Do you ever get the feeling the Republicans are just putting on a dog & pony show to distract us from Trump?
They would never.
The relevant portion starts on page 81. Walker says that Hunter seemed to try and set up an appearance by his father without his knowing, and Joe appeared for a moment and left almost immediately, with no business discussion at all.
So the GOP committee is lying, and you’re helping to spread that lie. Why are you so committed to helping the GOP with their lies?
No we don’t. There’s not a shred of evidence. You’ve offered nothing. The GOP has nothing. Joe never said he was never in the same room as someone who did business with Hunter, he said that he’d never discussed business with Hunter or any of his business acquaintances. And nothing the GOP has offered actually disputes this. Nothing at all.
This is a baseless GOP lie that you’re helping to spread.
None of these actually show any business meetings or business discussions, and therefore none of them offer any evidence Joe lied.
More baseless GOP lies that you’re helping to spread.
I don’t see a cite for these claims. Please cite every single sentence.
So at most, here, maybe the WH Press person said something inaccurate about a dinner. Nothing about Joe Biden lying, and certainly nothing about any business discussion. So, once again, no evidence Joe Biden lied, and no evidence is wrongdoing.
More GOP lies that you’re assisting with.
Politico is not a good source since they were acquired by Axel Springer in 2021, IMO. They push out a lot of garbage.
Even if they were, the article doesn’t support the GOP lies about Biden.
If it helps, I saw the clip of Biden being asked about his contact with business associates. The question was framed as “The American people believe that…” rather than “There is evidence that…”. Biden did indeed say it was all lies. And in this, he appears to have been telling the truth.
In Trumpywumpy speak: People are saying since couple of weeks ago, Sleepy Joe was asked about the CLEAR and DAMMMING evidence that Sleepy Joel had been in deep contact and SUPPOrTING Hunter’s deep STATE associates!! Sleepy Joe lied and says “They’re all LIES!” TRUE Patriots know these aren’t lies. It’s all true.
That better?
And he talked to his son about the weather and stuff……he let his son “ have access” to him. Everyone knows that once your child goes into business, you need to cut them off completely in order not to be corrupt.
I went ahead and cut off all communication with my kids when they opened their first lemonade stand, just to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
That’s not what people are saying.
Some people’s memories seem amazingly short. Here’s ranking member Raskin’s summary of Faceplant Comer’s little fishing expedition as a reminder:
I almost forgot about that excellent summary. You know, seriously, it’s as if he was providing a point-by-point rebuttal to a particular poster on our board.
That is indeed a great summary, and point by point refutes every one of the GOP House lies that Sam has repeated.
Hold on, why the hell does anyone need proof that a person has access to their FATHER???
This needed to be proven, that Hunter knew his Dad and spoke to him sometimes? What the hell is this?
It’s a pile of steaming horse dung, that’s what it is.
According to Grassley, there is no there there.
Searching for “Father” and “dad” in that document the only thing I found was the following two exchanges (edited to delete a multitude of "Hmph hmph"ing)
Page 67:
Wilson: Okay. Um…, and I get it if the…, this is a uncomfortable question…, but did you hear …(clears throat)…, did you hear Jim or Hunter like throw out their dad’s name to say like …you know, kind of “wink and …elbow” like we’ll make this happen because of my dad or ah, did they use the…, like put that influence out there…
Walker: No.
Wilson: …in front of you?
Walker: Ah, I would never doubt that…, that Jim would do something like that …‘cause he always ah…, he always talked about his brother but it was always ah, usually in the past about how …he helped his brother in California or helped his brother with this and that and um, you know …circle super, you know, ah, pride with that. Hunter, ah, ah, was always um, real careful, ah, about ah…, not ah…, ah…, crossing any sort of lines like that.
Wilson: Okay. Even when he was in…, in financial issues?
Soline: Yeah.
Walker: He might have said something like, you know, ah, you know, my family……but ah…, or, you know…my family is ah…, is…, is needing this…but he never would say his father and um…, I certainly never interpreted it as ah…, his father was involved. He was …never involved in anything in any way, um…, but could the Chinese or somebody else take something like that in…, in some way…, sure…, but ah…, I think it would be ah…, ah…, a little naïve I think if…, if you’re looking at me and James and ah……Hunter.
Page 95:
Walker: …we may not even have had an entity at first but ah…, we split off when we were gonna do our…We have…, have ah…, our own lobbying shop and ah…, I wasn’t part of the general partnership…, ah…, and just kind of right at the time when um…, ah…, the former President asked ah…, his dad to be ah…, running mate and he was really “anti” any sort of lobbying at all so…
Wilson: You’re talkin’ about President Obama.
Walker: Yeah.
Wilson: Okay.
Walker: And I was doing some maybe lobbying work for a small aerospace company…, A…, ANBC and they had their, you know, Jesuit people and…, and stuff and…, um…, we ended up having to drop a…, a lot if not all of the lobbying clients.
So once again we get a cite that says the opposite of what is claimed.
