Now Joe Biden's Brother James Biden Is Being Investigated by the Feds for Involvement in Bankrupting Hospital

Also: The FBI put the Hunter Biden investigation on pause for the election.

Note that they were full steam ahead with spying on Trump in 2016.

Fuck these animals.

Joe Biden's younger brother James is investigated by Feds over his role in Pennsylvania hospital business - day after revelation that Hunter is also being probed over his tax affairs

James Biden, the older of Joe Biden's two younger brothers is caught up in an FBI probe into a bankrupt hospital chain

FBI has asked about his role in Americore, which ran rural hospitals but whose CEO is accused of siphoning off cash for personal gain

James Biden was involved in it since 2017 and been named as its 'principal' although he has disputed that and others said he was an investor

Revelation came after Hunter Biden put out a statement Wednesday saying his taxes are being investigated by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware

Probe is into his lucrative Chinese business dealings and was prompted by Treasury 'suspicious activity reports' which flag possible money laundering

Hunter probe was put on hold before election under principle called 'rule of forbearance' not to actively investigate candidates or those close to them

Republican senator Tom Cotton called revelation of investigation 'family corruption' and demands a special counsel investigation


...

Now the election is over, prosecutors in Delaware, the IRS Criminal Investigation agency and the FBI, have stepped up their probe by issuing subpoenas and seeking interviews.

The decision for investigators and prosecutors not to move on Hunter, and possibly on James too, before the election appears to have been made because of the Justice Department's convention known as 'the rule of forbearance.'

Although it is not codified in law or formal guidance to U.S. Attorneys, Barr re-iterated the principle in April, telling conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt: 'The idea is you don't go after candidates.

'You don't indict candidates or perhaps someone that's sufficiently close to a candidate, that it's essentially the same, you know, within a certain number of days before an election.'

Meanwhile:

@johnrobertsFox

Posing this question: If @Twitter and @Facebook censor a news story that ultimately turns out to be true, what does that say about the role of big tech in our democracy?

Which of these is most likely to be true?

1, even this stupid cvck gets it.

2, this stupid cvck does not in fact get it, but Fox is losing viewers and they have issued the command to their "journalists" to put The Masks back on, to trick the rubes into thinking Fox is any different than CNN.

58 Here's an idea.

How about we have something called, I dunno, a "department of justice" or something, and *it* investigates and prosecutes crimes.

No more "special counsel" nonsense.

Other than conventional individual recusal for the normal reasons, for individual staff, no more of this out-sourcing.

Oh, afraid they won't do their job?

Easy. Set up a very small parallel, permanent outfit, with entirely separate chain of command and career path, to oversee any investigations you don't trust. Sort of a super IG, but with operational oversight authority, teeth.

Budget to come out of DOJ's, no overall increase.

85 I'm way beyond predicting what will happen - honestly don't feel great - but I have this fantasy that the SC directly decides this case. Throws the illegal votes out and hands the election to Trump - except in this fantasy they all cast their votes one by one.

The Justices make their decisions in declining order of seniority, live on TV. So it's 4-4 because Roberts is a scumbag. The ninth and deciding vote is not cast until they pan to a gigantic black and white picture of RBG. Then you hear the light riffing of some drums. Soon the familiar guitar kicks in.

It's Hot For Teacher. Amy Coney Barrett busts through the picture in living color, dressed in a red bikini, dancing like the girl in the video, with MAGA written on her body in bright red lipstick and confetti flying around.

She casts in favor of PDJT and keeps dancing while 75 million legitimate voters rejoice. I'm just spitballing.

How convenient.

Meanwhile, even before Trump's inauguration, there were the rumors that the Russians were infiltrating his administration, and instead of giving Trump a heads up, they SET UP Trump's people and attempted to set up his son.

Let me give you a hint...... You're gonna suck on it while he takes the Country and (hopefuly) the dimocrap scum party down with him.

If a sitting president doesn't want to step aside, you can't make him. Impeachment aside, you just simply can't.

I predict we're stuck with Joe until at least 2023, at which time there might be enough Republicans in Congress to Impeach him. Hopefully (don't count on it)

Even then, I don't think so. If he don't wanna go, nothing on this Earth can make him besides an impeachment. And I don't think scum of the Earth dimocrap filth will join in an impeachment.

Honestly, I've been casting around for years for a way to describe the dynamic between Dems & the GOP for years. A lot of people default to "Kabuki theater" or "pro-wrestling" or "the Harlem Globetrotters," and all those are pretty good. But not quite right.

Then, a couple months ago, it hit me - they're most like "the Commission." People who recognize that the others are too powerful to simply dismiss or kill, so they join forces.

And the Commission managed to run shit for half a century. The guy at the head of the table might change, but the interests sitting around it never did. And even the individuals didn't, except when extenuating circumstances or the march of time demanded it.

The people who served each of those bosses believed that their family meant something; they'd steal and die for it, after all.

But the only family that mattered sat around that table at the big meetings in NY and Vegas and Miami and Chicago and pushed them all around like pieces on a board, for the benefit of "their thing."

174 Would it not be truly delicious, as in liberal-tears sprinkled on salted flaming pineapple delicious, if a number of legislatures or the US Senate/House refused to seat electors because of this?

I'm just spitballing here, but I could see the PA & GA legislatures using these as CYA when the Supreme Court kicks the cases back to the 4 states which is what I expect as a most likely we-win scenario. Best case in the realm of possibility IMO is the USSC throws their electors out and punts to the House/Senate.

Related manic-thought, odds that Joe Biden is persuaded to "withdraw" before the US Congress votes in January to accept electors?

And am I the only one that had to go punch inanimate things after watching the video of the Chinese professor laying out how they've been buying US politicians for 40 years? For those that haven't seen it, here's a longer version that news.com.au posted yesterday: https://tinyurl.com/y35szef5

I think this is actually the "right" answer to this problem. In these states, Trump probably won - but the overall point is that their elections were so compromised that they can't be fixed. Their elections were irredeemable. If that is the case, then you can make the assumption Trump won (probably safe) or you can say that you don't know and can't find out and so abstain (not send electors).

That is probably the right answer. The contested states should just not send electors at all. Then neither candidate hits the threshold and it goes to House for the decision.

Like I said in the other thread: it sounds like Joe may be fading faster than they'd hoped. If they have to pull the 25th Amendment card too early, it will be obvious that they hid his decline from the public, and that will piss off a number of voters. They need him functional for six to nine months before he suddenly resigns due to health issues. I could see the Hunter stuff as a way of forcing him out before then.

226 So if SCOTUS defends the constitution and the legislatures in those states do the right thing does Joe die the next day? Giving the news stories the chance to talk about how this awful stress and disappoint killed the poor old man rather than covering the facts that show the fraud?

227 In these states, Trump probably won - but the overall point is that
their elections were so compromised that they can't be fixed.
***

Generally the way the courts have handled this sort of case is to say, "ok I see the fraud but we don't *know* which candidates those fake votes were for" which....just rewards fraud.

The most honest answer to this is to straight up subtract every fraudulent vote from every democrat running for office in that locale. I guarantee the next election would have zero fraud. It won't happen but it would immediately fix things.

He blamed Trump for not overcoming the margin of fraud, and is apparently good with the Democrat fraud -- win or lose. He believes "taking turns" helps "keep democracy alive" or something. He's bothered more by the violence before the election than the fraud of the election -- and doesn't seem to comprehend that the former will permanently condone and enshrine the latter.

If it's a GOP associated person that could be investigated, they'll say, "Well, last time people complained when we paused and investigation, so we didn't this time." If it's another DEM, "Well, long-standing precedent (circa 2020) says we don't investigate politically sensitive subjects near an election."

Posted by: vmom Trump Won!



1. Texas has filed a request to be allowed to file a complaint against GA, PA, MI and WI, alleging that Texas's voters have been harmed by those states' illegally changing their voting rules and therefore changing the result of the national vote totals.

2. The Supreme Court is a court of "original" jurisdiction for suits between states, which means TX didn't have to go through a lower federal court to hear these issues.

3. The Supreme Court's official stance is that it doesn't have to hear this case if it doesn't want to. Most states believe that the Supremes DO have to hear these cases.

4. GA, MI, PA and WI have all filed their responses today to TX's request to file a complaint.

5. DC, 21 blue states and territories and the Asshoe Dem AG of NC have filed with the Court asking to be allowed to file "friend of the court" briefs in the case. ("Hey, we agree with PA, MI, GA, and WI against TX!")

6. 17 red states have filed with the Court asking to be allowed to file "friend of the court" briefs. ("Hey, we agree with TX against those Asshoe States [PA, MI, GA and WI!]").

7. Some Republicans in the PA Legislature have also filed to be allowed to support TX.

8. Some Dem legislature folks from MI and GA have filed to be allowed to support the Asshoe States.



As yet, the Supremes have not chosen to hear the case, have not even given permission for TX to file its complaint against the Asshoe States, and hasn't given anyone permission to file their friend of the Court briefs.

It's a good old fashioned Charlie Foxtrot*

Here's the exact quote, tell me if I'm misreading it

Texas's reliance on 3 U.S.C. § 2 fails for similar reasons. That statute provides that, "[w]henever any
State has held an election for the purpose of choosing
electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day
prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a
subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of
such State may direct."

3 U.S.C. §

2. According to Texas, that statute applies not simply when a state "has failed to make a choice" on election day, 3 U.S.C. § 2, but rather "[w]hen a State fails to conduct a valid election for any reason," including because of the kinds of state election law violations alleged in this
case.

469 In an ideal world, the entire election would be cast out based on systemic fraud.

But for the sake of discussion , lets suppose SCOTUS finds that the states that changed their balloting procedures without following their own laws violated the constitutional requirement for those states to ensure their citizens have a republican form of government.

I know, I know, the Roberts court follows the constitution... spare me the peals of laughter...

I suspect that the least confrontational remedy would be that SCOTUS rules those states must have their legislatures assign their electors, rather than just send them as a bloc to the winner of the election.

How would that likely shake out?

That is a stupid argument they are giving. The US Constitution says states must have a free and fair election based on the rules the state legislature passes. If a state, like WI, does not have a free and fair election, as they seem to admit when they admit fraud, then that state has violated the rules set by the state legislature thereby violating the US Constitution.

It's funny because one of the things the PA AG say in its response brief is that of course PA elections have to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the PA constitution.

Except that the 2020 election wasn't. Which is what TX is complaining about. And the PA Supreme Court said, "nah, nah, too bad, you people complaining about the unconstitutional expansion of mail-in voting in PA waited too long to complain about it, so tough titties."

511 Incidentally, one of the sickest burns in all of American history is when Grant and Lee met at Appomattox Courthouse, and they were casually talking. Grant said they had met once before, when Grant would have been a lowly lieutenant, possibly during the Mexican War, and Lee basically said "Oh did we? I don't remember."

Oh snap!

Would these legislatures have the courage to rightfully assign their electors to Trump? They'd need it. If it comes down to that, they will have bullseyes on their backs, as well as that of their families. It will be non-stop terrorist threats directed at them. These people mean business, and they aren't going to let go of their fraudulent "win" for anything. There's too much at stake.

Then it seems like it would be a proper course of action for SCOTUS to demand redress on the part of the citizens of the state, or even other states if they are affected, if a particular state is not allowing a republican form of government through the allowance of fraud that undermines their own laws on elections.

If California wants to award its electors always to Democrats, then they need to pass that through the legislature, but until they change the laws that say that electors are awarded by popular vote, they can't just do that. But, of course, it extends beyond that elector element.

If the state is allowing and encouraging fraud in elections, then their own state governments cease to be republican, and SCOTUS should step in to make remedy.

I really wish Trump would pound on this point. The Constitution REQUIRES us to have a republican form of government, not a dictatorship of one party rule.

This is why TX et. al. introduced 14-1 to the argument. Due process, equal protection and the preservation of privileges are directly impacted by state sanctioned vote fraud, and this is alleged in the suit.

And no, the Democrats do not own Congress. If they have to vote it will be by delegation, which was pwned by the Republicans before the election and is absolutely pwned by them now.

580 The Republican form of government clause applies to
the federal government, not the states (it benefits the states,
theoretically, but they are not the ones bound by it - a state can be a
fcuked-up syndicracy like CA. It has never been litigated and, IIRC,
SCOTUS has said it's non-justiciable.


Posted by: SFGoth at December 10, 2020 03:44 PM (KAi1n)

The Guarantee Clause in Article IV says the federal government must ensure that states have a republican form of government. Luther v Bordon (1849) notwithstanding, it is justiciable if the Supreme Court says it is. In fact, Baker v Carr (1962 I believe) partially limited that non-justiciabity when SCOTUS ruled that lack of redistricting in a state violated the Guarantee Clause.

581 I always understood that the Electoral College was created to prevent this exact situation, i.e. one in which the winning candidate was a fraud from the word go. Biden was hidden in a basement while his campaign denied every single one of his previously stated policy positions.

Now that he has "won" he is back to those very same positions they denied. Even promising to bypass Congress to get them done.

If SCOTUS doesn't invalidate his election a shooting war is inevitable. Biden has promised to abolish (for all intents and purposes) the 2nd Amendment. He has promised to force everyone he can into wearing face panties for his first 100 days. He has promised to allow unlimited immigration and amnesty for all the illegals here.

So either we win here or it has to be game on. Or lose our nation forever.

Another one is the "You don't have standing" to bring a lawsuit. As Lin Wood said after some judged dismissed his lawsuit for lack of "standing", "I'm a resident and legal voter of the State Of Georgia, what do they mean I don't have standing, every Georgia voter has standing."

He wouldn't build anything that would work, but what they're afraid of is that the system he would build wouldn't have hereditary privilege for them and theirs.

If there is a corrupt executive branch down to the voting precinct level, and corrupt local and state judges who bless that corruption, then if SCOTUS can give the State's citizens no redress of grievance, the only remaining option is intra-state Civil War.

Johnston was quite old by then, but had otherwise been in adequate health. He developed pneumonia after the cold day of serving in that role though, and died not long thereafter.

When asked at the time why he would serve as a pallbearer for his former foe, and remember, Sherman was about as hated as anyone could be in the South, Johnston's reply was essentially "He would have done the same for me."

It depends. If PA doesn't send electors then the number needed drops from 270 to 260.

The winner is decided by whoever has the majority of the votes cast, if a state doesn't send electors then they aren't sending votes to be cast. This was seen in the election of 1864.

Once their cast, someone has to win the majority or it goes to the US House to vote.

Not even remotely relevant.

If SCOTUS rules against the defendants, I am doubtful they will do so in a way that prevents the impacted State Houses from choosing electors. In no case will those electors be acceptable to everyone.

Ultimately, regardless who goes to DC with the plurality, when the vote goes to the US House it will be bare knuckles and blade weapons before a final winner is picked. In any case, the left will resort to vileness never before seen and turned up to 11 if the republicans flex their superior political muscle to force the issue.

Based on the level of bellicosity openly spewing from the left, and the level of aggrieved status being expressed on the right, the pregame show for CW2 will start shortly thereafter.

As with everything, it's all in how you define your terms.

What do you mean by "take the case."

It is docketed. They have to take it and decide if it has standing to be heard. States can sue each other for anything and it has to be resolved by SCOTUS but 99.999% of them are never considered by SCOTUS for more than a microsecond because they see immediately that it's a lawsuit with no constitutional merit.

So we're all just waiting to see if the court will say "nah, Texas has no right to sue here." or if they'll say "okay, let's have a hearing and talk this out."

If it's the former, ammo up.
If it's the latter, we move on to the next argument.

Do you see the Blue parts of New York State attacking the red parts of New York State or other red states? PA? Look at a map. Everywhere the Dems are surrounded by patriotic 2nd amendment enthusiasts.

This is just my prediction. What thinkest thou?

Not even remotely relevant.



If SCOTUS rules against the defendants, I am doubtful they will do
so in a way that prevents the impacted State Houses from choosing
electors. In no case will those electors be acceptable to everyone.



Ultimately, regardless who goes to DC with the plurality, when the
vote goes to the US House it will be bare knuckles and blade weapons
before a final winner is picked. In any case, the left will resort to
vileness never before seen and turned up to 11 if the republicans flex
their superior political muscle to force the issue.



Based on the level of bellicosity openly spewing from the left, and
the level of aggrieved status being expressed on the right, the pregame
show for CW2 will start shortly thereafter.



The only thing in doubt is who's the home team and who has to worry about getting droned.

For each point they attack Texas, they cleverly and subtlely mis-state what Texas argued then they attack that while saying a whole different set of laws apply.

But, this is key: They are absolutely terrified the SCOTUS will grant TX standing-- That's where they really pound the table and yell

Because granting TX standing doesn't just return this election-- it makes a whole shitload of election fraud they were able to hide behind home-court judges federal issues.

The only realistic way to repeal it would be via an Article V
convention. An amendment could be passed dissolving the Constitution,
and at that point, the states have no more legal connection or
obligation to each other, save that which they might see fit to erect
afterwards.

They want that to avoid truths not told to the people. The 5 will allow arguments, thus Manhattan Media and the California Inquisition will not be able to embargo the news.

Well, no. When it comes to legal arguments, you need to understand the other side's argument in order to address it persuasively. Purposely misreading opposing counsel's arguments in a way that suits you is something that some lawyers do. But they are bad lawyers who generally sabotage their own efforts, because all but dullards understand when you are mischaracterizing the other side's position.

Posted by: Puddin Head at December 10, 2020 04:28 PM (T1Dne)

736 Lets talk about Ware county GA. The story I read was from the 3rd party candidate (The Constitution party). The county officials already knew something was wrong, because a hand count of the ballots did not jibe with the machine count. When they ran 100 Trump Ballots and 100 Biden ballots through the tabulator, the machine's result was 87 Trump votes and 113 Biden votes. They did it again, same result. This was clearly a weighted tabulation. The Constitution party candidate was supposed to testify about that, but he got moved to the end of the witness list and was never called to testify.
So why hasn't this been all over the right wing media? Answer: both the Democrats and the Republicans know that all the tabulators, nationwide, regardless of brand, have the weighted voting feature, and neither party objects to it, because they like the fact that it allows them to rig elections. Remember, if voting really mattered, you'd never be allowed to do it.
The time to invoke Rule .308 fast approaches.
