Here's what I don't get.  Even if it's all true, so what.  This would really be a nothingburger.  Ignoring that the entire thing is made up fantasy land for a minute, even if it were true, Biden's son used Biden's name to enter into a business agreement in a time period when Biden was a private citizen.  There's nothing even scandalous about that.

everything is scandalous if a democrat is doing it.  or hadn't you heard?

What you're obviously missing is that it's the biggest political scandal of all time and that Biden should be in prison because of it. 

Or wait, was that the fake treason one? I'm getting his stupid bullshit stories confused.

Joe Biden was Vice President at the time. It would have taken you less time to simply google that than to write your post, but sadly this is the world we live in. Here is an quote from a Reuters article from a year ago:

"In an interview with ABC News aired Tuesday, Hunter Biden said in retrospect it may have been poor judgment to join Burisma’s board while his father was vice president"

Did Joe know what his son was doing or how much money his son was making despite having no experience in energy and having been recently discharged from the Navy Reserve for cocaine abuse? We don't know and Joe isn't talking about it. This could be as simple as a black sheep son making a bad decision and a dad choosing to not throw his son under the bus. I have no doubt Trump is dirtier, but the silence from Biden on this is deafening and the lack of media attention from the MSM is annoying as it only fans the flames of the "fake news" fire.

I wasn't referring to Burisma.  I was referring to the Bobulinski thing.  In 2017.

The hits just keep on coming. This is a Fox News reporter.

 

GRHorn will still be waiting. 

Fox News is trying very hard to thread the needle and so far is doing a decent job. They desperately want Biden to win because they realize they make a lot more money when the EVIL LIBERAL SOCIALIST DEVIL DEMON RATS are in control and ACTIVELY DESTROYING THE COUNTRY. The constant victimhood strategy suffers when the GOP is in control. That's why they've pivoted to covering DEMOCRAT CITY AND STATE HELL HOLES. 

What will be interesting is the challenge from the Trump News Network.

Why would you make fun of old Jarrett?  My parents always taught me to be nice to the retards.  They weren't very politically correct but their hearts were in the right place.

Show me where Joe Biden ever was involved or received money from anyone in China or tied to a Chinese state entity. You fucking can’t you troll. 
 

It’s insane to me that history is repeating with Trump accusations. You know what his biggest critique of Hillary was? That she was running a corrupt and fraudulent non profit that improperly benefited her family. Guess which of the two had their family foundation dissolve because of fraud?

Now it’s the same shit but with China. Trump took millions in payments from the Chinese tied to foreign business *while fucking President* - that is actually provable.  Now go get your shine box

Let me get this straight: You believe that the entire Trump family, Rudy Guiliani, the WSJ, OAN, Radcliffe, Durham, and Fox News all have seen and have access to additional information and evidence that will, at minimum, cement Joe Bide as corrupt and sink his presidency, and all those entities are just telling you, just 10 days before an election when tens of millions of voters have already voted, "wait until we show it to you!"

Is it because they like a challenge?

I'm not looking to argue. Before I can even argue I need to know what it is I'm up against.

I don’t want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don’t understand. You can say it’s my job to fight (post about) it, but I don’t know what it is anymore. More than that, I don’t want to know. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He would have to say, okay, I’ll be part of this world.

The ol’ workmate my wife story. 

The chances of this being real are the same as Texas winning the MFC. 

I'm imaging Biden's team of wi-fi snipers sitting in a van just cursing themselves as they watch Jarret drive to a store to use that wi-fi.

I’ve got it!  Let’s make this weird and complex story even more weird and complex.  We’ll spend the whole next week with lead chryons about who debunked what!

If Biden were running against anyone but trump, hunter getting a no show job for 100k a month from a private holding company that, let’s be real, is a front for Ukrainian oligarchs while his father is sitting VP would be a legitimate scandal. One of those things that is legal but stinks of everything that is morally wrong with political privilege and should cause outrage regardless of party. But that’s baby shit alongside what Trump is doing, so they are trying to manufacture a conspiracy with China where Joe is a silent partner. It’s only working among people who were already voting for Trump

I’ve talked about this before: the foreign influence game is suuuper seedy, but also very lucrative.  Particularly if it’s former Soviet republics or the Middle East. Personally, I won’t even associate with those guys, on the off chance I catch a whiff of the stink. 
 

I don’t think Joe Biden did anything wrong here, and Hunter Biden is a grown ass man who can do what he wants, but it’s a terrible look and everyone in DC knows it, include Joe Biden.

I think I’m willing to let it slide this time. You know. To save democracy.

I mean, it seems clear that various foreign interests were attempting to use Hunter as a conduit for influence over his father, and in turn, the Obama administration.

Because Hunter, as an unrecovered alcoholic/drug addict, is a compromised person, he was willing to accept these attempts for his own personal gain.  This is a sad story of Hunter.  https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/07/08/will-hunter-biden-jeopardize-his-fathers-campaign

That much seems clear.

There is, however, precisely zero evidence that these various foreign interests were able to parlay their "employment" of Hunter into influence over Joe or the Obama administration.

To me, but I have the special perspective of a recovering person, it shows the difficulty of being a parent of an addict and demonstrates to me that Joe has handled it pretty well, "loving from a distance," as we say in the community.

Kramer: All right, Coney Island. Ok, you can take the B or the F and switch for the N at Broadway Lafayette, or you can go over the bridge to DeKalb and catch the Q to Atlantic Avenue, then switch to the IRT 2, 3, 4 or 5, but don't get on the G. See that's very tempting, but you wind up on Smith and 9th street, then you got to get on the R.

I think if Biden had had an inkling he would ever run again he would have put his foot down. Of course you can’t control your adult family members. Still it’s one of those legal but immoral situations and is worthy of criticism in normal times.
