Now That the Democrat Media Regime Has Successfully Executed Another Coup Against a Sitting President, the NYT Can Report: Hunter Did Peddle Influence for Overseas Patrons, and the WH Covered It Up

You don't say you don't say you don't say.

This is as shocking as finding out, three years later, that Hunter Biden's laptop belonged to Hunter Biden and not Macedonian Content Farmers.

Ed Morrissey, with quotes from a very, very late report from Ken Vogel of the NYT:

Just four short years ago, we were all assured by the Protection Racket Media that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, and that allegations of influence-peddling by the Bidens were just political dirty tricks, right? Right? Wrong. The New York Times' Ken Vogel reports that Hunter's efforts to sell influence within the administration were well known during Joe Biden's term as Vice President. It's even about Burisma, the company that we were told paid Hunter a lot of money for his energy-industry expertise.
Advertisement
Oh, and the records of it got "withheld" by the Biden administration for "years," too:

Hunter Biden sought assistance from the U.S. government for a potentially lucrative energy project in Italy while his father was vice president, according to newly released records and interviews.
The records, which the Biden administration had withheld for years, indicate that Hunter Biden wrote at least one letter to the U.S. ambassador to Italy in 2016 seeking assistance for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, where he was a board member.
Well, we did have records in October 2020. Hunter Biden kept records of these dealings on his laptop, which he abandoned in a repair shop. When the New York Post reported on the contents of the laptop, including a number of emails that made clear he leveraged his fathers office to sell influence at Burisma and elsewhere, the media ignored it -- even though one of Hunter's partners (Tony Bobulinski) publicly authenticated the messages when asked.
Nearly four years later, the NYT gets around to the truth. And if you're questioning the timing, you have good company, because Vogel appears to be somewhat curious about it as well:

The department's release of documents to The New York Times came shortly after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race, and as his son prepares to stand trial next month on charges of evading taxes on millions of dollars in income from Burisma and other foreign businesses.
Go figure again! It's as if the cover-up extended as long as Joe Biden had electoral interests to protect. Now that Biden has pulled out of the race, there's no need to keep covering up for Biden Inc....

Hunter Biden has not been charged with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, which requires people to disclose when they lobby the U.S. government on behalf of foreign interests.
In a court filing last week, in what was perceived as a pressure move, prosecutors indicated that they did not intend to add a FARA charge, but noted that they had evidence that Mr. Biden had reached out to the State Department on behalf of a different foreign client, a real estate magnate facing corruption charges in Romania. Mr. Biden did not register under FARA as a lobbyist for the Romanian developer or Burisma.

How many years has "the press" denied this, and claimed that anyone reporting on it was "spreading disinformation" and should be deplatformed, demonitized, de-amplified and simply censored?

I keep thinking the same thing: The Democrat Media Regime has for years attempted to destroy all of their competition -- their business competition and their ideological/political competition -- by branding any competitor to be peddling "disinformation" and using the weaponized power of the state to squelch them.

It's time to begin deploying these same weapons against the Lying Press. They will squeal, but their objections are hollow: they have eagerly cheered on the use of these tools against their enemies. We should not be shy or squeamish about returning the favor.

Below, a Washington Post activist with a press pass urges the Biden White House to shut down the then-upcoming conversation between Trump and Elon Musk.

Why should we allow their speech, if they are absolutely determined to end ours?

Sounds great! Ummm . . . exactly what weapons are we gonna deploy? They can do this to us because they control 99% of information flow. Our 1% control doesn't amount to diddly squat.

I've been suggesting one weapon: lawfare. But it's slow, costly, and requires avoiding Hawaiian judges. it can be effective, though.

I take solace in the fact that the more these limp shitcocks squeal and screech, the more attention they call to what they are trying to suppress. Trump's X talk with Musk probably picked up millions of listeners because of impotent efforts to cancel it.

Obama knew.

He has his own little deals going though, so he really couldn't say anything.
Obama's biggest deal was Net Neutrality.
Netflix would've been hit hard had AT&T & Sprint & Verizon been able to charge Netflix extra for all the traffic they added to the net.
So Obama pushed hard for Net Neutrality.

He got what amount in 2017?
A $billion or two from Netflix?

And Netflix got an eventual Oscar-winning documentary that the Obama's bought from the filmmaker at a Sundance Film Festival, a series from Obama about National Parks around the world, and... anything else?

Too many quid pro quos around for O to do anything but look the other way.

The risk for the Dems is if they press him too hard, Biden pulls the plug and pardons himself and his brood which will tank the Dems in November.

Par for the course in Portland, but the Anifaette made the mistake of doing this in a relatively conservative suburban county, and they are throwing the book at her. She's put the trial off for three years.

Her lawyer argued that 1) the Anifaette is a "journalist", and you are violating her First Amendment rights by prosecuting her; and 2) after January 6th, it's perfectly OK to assault conservatives - Antifa is performing a necessary police function here.

Even more bizarrely, the lawyer put the Anifaette on the stand, which allowed the prosecution to bring up the Antifaette's extensive Antifa-related criminal history.

All it takes is delay by the GOP at this point into hearings. That sort of failure theatre is easily done. Part of the issue with the replacement theory is that Congress recesses for the election sometime in September and won't reconvene (if it does due to budget bills) until after the election. Very few legislative days left in this Congress.

No Congress in session, no filling the VP slot unless Kamala called a special session of Congress as prezzie. That just might blow up in her face.

It's amazing how the press only scrutinizes the proof of some people. Schitf can come out and lie about House findings and they take him at his word. Mueller found bupkis to tie any American to whatever smidgen of an "attack" Russia tried on our election, let alone Trump. Proving there was never any proof.

But they ran those stories daily. Over and over again without proof!.

But when Trump has an opinion--"Without proof" in a voice that almost sounds like "he lied".

Did they ask Pelosi for proof that all the kids in MS-13 have a "divine spark"?

That is why a collapse is inevitable and perhaps it will be bloody if the so called elites do not step down from power throughout the West. They show no sign of doing so but are simply doubling down on everything that makes decent people loathe those in power.

A lotta folks believe in the one weird trick schtick. Jimmah's death won't sway anyone other than Dems that are voting for the Cackler anyway. Even Biden's death is pretty much baked into the cake for a lot of people after seeing that June debate performance. Old people die and the pity factor is minimal in that case. Assasinations, untimely deaths, etc. can sway the population a bit like Carnahan's death in MO. But it was more that Ashcroft was unpopular as an incumbent than Carnahan dying that made that a safe play for Dems.

Carter is old, mostly forgotten, and Democrats are not known for their decorum at politician funerals (Lee's in Houston was an example).

Remember how moved GOP folks here were when GHWB shuffled off the mortal coil. Yeah, me too.

Most of their hit shit has been a dud. The major Dem not so surprised play in September is the criminal sentencing in NY State.

Simply put, Trump is a known candidate and has suffered probably most poo flinging by the Dems for four straight years. That sort of 'hit' doesn't work when half the audience is predisposed to hate on the Dems for it and the other half believes Orangeman bad eats children for breakfast.

There is also a class bias to that sort of hit. Most working class voters are cause and effect transactional voters which is what sank GOP attempts to remove Bill Clinton.

McCarthy was and is a joke that plays a legal analyst on TV based on one case against the Blind Sheikh so long ago. Murdochs also hate Trump and hate him more for selecting Vance (they wanted Nikki, Scott, or some other globo homo apparently).

The question is not so much what Merchan tries to do but what are the appellate courts ready to do to bitch slap him. The fact that Merchan's daughter is in literal employment as a fundraiser with a key Kamala campaign advisor gives appellate courts an easy way to slap Merchan down.

Will they take it? Dunno but the whole presidential immunity hearing being set for a couple of days prior to the sentencing is possibly a end run for Scotus to scuttle the case until after the election by issuing a stay on the lower court proceedings. Merchan's cribbed lawfare decision (probably already written) is likely to be the regurgitated arguments that lost at Scotus earlier this year.

1.7 million ballots without images in GA in 2020. A full third of the 5 million total.

Just in GA.

The basement strategy worked so well that they had to manufacture a full third of ballots in GA to barely get Biden a win.

318 Will they take it? Dunno but the whole presidential immunity hearing being set for a couple of days prior to the sentencing is possibly a end run for Scotus to scuttle the case until after the election by issuing a stay on the lower court proceedings. Merchan's cribbed lawfare decision (probably already written) is likely to be the regurgitated arguments that lost at Scotus earlier this year.
Posted by: whig at August 14, 2024 02:14 PM (7nYLv)

I believe the NY appellate has already passed on the idea that Merchan needs to recuse himself or is biased here - and the sentencing is set well prior to any other ruling that could possibly persuade Merchan for Trump, even if it is decided that hearing immune testimony in his court should cause the case to be dismissed. He has already long since shown he doesn't really care.

So...in this I agree with McCarthy - Merchan will sentence Trump to a long prison term and remand him into immediate custody upon sentencing to serve his term behind bars - whether that holds up in the months following is anyone's guess...but I do not expect the NY appellate division or SCOTUS to ride to his rescue anytime soon after sentencing.

322 The thing is, Biden could run a basement campaign because:
1) Covid
2) Obama residual luster
3) no actual record
4) could still give speeches
5) Trump hatred still selling at all time highs

None of those work for Kamaslea.

The convention alone will expose enough to campaign against.

Concern types figure that is a legitimate issue against Vance. Not personally for them, no--they don't believe it but others like their favorite wine mom does. And so on.

I find that sort of hiding behind claiming what others think is pretty much cowardly.

In court, the argument would be speculation because unless there is hard evidence the nic knows what in in the minds of those type of people, it is simply projecting one's own opinions on them.
