When you get to make the rules, they always favor you. Parents can do things they forbid their kids from doing, bosses can take long lunches while insisting you not return late, and politicians can take pay-offs while…actually, there isn’t much of a private sector equivalent for that one. The word “bribe” has an obvious, legal meaning that, through a few tricks built into the system by the politicians who wrote the laws, helps them avoid breaking them while taking what amounts to bribes.

It is about blackmail and being beholden to enemies of freedom-(we are building military forces along the xyz- and you won’t say a word-as an example)
Joe should have security clearances yanked- same with any of the Biden,Clinton,Pelosi, Kerry Cabal..
Period
You and I doing this type of business would be sending postcards home from the penitentiary.

The only recourse is in the highest court of the land - the people. If they turn their backs there is no option left. All these corrupt polls know it only too well.

Ok. So Bite Me might have been smart enough to cover his tracks and make sure there is no written record of his business dealings with China, Russia, or Ukraine. Perhaps Bobulinski or Archer know something or have access to key documents that prove payments were directed to Bite Me and/or that Bite Me was calling the shots for Hunter to follow. There must be something on the hard drive that ties this to Bite Me? Whether there is proof Bite Me took bribes or authorized laundering the payoffs through Hunter or not the only issue. The point is we now know that Bite Me sold out America for his self-enrichment. But, have the low fos who rely on the msm come to the same realization? I rather doubt it.

The author has no knowledge of what went on . He just reads whatever is in the news. It is illegal for a VP to go and interfere in another country’s legal system to benefit a member of his family. They impeached Trump for a phone call !!! We have a tape with Biden’s confession of what he did.
They will investigate . Then you will know if it was legal.

Disagree. Selling influence from the office of Vice President is illegal. Using his son as a cut-out doesn't make it legal.

Giuliani made the point that Biden is a security risk. Like the Clintons he may have skirted illegalities but that doesn't mean they're not all corrupt.

I've said elsewhere - if you or I fly commercial to/from China and met with top-level CCP members they would meet you upon your stateside return with a SWAT team and an army of DHS/CIA types.
The Bidens can take Air Force Two and nothing happens.

You may be right. But only half right. Maybe I have grown too cynical, but I’m fairly certain it would only be declared legal because a democrat did it. I can say, however, with a high degree of certainty that if a Republican, or more precisely a Trump, did it this would be highly illegal and would immediately result in criminal charges. You have missed this crucial part of your analysis. In politics, illegality is always about your point of view. What party you subscribe to determines your legality or illegality.

This is why we need term limits for Senator and the House of Representatives. They are entrenched in self serving swamp dealings that result in the American public getting fleeced to line the pockets of the privileged.

Legal and Ethical are not on the same page of the dictionary. Joe's entire family is scum and that includes the adulteress that he married.

And this is how it works. Don't think the Republicans are any different. The game is played everywhere on Capitol Hill and around Metro DC. The trick is to not touch it directly. Then there's no crime...although certainly there is corruption. There are lots of longtime politicians who got rich in public service...from IPOs to "employment" of family, book deals, even television program production...ad nauseum.
Term limits already exist...they're called elections. in the words of Mencken, "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." Elect and re-elect these crooks for 47 years and that's exactly what's happening, democracy at work.

Legal? Were taxes paid on Biden's cut? Were banking laws obeyed in the transfer of the money? Did Hunter obey FARA laws? No, I doubt that this business was "largely legal".

It’s only “legal” when the DC “insider” and “UniParty” politicians perpetrate such corruption, if it were one of the “outsider” President Trump’s sons taking part in those foreign corrupt deals it would immediately be termed by the DC establishment as being “illegal”. Clever and rich foreigners do not hand over many millions of dollars to the sons of DC “insider” politicians without knowing that they are going to get something of value from the US Government in return.
Trump recognized that all along, and is why Trump banned the Trump Organization from entering into foreign deals for as long as he is President. That Trump policy has no doubt cost the Trump family and the Trump Organization tens of millions of dollars. It has also left Biden and the Democrats without any Trump foreign deals to exploit for political purposes, only able to bring up an old Trump business bank account in China that was closed when Trump Organization business wound down in China, that the Democrats mischaracterize as being “secret” along with the business related profits that the Trump Organization made, along with taxes paid in China, resulting from legitimate business activities in China before Trump was elected President. That's a lot different that an elected Vice-President using his political influence and power to enrich his family by way of foreign corrupt business activities and “secret” concessions by the US Government..

It may be legal, but its wrong and we all know it. If it didnt stink to high heaven, politicians wouldnt go out of their way to hide what they are doing. Politicians of all parties do this. Just not on the scale of the Clintons and Bidens.
