That is the leader I want. The only thing on this list that is in need of "restoration" is privacy, which the American public willingly gives away on SM. Sorry, but people spilling their own guts about their lives for billions to see isn't the government's problem. It's the idiots doing it.

How many of us horrible libs on this board have had a problem with the investigation being carried out? We may question the veracity of it, but I don't recall anyone saying it should just be shut down. How many have also said that if you can prove in court, or Congress, that Joe was involved in receiving kickbacks for influence peddling, that we had a problem with holding him accountable? I agree with @RLLDon most of his points, although I'm not as convinced Joe is crooked as he is. If you can prove it, impeach and remove him. We'll support it. This is not hard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dizkneelande 839 Posted December 6, 2023 https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-releases-evidence-of-direct-payment-to-joe-biden/ “On Friday, James Comer, the chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, announced that bank records, provided in response to subpoenas the committee issued last month, revealed Jim Biden wrote a $200,000 check to his brother, now-President Joe Biden, on March 1, 2018 — the same day the failed Americore wired $200,000 to Jim and his wife Sara’s personal bank account. “ “[Biden told me] there’s not a single door in the country that we can’t open. So if I wanted to meet, you know, the head of Google, it’s a phone call,” White claimed. “He always represented himself as the fundraiser for his brother’s campaigns… he was the guy raising the money and so he knew everybody.” Joe Biden financially benefited from his brother Jim’s trading on the family name, to the detriment of Americore and its creditors.

It is certainly suspicious, and worthy of investigating. But lets not pretend we know what transpired here. Its easy to assume based on the setup and how it mirrors a criminal enterprise. The sums are compelling as well. BUT.....can they show a correlation between money and some action? That is not going to be easy.
