House releases overview of evidence against Biden

[Hank77]

And surprise surprise Hunter got what he wanted after Joe called and was in the speaker phone.

What did Hunter specifically get after what phone call?

 

[Aldebaran]

Yeah, how dare he support such un-American ideas as exchanging labor for money or allowing private ownership and investment in the means of production. I can see why the GOP would be very very upset at that.

Labor? Hahaha!
Exactly what "labor" did Hunter do for $250,000 from China?

 

[Hank77]

Probably cause is needed for a criminal charge. It is not needed in order to do an inquiry or begin a congressional investigation.

Here's the video of the first day of the hearing. You both could watch it and be informed for yourself.

Yeah but I said they had probable cause

 

[Hank77]

Labor? Hahaha!
Exactly what "labor" did Hunter do for $250,000 from China?

There were two payments to Hunter from BHR Partners, one for $10,000 and one for $250,000.
Hunter borrowed $260,000 using his 10% investment in BHR Partners.

EXCLUSIVE: The $250,000 wire Hunter Biden received from his Chinese business partners was labeled as a "personal investment," despite his legal team claiming the funds were part of a loan and previously saying he never "received any return on his investment," Fox News Digital has learned.

Nice cover story.

 

[KCfromNC]

The Republicans presenting probable cause for an inquiry and the Democrats denying it is all I see

Their witnesses seem to think otherwise : Republicans' own witness pours cold water on Biden impeachment

Feels like yet another case where the stories told by the GOP change when there are actual penalties for lying.

Are you really objecting to people getting paid to work or as a return on their investments. I get it, there are some economic systems which also reject that, but they're typically not really popular with the GOP.

I'm still waiting for someone, anyone, to explain what work he did for China.

What they said was the Republicans don’t have that evidence yet. That’s why you have an inquiry. The threshold for an inquiry is low

Why would anyone feel the need, given the lack of evidence of any sort of wrongdoing?

Typically hearings are held when there's evidence of wrongdoing, not when everyone interviewed seems to be saying that Biden didn't do anything wrong.
What else should we hold hearings about where all the evidence points against there being a reason for a hearing?

 

[Aldebaran]

He has already shown that he's willing to do questionable things. Yes, illegal things too. Crack hasn't been legalized yet, and gun control laws that his father is so proud of still are enforceable.

There were plenty of reasons for a hearing given.

Unless it’s being alleged that the “work” was “illegal” (in some way), it’s none of our business.
Innit?

 

[Aldebaran]

It can certainly be investigated to find out what it was in the meantime. That's how to get the answers.

Yes, investigate away, this is “normal” (if law enforcement agencies are doing the “investigations”; if it’s House Committees (or subcommittees), then that’s not in their purview).

 

[rjs330]

20 phone calls over approximately 10 years? 2 calls a year?

Just how many of these hundred thousand dollar influential meetings does Hunter do in a year? A guy with no real skills and experience. Gee I wonder if I could get some.

Look we all know he is peddling influence. And because Biden is involved in these. At least 20 of them, it's pretty clear what's going on.

How many other ones occured that we don't know about? How many has happened?

It’s alleged that there was no work.

If the DOJ had done their job the committee wouldn’t have to
