Both Trump AND his family take the money. What is your point?

Jared's family was saved by Middle Eastern money while he "served" in the WH. Jared was given $1B to invest following his "service" despite the Middle Eastern investment professionals advising against it. And, with that $1B, Jared gets management fees at, say, 1% of $1B, or $10M a year.

The number may be $3.1B. What does it say about Jared's investment acumen when almost no US investors would invest in Jared's investment fund.

That’s not remotely what the WaPo article says. Here’s a link so everyone can see that you’re lying.

Indeed. The evidence is overwhelming.
And we’re probably seeing only a small fraction.
Thirty years in power is a freggin long time.

Did you know that the Orange Man regularly received money from foreign govts, including unfriendly ones, while President. Trump Hotel in DC was owned 100% by the Orange Man. All profits from Trump Hotel went directly into the Orange Man's bank account. Literally. And foreign govts spent huge amounts of money at Trump Hotel. If the drinks were marked up by 50%, $10 of that $20 drink went to the Orange Man.

Not just the Trump hotel, but his various clubs as well. Trump was raking in the Benjamins while president. So were Ivanka and Jared, while serving as "white house employees" - what Hunter did was on part with Beavis and Butthead, and you don't see anyone complaining about Eric and Junior, here.

Weiss will continue to do nothing.

So, now, the tribe jumps all over their own appointed US Attorney.

Maybe, just maybe this guy knows a little more about the situation than you do.

Garland did exactly what the right has been clamoring for. So sit down.

Yea, I'm confused why the Rs are upset about Weiss being appointed **WHEN THEY SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR HIM TO BE APPOINTED**. I try not to get into the Rs heads too much these days, but this one is a real head scratcher.

Can a R explain why now Weiss is unfit when he was appointed by Trump and Rs wanted him?

1. They didn't.
2. A special prosecutor should have been appointed YEARS ago because of the conflict of interest. We have Biden's DOJ investigating a member of Biden's family in which Biden himself could be implicated. If this doesn't scream conflict of interest, I don't know what does.
3. It should have been someone from OUTSIDE the government BECAUSE of the conflict of interest.
4. Weiss has demonstrated through his actions... letting the statute of limitations lapse, agreeing to a sweetheart deal, not allowing investigators do a complete investigation.... that he should not continue in this role.

They did ask for Weiss to be the special counsel.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/19/hunter-biden-probe-senate-republicans-seek-special-counsel-authority.html

More than 30 Senate Republicans asked Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday to give the federal prosecutor [Weiss] who has been investigating Hunter Biden for several years “special counsel protections and authorities.”

The group, which includes Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, wrote in a letter to Garland that the move is warranted because the criminal investigation involves President Joe Biden’s son. They also contended it would “avoid the appearance of impropriety.”

Giving U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss special counsel authority would also “provide additional assurances to the American people that the Hunter Biden investigation is free from political influence,” the letter argued.

Weiss was the special investigator, and Rs wanted him to be given "special counsel authority".


Once again, R revisionist history.

THAT WAS A FRICKING YEAR AGO!
And, long before Weiss proved that he was not up for the job.

So, revisionist history. They did ask for him to be a special counsel. Before last week, did they say "we want a special counsel but not Weiss"?

many many people just pay a fine when it's been discovered that they didn't pay their taxes.

Heck, there were some Rs who got outed for hiring domestic help and not paying taxes, and when the press released the story, they did a mea culpa and paid the taxes.

I am not a fan of HB. I actually think he's skeevy, but him not paying his taxes is not that big of a deal. If it was, there would be so many more rich people in jail.

This. And I can think of one particular "rich" person who's not very good at paying his taxes.

The article doesn't go into details of the sweetheart deal, but the agreement says he has immunity from prosecution for everything listed in the statement of facts.

So this move does three things:
1. Clears existing charges against the First Crackhead.
2. Slows the roll of any prosecution with a reset, which conveniently gives them time to drag further and let the statute of limitations clock run on some more charges.
3. Give Weiss and DOJ in general cover to keep repeating the, "I cannot answer because there is an ongoing investigation," mantra.

The charges were BS...they were only levied BECAUSE he is Hunter Biden. No average American gets charged with what Hunter did here.
If there are any crimes, they will be prosecuted.

Weiss will have to write a report just like Durham and Mueller did...if he ends up not charging anything else, it will be explained in that report.

Bullcrap.

DeSousa knowingly and intentionally lied and cheated on his taxes and actively obstructed. I've seen no evidence that Hunter Biden did any of those things.
