Hunter Biden

Putin
Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans.
Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent.
The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation:
Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan.
To name a few.
An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021.
Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up.
The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.

(3,417 posts)Ken Vogel has always rubbed me the wrong way. There is a lot wrong with the NYT right now and he is part of everything that is wrong, imo

(43,544 posts)We didn't know all the names until now, but we did know the basics of this scheme.
To put it bluntly, this is just one of the underhanded things that Chump did in the last year of his first term. There were so many, topped by the Jan. 6th attempted coup which should have landed him in prison.
I understand that this one has a personal sting for the Bidens, and it's Hunter's right to lay it all out including the names of participants. But in the long run, in spite of all of Chump's evil activities, Joe Biden did win the Presidency in 2020. Chump lost, as we all know.
To this day I can't understand why Joe Biden didn't have Chump charged with major crimes and thrown in prison where he belongs. Rudy Giuliani also, and I'm not sure who else. The Bidens and the DoJ had the proof to convict them, as Hunter demonstrates.

... sounding like a broken record, THERE IS NO BOTTOM TO THE RANCID REPUBLICAN CESSPOOL OF MALICE AND DEPRAVITY.
They care nothing about the welfare of the nation or its inhabitants; they care only about having total dominion over the lives of others, and there is literally no limit to the crimes they'll commit to get it and keep it.
Murdering citizens in the streets: CHECK.
Robbing people blind to line their own pockets: CHECK.
Brazenly tampering with elections to ensure their dominance: CHECK.
Gutting or eliminating any and all government agencies that help people: CHECK.
Exploiting a grotesquely corrupt Supreme Court to immunize themselves against accountability: CHECK.
Destroying relations with allies, and threatening to take their countries by force for totally fabricated reasons of "National Security": CHECK.
The list is endless, and getting longer as we speak. And they will not stop unless we stop them by turning out to vote in overwhelming numbers.
These people are pure, malignant evil incarnate, and that's putting it mildly.
Watch your six. The insane quotas Trump's SS are expected to fill are not limited to people who look like they might be of Hispanic descent; they'll be coming for you sooner than you might think.
Rant over.
