    He wasn’t a billionaire and may still not be. Although running for office had been a lucrative business for him. At least it paid legal fees.

    Bill Barr was just a Trump stooge. He did whatever Trump told him to do. But Trump shake hands with North Korean dictator.

    Jared Kushner is very rich too.

    What happened Ukraine in 2015 with Shokin was addressed in the other thread Rick. With links from Foreign Policy in 2016. Not going to repeat myself. This investigation was set up by Barr. Garland didn’t change it. Until today when he broadened Weiss’ powers.

    You're right. Donald Trump was not a billionaire until he became supreme leader of the United States. Now Donald Trump is very rich. Jared had more money than Donald. It's true. And remember Trump is friends with Putin and Un. Oligarchs stick together. But Trump wasn't really an oligarch like Putin.

    Barr hid everything. Trump orchestrated it all. Garland is our savior.

    This Hunter Biden fixation some have is such a laughable deflection. I mean think about it. People who said a nary a word about the crimes and outrages of their hero Trump now have their panties all in a wad over Hunter Biden! This isn't to excuse Biden, but to point out the utter hypocrisy - probably the worst I've ever seen in this site - of those fixated on him.

    Anybody who voted for Trump should ignore any and all corruption by others. Only ones who have not supported Trump or voted for him have the right to criticize corruption. Honestly, if you voted for Trump....you shouldn't be allowed to vote again or express an opinion, because it's Trump. You supported Trump and you don't deserve to have any voice in politics, voting or anything. You shouldn't even be allowed to shop at the grocery for food, because a Trump voter smells soooooooo bad. Anybody who has voted for Trump should lose their voting rights and be imprisoned for expressing any grievances with corruption involving any politicians. Trump is just such a bad, bad, bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad person, that anyone who supported him or said something positive about him have effectively forfeited their constitutional rights and they should not be allowed to speak. I call on the THFSG moderators to ban any poster who has openly supported Trump AND criticized Hunter Biden. There are very rare circumstances where the 1st amendment doesn't apply and this is one of them. Also, there should be a public registry for those who have voted for Donald J. Trump. Like the offender registry, they should have to be registered and frankly, I'm not against camps for these people. Put them in camps. Muzzle them. They are sub-human. God bless Hunter Biden. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. The prodigal son. Leave Hunter alone!!!

    Typical fact adverse post.

    Correct.

    He addressed the exact subject you brought up, it's the subject YOU raised.

    Well, you got the defect part right, except it's your position that's defective.

    I responded to your comment about Biden threatening Ukraine to withhold Billions RIck. He told Petroshenko that if they didn’t fire Shokin, the IMF, EU and US would pull billions on reconstruction aid after the revolution. Because Shokin was corrupt. Not to protect Burisma

    Nobody rational cares about an investigation into Hunter Biden. Or if Hunter Biden is corrupt. This is just what Trump called for in his “perfect call”— just announce an investigation into Joe Biden. And this investigation concerns Hunter. The issue people rational people keep raising is: where is the evidence of corruption by Joe Biden? All we hear about is the carefully worded, “Biden family.” Which includes Joe, but doesn’t really name him. Very carefully. And there is evidence of real corruption of any kind. None of them were involved in the government. Except Beau who at one time was in the military. And isn’t named in any of this. For evident reasons. So far, you are screaming about corruption with zero evidence of any kind. There is nothing illegal about doing business or even doing business, even with scumbags. The reason Weiss was given special counsel powers is because he is prosecuting and investigating the son of the president. If the right wing can identify corruption by Joe Biden, then we will be all ears. You just want to believe. And the people who call out the hypocrisy with Trump are spot on. The same GOP that ran interference for his open use of office for personal purposes and saw the business he and his family were doing with foreign governments are now leading the charge and calling for an impeachment inquiry with zero evidence. What do you think his “perfect call” was about? Proof matters. This isn’t the X files.

    Good Lord, aren’t you cute!

    Where have I defended Hunter Biden? More importantly, are you really so clueless about what hypocrisy is? Let me try to explain it to you one more time: it’s NOT that you voted for Trump. Rather, it’s that while you rant and rave about Hunter Biden, you either remain mute about Trump’s far, far worse crimes, or excuse them altogether.
    (Besides, one’s the president’s son, and the other WAS the president.)

    But here’s a truism: rare is the person who’ll admit he’s a hypocrite, and never an intellectually dishonest or lazy one.

    The mythical Biden crime family. An organization that exists only in the minds of the right-wing media and certain Republican politicians. If one wants to compare a politician to a Mafia boss this is much closer to reality.
    Comey says Trump reminded him of Gambino mob boss
    Waiting for the "Off-topic" rating; the "Orange Man is bad" response; or the line that "TDS is real".
    I might add that Comey as an Assistant US Attorney actually prosecuted organized crime figures.

    It works. The GOP desperately needs an equivalency. But This is Billy Carter stuff.
