Bondi is supposed to be the Hunter Baurisma expert. She got a softball question about what Hunter did to make money from Baurisma and she FROZE. She should know this up down and sideways. She leafed through her notebook and flipped her hair. My wife said, Come on Honey, get it together.

(22,128 posts)Just got back in and turned this on again. Dirt-showitz holding forth about how he's right, and Lawrence Tribe is wrong. Probably smarting from Tribe on Lawrence's show last night saying Dirt didn't know what he was talking about.
Schiff answering him now, bringing up what Dirt said 21 years ago. Oops! Playing clip of Turley.

(129,376 posts)No evidence that there was an interest in this in 2018 or 2017. It didn't happen until after Biden announced.
Biden was carrying out official U.S. policy supported internationally.

(4,986 posts)2. No witness supports allegation that Biden acted improperly
3. Amb Volker Confirms: It is simply not credible that Joe Biden would be influenced in his duties as vice pResident.
4. Investigation into Burisma Not Official Policy: DOJ confirms no official (cutoff by chyron/ will find it.)
