Okay. If this was an example of influence peddling, let's pursue it. Let's also investigate the billions of dollars the Saudis invested into Kushner while he was operating from the White House.
I’m not in favor of investigating things frivolously when there is no reason to think there’s any wrongdoing.
Apparently Congress is tho.
Only while Republicans hold the majority.
and only when the target is a democrat
Hey that reminds me, did they ever figure out how many babies Hillary Clinton ate in Benghazi?
Bet it's on Hunter Bidens lappytahp
The Laptop thats in the child sex dungeon of a pizza place?
I get that. This is another nothingburger from Republicans to create the illusion that they've found criminal activity on the part of the President. They're very conspicuously not mentioning how this took place in 2018 while Biden was a private citizen and hadn't announced his candidacy for President.
But if they really want to follow evidence of clear influence peddling with breathtaking bribes, they could look closer at Jared and Ivanka during their tenure in the White House.
This is another nothingburger from Republicans to create the illusion that all political investigations are nothing burgers. The hope is the next time a Republican in being charged for actual crimes people will dismiss it as nothing more than the Joe Biden investigation. 'It's just what political parties do'.
