“17 Tapes” Is The Latest Attempt By Republicans To Smear Joe Biden

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Have they heard these 17 tapes? No. Have they heard maybe 10 of the tapes? No. How many tapes have they heard? Zero. They’ve heard zero tapes. Because the whole thing is just another part of the extended fantasy tale that Rudy Giuliani brought to them years ago. Like the missing whistleblower and the fake “FBI document,” Republicans know this is all a lie. They just don’t care.

Exactly.

Republicans are as ridiculous as they are dishonest.

The GOP doesn't need to 'smear' Joe Biden...
He's a walking, talking 'Depends'-wearing shit stain all by himself



God save the queen...

Trump is a scumbag – dishonest, corrupt, and a criminal.

In a failed and pathetic attempt to portray President Biden as being ‘just as bad,’ the dishonest right contrives and spreads all manner of lies about the president, the ’17 tapes’ being one of countless examples.

Indeed, conservatives are so stupid they aren’t even aware of the fact that their failed attempts to smear President Biden is an admission of Trump’s corruption and criminality.

Here’s a hot tip for anyone trying to peddle a lie: Add a number. Don’t make it too big, or too vague, like “millions.” If you’re talking about stealing an election, 450,000might work. Or 33,000. Or maybe 5,000. But really, all those numbers are a little suspiciously neat. To really make this thing work, the number has to be something solid. Something specific.

Like 17. Now there’s a number.

If you’ve seen that number in the news this week, it’s probably been as part of the latest “scandal” that Republicans have whipped up about President Joe Biden. If you haven’t seen it, count yourself lucky, but don’t think it’s going to last. Because Republicans, led by pidgin expert Sen. Chuck Grassley and whistleblower-hatingRep. James Comer, are claiming that there are “17 tapes” that document their claims of a bribery scandal connected to Biden and his son Hunter.

Have they heard these 17 tapes? No. Have they heard maybe 10 of the tapes? No. How many tapes have they heard? Zero. They’ve heard zero tapes. Because the whole thing is just another part of the extended fantasy tale that Rudy Giuliani brought to them years ago. Like the missing whistleblower and the fake “FBI document,” Republicans know this is all a lie. They just don’t care.


The make-believe scandal that Republicans are now pretending to investigate goes back to May 1, 2019. That’s when Rudy Giulani brought a tale of intrigue, bribery, and blackmail to The New York Times, without any evidence, and the Times did what it does when Guilani brings them anything: They ran it without question.

The claim from the start was based around the fact that while Joe Biden had been vice president, his son Hunter had been on the board of a Ukrainian energy firm called Burisma. In March 2016, Biden pressured Ukraine to fire a prosecutor named Viktor Shokin, heavily hinting that U.S. aid might be withheld if Shokin wasn’t dropped. From this, Giuliani spun a story that Shokin had been investigating Burisma and Biden had him fired to protect his son’s paycheck.

It took less than a week for Bloomberg News to do what The New York Times had skipped over in their efforts to act as a Giuliani transcription service. Bloomberg sent reporters to Ukraine, interviewed officials, checked with Giuliani’s supposed sources, and looked back at the very well documented, very public events. They immediately showed that everything Giuliani was claiming was nonsense.

The reason that Biden put pressure on Ukraine over Shokin was because he was refusing to investigate Burisma. And not just Burisma. Shokin was such a corrupt prosecutor that he was allowing oligarchs to do as they pleased, so long as they shared a little of their profits. It was actually a probe by the U.K.’s Serious Fraud Office that opened the door on how corrupt Shokin was, and how his failure to investigate was turning Ukraine into a hotspot for international criminals. Getting rid of Shokin was a critical step in the fight against corruption in Ukraine.

Shokin himself has even confirmed that he was never investigating Burisma, which is all the testimony that’s needed to show that the whole thing is a farce. The truth is that Biden completely ignored how his actions might damage his son’s income in order to do the right thing in stopping corruption. And, no matter what Giuliani, Trump, or innumerable Republicans have said since then, there is not, was not, has not been, any evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe Biden or Hunter Biden in Ukraine.

But just because a crime doesn’t exist has never stopped Republicans from continuing to “investigate.” Since Republicans gained control of the House, that has meant Rep. James Comer cornponing his way across right-wing media repeating claims he knows are not true. Because truth has f*** all to do with it.

That’s how many months are left before the Democrats take back the House.

Well, kiss my grits. Skewers thinks airing Biden's own words on video is mean.

 

[Ringo]

"The U.S. House Oversight Committee has received evidence that shows investigators believe illegal bribe payments to Joe Biden and his family to the tune of "$20 million to $30 million."

Come on. Even the ukrainian junkie clown got a lot more

I see why you look up to and support Biden - he is clearly more intelligent and more honest than you.

The fact that you actually made that comment after 7 years of non-stop Hillary Hoaxes, failed Obama / Democrat coups, criminal Pelosi / Schiff Impeachments, Constitutional / Rule of Law violations, Dems like Bragg running their entire campaigns on promises to arrest Trump without having / seeing a crime, selective partisan attempted prosecutions, and the never-ending Democrat enforcement of their 2-tiered, 3rd world vanana republic injustice system proves you are a partisan, Democrat/Party-1st (not American-1st) POS.

I love how you and those liberal, TDS-suffering, Biden-apologist, Dem sac-lickers constantly accuse others of beibg who YOU are and of doing what YOU have done / do.

How curious.

It seems that the far left needed no proof to eagerly swallow any bogus claims about President Trump.

You now know for a FACT something is true when Democrats, leftist MSM, snowflakes, trolls, & bots call it a 'Conspiracy Theory'...

...after so many of them have turned out to be accurate.

Lock downs and masks did work, I still do not think it has been proven the virus came from the lab and I do not recall anyone seriously saying it did not, just that it had not been proven. And when it has been proven, what difference does it make? There is indeed a border crisis, immigration policy needs to be updated but the Repubs will never do it because it is one of the issues that fire the base up. If Hunter did something wrong arrest him, if Joe did something wrong impeach him, but it appears you guys cannot prove either. Trump had Hunters computer first. Trump on stage with Putin saying he trusted him more than our guys is enough collusion for me.

Trump was proven to be correct - Putin was / is more trustworthy.

You can trust an evil, former KGB leader / communist dictator to be exactly what he is.

No one suspected Joe Biden and his family to be so criminal, of Democrats capable of openly violating Constitution and law, abusing their power and govt agencies to illegally spy on Americans and a President, to run the Hillary hoax and use it as the basis for a failed coup attempt and criminal Impeachments, to run a 7-year campaign to get Trump, to target, oppress, & punish Parents, Americans, Christians, & Conservatives.


All it took for you was to see Trump on a stage with Putin saying he trusted him for you to believe in the proven Hilary Hoax...yet the Bidens taking millions from China, Russia, Romania, Ukraine, Burisma, etc..., Hunter's criminal laptop, financial documents, whistleblowers and witnesses are not enough for you to believe Joe Biden and his family are corrupt / criminals?!

WTF...seriously?!

Indeed. Please lecture us some more about dishonest and corrupt. Indeed, lecture us about the dishonest and corrupt Dems / Marxists who pushed the Russia collusion hoax for years, knowing it was a fraud.

Indeed, lecture us about the dishonest and corrupt lackeys at the FBI and DOJ who still haven’t charged Hunter Biden with a federal firearms violation for lying on a firearms application.

You connect unconnected things. Trump/Putin does not effect my thought on COVID or Bidens or Hunters laptop. They are connected in your head because the drone in the RWNM.

 

[easyt65]

Hardly. You mentioned 'Trust'.

Putin has been true to who he is, who he has always been, and who he has always shown himself to be.

Democrats have just 'come out of the closet', demonstrating their 'F* it, we don't care who knows it because no one can stop us' attitude the last 7 years.

You WANT to believe Trump is guilty of the Hillary Hoax & all it takes for you to believe it is Trump standing on a stage with Putin saying he trusts Putin...

...meanwhile snowflakes, trolls, & bots ignorie the overwhelming evidence of crimes committed by not only tbe Bidens but Democrats like Hillary, Obama, Rice, Brennan, Comey, Wray, Pelosi, Schiff, etc..

They have all violated the trust of the American people, not to mention the Constitution, laws, etc...

the evidence for all these little conspiracies is always just out of reach for you guys. At least since Monica's dress. It makes you guys look less than creditable to say the least. Trump sucking up to Putin does make a difference. I do agree it looks like the Dems just punk you all the time for the last 7 or more years, cause you guys get all worked up about fantasy stuff, just to keep your base riled up.
