@soar2newhighs Are you sure? Or has the crucial evidence evaporated??
[quote]WASHINGTON (AP) — An FBI informant has been charged with fabricating a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company, a claim that is central to the Republican impeachment inquiry in Congress.
Alexander Smirnov falsely reported to the FBI in June 2020 that executives associated with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Hunter and Joe Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016, prosecutors said in an indictment. Smirnov told his handler that an executive claimed to have hired Hunter Biden to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” according to court documents.
. . .
The informant’s claims have been central to the Republican effort in Congress to investigate the president and his family, and helped spark what is now a House impeachment inquiry into Biden. An attorney for Hunter Biden, who is expected to give a deposition later this month, said the charges show the probe is “based on dishonest, uncredible allegations and witnesses.” [/quote]

@soar2newhighs Talk is cheap. Where's the evidence??
@ElwoodBlues It’s all fabricated, right? Joe is as innocent as an altar boy or Boy Scout, right?
Most corrupt politician to ever hold office. You can disagree , but it changes nothing about Biden. Again owned and beholden to Xi and probably others.

@ElwoodBlues If you haven’t heard the evidence, I feel for you. But again obvi you feel it’s made up.
In simple terms, Biden is a corrupt, money hungry politician.

@soar2newhighs Didn't you read what I posted? The crucial evidence has recently evaporated.

@soar2newhighs Do you have evidence? Seems that the primary accuser has been charged with lying to the FBI, and Republicans have nothing else. Do try to keep up.

@soar2newhighs FBI informant has been charged for fabricating lies against Biden. Tomorrow it may be different. 🤷♂️ Our whole federal government are nothing more than chronic liars. We debate on which lies are more convincing and that's it. 🤨 We are proving evidence of lies. 🤔 ✌️

@maskedbandit The evidence against Trump isn't evaporating. His seven slates of fake electors haven't gone away. The recordings of him bragging about his misappropriated classified documents still exist.
Trump brags about his secret documents on this 2021 recording. He had an aide (likely Margo Martin) using a laptop to record all his interviews, etc; this is one of those recordings. Campaign advisor Susie Wiles has been identified as one of the voices on the recording.

“As president, I could have declassified, but now I can't.”
“All sorts of stuff – pages long, look. Wait a minute, let’s see here. I just found, isn’t that amazing? This totally wins my case, you know. Except it is like, highly confidential. Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this.”

@Vin53 Guess you’re unaware of the Special Counsel’s report.

@soar2newhighs Sure we saw the report. Special Counsel Robert Hur had no charges to file.

Or maybe you're referring to Special Counsel David Weiss, originally appointed by Trump, who has also been investigating Biden. Weiss hasn't issued any final report, but he has charged Smirnov with lying to the FBI and falsifying records, as I reported above.
@Vin53 [b][i]The trouble with our conservative friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so 😂🤣😂🤣[/i][/b]

@ElwoodBlues I know Trump is a criminal, and whether or not Biden is or not, only time will tell. As of now Biden is innocent, that can't be argued.
The point I'm trying to make is not in Trumps or Bidens favor. I can careless of the 2. Left and right supporters are soo quick to jump on anything they think is against their party. The point I'm trying to make here, and it is my opinion, is that the whole federal government is playing a game of charades with us all. Trump should be in prison right now along with many others but is not. The scary part of it all, is that Trump may stay on the ballot and Biden can't go another term and everyone who has been paying attention knows this. Time will tell. Doesn't it always?

@Vin53 And yet Trump is still on the ballot and not in prison. 🤷♂️
