   I don't post any of this rubbish here and you know that. You know who starts these topics and you know it's not me. I'm not sure why people keep bringing up Trumps taxes and golden showers in this topic. We are discussing a specific subject here - Hunter Biden - and that's what I commented on. If you want to know what people think about Trumps taxes go back to those threads or start a new one. I rarely commented in them. 

 

  I honestly don't care what comes out of Trumps tax issues except to say, as I have in the past, that he will deal with these legal issues after he is no longer president. I know enough of his other legal issues to know he is probably not on the up and up here, and I am fine with letting the courts deal with it, and I won't be following it in the media day to day because I have a life and Trumps BS doesn't fit into that. He does what he does. He will get what he deserves, and he has probably made enough enemies to guarantee that it is coming. When he does go down, it will be a dogpile.

 

  As to hypocrites, those are the people who ask questions and then make up allegations about something people said in the past without offering proof just because they don't like the answer. 

 

 

Nice try, Janitor Boy.  But the burden of proof is on you.

Personally , Hunter Biden used poor judgement and ignored advice that told him to stay away from Burisma. That doesn't make it criminal.

No.  Hunter did what his daddy told him to, because he had no other choice due to his drug conviction.  And "Pops" needed his cut.  We The People understand how tough it is...

  Sad to see you stereotyping other posters like this today. You might want to go easier on the ditches now that you slid back into one.

You were there to observe this I am sure.

Add this to the pile... MSNBC has David Corn (and she+he talks about his work on this subject with Isikoff) on and they come to conclusions based on what Steele passed along.

 

 

 

So.. theory blown apart. Again. You're welcome. 🙂

What theory? 

You quoted twitter:

While Facebook says the New York Post story must be kept out of sight until verified, the standard for the Steele dossier was opposite. In that case, we were told “raw intelligence” should be published so that “Americans can make up their own minds."

 

I restated the timeline of the publishing of the dossier and the controversy about whether it should be published. Fact: the Dossier was published by BuzzFeed, other news organizations were critical of the ethics. The fact that hundreds of people in government and media had seen copies before that point is another topic. The stories about Russian links to the Trump campaign were already in the news with the Manafort stories among others.

Seems you're having a tough time with dates, among other things. This was in September-November 2016. Buzzfeed's story was in January 2017. You said the media passed on it when it was given to them, I just showed you that it wasn't passed at all. Next time pay more attention. You were dead wrong.

      Seriously dude, you need to chill. Also might want to take your own advice.

No I am not struggling at all. If the Steele Dossier was confirming and influencing reporting, so what? Eric Trump's own statements spilled the beans on financial  links to Moscow  years ago, way before Trump running for president.

 

The Dossier was not published to the public before BuzzFeed.

 

I couldn't get the Rachel Maddow link to work and I don't do research by youtube so I have no idea what your reference is.

Oh that's okay, you don't need to research by Youtube, it's Corn on Maddow's show before the election with him and Maddow mentioning a book he and Isikoff are working on together on this very subject (hint, look at the Yahoo article, and the WaPo one that cites it), way before the Buzzfeed article. To keep you on point, you said the media passed on it, I just showed you articles and a media segment (bet there's more) that they didn't. You don't need to admit you were wrong, it's already clear you're wrong.

This is what normal people call "discussion".

I am amazed at how relevant Seinfeld still is.

Hmm, there is another organization that is famous for lower level people needing to kick something upstairs.  From what I heard, it is a very trustworthy organization.

I have never publicly cried out for another individual's tax returns the way that you do.  But it tells the REAL story that while you want to see Trump's revealed to the entire world,  you are not willing to share yours with a few people here in CEHST.

Rude?  No. Blunt?  Yes.  The opposite treatment (vis a vis putting out repeated false statements on twitter, farcebook, and most of the MSM) happened during the false Russian collusion incident, the fake impeachment, etc.  Even if you were far-left biased (I know you are not), you should be able to see the hypocrisy.

 

It IS good that you are willing to maintain an open mind.  This should be done by everyone in every public scandal, crime committed, etc.

No she had it right, you were rude.
