    This may backfire on the Dems big time. It will be seen as political theater and draw even more voters to him, I think in truth if Trump is the 2020 Republican candidate he'll bury any Democrat opponent. Especially because the decrepit old fool in the White House will be recognized as the dangerous failure he is.

    No, but Hunter Biden was cashing in on his father's VP position. And passing on the 10% to pops as noted in his laptop emails..

    Why am I not surprised by this? But nothing will come of this and his supporters want Trump to do anything and everything because the ends justify the means here. Everyone else has to comply, but not Trump or his supporters. At best, it's an FEC violation and may result in fines, but no jail time. But the FEC won't do anything IMO, for political reasons.

    Let’s reverse that

    If it is not OK for Biden to do it then it should not be OK for Trump to do it

    It should be treated equally. Have you got proof that the Biden family did what Trump did?

    You're right. It should be treated equally, but we both know it isn't.

    Biden has had classified material improperly stored for at least 14 years. None of you think that's a problem because you worship the moron.

    Reg #1 yes it did. Read the source I provided...

    "Kushner formed an investment firm right after Trump left office, and six months later, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia, controlled by the crown prince, invested $2 billion."

    the Clinton Foundation did after Bill was president and before Hilary decided to run for president in 2016. But the foundation also returned $1 million from Qatar when she did run, and that was to the foundation in an election year. If it was not an election year and she was not running, it would have been okay to receive that per the law.

    I guess you don't understand the difference between controversy and facts. According to your link, there was questions that arose, but nothing is proven. A congressional investigation ensured as well as a DOJ investigation. But in the end, you still have that 1990 DOJ memo that pretty much said that no sitting president can be indicted by the DOJ for crimes. The congressional investigation didn't even have enough proof to impeach Bill Clinton on that controversy in and of itself. Eventually, Bill Clinton was impeached on other issues after 7 years of GOP investigations, most of which had to do with a person named Monica Lewinsky.

    You made an obviously erroneous claim...lol. I corrected it. You're welcome.

    You're still making erroneous claims.

    In 1998 the DNC had to return $2.8 million in illegal foreign donations.

    Johnny Chung confessed to donating money to Clinton and the DNC that he had received from a Chicom army general.

    Those facts are not in question.

    Your wrongs don't make it right. Nowhere in your article on Wikipedia said that the FEC brought charges. My post was about the FEC only, and they only fined things. I also used the fine that Hilary did when she was running for president, in 2016, which should have been obvious even for you. And somehow you brought up the 1996 campaign scandal, or Chinagate, as it was loosely called.

    So why was it still OK for Trump to do it, in your mind, when he'd been doing it prior to Biden's election?
