Where do we even start with this guy?

Major revelations being unveiled this week regarding the son of the President.

Only earlier this week it was confirmed new york times supressed a story about Hunter in lead up to president election 2020 as to not dirty the image of his father to voters.

Let's not forget him selling his "art" for upto 500,000 dollars a peice to "private buyers" earlier on in the year.

Republicans will subpoena hunter should they win majority in midterms which they are heavily favoured to do.

It's about time someone got to the bottom of this Hunter business but I suspect the democrats will make sure very little gets revealed.

Before anyone says it's me making up things over two thirds of Americans agree with me.

I don’t see the purpose in a congressional hearing for Hunter Biden? He’s already being investigated by the DOJ - under 3 different Presidents. Probes began into Hunter Biden during the Obama Administration. They continued in the Trump administration. They continue today under the Biden administration with no indication of interference, or fired FBI directors. Political grandstanding doesn’t serve the interests of these investigations.

I don’t see how this poll though serves as evidence any of your claims aren’t made up: it’s a Rasmussen poll asking respondents if they feel the story is ‘important’ - and opinion polling, generally, doesn’t serve as proof that an allegation is real. Many Americans believe the earth is flat; over a third believe in creationism.

I had no idea that hunter Biden was a politician or a representative .

Two thirds of likely voters only equates to a little over one third of the electorate. So no, two thirds of Americans do not agree with you.

Surely it is key to note that HB has no capacity in government. He is a private citizen. He doesn’t even have a Biden Foundation or Biden Organization or Biden DC Hotel - or a peanut farm, to run for his dad. He hasn’t been given a job at the White House, hasn’t even been sent to meet with foreign dignitaries at the UN, etc.

Re: GOP hearings, just to reiterate, the investigation(s) against Hunter have already moved to the Grand Jury stage. No apparent need for a Congressional set of hearings (which have, since when, replaced the criminal justice system? Hunter Biden is not impeachable, he's not a member of government)

https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/598635-hunter-biden-paid-off-tax-liability-amid-ongoing-grand-jury

For recap: At this point, investigators have done their work, uncovered material that a prosecutor believes constitutes crime(s). The prosecutors bring this one-sided evidence to a Grand Jury. A Grand Jury is selected among the people, like regular jurors, but usually for a full year to be jurists for all manner of potential criminal cases. If they agree there is a 'there' there, Hunter Biden will be indicted for crimes as determined by the Grand Jury, after which Hunter Biden would have opportunity to defend himself from such indictment.

Well I just don't see how it's relevant, it's not in the public interest, he is just a person like any other.

Overheal

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118839483#Comment_118839483

TBF it's still in the public interest; the thing he's suspected of doing include unregistered foreign lobbying, so it's not the same as eh, teenage Chelsea Clinton getting a DUI or something (don't quote me on that). Heck, it's not even the same as saying Hunter's drug charges deserve national attention (they don't imho)

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118839238#Comment_118839238

I think that's fair enough, but then you see the person who made the statement further say that it's not a matter of public interest.

That's the attitude I was referring to.

Where do we even start with this guy?

Can start with his name - who the fcuk calls their child ‘Hunter’? As Bradley Walsh said about ‘Fanny Chmelar’ -

“If that were my name I’d be straight down the Courthouse in the morning to change it”

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118839501#Comment_118839501

As you pointed out, he has not even been indicted yet. Fair enough though, if he is convicted for a crime that includes leveraging his familial ties to lobby a foreign government, then I agree it would be in the public interest. Many steps to go, what is the threshold for launching an investigation? It looks to me like a political agenda to try to tarnish President Biden's reputation without even a conviction of this relative or even an indictment. Genetics are not a valid reason to prejudice somebody either. And in the opening post we get unflattering pictures of a guy who has not been convicted, is not a public figure and deserves personal privacy. It's clearly trash. I don't know why I would take it seriously until I see a conviction.

Plus, the outcome might not be criminal indictment, but lesser civil offenses, and having to pay back restitutions. When the Trump campaign laundered foreign donations etc. it simply paid fines. Here, Hunter Biden could simply end up being court ordered to register as a FARA lobbyist. He's already repaid his tax burdens.

Ahhh those republicans. always deflecting away from the crimes of 45 so they can pretend they have a political party and not useful idiots in perpetual servitude.

That's certainly one of their political challenges. I fully anticipate that,

• If they don't see Hunter Biden frogmarched in handcuffs for the cameras, arrested in a no knock raid in his underwear, etc. they will accuse the DOJ of political corruption.
• If they did so happen to see that unfold, they'd still be mad, and conjure it as ammunition for impeaching the President.

Either way the party's agenda clearly is removal of the President, and ironically, relitigating the 2020 election. I say ironically, because during the first impeachment of Donald Trump (and even the 2nd) the GOP made a great big huff that they saw impeachment as tantamount to undoing an election, and essentially trying to set a standard that if the POTUS was voted for, they are therefore unimpeachable (?!)

The Hunter Biden laptop leaks were epic

I imagine his life is just one continuous "Leaving Las Vegas" epic.

I hope he gets his head together long enough to write an epic "semi-autobiographical" book about his life, or even a book on one of his benders a-la Hunter S Thompson's seminal work. I bet he even has a Samoan attorney side-kick. And no, his current auto-biography is really just a hagiography

More than a few details. Trump was the President, Hunter Biden is not. The first impeachment was because of a WH phone call, the other was because of a (failed) autocoup. Hunter also can't host half the Senate at Camp David to woo them over, like Trump did.

One important difference among many, is that Hunter Biden is not the president of the United States.

Hunter flew in with his father who was on official state business, then appears to have become involved in highly suspicious activity in both China and Ukraine. Burisma were paying him $83k a month despite the fact that he has no experience or credentials, apart from the fact that his father was in charge of US policy regarding Ukraine. There is enough there to draw suspicions of abuse of power and corruption.

If that is an attempt to deflect back at a Trump supporter then I'm afraid your efforts are wasted, Trump is a nutcase buffoon. Doesn't mean Hunter's dodgy deals while accompanying the vice president magically go away.

How depressingly predictable that another conversation about a quite serious issue gets **** derailed with people obsessing over the need to turn anything and everything into a discussion about trump.

Trump fans and trump detractors. Give it a **** rest.

You mean the story that was called false until it was proven true? That story?.

A story about the sitting presidents junkie son who was given a job in Ukraine (you may have heard about that place) despite being exceptionally unqualified for it, who left a laptop in a shop which had incriminating evidence which may have implicated his father, the president of America, in some less than above board practices?

Yeah that's nothing.

Because that would be mad if that was what you meant.

Quite serious is nonsense. A Republican committee already looked into this and *shock horror* found nothing https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/23/us/politics/biden-inquiry-republicans-johnson.html

This is just more Russian misinformation that the right have clung unto but unlike Clinton's emails which insanely the MSM spent months upon months of wasted time making it the biggest story when there was nothing they thankfully are not falling for this bulls**t.

The business practices of Ivanka Trump and her husband and Eric/Don Jr are far more murky than Hunter Biden and they played key role in Trump Whitehouse unlike Hunter Biden who is a complete nobody.

What exactly is big about it?

Not making fun of his issues in saying this, but he was a crack addict that was trying to trade off his family name until people handing him money copped he was a bullsh*tter quarantined from Biden et al by handlers.

He had a laptop with, presumably, documents relating to his no-show job in Ukraine and (apparently) videos of him with brazzers.

Apart from being a tremendous personal embarrassment to the Biden family, what's the earth shattering scandal?

If this falls flat on its face, which I'm predicting it will, are you willing to eat crow and concede you were getting a chubby off the back of American right wing media and residual Trumpite conspiracy theorists?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118841104#Comment_118841104

It's a very important story because it's the son of a now sitting president who had an extremely high paying job which he was grossly under qualified for, in a country which was known for ridiculous levels of corruption, a country which his father laughed and joked about withholding money from.

It was also big because of how anyone referencing the story was treated like a mad "trumpite" conspiracy theorist (you couldn't help but reference trump again I see).

Until now, when it's gone from not being a lie, to true, but not important.

It's a big story. No matter what way you look at it.

And no, i won't "eat crow" or concede I was getting an erection if the story of it turns out to be less than incredibly important.

Why would I? I see the way the media treated this story as very important and genuinely telling as to how people have reacted to it. Regardless of whether you like Biden or not, you should be appalled that the media didn't do their due diligence, or that they purposely buried the story to benefit Biden.

It's the job of the media to tell us the **** news. Not suppress it. This news was undeniably suppressed.

He is a tool to say the least and he's already been looked at multiple times including the Republicans who found nothing, lets see what this brings. Either way it is a handy talking point for some, same as the complaints about nestle not providing formula as a look over here tatic coming out of Russia.

Snake Plisken

Ahh the Hunter Biden Laptop New York Post Story that was suppressed by Twitter and to a lesser extent Facebook during the run up to the 2020 elections. Those who think this doesn't show that Biden snr is compromised due to his son's dealings in Ukraine Of interest is Hunter sitting on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings where he was being paid thousands of dollars yet wasn't qualified for the role. An email on the laptop indicated Hunter introduced his father to an adviser, then vice president tomert an advisor on the board of Burisma.

The usual Biden apologists will try and dismiss the story or try and deflect with the old look over there at Trump!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118841165#Comment_118841165

Lol what?

Is that a dig at me because on a different thread, I said I wouldn't criticise nestle for supplying baby food to russia?

You do realise that isn't at all the same as complaining that they aren't providing baby formula? It's actually almost the opposite.

You do realise that don't you?

Yet you accuse others of using a look over here tactic.

Jesus. The delusion is strong in this one.

Nope it is a point that what could be most politely described as the person who made the idiot like claims that Zelenskyy wants Russian babies to starve, when he never said that, and are now all over this with the same level of accuracy and understanding, while claiming everyone else is delusional.

The issue is how the story was buried rather than Hunter's behaviour tbh. You can argue sincerely that Hunter when all said is done is no worse than the Trump kids, but its still an astonishing journalism failure how the story was supressed and laughingly dismissed as " Russian propaganda by some.

None of your post addresses where exactly is the earth shattering scandal.

It's been with the FBI at least since 2018, been subject to a Republican Senate investigation.

All we have is Hunter with a bullsh*t no-show job, and some alleged sex tape.

No evidence that he induced government wrongdoing or anything that implicates anyone that isn't a crack addict.

The 'biolab angle' I will call out now as complete horsesh*t from Russia, neatly tied in to covid conspiracy peddlers.

I'll eat crow if there is any substance to that, but you need to be prepared to eat crow when nothing comes of it.

Get your head screwed on. There's a war on where one of the parties is a dictatorship is known to use every dirty trick in the book, including sowing nonsense tinfoil hat stories in the Western media environment and seeing what will flower and what morons will run with it.

Hunter was a crack addict trying and failing to peddle his name for money. If there's evidence of malfeasance on US government officials or even Joe Biden himself, let it be known and let it be prosecuted.

But for now, you'll have to accept all you have is a crackhead with a bullsh*t job and videos of him with hookers. You're welcome to spend your days trying to convince people this is some sort of Watergate moment, but I'm welcome to point out you're far more likely to be wasting large parts of your brain with a Russian disinformation project.

MisterAnarchy

The crux of the matter is that Joe Biden originally dismissed the laptop as a Russian plant and a bunch of garbage.

He knew then that what he was saying wasn’t true. He knew the contents were real. He lied to the American people.

The matter was buried by the Mainstream media, Twitter etc for the best part of 18 months.

I see the usual suspects are in early to the thread, no longer are they labelling someone who disagrees with them a Trumpist, the new compliment is Putinbot. Classy as always.
