Special Counsel Appointment

@kellyjay said
Bribery, extortion, acting as a foreign agent without registering, drugs, weapons, and that is just the stuff we know about. I have no idea what you are talking about concerning 2 billion going to Jared Kushner, and what does that have to do with Biden? Do you think if you find something smelly with someone else, that makes all of the crimes we know about void?

Just making a point that as far as "corruption" or that foreign agent business is concerned, right-wingers don't really think Biden committed any serious crime based on how they overlook the same for Trump and Kushner.

Note how you have "no idea" about Kushner's $2 billion dollar deal with the Saudis, obviously made using his connection to Trump. That speaks volumes.

It's the lack of consistency (A.K.A hypocrisy) from right wingers that's the issue.

Consider the possibility that a 5 year investigation still hasn't turned up any substantial, competent evidence of any criminal wrongdoing by Hunter Biden (besides the relatively minor charges in the indictment).

At the sentencing hearing for those crimes, the judge asked whether the plea agreement granted Hunter Biden general immunity from any charges and immediately ...[text shortened]... e prosecution answered "no". This is a matter of public record that right wing media keeps ignoring.

can you point out what was “corrupt” about kushners deal?

@kellyjay said
This is not a right wing left wing issue, and you should know attempting to turn it into one should highlight to how corrupt people’s thinking has become. We cannot turn everything into left or right, we do that we lose righteousness in our laws for political gain and reasons.

While Trump was president Kushner helped secure an arms deal with Saudi Arabia, even over the objection of other Republicans. Then six months after Trump's term ends the Saudis throw $2 billion to Kushner's firm. Kushner obviously used Trump's position as president to secure the deal.

the only thing here is, the prosecution saying no was a lie.

Now the same prosecutor has been appointed special council. See the problem yet?

did you miss this part?

“Then six months after Trump's term ends the Saudis throw $2 billion to Kushner's firm.”

LOL Trump was no longer president, how was he going to help anyone?

DAMN

You're absolutely right. Except you never post criticism of Trump or Republicans. That's pretty interesting given the multiple indictments, insurrection, etc.

So the issue is this: are you really concerned about Biden and Hunter? Or would you, Kelly Jay, stay silent if this were Trump? It's not a left-right issue; but you make it one when you only attack one side. Un ...[text shortened]... ith equal fervor as you are with Biden, you have by your selective outrage make it a partisan issue.

@no1marauder said
Acting as a foreign agent requires more than merely doing business with foreign nationals; it requires paid lobbying for a foreign government. I know of no evidence supporting that in Hunter Biden's case.

I'm not aware of any claim of "extortion". Who has right wing media told you Hunter Biden extorted?

And there's no credible evidence of bribery either.

What is the hoopla about a country entrusting $2B to a company to invest for them? I entrust some money to a company in NYC to invest for me.
Are y'all saying that the money was given to Jared Kushner to his own use, like the chinee and ruskies and Ukraine gave millions to the Biden family ......for their own use?
One was an investement, and the other, ,,,,well, we dont know what it was given for, but we have definitley discovered it was not for an investment;
If you are upset that Jared is going to make money, as a brokerage fee, well, then get mad a Charles Schwab for making a brokerage fee.
Please someone explain the diff? I think I just did. Jared money was not a grift, it was business.

Getting paid is the issue that is one of the things being investigated.
