Hunter Biden Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad

Fox News did cover it. They didn't emphasize it but it was there.

Your second statement is false. Dorsey apologized for not providing more context for why the story was being blocked, not for blocking it.

 

Your posting history?

 

It's still continuing, alright... Making progress in leaps and bounds!

 

Why is it shareable today? What changed?

 

The Biden China connections look really, really bad.

 

Zzz.

 

What about Ivanka's trademarks being approved by the CCP days before Trump removed sanctions on ZTE? She holds 34 trademarks in Gina. Such a hardworking businesswoman.

I don't know.

 

It's amazing the amount of effort they are using to make this a thing even if all of this true it still would not move the needle at all.

Random computer shop owner?

Really?

 

Take a chill pill. The crack pipe part was tongue in cheek response. It's now pretty obvious based on Joe's past statements about what he knew about Hunter's dealings were a lie. At the very least, he should be asked about this at the next debate.

 

Now you want to talk about Ivanna and the 34 patents or Jarrad getting substantial loans from the Saudis and the UAE?

Talk about peddling influence.

All of the Hunter stuff is speculation while Trump stuff is actual facts.

 

Just like the craps made up, by Rudi/Trump, about CrowdStrike.

CrowdStrike, a US-based co / leader in cybersecurity, was founded by a Russian American from Brooklyn, who had immigrated to the US as a toddler.
CRWD was hired by the DNC to investigate the 2016 hacking of its computers; it was able to quickly trace / identify the Russian hackers from St. Petersburg.

• Rudi G twisted this story w the spin that
  • CRWD was a Ukraninan co who had taken physical control of the DNC computer,
    • w the innuendo that CRWD had manipulated the DNC computers and did the hacking.

as per Trump's phone call to the Ukrainian president, the dotard repeated this false narrative.

during the Trump impeachment trial, after the false narrative was exposed, CRWD immediately asserted that it

• is a US-based co / publicly traded and incorporated in the state of Delaware, and
• has never taken physical control of DNC computers.

​

 

It must not be that censored as people are talking about it everywhere.... although it really did not go the way the Trump administration wanted it to go, as mostly it has been ridiculed.

 

It's very telling he has to go on Newsmax to get this out.

 

This is called Projection.

Everything Trump does, he ends up accusing someone else of the same.

 

Correct. And obviously pokes a hole in the trump supporters complaint that facebook and twitter are somehow preventing people from reading the news, since people can simply go to another private entity to get false information should they please, whether it be newsmax, or epoch times, or fox news, or the inquirer...

 

The linked story says nothing about Joe Biden and his involvement in his son's business, and it contains photographs of an undressed Hunter Biden taken from his personal computer without his consent. This is tabloid trash, a perfect reflection of the Trump presidency and its defenders.

Justice Dept. ‘Unmasking’ Review Finds No Irregularities and Is Given to Durham
The finding delivers a blow to President Trump’s push to validate the notion of a “deep state” plot to undermine him.

WASHINGTON — For years, President Trump has accused national security officials in the Obama administration of wrongdoing for making routine classified information requests called unmaskings, falsely portraying them as part of a plot to undermine him.

“The big story is the ‘unmasking and surveillance’ of people that took place during the Obama Administration,” he posted on Twitter in 2017.

But John Bash, a U.S. attorney appointed by Attorney General William P. Barr to vet the issue, found no irregularities in those unmasking requests, which revealed that the president’s former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn had appeared in intelligence reports, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the matter.

The Justice Department has portrayed Mr. Bash’s work as a review, not a criminal investigation. His findings were given to John H. Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, who is conducting a criminal investigation into the roots of the Russia inquiry, the officials said.


Mr. Bash, who stepped down last week as the U.S. attorney in the Western District of Texas for a job in the private sector, was inclined to recommend changes to the unmasking process, one official said. Mr. Barr replaced him with Gregg Sofer, a veteran of the U.S. attorney’s office in the district’s Austin division who was most recently a counselor to Mr. Barr.

“Without commenting on any specific investigation, any matters that John Bash was overseeing will be assumed by Gregg Sofer,” said Kerri Kupec, a Justice Department spokeswoman. She declined to comment on any aspect of Mr. Bash’s work. The Washington Post earlier reported his conclusions.

The revelation about Mr. Bash’s findings is a blow to Mr. Trump’s push to portray the Russia investigation and related matters as an election issue and the Justice Department’s scrutiny of them as certain to reveal a “deep state” plot against him.

Mr. Barr has told associates that the Durham investigation is unlikely to yield any revelations that can be shared with the public before the election in November; Mr. Bash’s findings seem to have knocked down one of the president’s key allegations against his foes.

News that Mr. Bash did not find serious wrongdoing by any Obama-era official infuriated Mr. Trump. “Personally, I think it’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous. It’s a disgrace,” he said in an interview with Newsmax on Wednesday. “They actually said no indictments before the election,” he added, in an apparent reference to the larger Durham investigation.

The president also said he was determined to find out why Mr. Durham was not ready to release a report. “He’s got so much stuff,” Mr. Trump said.

National security officials routinely make unmasking requests as they read and try to understand intelligence reports and other classified communications; for privacy reasons, names of Americans in the reports are blacked out, but officials can ask to see them to better understand the documents.

Such requests made by Obama administration officials during the presidential transition revealed conversations involving Mr. Flynn. For the past year, Mr. Trump and his allies have placed increasing pressure on the Justice Department to address those requests.

In May, Republicans released a list of names of Obama administration officials who had inquired in late 2016 and early 2017 about the identity of an American in National Security Agency intelligence reports that turned out to be Mr. Flynn, then Mr. Trump’s incoming national security adviser. They included John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director; Samantha Power, the ambassador to the United Nations; James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence; James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director; and Douglas E. Lute, the American ambassador to NATO.

But the list did not say what the intelligence reports were about, or whether they included surveillance of foreign officials talking about Mr. Flynn or of intelligence targets talking to him.

After the list was released, the Justice Department said that Mr. Barr had asked Mr. Bash to review whether the requests were irregular or improper, and then give his research to Mr. Durham.

“Unmasking inherently isn’t wrong, but certainly the frequency, the motivation and the reasoning behind unmasking can be problematic,” Ms. Kupec said in an interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News when she announced Mr. Bash's review.

“When you’re looking at unmasking as part of a broader investigation — like John Durham’s investigation — looking specifically at who was unmasking whom can add a lot to our understanding about motivation and big-picture events,” Ms. Kupec said.

This is not the first time that the Justice Department under the Trump administration has pushed politically divisive work to U.S. attorneys far from the main department in Washington.

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions asked John W. Huber, the United States attorney in Utah, to examine allegations by Mr. Trump and his allies about Hillary Clinton — work that Mr. Durham also absorbed.

And federal prosecutors outside of Washington are accepting information about potential ties between Democrats and Ukraine from Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer.




So President Trump is complaining that they found nothing after claiming "unmasking" was the big scandal, and now President Obama has come forward and said that the investigation found nothing.

Barr may not officially close the investigation (as Barr is known for putting extreme pressure on the JD), but it is complete for all intents and purposes. It was nothing but a politically motivated venture by Trump and Barr as election ammunition. Credit to Bash for not falsifying information.
