Why hasn't any republican started an investigation into Joe Biden?

I have not seen anyone deny Hunter being given an overly-cushy and eye-brow raising job at the corrupt Burisma. That said, Hunter is an adult and free to legally take any job offered. Even if, and I suspect they did, corrupt individuals in Ukraine sought to influence Joe Biden by giving his son a sweet, sweet job, an attempted bribe is not the same as an accepted bribe. If Joe Biden was suspected of corruption or bribery, why wasn’t he investigated at the time? None of the information about Hunter, Joe or Burisma was unknown when he was VP over three years ago. Is this proof Trump and the Party of Trump are incompetent fools who are so idiotic it took them over three years to suspect this?


BTW, it appears Pam is guilty of deceitfulness by omission: Fact check: 4 things Trump's attorney left out of her arguments about Biden and Burisma - CNNPolitics

Did you even watch the minute or so starting at 26:34? It doesn't appear so.

Sorry, but I doubt CNN is credible in their remarks. Can you back of what they say with verifiable facts?
 
~I'm going to disregard the rest of your post. I just don't have the time or willingness to put out a lot of effort...especially when you've shown a willingness to deflect to Trump at the drop of a hat. You may not like my decision...too bad. Get over it.~

Uhhh...Wolfe pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. I have no idea what this would have to do with the topic.

I see. Then you don't know what led up to that guilty plea. If you only get your news and information from Trump-hating sources, I'm not surprised. But the fact is, there is a lot more to that Wolfe story.

Here...this will help you.

Be forewarned...this is a lengthy article...lots of links to supporting material...court records, etc.

Can you? I’ve done the same as you: posted links. In the end the truth shall be revealed. It may not be until after the election, but it will be revealed. The fact remains the Republicans had a Federal Trifecta from Trump’s election until January 2019...and they didn't do a damn thing about Joe or Hunter Biden. Why? Because of aforementioned reasons.

So, you refuse to listen to Biden's own words...

Now you’ve been reduced to telling falsehoods. Shame on you.

The fact remains the Republicans knew about the situation for three years, two of which the Republicans had full control of the Federal government. So why has all of this come up now and not then? Because Trump wasn't being impeached then.
 
People seem to forget, or would like us to forget who was running things when Joe and Hunter Biden made off with the crown jewels. It was the Republicans. Both House and Senate.
And yet, nary a word or inquiry. They were too busy building cases against Clinton. Who cared about Ol' Joe? No one.
Then in 2019, all of a sudden, massive interest in this crime of the century. Wonder why?

The right wing should, put up or shut up with their continuance, diversion, straw men, and other forms of fallacies.

The Senate has the sole Power to try the facts and the witnesses to deliver a True verdict.
 
Did Trump work with the Russians to rig the 2016 election? No, but you all swore up-n-down that just HAD to be an investigation to find out. Remember that?

I can't wait to watch y'all go ape **** when all this comes back to bite the Democrats in the ass....lol

You're asking for the same thing you complain about. I guess we're all liberals at heart.

Did the Russians try to work with Trump? Yes.

It took an investigation to prove that Trump wasn't working with them.

I've read the article a couple of times (incidentally, this is not a long article. Very short, actually--it's just our intellectually bankrupt culture that would consider this article "long"). I see no reason to think it's even relevant. Wolfe was a congressional staffer. Your claim was that the DOJ would fear congressional reprisal, so I don't see the relevance, even if everything the article alleges is true.

Moreover, this article is full of innuendo and invalid reasoning. The article points out that, in one court filing, Wolfe sent "Reporter 2" (who the author of the article believes to be Ali Watkins) 82 text messages, and then concludes that those 82 text messages were probably the FISA warrant. Then it goes on to just treat that as a certainty, when such is not warranted. They could have been 82 dick-pics for all we know based on the evidence in the article. Similarly, the article speculates that the DOJ was putting leak tracers in its documents, presents no evidence that such is the case (aside from saying that it would explain why dates are redacted in the now publicly released version--problem is that all sorts of things could explain that condition obtaining). But then the article goes on to treat the existence of leak tracers in the document as a certainty.

It's poor reasoning. But again, even if the case were airtight, it would seem to prove just the opposite of what you're claiming.

Finally, why did you change the words in my quote-box? For the record, here's my entire post as I wrote it:

The Senate, being in control of Republicans, has all Republican-chaired committees. Lindsey Graham is the chair of the judiciary committee, for example, and Richard Burr chairs the intelligence committee. So there seems to be no such obstacle here.

So, are you saying that there's no compelling reason or evidence? Because the narrative on the right is that it's just [I}obvious[/I] that Biden/Burisma are corrupt and should be investigated. If that's true, then there should be a compelling reason. If there's no compelling reason, on the other hand, then no one should believe the aforementioned narrative.

Well, this may be true. However, you are generalizing where you should be a lot more specific. "Using power for political purposes" names a certain category of actions some of which are bad/evil/corrupt and some of which are not. It's not that Trump used his power for political purposes--he does that every time he holds a re-election rally, and Presidents should be able to do that. Asking a foreign government to interfere by opening a bogus investigation into a political rival is, however, wrong and should not be allowed, for two reasons: first, no foreign power should interfere in any way in our elections, and second, because it's based, by definition, on a lie.

Uhhh...Wolfe pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. I have no idea what this would have to do with the topic.

If you don't want to respond to most of it, that's fine. But put that in the body of your post, not in the quote box from someone else. You could simply have deleted the text aside from the necessary HTML markers.

Maybe they knew it would be a battle in the media, and the media favors the democrats.

So it's better they waited?

They traded an Obama lovin' media for a Trump hatin' media.

Not to mention the unlikelyhood that Republicans in charge of Congress, that had 9 investigations on Benghazi, would pass on a possible VP corruption investigation? That's Trumpworld thinking.

A more reasonable interpretation would be... I don't know, maybe, anything else.

They didn't bring it up until the democrats did.
 
Can anyone answer this question?

Any Congressman can initiate an investigation or ask the DOJ to investigate the Biden's or CrowdStrike. It was done by republicans against Clinton in 2014 over Benghazi which had already had an investigation in 2012.

Any member can begin an investigation, so if they want it so badly, why are we going through all of this? Oh wait, it's because Trump wanted the investigation to come from Ukraine in order to complete two wishes of Trump. Get Biden from rising in the polls and to put the blame on Ukraine for interfering in the 2016 election.

It's coming...

SIAP. The Trump DOJ is already doing this. Giuliani is already doing this.
 
Right! Hunter was ****ing his sister-in-law, snorting smack on skid row, then was recruited by a foreign company to come to work for them, for 80 g's a month. Yeah, nothing fishy about that; happens all the time...lol.

OK, so why aren't the Biden's being, actively, investigated and brought to justice?
 
I would like for people to listen to the whole half hour of this video, but if you are like me, you likely will not. Therefore, a few time indexes...

for very short attention spans or time, start at 26:34

If you have a little more time, start at 25:44. Better yet, start at 17:56.

The whole video is optimum, but at least listen for under a minute starting at 26:34.



Then... This is good too:

R. Hunter will be in charge of the Holding's legal unit and will support international organizations....​

Burisma Announces Hunter Biden's Appointment to the Board (May 12, 2014)

Hunter joined the board as a non-executive director, meaning he was an independent board member and not a member of the management team. At no time was Hunter in charge of the company’s legal affairs. Like all Burisma directors, Hunter was compensated for his board service.​

A Statement on behalf of Hunter Biden, dated October 13, 2019


Surely then Bill Barr can pully his nose out of tRumps ass long enough to start an investigation into the Biden's.
 
Wait how did the Democrats bring up Biden first? This should be good.

OK, when did the republicans bring him up? To my knowledge, when the Trump administration asked for the investigations to continue, the left jumped to the conclusion Biden was the target, because president Trump wanted the corruption to be investigated.

Can you show me otherwise?

Where do you find balance between executive privileged and fishing for facts you think exist, but cannot show probable cause of?

Trump asked for investigations on Biden to continue? I thought the complaint was that Biden got investigations shut down.

I think you meant, Trump asked for Biden investigations to begin... which is Trump bringing Biden up first.

But to be fair, the Russians made up this nonsense first, Trump just ran with it, and not to be left behind, his minions ran right along too.
