One thing to notice here for the ones falling for the Republican “investigation” findings. In the case of Trump, the government has evidence of what took place later after an alleged crime, many times they point to other crimes that Trump did trying to hide the evidence. In the appalling way the Republicans are investigating, a follow-up act like the insinuation of Joe Biden getting the money or mentioning where it ended, is the missing accusation; and many times the reason why it is missing is because innuendo is all what the Republicans have. ---

Also, Joe Biden wasn’t in office then. Not that facts matter to these Republicans. ---

Do they think that the money went to Joe Biden’s home, because I don’t think wire transfers work that way. ---

Not that there’s any evidence of criminal activity, but if there were, the address still wouldn’t matter – what would matter is the name on the recipient’s bank account. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > Do they think that the money went to Joe Biden’s home, because I don’t think wire transfers work that way. They don’t. You either go to the wire office to collect, or they go to your bank account.

You can see the Republican priorities: start impeachment hearings. Never mind government shut down. Though in their mind, “big government.” ---

At the impeachment inquiry, a Democratic member of the House asked for a show of hands as to who in the room believed that, if found guilty of their indictments by a jury of their peers, _both_ Hunter Biden and Donald Trump should be held accountable. All the Democrats raised their hands. None of the Republicans did. > **[Greg Casar Asks If Both Hunter Biden & Donald Trump Should Be Held...](https://www.mediaite.com/politics/worse-than-embarrassing-house-dem-asks-if-both-hunter-trump-should-be-held-accountable-for-actions/)** > > Greg Casar asked House members to raise their hands if they believed "both Hunter and Trump should be held accountable for any of the indictments against them." ---

So Hunter has offered to testify in public. Here is the ridiculous response. Comer: “Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else. That won’t stand with House Republicans.” [http](https://t.co/afpKaqoC04) This party is so unserious. It’s horrible to live with people like this in power. ---

I can’t wait to see that Joe Biden got $40 000 from China. With a check from his brother.
