Rub is, you don’t know what this thing is! The was Archer makes it sound is Joe called - and they talk everyday - and he put him on speaker while they did their normal chitchat and or said a quick howdy. Wow.
I agree with @jdsmith , put up or shut up (actually, I don’t even care if nobody shuts up. I’m just bummed so many people believe there’s a smoking gun based on the rhetoric, when there’s been insinuations and promises of bombshells.that hasn’t materialized.). Nobody’s put up anything good.
With the guys in business. Like all of them. This isn’t business like a Taiwanese factory boss taking a client out to Beitou for a soak and poke.
This is show our business partners a good time. No one needs a smoking gun here. Dunno why your standard is so high. You want Joe in dark glasses and trench coat or something?
I don’t think asking for a business connection beyond Joe called him at dinner 20 times over 8 years while he was at business dinners and said howdy to the crowd, of he was at dinner with hunter and his business partner is a high standard.
My wife goes out with me to business dinners, but no one in their right mind would.say that implies a business connection between her and whoever I’m out with. But Joe going with Hunter and his partner, OMG!!! SHOW ME SOMETHING!
There’s no hiding the laptop this time around. If Joe’s defense is that he knew nothing and never asked, then he was purposefully neglectful. There’s no way he worms out of this, and on a personal note, I hope his legacy withers on the vine. I mean, I’ll wait for the evidence and the impeachment which I think is coming, and I won’t whine much about it if he isn’t, but I think OJ did it. No doubt.
You know US politics is fucked up when impeachments are used as a means to eliminate political rivals.
Before Nixon impeachments almost never happened, in fact presidents were respected. Go look for pictures of FDR in wheel chairs if you want to know what I’m talking about. There are not many, because they respected him a LOT.
Nixon poisoned it and now there’s a lot of adversarial relationship between the office of the president, the media, and political parties. Perhaps this is all an act.
Now it seems impeachment is tossed around like it’s nothing. This tells me one thing: nothing’s getting done at all. They’re passing laws just to spite some president, and it’s the American people that’s suffering, perhaps the whole world too.
I haven’t seen any evidence of influence peddling yet either. So far it appears that the only thing the “Biden brand” did was to bilk foreigners out of millions of dollars by pretending to influence peddle.
