    sure that is why they hired him, no crime in him suckering them into hiring him

    The Trump children used daddy's last name too, how do you think Ivanka got those Trademarks? Her problem was she worked for the White House at the time

    Probably exposing the direction from those in the US government in Twitters suspension of the NY Post's twitter page and blocking of any dissemination of news on Hunters laptop. Twitter users have no concerns. Those in government censoring the truth regarding the crimes of the Presidential Candidate they would prefer to win shuld be concerned. Twitter cant violate freedom of speech. Only the government can do that.

    Trump's "perfect call" made Ukraine look weak and like Trump was trying to manipulate them, and then when Trump got caught, he knew they lost support from Trump the rest of his term, thus the perfect time to attack in Putin's eyes

    They hired him for influence getting what they wanted from the Obama Administration through his dad, the VP. Probably got it too.

    The thread isn't about a comparison.
    Sit and review the topic.

    Hmmm...

    In a Thursday report, Republican lawmakers described several evidence and whistleblower testimony suggesting President Biden had knowledge of his family’s foreign business activities. The report also said “Committee Republicans are aware of the existence of additional evidence implicating the Biden family business ventures in suspicious activities but have been obstructed in our attempts to obtain that information.”

    “The Department of Treasury is in possession of at least 150 Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to Biden family members’ financial transactions,” the Republican report states. “Despite numerous formal requests by Committee Republicans to review those SARs, and despite
    decades of precedent of Treasury making SARs available pursuant to congressional requests, the Biden Administration changed longstanding policy and now refuses to produce Biden family SARs or to make them available for Committee Republican investigators’ in camera review.”

    These SARs are records produced by banking and financial institutions file with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) whenever there is a suspected case of money laundering or fraud.

    A FinCEN guide to SARs describes several suspicious behaviors for which SARs may be used, including:

    a lack of evidence of legitimate business activity, or any business operations at all, undertaken by many of the parties to the transaction(s); unusual financial nexuses and transactions occurring among certain business types (e.g., food importer dealing with an auto parts exporter);
    transactions that are not commensurate with the stated business type and/or that are unusual and unexpected in comparison with the volumes of similar businesses operating in the same locale;
    • unusually large numbers and/or volumes of wire transfers and/or repetitive wire transfer patterns;
    • unusually complex series of transactions indicative of layering activity involving multiple accounts, banks, parties, jurisdictions;
    • suspected shell entities;
    • bulk cash and monetary instrument transactions;
    • unusual mixed deposits of money orders, third party checks, payroll checks, etc., into a business account;
    • transactions being conducted in bursts of activities within a short period of time, especially in previously dormant accounts;
    • transactions and/or volumes of aggregate activity inconsistent with the expected purpose of the account and expected levels and types of account activity conveyed to the financial institution by the accountholder at the time of the account opening;
    • beneficiaries maintaining accounts at foreign banks that have been subjects of previous SAR filings;
    • parties and businesses that do not meet the standards of routinely initiated due diligence and anti-money laundering oversight programs (e.g., unregistered/unlicensed businesses);
    • transactions seemingly designed to, or attempting to avoid reporting and recordkeeping requirements; and
    • correspondent accounts being utilized as “pass-through” points by foreign jurisdictions with subsequent outgoing funds to another foreign jurisdiction.
    • According to the Republicans, there are at least 150 SARs associated with Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, and the president’s son, Hunter Biden.

    The Republican report states that Republicans on the House Oversight and Reform Committee began seeking these 150 SARs in May of this year, reaching out to both the Treasury Department and various financial institutions the Biden family members may have used.

    The report said many of the banks would only provide the requested SARs under a subpoena, which is a power the Republicans have not had as the minority party in the House in recent years.

    The report said the Treasury Department — which is an executive branch department under President Biden’s authority — has also withheld the SARs thus far.

    While the Biden Administration’s Treasury Department publicly claims it is cooperating with Committee Republicans’ investigation, this is not true. According to Treasury, SARS are made available to Members of Congress “regardless of party.” Treasury has publicly stated it has made SARS “available for every request [they’ve] received,” but this is not true as not a single request by Republicans working on this investigation has been accommodated.

    Just as concerning, the Biden Administration changed longstanding Treasury policy of providing SARS to congressional committees. Under the Biden Administration’s policy, no committee is able to obtain SARS for review. Instead if the Department of Treasury chooses to cooperate congressional staff must review these complex financial documents in camera at Treasury.

    Biden family has 150+ 'suspicious activity reports' says House GOP (americanmilitarynews.com)

    Nope, it didn't.

    So, can you name the crime or not?
    Stop deflecting.
    If you can't, just say NO.
    If you can, state the crime.

    “Instead of working with President Biden to address issues important to the American people, like lower costs, congressional Republicans’ top priority is to go after President Biden with politically-motivated attacks chock full of long-debunked conspiracy theories,” Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s Office told Newsweek on Thursday.

    The conversation is about political corruption and Hunter and his Dad's part in it related to Ukraine and Burisma.

    yes, and comparing this President's children's actions to the last is valid in a conversation such as this

    as trump's daughter and son and law actually worked in the white house, it makes it even worse

    The dirt and filth that is this regime is going to great lengths to hide their corruption.

    No, I told you it was political corruption that they were involved with. I would add that if that were the case and there were large sums of money involved I would think Obama would have been involved as well. I'm sure there will be investigations when the House changes leadership and they will define specific crimes involved.
    We aren't even having the same conversation.

    I can tell.

    He was the President, and the policies were his. Joe was an errand boy.

    Telling me there is political corruption without stating what the corruption is means nothing.
    As of now, the complaint is, Hunter got a job because of who his dad is.

    Again, stop deflecting and spill the crime that was committed.

    I asked this earlier as one gave some data about things that happened in 2017, the year trump took the WH and appointed DoJ personnel, why didn't they investigate?
    Or did they, and it fizzled into nothingburger?

    Trumps kids engage in international business. The exchange of goods and services. Hunter engages in government corruption.

    You have said political corruption.
    As far as I can tell, the corruption is Hunter got a job because of his dad.

    I don't see that as corruption, I think it's a bad way to hire people for they may not be qualified. But I don't think there's anything illegal about it.

    For Hunter its failing to register as a foreign agent and failing to report gifts to Joe. According to Hunter he gives half his income to Joe so Joe is guilty as vice President of accepting a bribe.

    Getting a job isnt the crime. Getting a job to lobby the US government without registering as a foreign agent is the crime

    duh, let Trump weaken them as much as possible, then attack, he knew Biden would help them again, Trump is thin-skinned and he knew he would blame Ukraine for his getting caught, and of course be petty and try to hurt them, probably even blabbed to Putin that is what he was doing
