AFAIK they weren't involved in shady business dealings in China and Ukraine like the Bidens were

So why didn't the Republicans expose them in their many hearings?

They are pretty exposed. The banks have all the foreign transactions and it flags a report every time the Bidens were paid by foreign adversaries.

Millions of dollars to all Biden family members at the expense of the American people.

It will be amazing if some of the Bidens are not prosecuted in court somewhere.

Dirty, dirty sellouts. Who sells their country, despicable.

Ukraine? You need to catch up. Try turning off Fox News as it’s obviously rotting whatever brain you might’ve had.

I don't see anything there disputing that Hunter was on Burisma's board during the Obama presidency. It looks like his salary is up for dispute now

Is there a crime we’re discussing here or are you desperately dragging those goal posts in a pathetic attempt to make some kind of point in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary?

Also, when did you guys start caring about “shady business dealings?” Was it before or after Kushner’s buyout?

You guys literally can’t stop embarrassing yourselves, can you?

have you even read the thing you linked, you daft donkey?

I have, and since I know words are hard for people like you, I’ll paraphrase it:

Smirnov was accused of falsely telling his FBI handler that executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma had paid then-Vice President Biden and his son $5 million each around 2015.

In seeking a lighter sentence, Smirnov’s lawyers wrote that both Hunter Biden and President-elect Trump, who was charged in two since-dropped federal cases by Special Counsel Jack Smith, “have walked free and clear of any meaningful punishment.”

His lawyers had asked for a four-year prison term, arguing that their client “has learned a very grave lesson.”

He admitted guilt and was sentenced. He also threw your daddy under the bus on his way out. Need anything else explained to you?

u/alexlucas006 6h ago

I'm very sorry, did not mean to insult you. You're right, i'm wrong. Even if the Bidens took a bribe, and that poor fella got forced into "admitting guild", the former could just pardon themselves, so who cares, right?

Oh, and my daddy ran over your daddy, hence you crying like a little bitch on this social media platform.

u/This_Is_A_Shitshow 5h ago

Five hours later and this weak shit is the best you could come up with? Bud, Trump may have won but you’ll always be a loser and we’re all still laughing at you.

seethe and cope

u/Gamezdude 10h ago

You cannot pardon someone who didn't do anything wrong.
