I bet there’s not a single smoking gun to lead the republicans into investigating anything. It’s all smoke and mirrors and manufactured hearsay driving it.
There were two supposed “smoking guns” about Joe Biden that conservatives touted in the materials. The first was an email the Post called a “blockbuster,” in which an executive at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma thanked Hunter for the “opportunity to meet your father” in 2015. If you’re steeped in Trumpworld lore, this was dam_ing because of the theory that Biden had the corrupt prosecutor general of Ukraine fired to benefit Burisma, and Biden had said he knew nothing about Hunter’s Ukrainian work, but look, a meeting! (Apparently, it was a dinner at Cafe Milano that Hunter had organized, with about a dozen people.) This appears to amount to Vice President Biden seemingly going to one dinner.
The second involved a business venture that Hunter tried to set up with a Chinese energy tycoon in 2017 (after Joe Biden was no longer vice president). One email mentions that the equity split would include “10 held by H for the big guy ?” A former business partner of Hunter’s named Tony Bobulinski came forward to claim “the big guy” was Joe Biden. But a subsequent email from Hunter says his “Chairman” gave him “an emphatic no,” and a further email clarifies that the chairman is his dad.
So this amounts to Joe Biden apparently refusing some deal Hunter tried to enmesh him in. An alternative possibility is that Joe was not actually ever involved and that Hunter had just been throwing his name around. By Bobulinski’s own account, he briefly met Joe Biden the day before and after an event, and the former vice president only said vague things to him (and the proposed deal never came together in the end).

Now compare that to using actual government positions to secure fast-tracked Chinese copyrights, $2B in funding from MBS, accepting bribes from foreign and domestic interests through his DC hotel, soliciting bribes from foreign heads of state and numerous attempts to secure businesses in Russia, China, Turkey…
The investigations will appease their base. Nothing will come out of it but blame for the Ds and the “Deep State”. However it will get the deep red congress people re-elected in 2024 and THAT is the whole point.
tRump was impeached the first time because he called Zelenskyy to pressure him to just say there is an investigation into Hunter Biden. So now his R’s must have read the play book and decided to do the favor though.
By 2024, the Repubs will have solved all the nation’s ills, that is their priority … /s. Had a difficult time typing that without falling on the floor laughing.
Hunter’s laptop must be investigated because it holds all the GOP’s solutions for inflation, violent crime and immigration – which they promised to solve for us.

They’ll “investigate” anything that’s connected to Democrats. What they’ll CALL it is still being worked on.

Republican ‘investigations’ all follow the same script:
Announce the target of the investigation.
Announce what the investigation has concluded.
Subpoena the target and other witnesses.
Ask the target the same questions over and over and make haranguing speeches while claiming they are questions.
Announce the hearing has proved the conclusion that was announced in advance.
.
If you’d like to see a template, look at the Benghazi hearings.

GOP agendas is waste time, waste tax dollars, stall, deflect, lie and allow loons, nuts and wack jobs to take over the party.

I bet NO MAGAotts will ever admit, even to themselves, that this is all 100% ACCURATE AND TRUE!!
Their “investigations” are all 100% NOTHINGBURGERS based on NO PROOF OR EVIDENCE, just a load of hearsay and innuendo.

One question: Who is currently in possession of this alleged laptop?
(And I don’t mean an alleged copy of its contents.)
By the way, if it really is Hunter’s, it should still have some of his fingerprints and DNA on it.

One at a time, please. The open borders are indeed “open”. “Simple negation isn’t an argument, Mr. Jones. Yes it is. No it isn’t…”

The border’s not open? So who are all those people pouring across it?
