Did republican committee press conference present any proof of a crime?

[Lord Long Rod]

They did not. There was not a shred of any evidence of any criminal wrongdoing whatsoever in that memo.

They no recap of any evidence. They simply looked at the entries, and made up a story about them.

So, if you have a dead body but you lack evidence of guilt, you just drop it? Nope. Criminal cases are built on various types of evidence and drawing inferences therefrom. The evidence in the hands of Congress is potentially probative of criminal activity. The suspiciousness of financial activity in Biden bank records justifies further investigation. At this point, the Biden corruption case is the equivalent of a murder case where a suspect has blood stains in the trunk of the car that matches his wife's blood. Either he will confess or he will give an explanation such as "Oh, uh, yeah, she bumped her head while getting groceries out of the trunk.

Any answers to these, Simp?

• If this was just a legit business of Hunter why do they need 20 LLCs instead of just one?
• What services did Hunter provide to these foreign entities and governments?
• What services did Joe's young grandchildren perform to get paid what they were paid?
• For that matter, what services did any of the 12 Biden family members perform?
• Why were payments split up into multiple payments of the same amount to multiple companies?
• Did all 12 Biden family members report these payments on their tax returns?

Remember, Comer just sent subpoenas to a few of their associates. Many more are coming, so this is most likely the tip of the iceberg.

 

[Lord Long Rod]

I didn't say they had to present anything. I said they didn't present any proof of wrong doing.

Not yet, sweetheart. But they produced a LOT of suspicious activity that would cause a reasonable person to take notice. Criminal investigations take time in most cases.

 

[Dragonlady]

You almost make a decent point, to wit: We do not know all of the particulars in possible business dealings. However, a lot of the money is going into accounts controlled by Joe, while he was VP. Why would he not disclose and divest such interests given his position? Moreover, why is it that legitimate explanations of all of the financial dealings of Joe and his scumbag family not forthcoming? Nobody in Joe's fucked up family has anything to sell anybody worth the amount of money being deposited in the Biden network of LLCs,, trusts, etc...

I saw absolutely no evidence of that whatsoever. Joe would’ve been legally required to disclose any kind of financial position he held in any company whatsoever, and to put such investments into a blind trust prior to his assuming office. Ditto any directorships or offices held.

But on the other hand, why would Hallie Biden sell out her country for $35,000? Why was there a mortgage on Joe Biden’s house when he retired if he’s getting millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks. For a lifelong crime family, they sure sell out cheap. Jared Kushner got $2 billion

Last, but not a least, what did any of these foreign governments get out of it? Joe Biden hasn’t lifted tariffs which Donald Trump did after his kids got gifts from the Chinese. Joe Biden publicly exposed the Chinese spying program and called the Chinese to account when they found a balloon flying over. 4 such balloons flew over the US when Trump was in office, and none were shot down.

Donald Trump’s trade war with China lead the Chinese to purchase grain from South America. Now the Chinese are heavily investing in infrastructure and deep sea ports to enable the import of South American grain and the export of Chinese goods to South America.

Trump also gave XI a free hand to build relationships in Africa through his Silk Road infrastructre iniatives.

I have answered all of these questions and more. I can’t help it if you are incapable of reading or understanding the explanations. Or of googling the answers for yourself.

 

[Rumpole]

I just watched the entire repub press conference, and read the transcript. I didn't find any proof of a specific crime that was supposed to have been committed. Can somebody please indicate the specific point in the news conference where proof of a specific crime was mentioned? There is no shortage of innuendo, bur republicans have never had a problem supplying unlimited amounts of that.

And the ho hummer of the year award goes to........

The House GOP

Congratulations!

"A 65-page report, a press conference, and nothing to show for it"

Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden

Republicans’ big investigation into the Biden family has revealed … not a lot.

The House GOP accused Joe Biden and his family on Wednesday of engaging in business with foreign entities—but were unable to provide any actual evidence linking the president to any wrongdoing.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer released a 65-page memo detailing a sprawling investigation into Biden and some of his relatives, particularly his son Hunter Biden. Nowhere in the massive document was there a specific allegation of a crime committed by Biden or any of his relatives.

The memo accuses the Biden family of involvement in a “scheme to peddle influence” in Romania from 2015 to 2017, as well as financial dealings with individuals in China. Hunter Biden’s name comes up repeatedly. But the memo contains scant details of all of these alleged dealings, nor does it contain any evidence that any laws were broken or that Biden was involved in his son’s Chinese business.

“He continues to bombard the public with innuendo, misrepresentations, and outright lies, recycling baseless claims from stories that were debunked years ago,” Raskin said in a statement.

“Once again Chairman Comer has failed to provide factual evidence to support his wild accusations about the President. He continues to bombard the public with innuendo, misrepresentations, and outright lies, recycling baseless claims from stories that were debunked years ago. Unable to implicate the President directly, Committee Republicans have resorted to using cherry-picked bank records, misrepresentations about confidential and unverified bank reports known as SARs, and baseless conspiracy theories to attack the President’s family, including his grandchildren. As Republicans use their oversight powers to advance this tiresome and aging smear campaign, they refuse to honor their public commitment to investigate former President Trump and former senior White House advisor, Jared Kushner, their hundreds of LLCs, and the billions of dollars they collected directly from autocratic and corrupt foreign governments. If they’re in search of presidential corruption by foreign powers, the undisputed champion is their own guy.”

Aside from Joe lying about never getting any money from China.....Every American should ponder the possibility that Joe Biden has been compromised. That's not a conspiracy theory, that is a very real possibility. To state that it is not possible is absurd. Remember the spy balloon?..Smooth sailing . Consider the unrealistic push for EV's, Wind turbines, Solar Panel etc.. that clearly favor the wealth of China over our wealth with energy independence. Now remember that Joe took his crackhead son on Airforce2 to China to make some very lucrative "deals". It is far too easy to just claim "well he hasn't been proven guilty in a court of law". "So I will just dismiss the idea that the Biden family has been caught red handed." That is simply childish and intellectually dishonest.

So far Comer has no evidence, but you assume Biden is a criminal who has been influenced by China for money? What in Biden's history makes you think he would jeopardize his life's work in public service?

 

[Rumpole]

Why is proof of a crime required? They are just updating us on their investigation.

Which hasn't produced any evidence of a crime by Joe Biden

 

[sartre play]

So what was the purpose of the press conference?

Maybe to force me to support BIDEN,
JUST BECAUSE the unending SICK nonstop political propaganda no longer requires Any HONESTY.
Its full tilt party over country, And we will all pay the price for living in a land filled with LIES

So, if you have a dead body but you lack evidence of guilt, you just drop it? Nope. Criminal cases are built on various types of evidence and drawing inferences therefrom. The evidence in the hands of Congress is potentially probative of criminal activity. The suspiciousness of financial activity in Biden bank records justifies further investigation. At this point, the Biden corruption case is the equivalent of a murder case where a suspect has blood stains in the trunk of the car that matches his wife's blood. Either he will confess or he will give an explanation such as "Oh, uh, yeah, she bumped her head while getting groceries out of the trunk.

Well, Comer will continue looking for criminal behavior.

 

[Rumpole]

They showed a bunch of super shady money transfers and suggested that it looked like criminal activity. Their suggestion seems pretty spot on. I have yet to hear a plausible alternative explanation for these transfers and why they were funneling it through so many LLC's..

Maybe they showed transfers, but your characterization of 'shady' is spin. "Looks like' is not a crime.

The plausible explanation is one that Hunter admitted to, that he did, in fact, trade off his family name.

BFD, so do a lot of siblings of the famous. That fact is not a crime.

Hunter is a private citizen.

Just stick to the facts, and quit projecting your OPINION into them.

Otherwise, serious people cannot take you seriously. Fools might, but not serious folks.

But, did you care about Jared who scored $2 billion big ones from the murderous Mohammed Bin Salman for which he scored a management fee of 1.25% which is $125,000,000 that's one hundred and twenty five million dollars. You don't give a rats ass about that so why would you care about Hunter WHO IS A PRIVATE CITIZEN?

 

[Rumpole]

So you are saying that when Crooked Hillary and Slick Willy got filthy ass mega rich selling government influence to foreigners and then laundering the money through that sham foundation it wasn't treason? Like when the Russians gave the foundation millions of dollars for that Uranium deal?

Since that conspiracy theory has been debunked up one side and down the other, the rest of your comment is trash, as well.

Damn you are in denial! Typical for a stupid Moon Bat.

Wake the **** up.

 

[Billiejeens]

What a load of crap and anti-american disrespect for our law system and public servants you idiots have, with no evidence whatsoever, just pure garbage from scumbags...

STFU you brain dead non-functional moron.

That's just it. Until you have corroboration of criminal activity, you guys don't mind trafficking in innuendo.

There is no evidence of any illegal activity by Joe Biden.

But there is tons of evidence of illegal activity by Donald Trump.

And you can't handle that fact.

Hunter Biden wasn't hired to work in the White House.

That said I think Ivanka Trump has more integrity than her father or brothers. She did try repeatedly to get her father to stop the Jan 6 th attack on the Capitol.

 

[Rumpole]

STFU you brain dead non-functional moron.

Put up or shut up. Talk is cheap, and so far all I've seen are cheap shots against Joe Biden.

Not one stitch of evidence, nada, zilch, zero.

If you have a dead body, you have evidence a crime has been committed. There is nothing suspicious about the Biden bank records. Not one thing.

All of the amounts track and tally with the amounts reported by the banks. Everything is accounted for and nothing is hidden.

The GOP doesn’t have any evidence that any crime has been committed.

No. The reality is that they showed nothing of the kind. That's a lie. Trust your instincts. Look at character and track record. Biden isn't Trump. Public service is his life's work. His path to the presidency was not a post Celebrity Apprentice whim.

GOP shows no evidence of crimes at presser on alleged ‘Biden family corruption’

House Republicans have alleged Joe Biden financially gained from his time in public service but failed to provide documentation

Bill and Hillary did not get “filthy ass mega rich”. The last time I checked, they were worth $5 million which isn’t much for two Ivy League lawyers working at the top of their profession for 40 years.

Using the Uranium One as your example of their corruption shows with a gullible fool you are. Uranium one has been completely debunked and found to be a Republican lie.

Try coming up with some real examples instead of the usual Republican bullshit
