Why? If Barr couldn't prosecute anything and didn't think it was worth pursuing, what has changed? The FBI and DOJ have known the facts since at least 2019.


What has changed? The president.

Biden's DOJ cannot be relied on to investigate and prosecute a case involving the president's son. And, then there is the possibility that the president himself may be implicated.



Uh, the previous president had FULL REIGN to prosecute on the facts and had every political reason to do so in the 2020 election cycle...and didn't. The facts haven't changed. If Trump/Barr didn't prosecute, why would a change in president do anything?

Trump appointed Weiss to investigate and prosecute. Biden has not touched him, Garland has not touched him. He has the ability to investigate and prosecute as needed. Or are you saying that Trump appointed someone who should not have been appointed?

Wonder why Bar and Trump did not act?

Because there was no proof of any crimes.

I wonder why Comer, Jordan and McCarthy keep hammering on this?

Because they apparently have nothing better to do while running the House of Representatives, other than keeping the ill-informed base angry because laptops and Burisma or something.

Comer’s description of SAR is completely wrong, which doesn’t give me confidence about anything else he’s saying. This dude was a bank director?

Yeah, he had it completely wrong in the first 15 seconds. I thought I'd have to scroll further to get to the lie or mischaracterization so it was nice of him to be so respectful of our time this time.

And Trump and his AG Barr couldn't be relied on because....?

Look, the bottom line is that Barr didn't prosecute, not for lack of trying, but because they didn't find anything meaningful worth prosecuting. But now you want to gin up this witch hunt and accuse the current administration of being corrupt just because nothing has changed since Barr.

CEFC chairman Ye Jianming, director Zang and Patrick Ho paid Hunter and Jim Biden millions. Exact same guys, same company, same modus operandi in the FARA charges slapped on Israeli fugitive Gal Luft, only he was paid a lot less. Luft's lobbying was of a retired CIA director on his think tank advisory board, not the then current vice president who ferried Hunter to Beijing with him on Air Force Two for an official visit with President Xi.

Double standard?

Why are you assuming that because Weiss was appointed by Trump he is innocent? Weiss should be investigated regardless of his party affiliation.

JFC, do a tiny bit of research. This is from the New Yorker in 2019.

Hunter was on the board of the World Food Program USA, a nonprofit that generates support for the U.N. World Food Programme, and he had hoped that Ye would make a large aid donation. At dinner that night [in 2017], they discussed the donation, and then the conversation turned to business opportunities. Hunter offered to use his contacts to help identify investment opportunities for Ye’s company, CEFC China Energy, in liquefied-natural-gas projects in the United States.

… Hunter began negotiating a deal for CEFC to invest forty million dollars in a liquefied-natural-gas project on Monkey Island, in Louisiana, which, he said, was projected to create thousands of jobs. “I was more proud of it than you can imagine,” he told me.

… In February, 2018, Ye was detained by Chinese authorities, reportedly as part of an anti-corruption investigation, and the deal with Hunter fell through. Hunter said that he did not consider Ye to be a “shady character at all,” and characterized the outcome as “bad luck.”


So, this was a legitimate business partnership, not a bribe, not lobbying, not representing the Chinese government, so nothing at all like the Israeli arms dealer, and it happened in 2017 and 2018 when Joe Biden was not in office and not a candidate for President. Where’s the crime, dipshits?

The implication from the debate was the Chinese Government...which Trump did take money from while Hunter did work for a company in China, which last time I checked, wasn't illegal.

Sure. And, yet, Hunter admits that he received money and that CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming was his business partner.
And, then there is that infamous WhatsApp message......
