I told you so.
I get called a partisan hack in the echo chamber all the time. Yet, the mud slingers are the one who just can't take the idea of investigating their golden cow or his family.
You are one of the more reasonable left of center posters on this board, so let's stop with the "woe is me" shtick. It's not like you're Huck or LIQR, deranged by all things Trump.
But I do think your post is severely lacking in perspective. Let's be clear - we have a Republican admin that has been under "investigation" since before the man took office. And even though that first multi-year investigation turned up diddly squat, the man is STILL under investigation, by the State of New York, the New York DA, the State of Georgia, the DOJ and Congress. So when you suggest there should be yet another investigation of the Trump admin in the interest of "fairness" when the media and your fellow Democrats buried the Hunter Biden story in an effort to get Biden elected, you probably need to keep that in perspective before labeling conservatives hypocrites for not being gung ho about yet another investigation when Hunter Biden (and his dad) continue to skate.
I have been pretty clear-Hunter Biden should be investigated (and I believe he is being investigated). But to the extent his activities were buried, I am just as offended by that.
As to the continuing and continual investigations of Trump and his family, there are two ways to look at it. One, there are continuing and continual reasons to investigate them and him, because they are uniquely corrupt. Two, they are not uniquely corrupt as far as politicians go, but they are uniquely open about there corruptness-they just don't play the game like all the corrupt politicians before them.
Regardless of what went on before, the fact that Trump treated the Saudis wit kid gloves, that Kushner was the architect and instrument of that policy, and that Kushner got a big payday out of it deserves attention.
You should be offended that the social media autocrats and print media failed to perform their jobs by burying a story that any reasonable investigation would have shown had legs. Instead, they dismissed the story outright as false, and banned anyone from discussing it. You should be offended at the amount of tax dollars that went to a Russian collusion investigation that likewise ended up a total fabrication, bought and paid for by the Clintons. You should be offended by the govt. using its power to perform political witch hunts using the full measure of the law. Those things should be offensive to any American, regardless of political beliefs.
I don't have any problem whatsoever with investigating whether Kushner's deals were on the up and up. But some accountability for Democrats (and not just the Bidens, but the Clintons and Kerrys as well) that have been compensated for similar consulting work should also be on the table. When it's one side that has been doing all of the investigating and retribution, and the other side's conduct has been buried, that should be offensive.
As usual, nothing is good enough except a complete capitulation on every point ever. To which, I am guessing the gracious reply would be "I told you so."
It does look like that the MSM blew the Hunter Biden story. Shame on them.
The idea that "Russian collusion" was a total fabrication is not something that I remotely accept. Robert Mueller did a workmanlike job and concluded that he could not prove a crime. It is evident, however, that Trump's campaign coordinated with the Russians and would have been more than happy to "collude" with an adversary if it benefited Trump. He repeated that pattern in Ukraine. He then orchestrated a campaign against our core value that ended in him either instigating or condoning a riot that put the lives of elected leaders at risk and encouraged mob rule. Every dime spent investigating him was appropriate. .
The media didn't "blow it" regarding the laptop story. They intentionally buried it. Frankly, there needs to be an investigation into collusion of the media, big tech, the dnc and the joe biden campaign. The media and big tech did everything they could to influence an election.
Here is the timeline as the WP explains it:
12/09/2019-FBI takes the laptop via subpoena, repair shop owner keeps a copied hard drive.
02/05/2020-Trump impeachment trial concludes; during trial shop owner tries to get congressmen/women to take a look at his copied hard drive, gets no response
08/26/2020-shop owner gets copy of the hard drive to Giuliani
10/12/2020-NY Post begins running stories based on hard drive contents, which Giuliani says he gave to the NY Post.
10/13/2020-WP (and likely every other media outlet in the world) asks New York Post for access to the copied hard drive
06/--/2021- WP gets a copy of the hard drive
03/30/2022-WP confirms authenticity of messages
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-laptop-data-examined/I don't know why the FBI could not have verified the contents in the almost year it had the actual hard drive. Maybe someone should ask Bill Barr and Christopher Wray that. But reminder here-neither Joe Biden nor the DNC had anything to do with the FBI leadership at that point; it was all Trump's show.
I don't know which reps/senators the shop owner contacted, but I would be stunned if there were no GOP folks contacted. If GOP reps/senators were contacted and did not follow-up it is hard to see how the DNC and Joe Biden are "burying things."
It is also hard to see how DNC/Big Media and Biden are responsible for not confirming the New York Post stories in the 2 and a half weeks before the election if they had no access to the source document.
I will say that Twitter treating the story as disinformation strikes me as wrong.
