Where is a crime? Foreign companies can invest in U.S. companies. They can form or join partnerships in the U.S. that invest in U.S. companies. That’s legal and normal and has nothing to do with the Vice President. |

The conservative 5th Circuit just ruled that the gun law Hunter was charged under is unconstitutional. They say it’s unconstitutional to take away 2nd Amendment rights because of drug use.

Do you really believe that these companies were paying millions to Hunter just to talk to Joe about the weather? |
I’m the stupid libt*rd that doesn’t understand what is being alleged. I don’t know what CEFC is. I don’t know what a L&G company is. Can someone explain this to me like I’m 5. TIA. |
Are you really that ignorant? CEFC was mentioned in this thread dozens of times, in addition, that it is all over the news (unless you read only CNN and msnbc). |
Look at Joe, what else you can talk to him about? He is probably not even aware of the weather anymore. |
Yes. I literally typed that I’m stupid. I then typed “explain it to me like I’m 5”. Don’t post a bunch of twitter threads- I’ll not bother with them. I’m willing to listen, I’m just incredibly lazy and this scandal is hard to follow and boring. TIA |
+100. Continuously posting tweets from people who are unknown to most of us and expecting us to read them and follow the daily twists and turns in the trail of "evidence" against the Bidens just isn't working. It's confusing and boring. I'll pay attention when charges are brought by the proper authorities. |

I’m willing to listen before indictments!
Seriously. Just boil it down for me. I’m begging here. |

The people who have testified- the irs and archer- have said they have no proof of Joe’s involvement.
I get that hunter is sleazy and using his dad’s name but he doesn’t work in the White House and never would. But there was any any money trail Or testimony that implicates the president or then vice president of anything illegal. |
They were business transactions from clients and partners to his business partnerships, and many of the transactions were money to be invested for them, not payments to him. You guys are stupidly counting every transaction to any business, partnership, or firm affiliated with HB as a bribe. He was a corporate lawyer and investment broker. He was in business partnerships with these people. Your guys are feeding you intentionally misleading talking points about legal business transactions. |
Dumb liberal here: No I don’t. But I need to know what is being alleged. Specifically what did these companies get out of it. Like a quick sum up. Companies gave HB 20,000,000 and they got X in return. What is X? |
So what you are saying is that if rich people give a government official lots of money and gifts, they expect something valuable in return? |

The House Oversight Committee is moving the goalposts again:
House Oversight GOP claims they don’t need to find direct payments to Joe Biden to prove corruption in Hunter Biden business dealings memo First few paragraphs of article: House Oversight Republicans laid out their intention to accuse President Joe Biden of corruption even without direct evidence that he financially benefited from Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings, a clear shift in their strategy that they said was launched to investigate the president. The new strategy is highlighted in a memo released by the committee on Wednesday. “President Biden’s defenders purport a weak defense by asserting the Committee must show payments directly to the President to show corruption,” the House Oversight Republicans wrote. “This is a hollow claim no other American would be afforded if their family members accepted foreign payments or bribes. Indeed, the law recognizes payments to family members to corruptly influence others can constitute a bribe,” the memo says. The panel points to a resource guide of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act that states “companies also may violate the FCPA if they give payments or gifts to third parties, such as an official’s family members, as an indirect way of corruptly influencing a foreign official.” https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/09/politics/house-oversight-republicans-hunter-biden/?lctg=136252390 |
