Bank records are evidence.

Biden's own admission on live TV is evidence.

Phone records are evidence.

Biden's supporters know he's corrupt. Don't take their playing dumb seriously. They're just toeing the line. They know he's been selling favors, they're just okay with it because he's a Democrat.

We all heard him

I can see the special counsel report already...


After a thorough investigation, it has been found that although Hunter Biden was extremely careless in his financial affairs, no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges.


Seems like I heard crap like that before somewhere........

What was Hunter's "intent"?

lol

So honest question:

Why do you think the AG would violate the law by not appointing an outside prosecutor?

You can split hairs all day about whether the Special Counsel code is law (it is) or about if there's precedent for not following it, but at the end of the day, what would be the reason for the AG to flaunt the law?

The obvious answer is to protect Joe. But I'm sure you don't think that, so why do you think he wouldn't just follow the law and appoint an outside prosecutor?

I didn't vote for him the first time.

Isn't everyone innocent until proven guilty?

I'm all on board with this special counsel being appointed. He asked when the time was right and the AG gave him the spot as he said he would, if asked.

I'm also on board with any tangent this investigation takes, anything it uncovers and that any and all involved are held to the highest standards of the law... be it the president, or the president's family or their friends or advisers, or whoever it points to.

No one is above the law in the US, and if the special counsel uncovers crime and can prove it, I for one am looking forward to speaking out against and rooting out corruption wherever it is in our government.

We are all equal, and the law applies to us all equally.

Probably because Weiss has been the prosecutor on this case for the past three years and it's about to go to trial. Bringing in a new prosecutor now would cause delays as the new prosecutor would need time to get caught up on the ins-and-outs of the case.

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. It does look like some of the crimes are about to go to trial since the judge put a stop to Weiss's protection deal to Hunter. But the ongoing investigation is what the special counsel status is for, not for the case that's about to be brought. An outside special counsel being brought in to look at the additional crimes wouldn't stop the existing prosecutor, Weiss, from prosecuting the case that's already been filed.

I also don't think the law should be ignored for the convenience of the existing prosecutor on a case. Do you?

And speaking of Trump, shouldn't another indictment hit him? This usually happens after Hunter and Joey are in the news.

I'm all on board with this special counsel being appointed. He asked when the time was right and the AG gave him the spot as he said he would, if asked.

I'm also on board with any tangent this investigation takes, anything it uncovers and that any and all involved are held to the highest standards of the law... be it the president, or the president's family or their friends or advisers, or whoever it points to.

No one is above the law in the US, and if the special counsel uncovers crime and can prove it, I for one am looking forward to speaking out against and rooting out corruption wherever it is in our government.

We are all equal, and the law applies to us all equally.

You forgot the /s at the end.

I get you're confused because you're so used to being biased.

Technically it's not a law. It's a regulation.

CFR isn't like an environmental regulation or something like that that is open to interpretation and can be ignored. CFR is legally binding.

These rules are considered legally binding just as any statute.

Also, it's not without precedent. In 2003, Comey appointed Patrick Fitzgerald as special counsel despite him being an active US attorney.

That's not true. Fitzgerald's duties as a federal attorney ended in 2012.

Edit: So I misread the dates. I thought I read 2002. Yes, Fitzgerald was still an active federal attorney in 2003 when he was named special counsel.

However, the documentation naming him special counsel specifically stated that Comey wasn't naming him Special Counsel under the applicable statute. So he was special counsel in name only, as a way of getting around the law, which is crooked as #. Maybe Garland is taking this from that playbook.

Also, do you really feel that if a law has been broken before it makes it okay to break it again?

Could this be part of a delaying tactic? wouldn't a blatantly broken law render the whole process null and void, after it concludes?

Well, let's test that theory.

Can you say the same thing I did? And mean it?

Can you say no one is above the law in America, the law applies to us all equally and we should let the law play out and let the special counsel discover whatever and wherever it leads to? And dole out appropriate and legal punishment?

You see, I don't care about Hunter Biden, I don't care about his dad either. I don't care what happens to them, especially if wrongdoing is uncovered.

You do care about Trump. To an unhealthy degree. So you play favorites, where you really shouldn't. They're politicians ffs, they're not cult leaders. Are they?

The Biden’s are literally everything they told you the Trumps were.

But much worse.

a reply to: Mahogany

Ummm, so you believe the government charges against Trump?

Do you believe the government is telling us the facts?

You say you won't defend Joey, but umm, well, I have to lol at that.

Seems you've had too much of the koolade, not me.

I voted for Trump because I hate the evil left, but I also dislike republicans.
