  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Perhaps you should read the articles on the subject, see what they say. Two things I've noticed: First, the FBI investigated the claims, when they were originally made, and found they were false. Smirnov (the informant) claimed how he had conversations in 2015 and 2016 how Burisma hired Joe and Hunter to run interference for them. The issue is, there was no evidence that he spoke to them in 2015 or 16, that the first contact actually was in 2017. And this is beyond the investigation being unable to support the claims. It was also found that Smirnov was strongly opposed to Joe Biden's campaign in 2020 and that is likely a primary reason for his approaching the FBI with these claims.

Next, when they reinterviewed him in 2023 (knowing that he had lied about talking to Burisma executives in 2015 and 2016), Smirnov changed his story to having heard it from the Russians.

Now, we'll see what might occur with these charges but, based on the evidence released so far, it appears that there is good reason for Smirnov being arrested for lying to the FBI before he could leave the country.

Yes. But I think it is mitigated by the fact that the Republican who is in charge of the investigation is the one bringing the charges.

The same one who made the sweetheart plea deal and only got serious when Hunter disrespected him?

The lead investigator appointed by Trump to look into Hunter Biden. If he gave him a "sweetheart plea deal" then it fell through.

Did I stutter? no

I would like the republicans and red hats here to make a public apology to President Joe Biden for attacking him over and over about the 5 million dollars and the ridiculous impeachment nonsense.

It looks like the FBI has unreliable informants.
Hunter rejected the sweetheart deal because he wanted full immunity from future charges

The FBI having an unreliable informant doesn’t exonerate Biden.

If all the republicans and red hats here who called for Biden's job over the 5 million dollars they claim Biden took are all working for the FBI, then yes.

I just say let them do the investigation. If Biden is cleared it helps him and puts egg on their faces.
So far it looks like Biden engaged in unethical conduct but not illegal

There is no investigation. It is called a witch hunt.
