagged President Joe Biden's home address in Delaware and raised concerns about possible criminal activity involving money laundering or human trafficking, according to a U.S. Senator who investigated the first family's finances for years.

    Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, the top Republican on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, told the Just the News, No Noise television show Thursday night that the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARS) chronicled about $12 million in transactions over several years, some of which passed through Joe Biden's Wilmington, Del., home where he had allowed his son to stay.

The RTDNA Foundation selected Ciprián-Matthews for her commitment to excellent and ethical journalism, especially at a time when the stakes are so high. Her leadership during some of the most challenging news stories in American history is a testament to the power of journalism.

Not even really trying to hide it are they?

Given the allegations of special treatment by the Justice Department (including blocking efforts to interview Hunter or search Biden properties), this latest report is obviously quite serious. One would expect that the CIA would simply say that no such meeting related to the Hunter Biden investigation occurred. Instead, the agency responded that it “does not obstruct investigations.” The spokesman added   “CIA does not comment on specific investigations. We can say that CIA cooperates with law enforcement partners and does not obstruct investigations. CIA also fully and routinely cooperates with our oversight committees and will continue to do so.”

Wait a minute. Wouldn't spokesman for the CIA actually be a spooksman? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's right.
