Beyond the fact that this is not verified to be an actual text message, but is from an anonymous "whistleblower," there seem to be three issues here. 1) There is zero evidence that Joe Biden knew of the text message which leads us to number 2) there is no evidence Joe Biden received any of the money from this deal, while they know the "Biden Family" (the term used since they can't show Joe received any of the money but can trace it to other Bidens) did get the money. So Joe Biden was allegedly involved and knew all about it but didn't get any of the money?

Number 3, though, is the biggest and keeps it from being any type of crime. Even if you can prove 1 and 2 -- which to date there is zero evidence for -- this occurred in 2017 when Joe Biden was out of government and a private citizen. As such, he has every right, as a US Citizen, to have made money on the deal -- there is literally no crime tied to the text message (unless Joe Biden did receive money and did not report it on his taxes; but, again, while we can track the money paid nothing shows any of it went to Joe Biden).

Exactly where is the crime?

There doesn’t have to be one in order to get people riled up over this.
“Normal=outrageous” now.

A cease and desist letter from a lawyer isn't a court order.

Cease and desist letters are not legally binding at all. At best, they serve as a warning that if the action persists, a lawsuit may follow....but the letter itself has no force of law behind it whatsoever.

It's pretty much verified to be not an actual text message.

The purported profile pic of H. Biden in the "text message" is from April 2022 (specifically photos taken by the New York Times at the White House Egg Roll), despite it supposedly being dated in 2017.

I also heard that those texts were supposed to have been from WhatsApp but they should be green not blue.

*sigh* My understanding is that the images shared by GOP representatives was a 'mockup' created by staffers based on what a whistleblower said was the content of an alleged WhatsApp message.

However, a spokesperson for Ways and Means told Newsweek on Friday that the photo was never intended to mimic a real screenshot, and that the message contained in the markup is directly from Shapley's testimony about Hunter Biden's alleged message.

(you may recall the furore when Adam Schiff's staff added a period to Jim Jordan's text message. (which was not attributed (by Schiff) to Jim Jordan))

Funny thing is.. Adam Shiff went on for 4 years with "hearsay" and lies about smoking guns... the media made a profession out of them..
Then this.... is dismissed as "not verified" when even the democrats are accepting it as a true event... no matter what platform it was on...

You didn’t answer the question what is the crime supposed to have been?

Yes, Adam Schiff did... just as Republicans have been doing with Joe Biden for roughly 4 years now. Yet they can't seem to find any actual criminal activity when they are holding hearings, though it doesn't stop them from proclaiming loudly about how guilty Joe is once they leave the hearing rooms, despite the complete lack of evidence.

So fine, that takes care of about the first sentence of my post. So to remind you of the rest of it, where is any actual evidence that Joe knew about the text message and received any money from the deal; and to repeat, even if he did, what is the crime that was committed?

Let them investigate. I want to see some real fruit, but all we get is innuendo and maybes and we don’t really knows, but it could bes. So far a whole lot of nothing.
So the republicans will have to do an inquiry to see if they need a hearing, to have an investigation to see if there's any evidence.
