Bidengate Breaks... err... down

I opened the thread and saw this quote:

Stop bleeding like a banshee. You’re all so predictable. The jurors did their job, even though they believed it was a waste of tax payer money. Move on !

And thought it was aimed at the MAGA whiners.

Interesting to note that the Hunter Biden jurors are willing to talk to the press. It’s as if they don’t fear for their lives. Wtf?

That's pretty easy to explain.

They finally feel safe. We've finally nabbed the biggest criminal mastermind in US history (according to Fox News) and now that Hunter is headed to prison, his jurors will no longer have to worry about the retribution of his massive net of criminal conspirators.

The concern I have is that now that the greatest crime lord in US history is finally being brought to justice, the Republican talking point about "rampant crime in America" will fall apart by November. Hunter has been convicted. Crime in general will drop precipitously as a result. Did the GOP even think about this? How can you campaign on being "tough on crime" when all the crime has been taken care of now that Hunter Biden is off the grid?

I'm just asking questions...

Where are the Second Amendment fundamentalists?

Gun Influencer 'Disappointed' in Firearm Owners' Silence on Hunter Biden - Newsweek
"I am disappointed in the shortsightedness of the 2A community in the Hunter Biden case. Remove political partisanship from the equation, you don't have to like Hunter Biden. Hell I don't obviously. But this is a chance to further prove the unconstitutionally of the 4473," Eric Blandford, the Georgia State Director for the Gun Owners of America, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

He saw that also.
In a statement to Newsweek on Tuesday, Randy Kozuch, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) said, "The National Rifle Association has always stood for the lawful use and possession of firearms. Mr. Biden's documented lifestyle choices at the time of purchasing a firearm made him a prohibited person under current law."

Which begs the question.

He totally did not address the question of whether that form was contrary to the Second Amendment.

Also, I thought that right-wingers hated government bureaucracy. They might think that HB was tripped up by some forms that he had to fill out.

Yes. It would be interesting to see the political reactions should Hunter appeal up to the Supreme Court on the grounds that it’s an unconstitutional infringement on his 2nd amendment rights.

My irony meter repair business would go into overdrive!

You know what would be lovely? If Hunter started up a gofundme in the same vein as Trump fundraising grift to cover his legal expenses for his appeal. Not for his appeal per se, but something to hang over every MAGAtard dipshit running for office with something like "If you believe in the Second Amendment so much why didn't you support this US citizen when his gun rights were clearly being infringed?"

Where were they when Philando Castile was killed? If they didn't care about a person who let the officer know he possessed a gun (legally) being killed by said officer, why would they care about Hunter Biden.

There are no Second Amendment fundamentalists, there is only the gun manufacturing lobby.

Hunter Biden cites Trump ruling in seeking dismissal of gun and tax cases - CNBC

The irony. But this motion shouldn't go anywhere with a normal sane judge
Click to expand...
Why? Either special prosecutors are legal and both cases are valid or they're illegal (and the reason search evidence is discarded is because SCOTUS specifically said that, not because a case is automatically tossed if there's an illegal step in bringing it) and both should be tossed.

This is just hoisting them by their own petard. The judge should put the cases on hold pending a final decision in whether The Felon's case can proceed.

The New York Times Belatedly Admits the Emails on Hunter Biden's Abandoned Laptop Are Real and Newsworthy

Yesterday The New York Times published a story that quotes emails from a laptop that Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son, abandoned at a computer repair shop in Delaware. The messages reinforce the impression that Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that reportedly paid the younger Biden $50,000 a month to serve on its board, expected him to use his influence with his father for the company's benefit—an allegation that figured prominently in the scandal that led to Donald Trump's impeachment for pressuring the Ukrainian government to announce a Biden-Burisma corruption investigation. The messages include evidence that Hunter Biden arranged an April 2015 meeting between his father, then the vice president, and a Burisma executive.

If all that sounds familiar, it's because the New York Post first reported this eyebrow-raising information back in October 2020, a month before the presidential election. Pro-Biden, anti-Trump journalists, including several at the Times, portrayed the Post's story as unsubstantiated at best. Politico reported that "more than 50 former senior intelligence officials" believed the emails had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." Some journalists suggested it was reckless even to acknowledge the Post's report. Twitter, which initially blocked links to the article, seemed to agree. While the Times did not ignore the story, the paper's coverage treated it with skepticism and disdain.
Click to expand...

But that was then. A year and a half later, the Times thinks the emails it viewed as suspect before Joe Biden's election are now newsworthy. "People familiar" with a federal investigation of Hunter Biden, it reports, "said prosecutors had examined emails" between him, his former business partner Devon Archer, "and others" regarding "Burisma and other foreign business activity." Those emails "were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop." The messages "were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation."

Oh man. Simpler times...

I wonder if there are still some Trump cultist who are still fixated on Obama's birth certificate. I mean of course there are - just wondering if they are still openly crapping on about it....

Not sure what you're getting at. I was merely pointing out that the NYT was finally admitting what everyone (including Hunter) now knows and admits...that the laptop was Hunter's, and not from some Russian disinformation operation (according to some 50 senior intelligence officials).

If you want some real entertainment though, check out the first few pages of this thread and see all those here who were siding with it being Russian disinformation. Those are the ones I was poking fun at in my post.

So the details have been confirmed regarding the laptop, including those made by Giuliani? Because those accusations were the main ones being denied as being legitimate.

The emails were the weak sauce. The ethics regarding Hunter's appointment to that board didn't seem quite as important to the GOP back when he was appointed to the board, though some people did raise ethics concerns then. Burisma's main goal was to whitewash their companies tainted reputation. They really didn't get much else out of Hunter.

Okay, just to be clear, you didn't find anything off about the alleged laptop story? Had that been a laptop from the Trump Organization by Eric Trump's wife and the shop owner who was legally blind noticed, and then made a copy of the hard drive and shipped to James Carville, and then emails started coming out, you'd have thought... this is completely above board!

Yeah, it was never the issue that a son of a former vice President would be so affluent that he at one time owned a laptop that was the issue. It was what Guiliani and the MAGAverse alleged what was on it that was bullshit Russian disinformation.
