> [@QuickSilver](#): > > Barr, a well established Trump crony, has not brought the DOJ to bear on the Bidens for the very same reason that investigative bodies have not done so – there is no there there. It’s likely no coincidence that this story cropped up exactly as the “unmasking” story quietly disappeared. We all remember the fervor of Trump supporters at the beginning of that one, and how “this time they have a list of names!” and “They’re all going to jail!” yadda yadda yadda. Where did all that go? Where did all the other “investigations” into Biden, Obama, Clinton go? How many nothingburgers have been served? But _this time_ it’s going to be different. Just like all the other ones were going to be. ---

Are you withdrawing because your evidence-free claims are being mocked? If so, you shouldn’t be surprised – evidence-free claims are usually mocked on this board. As they should be. ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > Not at all. The vast majority of the allegations just show that Hunter did some stupid stuff. Nothing solid points to Joe. If you read the various linked articles, some of the claims being made are that Joe Biden was to take a 20-30% ownership/profit in the Chinese capital venture. Some have alleged that the Bidens stood to profit to the tune of $3.5M. So yes, if any of this had been born out, Joe Biden would certainly be implicated. Which is entirely the point of these false allegations. Who honestly gives a flying fuck about Hunter Biden if they can’t make any of this stick to Joe? ---

No, that is not true. They mention “the big guy” or “the chairman” Joe Bidens name is never mentioned. And in fact NONE of these deals have ever gone thru. Which means this whole things is made up BS. ---
