Director of National Intelligence Ratcliffe: Hunter Biden Laptop, Emails Not Russian Disinformation

[New !]

You just have to look at how the Biden family has been enriched while joe has been in office. It’s clear he uses access/influence to enrich his family. Now to be fair I bet the majority of people in govt do that.
Trump on the other hand had all those connections you want people to look at with a wary eye BEFORE he got into politics.

This is plausible but knowing what we know about Trump the chances of him missing out on an opportunity to make money are pretty slim. When you’ve paid out as many settlements for fraud (remember Trump University?) as he has it gives the impression that there is no depth he won’t sink to acquire wealth. His ego and personality are built around it. He knows they can’t touch him while he’s in office either.

He'll never get the opportunity. Both parties engage in this but they can't very well set off a #metoo type of anti-graft/influence peddling movement or they will all get taken down. They look the other way when slopping at the trough. I think Romney had a Burisma boy too didn't he?

Trump and his family will be held to a much higher standard than most if not all previous presidents/politicians. The SDNY will be combing through everything they can to try to arrest him and family and destroy his brand and business interests wherever and whenever possible. You can bank on that. They have to destroy Trumpism. It is an always will be a threat.

This lays out the issues better than anything I've seen so far.

Did Joe Biden Take a Bribe?

As I was getting ready for work this morning, I noticed my toothbrush was in a different spot than where I left it. My only conclusion is that Russia infiltrated my bathroom and moved my toothbrush. Clearly there's no evidence to support that...but...who cares?

Will the madness ever end? The Russians are everywhere!

I noticed that Daily Wire (an extremely biased source) story relies on an anonymous source and doesn't quote the FBI confirming Ratcliffe's claims.

Officially, the FBI has declined to comment on any of it, including Ratcliffe's bullshit.

Unsurprisingly, the far right AMGreatness doesn't do honest reporting.

NYPost has not published an "email trail." They published a .pdf file and a .jpeg purporting to be emails from a Burisma official to Hunter Biden. They have refused to release anything which would enable anyone to authenticate it, but they haven't claimed to have authenticated it, either. We've since learned the NYPost reporter who wrote the story refused to let his byline get attached to it, and the reporter whose byline was attached to it didn't know she was getting credited until after it published.

More recent developments demonstrate both how ridiculously stupid this Giuliani scam is and how gullible and mindless the Trump fan base is. Seeing the NYPost story is having no impact on electorate, Giuliani has upped the ante by claiming there's child porn on the Hunter Biden laptop. Child porn! Because of course he, Rudy Giuliani, former United States Attorney and Mayor of New York would be far, far more concerned everyone would know Hunter Biden exchanged emails and had pictures of himself with a crack pipe than to let us know about child porn, so he wouldn't mention the child porn when he gave this the the NYPost nor when he was flapping the story to anyone who would listen. Not for a few days, anyway. Not until it looked like the initial allegations were going over like a lead balloon..

This only goes to show Giuliani's mental faculties are in serious decline. By his own admission, he's knowingly possessed and distributed child porn. He's also implicated his alleged source for this material, the blind computer repair man, Mac Isaac, who also copied, possessed, and distributed child porn if Giuliani's latest rantings are to be believed. Steve Bannon also bragged to Dutch television that he had a copy of this hard drive, so presumably he, too, has been in possession of child porn for months.

I can hear the Trump fan base apologia already: Giuliani and Mac Isaac gave the child porn to the FBI! So they say, but you don't get to make a copy for yourself, keep it, and pass it around to other people even if you give it to the FBI. If you by some chance run across child porn and report it, you haven't broken any laws. Even if you were unintentionally in possession of it. But you don't get to copy and keep it after turning it over to law enforcement.

Spot on. I just don't understand why folks don't just admit what Trump is and will always be with his secret Chinese bank accounts.

So is wicked.

I'm pretty sure pickles is a Russian asset as well.

So this means nothing.

With this new Ratcliff update that Iran and Russia are sending out this crap to democratic voters...makes me wonder. Why do they want Trump to stay in office so bad?

My answer, they like us being in conflict. Who better than Trump to make that come to life.

They wanted to make Trump look bad by making his supporters look bad. Pretty simple explanation really.

Oh, absolutley. Russia especially prefers Trump big time. He's left the field open for them completley. That should make some think, when pretty much all the "bad guys" want's Trump, and the allies prefer anyone else (in this case Biden), why ever could that be...? Like you say, because he's a sure way to keep USA divided, fighting within, and the way he's enabled countries like Russia and Turkey to do almost what they want.. yeah.

Actually, I think you have it backwards. They wanted to make Trump look bad by tying him to the Proud Boys.

Trump isn't causing the conflict, the left's inability to accept election results is. All those terrible alt-right groups didn't burn and loot cities when Obama won.

Check your mirror.
