You mean this Steve Bannon?

Beats me completely why his accusations would not be taken seriously.

Does this change anything?

"Tony Bobulinski, who claims to be a former business associate of former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, will sit for an interview with the FBI regarding his knowledge about the Biden family's business dealings."

It's Russian disinformation, and you can't prove he met with the FBI, and even if it's true nothing illegal was done, and if anything illegal was done, Hunter isn't running for President.

No, I'm pretty sure there's still nobody named Hunter on the ballot.

You're the one blazing the path to madness. Glad you're ok with an imitator.

The beauty of announcing he's meeting with the FBI is that the FBI can't confirm or deny it.

Isn't it funny that people in the right wing news bubbles can only get close to the truth when they're trying to be sarcastic?

Yes, the laptop looks like it's Russian disinformation, as more than 50 experienced intelligence pros have attested to. Know nothing brietbart experts may disagree, but that means less than nothing.

Yes, he hasn't met with the FBI yet. That's why it's spoken in the future tense.

Yes, there has been no evidence of anything illegal that has been presented, and the lack of any action by the DOJ even with Trump's pushing speaks to how little illegality has been found.

And yes, Hunter isn't running for President.

QFT. 16.5 strikes again.

Exactly. Barr is a spineless weasel and even he hasn't given Trump the legal action he desires against the Bidens. Either he hasn't been able to find a weasel in his service willing to take point on this baseless nonsense or there is an ethical line won't cross where he'll excuse any crime committed by a prominent Trumper but won't manufacture investigations against Trump's political enemies.

I don't think it's an ethical line, exactly. There's some kind of fear there. Or maybe it's been worked out that having Sen. Ron Johnson on it is enough and Barr doesn't have to take a dive on it. Trump is probably still furious with Barr, though.

Why is it that while the FBI and many other legitimate law enforcement agencies keep details of their investigations quiet for as long as possible, congressional committees seem to make as much noise as possible?

I guess to the FBI the work product is indictments and convictions, while with politicians, the work product is the noise.

I think there's some truth to the latter. For all his many faults, Barr hasn't yet started a frivolous prosecution, and it doesn't look like he's inclined to start.

"I have no opinion on that".

I don't have a problem with posting allegations. I do have a problem with dumping random stuff into a thread without explanation.

obligation
noun:
an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment.

How do you know that?

How do you know the poster is pretending?

"The Sun isn't going supernova, maybe some time later, may not be". "Stop pretending you know it won't".

Sorry if you think it's random or that I have to explain it to you.


The context was the FBI telling Rudy to zip it. You highlighted the wrong section, see legally. And if the emails are real, I would say he's actually morally obligated to release them.


Because the FBI hasn't commented.

He may not be, but if he thinks there is a 10 month time limit, he's wrong.

The sun will never go supernova.

There are no charges as of today unless they are under seal, that does not preclude the possibility of future charges. Anyone saying otherwise with certainty is either pretending to know, or wrong, or lying.

Good ol' Tony BabaGanoush ...

You guys ever know someone who, no matter how many times you explained it to them, would still go, "... but maaaybe he actually is a Nigerian prince!"

Yes that Steve Bannon.

Here's Rudy standing with DingGang Wang who serves as a propaganda arm for Guo Wengui, who owns the yacht Bannon was arrested on, who's under FBI investigation, who's a fugitive from China. Bannon can be seen behind Rudy. Yan LiMeng in the mirror.

Does anyone else think the picture of Hunter smoking crack looks like it's taken from outside of the window? Or is it a picture of a screen? It's certainly not a selfie.

This "scandal" is like a sped up version of the Trump administration. Every time you think you've seen it all, that it can't possibly get any dumber or more farcical, something happens to plumb new depths of idiocy.

Turns out Rudy Giuliani's laptop story is too fishy even for Rudy Giuliani.

Great description!

never mind :)

Posted this in one of the over lapping threads, probably best for this thread:

This follows from his tweet when he said “ equally significant evidence of endangerment of children.”, in other words he says he sat on evidence of child endangerment. This is one of the few times “think of the children” does come into play, think about he sat on this evidence until it was politically advantageous for him to reveal it. He knew that at least one child was in possible danger and he did absolutely nothing about it. Hopefully he can be charged with something like a failure to report such evidence.

1. That would be if you believe Rudy.
2. It had already been turned over to the FBI

1) If one wishes to accept the laptop exists than one surely would believe what Rudi says about the content.
2) Nope.

Or he thinks he will wait and see who gets elected. He doesn't want to go down with the ship.

There's been pressure on him since he took the job, and he'll be gone if there's a new president whatever he does or did.

Trump is already threatening to fire Barr even if he wins because of this.

Sorry Darat, these advanced concepts are going to require a detailed, step-by-step breakdown lest we fail to grasp. Are you actually going so far to say that when a person says this, and also says that...

Never mind. I need to contemplate this conundrum further.

No, Bobulinski being invited to make a statement under caution or face arrest and charge changes nothing, really.

Crazy Chinese dude (Wang DingGang) has started releasing Hunter Biden pictures and video.

Not posting the link, completely unnecessary. This is the guy tied in with Bannon and Giuliani.

The video of some woman pleasuring Hunter Biden with her feet while he hits the crack pipe, talks about how good the camera angle is and also videos with his smart phone is obviously a deep fake. ******* Putin!

So much for the argument that all of this was unbelievable nonsense made up by Giuliani.

Trump always puts 'his' people in these positions: Trump expects them to go too far, tell one lie too blatant, and when they don't show proper loyalty he gets rid of them and complains about how disgusting the person was.

Is that video supposed to have been on the laptop? Or was this from the stuff someone was selling in the Ukraine last year for $5 mil that Giuliani passed on?


Wait, it doesn't really matter, does it? We now have evidence that an admitted drug user used drugs while being related to someone on the ballot. That tears it, I'm not going to vote for Hunter Biden.

Sex tapes are so 90s

They are, that's why I didn't post the link. He's supposedly dropping a new one every hour.

I'm trying to figure out if Giuliani gave crazy Chinese dude a copy of the laptop through Bannon, to use for Lude Media. Which is an anti Chinese group hooked up with Bannon. That's the most likely scenario at this point. Crazy Chinese guy claims to have 3 drives of compromising material which was put together by the CCP lol. Completely not believable. Haven't even heard a claim on how he obtained the supposed 3. Wang DingGang mentioned the drives on his show back in September.

These are the denials and dismissals from the first two pages after Giuliani broke the story. I'd post the rest of them but the per-post character limit would require there to be several more posts and I don't want to get nicked for spamming. Besides, they would be ignored as well.

Rather than reposting all the people mocking the fake laptop story, why don't you give us some reason to take it seriously? Was the video even claimed to be from the laptop?

Right now, you are crowing because a video has been released of Hunter doing drugs, or having consensual sex with an adult, I'm not sure which bit you think is problematic. Given that we are aware Hunter did drugs, and most adults have had consensual and legal sex at some point, what is the scandal? More importantly, what makes this a reason to vote for Trump?

Good news is he could probably be elected mayor of DC if he tried.

Why would I do that, I didn't dismiss the story based on politically driven incredulity?

Dog, I hope not! How hilarious would it be if there were multiple sources dumping dirt on the Bidens Bribens?

We know you are still clinging to this preposterous story based on politically driven gullibility. I was just trying to get you to provide a reason you think others should have swallowed this hook line and sinker like you did.

I guess you are behind the times. We've already discussed in this thread how even Giuliani thought this info was too sketchy when someone was selling it to him last year in the Ukraine.

And somehow, you seem reluctant to explain what "dirt" this is supposed to be, or why we should care. Hmm
