In its third report, House GOP Oversight panel claims evidence Joe Biden benefitted from son Hunter business dealings. White House says it shows no such thing

The committee, led by Chairman James Comer, said in the report that it plans to continue to investigate Biden to find evidence of corruption, even as it acknowledged that it had no evidence that he financially benefited from the myriad foreign business dealings of his son Hunter.

    The GQP held many, many hearings on Hillary Clinton’s supposed crimes, released multiple reports with no evidence, and you’ll notice Hillary Clinton isn’t President. Why would they change when it worked?

      This ignores the fact that Hillary is deeply unlikeable and thus unelectable. imho you’re giving repug disinformation too much credit here.

        Why exactly do so many people find her unlikeable?

        I’ll give you a hint, it rhymes with “Depublucan propaganda”

          Exactly. I remember in the 2008 primaries I was talking to someone about how Obama was a better pick than Clinton because she just felt unlikeable. I did some self reflection at the time and realized that’s because Republicans had been running a constant smear campaign against her since the early 90s. It’s crazy how effective that long term propaganda is. It leaves people with a generally bad feeling about someone, even if they can’t quite articulate why.

            I mean I let her actions speak for themselves like when she said no one should be too big to fail yet her top campaign donations where from a bunch of banks that were bailed out in 2008. Plus her marriage to Bill. That’s already 2 strikes against her judgement.

          Unaffiliated Voter here that leans left and used to sometimes vote Republican until Trump. I’ll never even consider doing so again until the R Platform clearly acknowledges the J6 Coup Attempt and holds it’s own members that were complicit accountable.

          Having said that, to hell with Hillary. Wasn’t one of her slogans ‘It’s Her Turn!’ or something? Sorry, no. I am against any political dynasties, be they Clinton, Bush, Kennedy, or any of the others. She is the epitome of a cringe politician.

          I disagree, she just doesn’t have good charisma or stage presence. Remember the balloon drop? I mean come on bro, she was passing for reptilian in that moment.

          Have you actually listened to her?

          This quote:

          “It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, it may take another Clinton to clean up after the second one”.

          Ah yes, Bill Clinton who - checks notes - signed a bill putting another 100k cops on the street and introduced corporation friendly trade agreements that hurt workers (NAFTA) for starters. He was the worst kind of democrat, one that does what the Republicans want to do but act like it’s some sort of progressive act and she’s the exact same.

          As Sec of State, she put ridiculous sanctions on Iran, she was the driving force behind completely fucking destroying Libya and in general, she’s a war hawk who will invade any country it takes to uphold the status quo regardless of the impact to the people. You can argue that is practically any politician in the system (and you’d be right) but she has a proven track record of it.

            So you hate Bernie too who backed up her superpredator comment in his speech directly following hers?

            Because everyone knew and agreed at the time, including the black community itself, that the gang problem killing people was a major issue. Since it was the black community pushing the government to do something about it.

            But, hey, that’s context and nuance of something 30 years ago. And you’d rather have your little soundbites and purposefully misleading claims because you’d rather be right than be truthful.
