Hunter Biden: Drugs, hookers, and lots and lots of Russian money

[Ronson]

There is never much mention of this little item either. And this is from The Solid Left; the Heinz family - John Kerry's son.

Hunter Biden is a bad egg, using his father to enrich himself. Heinz told the State Department that he had nothing to do with Burisma and he was cutting off Hunter.

At the time, Hunter Biden, now 49, and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of then-Secretary of State John Kerry, co-owned Rosemont Seneca Partners, a $2.4 billion private equity firm. Heinz’s college roommate, Devon Archer, was managing partner in the firm. In the spring of 2014, Biden and Archer joined the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company that was at the center of a U.K. money laundering probe. Over the next year, Burisma reportedly paid Biden and Archer’s companies over $3 million...

Not necessarily, though I certainly have no problem believing Hunter is as corrupt as the day is long based on all his shady activities, and the fact he's just part of that class of crony elitism. But I'm more focused on the sheer hypocrisy of it. If this was a senate investigation of Eric or Trump Jr. the left would be all over it, and you and everyone else knows it.

Would you be condemning them as you do Hunter?

I've condemned Trump for being corrupt elitist, so yeah. The problem is it would look like crying wolf to me. That we've been subjected to fruitless Trump scandals since 2017, I'd be suspicious for that reason.

<self righteous and false accusation removed> If the names in this story were Donald Trump and one of the Trump kids, you would be spitting <ad hominem removed> rage at the Trump family and anybody who tried to justify and excuse it the way you did above.

<ad hominem removed>

Not accurate. My record here shows that I have not engaged at all in any of the gossip surrounding the Trump family members, only issues that directly expose corruption in the Trump presidency or campaign.

This story only affects Joe Biden in terms of it being an embarrassment unless somehow Joe Biden was involved. I would only be interested in it if it exposed corruption in the Biden campaign or Biden himself. Likewise, the issues I've dealt with wrt Trump are TRUMP, not some relative of his. As far as I know, I have not criticized Trump over anything his children have done that was not directly related to his campaign or his presidency.

Your accusations are simply false.

<self righteous and false accusation removed>

Oh, don't give me that, ox. Your hatred for Trump knows few bounds, but you've fooled yourself into somehow thinking you're above the fray all the while rolling around in the mud while the rest of us look on shaking our heads.

This story is more than merely "an embarrassment" for Biden. He was in the thick of it, using his power and position as Vice President of the United States to help enrich his son and protect him from legal consequences, and Biden can't claim ignorance of Hunter's actions because the Obama administration was fully briefed on it.

DNI declassifies Brennan notes, CIA memo on Hillary Clinton 'stirring up' scandal between Trump, Russia

A source said Brennan's handwritten notes were taken after briefing Obama on the matter

EXCLUSIVE: Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday declassified documents that revealed former CIA Director John Brennan briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton’s purported “plan” to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server” ahead of the 2016 presidential election, Fox News has learned.

Ratcliffe declassified Brennan’s handwritten notes – which were taken after he briefed Obama on the intelligence the CIA received – and a CIA memo, which revealed that officials referred the matter to the FBI for potential investigative action.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence transmitted the declassified documents to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on Tuesday afternoon.

"Today, at the direction of President Trump, I declassified additional documents relevant to ongoing Congressional oversight and investigative activities," Ratcliffe said in a statement to Fox News Tuesday.

Holy cow!

“We’re getting additional insight into Russian activities from [REDACTED],” Brennan notes read. “CITE [summarizing] alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service,” Brennan’s notes read.

The whole Russian thing concocted by Hillary with Obama's blessing - per John Brennan - in his own words!

Can anyone spell DEEP STATE?

How come no one is going to jail?

The word "alleged" doesn't help build a case. I need to read more of the notes.

This story is nothing but right-wing drones projecting their dear leader's faults onto other people.

I'm suspicious of senators making unsubstantiated accusations against a family member of the opposition candidate in the months before a presidential election.

But maybe that's just me.

Two tiered justice system.

Your perception is incorrect MM. You are nothing more and nothing less than offended and angered to the point of pure and uncontrollable rage that I would dare to point out the gross immorality of the man you regard as a political savior.

If it actually exists outside of your fevered imagination, it'd represent the failure of the current white house occupant.

It wouldn't matter whatsoever how bias the report looked to the left if it was Eric or Trump Jr. Maddow would call it THE smoking gun for Russia collusion.
