DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Biden's bribes

They dont

If they had it,, I mean, if they had the proof, they'd be setting up impeachment hearing right now.. Not next week, not in a month...RIGHT NOW..

Until they do that, I see this entire deal as another "hillary ran a brothel" thing.. Or another John Durham investigation that got nowhere. Or Barack Obama wasn't born here...

The reason you don't hear about this on MSM is because they aren't buying it., They'll all cover it if it becomes clear it's not BS

So, you don't believe the links given?

THREAD OF LIES. Debunked BS GOPer talking points intended to distract t from Trump’s CRIMINAL prosecution. Nothing in this thread is worth the bytes to store it.

I guess we'll find out, Mr. Screamer.

We already found out. Quit calling me names.

We haven't found anything out yet. Your opinion is meaningless.

No I do not

It sounds like the connection would the the timeline (?). Repeated payments over a stretch of time after a large deposit that follow a pattern.

At least I THINK that's what I got from reading the memo.

I'm with you. If there's something to go after then go after it. Nobody on our side of the political process (citizens) is going to stress over accountability.

No, he doesn't believe it... it's all #fakenews

https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-releases-devon-archers-transcribed-interview-transcript

This is sad. You're trying ro compare first hand witness accounts to second and third hand rumors. But any port in a storm I guess.

There are plenty of first hand witness accounts in the Biden case -- you call them all liars before you even hear what they have to say. Hypocrisy much?

Then bring them. Let them talk and let's see what they have to say. Thus far we have seen what they have to say. And it's pretty much the opposite of what Comer has claimed they would say.

Enough evidence of influence peddling to sink the Titanic.

Pitt: "That's not what Comer said they would say!!"

It’s so funny watching right wingers whine about hunter biden while simping for trash men like Andrew Tate.

This is why the majority of Americans roll their eyes at whatever right wingers are outraged about.

You said something about witnesses. Whose moving the goal posts now?

Yeah, well there's only one problem with that BS. That's not even close to what I said. But that's never stopped you before so why should it stop you now? Here's what I said about it when you asked my point of view since that seems to be some kind of point you're making by lying about it......


I understand how painting a false narrative has become attractive and promoted in today's society. But that's a little hard to get away with when the truth is posted on the previous page of this board.

What's the point? You do a right turn and ignore all the witness testimony.

According to you, all of this goes in the wastebasket... All because Comer said Archer would directly implicate Biden.


Devon Archer testified that the value of adding Hunter Biden to Burisma’s board was “the brand” and confirmed that then-Vice President Joe Biden was “the brand.”

Archer admitted that “Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it.” He believed that Hunter Biden being on the board and the Biden brand contributed to Burisma’s longevity. People would have been intimidated to mess with Burisma legally because of the Biden brand.

In December 2015, Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, an executive of Burisma, placed constant pressure on Hunter Biden to get help from D.C. regarding the Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption. Hunter Biden, along with Zlochevsky and Pozharski, “called D.C.” to discuss the matter. Biden, Zlochevsky, and Pozharski stepped away to make the call. This raises concerns that Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Devon Archer testified that Hunter Biden put then-Vice President Joe Biden on the speakerphone during business meetings over 20 times. Archer testified that Joe Biden was put on the phone to sell “the brand.” These phone calls include a dinner in Paris with a French energy company and in China with Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR.

Archer acknowledged that then-Vice President Biden had coffee with Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR, in Beijing. Then-Vice President Biden even wrote a letter of recommendation for college for Li’s daughter.

Archer confirmed Joe Biden was referred to as “my guy” by Hunter Biden.

In spring of 2014, then-Vice President Biden attended a business dinner with his son, Hunter, and his associates at Café Milano in Washington, D.C. Elena Baturina, a Russian oligarch who is the widow of the former mayor of Moscow, attended the dinner. Notably, the Biden Administration’s public sanctions list for Russian oligarchs does not contain Baturina.


None of that means anything "because Comer", right?

Maybe you should go back and look at what Archer was "supposed to testify to". He was supposed to show evidence that Joe Biden was directly involved with Hunter's business dealings with Burisma.

And of course your sources didn't use quotes and instead twisted what was actually said. What he did say was that Hunter was trying to sell the idea of the brand to the board.

What you have done is show that Hunter Biden is a scum bag. Something I didn't need to be convinced of.

It also neglects to say that Archer directly stated that Joe Biden NEVER discussed any business in those phone calls.

So no, I don't doubt that Hunter Biden used the fact that his father was Vice President of The United States to try to influence and make it appear to increase his value for his own personal gain.

House GOP releases new memo on Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings, reviving old claims

The president says he wasn't involved; Republicans say they don't need proof.

House Republicans on Wednesday released a 19-page memo with "new information obtained in the [Oversight] Committee's investigation into the Biden family's influence peddling schemes," according to Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the panel's chairman.

But an initial review of the document indicates that the conduct it describes draws heavily from past congressional reports and previously released testimony.

Many of the details highlighted in the new memo date back to a 2020 report published by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson, of Iowa and Wisconsin, which found that Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden's overseas business ventures were "awkward" and at times "problematic" for U.S. officials but provided no new evidence and found no instance of government policy being altered as a result.

Other parts of the memo were made public last week, when the Oversight Committee released the complete transcript of its interview with Devon Archer, a longtime former business associate of Hunter Biden.

The most notable element of the committee's memo could be its claim that it does not need to find evidence directly connecting Joe Biden to what it described as "Biden family" business efforts in order to demonstrate corruption.

Since Republicans retook the House last year, they have launched multiple investigative efforts aimed at learning more about who paid Hunter Biden in the past, when and why, and they have contended that the swirl of foreign money sullies Joe Biden himself.

In Wednesday's memo, Republicans on the oversight panel argued that critics "purport a weak defense by asserting the Committee must show payments directly to the President to show corruption."

"This is a hollow claim no other American would be afforded if their family members accepted foreign payments or bribes. Indeed, the law recognizes payments to family members to corruptly influence others can constitute a bribe," the committee's Republicans went on to write, citing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

That law warns against payments to relatives if they are used "as an indirect way of corruptly influencing ... [an] official," which GOP lawmakers haven't proven.

In closed-door testimony last week, Archer told the oversight panel that he saw no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden in connection to Hunter Biden's business dealings but described to lawmakers how Hunter Biden offered clients "the illusion of access" by promoting the "Biden brand."

The White House has repeatedly dismissed claims of misconduct by the president, saying there is no evidence that Joe Biden was or is connected to his son's business work. The president has said the same.

"House Republicans can't prove President Biden did anything wrong, but they are proving every day they have no vision and no agenda to actually help the American people. For them, it's all about partisan games and political attacks that serve themselves and get themselves attention on rightwing media – not about taking on the big challenges facing our country," White House counsel's office spokesperson Ian Sams wrote in an email to reporters on Wednesday.

House Democrats likewise pounced on the new memo, contending it is part of Republicans' "increasingly embarrassing attempt to justify their baseless calls for an impeachment inquiry."

"Committee Republicans have once again released information on financial transactions that do not involve the President," said Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the Oversight Committee. "Instead, they rehash the same Hunter Biden business dealings that Congressional Republicans identified at least three years ago."

In a statement, Comer defended his panel's work, saying in part: "The House Oversight Committee will continue to follow the money trail and obtain witness testimony to determine whether foreign actors targeted the Bidens, President Biden is compromised or corrupt, and our national security is threatened."

Here is a closer look at some of the details in the new memo.

In one case, the memo highlights a $3.5 million payment in 2014 from the wife of the former mayor of Moscow to Rosemont Seneca Thornton LLC, the business entity the committee says was co-founded by Hunter Biden and Archer.

This payment was included in the 2020 report issued by Senate Republicans, and former President Donald Trump highlighted this alleged transaction in his first debate with Joe Biden.

An attorney for Hunter Biden at the time said the claim was "false," telling ABC News that Hunter Biden had no interest in Rosemont Seneca Thornton when the payment was made and was not, as Republicans claimed, a co-founder. (This lawyer made a distinction between Rosemont Seneca Thornton and Rosemont Seneca Partners, which Hunter Biden actually did co-found.)

Politico reported that Trump also sought to engage the former Moscow mayor for business opportunities prior to his time in office.

Another major claim in the Republicans' new memo is that Hunter Biden accepted a $142,300 wire transfer from a wealthy Kazakh businessman for a sports car.

This, too, was part of the Senate report published in 2020.

Comer describes an allegation from Archer -- which was described in reporting about Archer's testimony -- that Joe Biden attended a dinner in 2014 at Washington eatery Café Milano with business associates of Hunter Biden's.

According to Archer's testimony, Joe Biden arrived and greeted guests at the 2014 dinner, sat down and "talked about the world, I guess, and the weather, and then everybody left."

I guess Comer and crew feel like if you throw up the same vomit over and over again, eventually someone who is hungry enough will eat it. That appears to be true.

“There’s this testimony now where one of your son’s former business associates is claiming that you were on speakerphone a lot with them talking business,” Doocy told Biden at a public event in Belen, N.M.

Peter Doocy crating more false information to spread among FOX News viewers asking a question he knows is based on lie to Biden in New Mexico.

Biden responded with...

“I never talked business with anybody,” Biden shot back. “And I knew you’d have a lousy question.”

Doocy pressed the president, asking him “what makes it a lousy question?”

“Because it’s not true,” Biden responded.

Crackhead loses laptop.

Laptop contains info of Hunter's business dealings including talk of 10% to the big guy.

FBI disappears laptop for two years, calls it "Russian disinformation", admin shuts down all discussion on social media.

Dozens of visits to Biden's office at the White House, from Hunter's business partners while Joe insists he's never discussed Hunter's business dealings.

Justice Department lets the statute of limitations expire on Hunter’s most blatant tax violations despite overwhelming evidence.

Justice Department seeks utterly unprecedented plea bargain that would’ve given President Joe Biden’s son blanket immunity for any crimes.

Justice Department still silent on his failure to register as a foreign agent, when that “work” was how he “earned” those millions.

IRS agents testify under oath that standard investigative steps were blocked and that they were steered away from analyzing Joe Biden’s role in his son’s enterprises, despite communications that clearly implicated him.

Meanwhile, Hunter says he can't afford to pay his mortgages or child support.

Hunter does "legal" work as a board member with a Ukrainian firm accused of bribery and his work with a Chinese businessman now accused of fraud.

Over 10M is funneled through a series of shell companies (why do that, when it's all "legal" work?) and ends up in the accounts of all Biden family members, including grandchildren.


If Joe is not the "bug guy", who is? Obama??


But, but, no DNA evidence!!

More claims based on "feelings and beliefs" rather than any factual evidence. "But he said big guy."

The funny part is you just saw them state they didn't have to directly connect it to Joe Biden to prove he was involved. Now who in the hell would say that if they had proven in any way that Joe Biden was directly involved? Yet still you believe.

Let me know when Joe Biden is indicted, you know, like the fascist orange loser.

The committee just put out a memo that said they don't have to show Joe Biden's direct involvement to prove he was directly involved. That's some direct whacked out BS to cover their own asses.

More GOPer logics.

Hunter has been paying Joe's bills

Please let me know as well.. I'm interested.

How the hell does that work?

All they have to do is follow the money. They have the bank records. They have Hunter's statements that he was paying Joe half the money.

So you are saying that Biden didn't have to have involvement in order to be involved?

Again, I ask, How the hell are they going to do that?

For a number of reasons I am not following closely at the moment and not able to post much -

That said - this post here isn't any sort of "gotcha" moment. There's way less here than say the Mueller Report. There's smoke. But nothing of substance.

The long time line posted - again, lots of smoke. Lot's of Hunter being a douche and name dropping and trying to piggee back of Daddy. I hope Hunter gets dinged for everything he's done that is unlawful. But nothing in either post is proof of anything regarding Sleepy Joe. Keep digging - I have no problem with that. I remember the angst shown towards investigating Trump - I forget what the wording was by many, but something like "an investigation in search of a crime" - or a fishing expedition... Whatever - I was fine with the highest positions in the land, appointed Supreme Justices or Politicians being investigated to the Nth degree. Left, Right, Center - they should all be held to the very highest and most transparent standard possible. But at this time I'm seeing more noise than substance with regrard to Joe B. And the noise I'm seeing is shockingly worse hearsay than anything Trump was investigated for - so there seems to be a massive double standard going on - not neccessarily you, but by the Right Wing Media machine which is no doubt where at least some of your 'facts' originate.

There is, to date, no smoking gun. I'm not trying to say anything I posted is a smoking gun. There is a body of evidence. That's what I'm providing. Evidence of what? That is still to be determined.

My issue is with the inherent bias towards taking every shred, singularly, waving one's hand (seemingly in disbelief) and refusing to give any credence to the big picture. Also, 'facts' are facts whether they all add up or not. Everything I posted is a fact.

Last night there were texts released that show "Sleepy Joe" was sharing accounts with Hunter. That too will receive the same hand wave. "Well, that doesn't really prove he knew anything".

Lastly, I'm not sure a "double-standard" is anything more than an accurate description of the media machine at large. I mean, seriously, if Trump broke wind in public, I'm sure there would be a new indictment.


I noticed you've been mia, I hope all is well. If not, consider getting it off your chest here. Either in a post or pm. It never hurts to get some non-committal input or advice.

Both of those would be direct evidence. But this far they lack such evidence.

Indictments are based on actual evidence provided to a grand jury who had the charges explained to them in relationship to what constitutes a crime being committed. The grand jury then weighs the evidence and what needed to be done to commit that crime and decides whether there is enough evidence to go to trial. And they have. 91 times. And that's just against trump alone. While I was calling what was going on the "trump crime syndicate" more in jest to combat those on the right saying "the Biden crime family", come to find out a grand jury actually found enough evidence to charge his syndicate on the RICO act.

J/c

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I can’t wait to see the evidence used in the charging of Biden… I bet it looks like the tooth-fairy or a leprechaun, straight from crap people make up land.

I really do wish GOPers would find something substantial; I’m getting tired of all the winning Biden brings us.
