Parnas and Fruman may be shady but they are US citizens and haven’t been convicted of anything. Looks similar to what Hunter Biden was doing and they are possibly guilty of not registering as foreign agents.
You linked to the minority Senate report which shows people who had meetings with Russians. It may be shady but there’s nothing there.
He is almost exactly what I would have imagined. But, I grossly underestimated the amount that the GOP was willing to put up with, especially with Pence waiting in the wings, and imagined that they would have pulled the plug on this disaster a long time ago.
In what way?
Acting as a foreign agent without registering as a foreign agent. The same thing Paul Manafort went to prison for.
Paul Manafort went to prison for quite a long list of crimes, most notably money laundering, on the basis of a significant amount of evidence.
The “evidence” that Hunter Biden was illegally acting as a foreign agent, however, is…to put it charitably… currently of suspect veracity. But I applaud your dedication to the narrative.
Moderating:
We do not call posters liers, not in this forum. Second, what he said, that Russians have financed disinformation campaigns seem totally justified by known facts.
No warning for now.
Moderating again:
That plus the hijack plus your total lack of interest in facts that contradict your unattested assertions have changed my mind. This is now an official warning.
That seems a bullshit comparison. Paul Manafort lobbied for foreign leaders in Washington. Hunter Biden was on the board of a private foreign corporation.
Also, here’s what Paul Manafort “went to prison” for (that is, was actually convicted of):
Virginia: five counts of tax fraud, one count of failing to disclose his foreign bank accounts, and two counts of bank fraud.
DC: One count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and one count of witness tampering (as per the agreed plea bargain).
Soliciting investments from foreign entities is not the same thing as acting as their agent to advance their political interests in the US.
If you told me in 2015 that I would have voted for Hillary in 2016 I would have laughed at you. But I voted for Hillary because I didn’t think she’d screw things up. I didn’t realize in 2016 how bad Trump really was, but I knew his administration would be bad enough that I didn’t want any part of it.
I’ll be honest; I never imagined that Trump would cause hundreds of children to become orphans. (The administration is unable to identify the parents of 545 of the children separated from their parents at the border.)

I’m not going to give him any points for having a lower body count than George W. Bush.[/quote]
Ummm, but does he?
There is over a QUARTER MILLION DEAD AMERICANS due to his COVID response. I’m pretty sure that’s more than what George W. was responsible for.
I’m not saying no Americans would have died if he had he had a competent COVID response, but I would think the number would be well under 100k.

“they traveled together to China on Air Force Two, where Hunter landed a $1.5 billion commitment from a government-controlled Chinese bank”

Isn’t it likely that who brought them here were not their parents?
Thankfully, because President Trump wanted to hurt innocent asylum seekers, we don’t know.
Trump is human garbage. And scrambling around incoherently trying to defend him isn’t a great look.
Doesn’t matter. Can they reunite whoever the children came to the border with? This is an absolute failure.
Doesn’t it get tiring to gullibly believe everything the RW media says, and then be proven wrong. nearly every time?
Not really, why do you think so?
“…U.S. authorities claim that human smugglers like El Lobo (the wolf) are at the heart of the current border crisis because they have facilitated the travels of the 57,000 unaccompanied immigrant children who’ve been apprehended in South Texas since October.”
Example?
