So basically it says nothing.

I then did an image search for his bio picture. Turns out it's a stock photo for a "nerdy guy with glasses", mainly used by on-line eyeglass companies. Here, have a look on this page which is an eyeglass company in the UK. 5th image down. For Guys: How to look stylish in glasses | EyeStyle - Official Blog of SmartBuyGlasses.co.uk

So the author is a fake person.

Another thing about this source. newsthud.com list their Facebook page as this: https://www.facebook.com/NewsThudNews/
But that page no longer exists on Facebook, so apparently they deleted it. You can guess why. But this trustworthy news source of yours just leaves the dead link there expecting their readers not to click on it.

So you are caught red-handed spreading fake news from a propaganda website, most likely Russian.

My question to you is, where did you get this link?
Seriously. This stuff isn't funny. This is our democracy under fire, and you are fanning the flames.

And here's the shutterstock page where you can buy the picture he used. https://www.shutterstock.com/es/imag...sman-552205105

Seriously, this stuff makes me physically ill. These Trump supporters are now indoctrinated to call every MSM new sources as, "fake news", while their sources are directing them to actual fake news. I really, really want to know where they're getting this stuff.

So, lets just talk about the picture....Does it make what he stated wrong?



And going back to the picture, why would he want to get his butt whipped because he agrees with trump?



People use stock photos all the time.

  2. And he should be a pretty decent expert to warrant compensation at $600,000 a year while his father is a VP of the U.S., right?
  3. If neither is true, it's certainly possible that there is some influence peddling going on, right?
Now if the U.S., no longer under the control of Hunter Biden's party, wants to investigate this, wouldn't it be natural to ask the government of Ukraine for help? Is there any other way to conduct such an investigation? Or are the people involved immune?

Inquiring minds must wonder. See Hunter Biden Corruption Investigation Starts in Ukraine? Or is he privileged?
It is pretty common to put rich folks on boards and pay them handsomely. I think Hunter Biden has a name, and putting him in a board was probably a political decision. Having him on your board might secure your company an advantage with the US Government, and he probably can pull a few strings from time to time. Board members do not have to have expertise in the industry. But they are usually prominent in business or politics. Being a board member is a great gig if you can get it.

Now, does it look good to have a son of the Vice President on your board? Well, to the Ukranians it probably did. And it was certainly expedient. To us in the US, not so much. Hunter Biden is not known to be an expert in energy, or a truly successful businessman either. So to us it seems unethical.

Mostly I point it out to show the rank hypocrisy of my Democratic Party. I am an extremist liberal there but ashamed of its hypocrisy.

By the time the investigation is over, I'm sure we can accuse Biden of obstructing it.
We can start and finish by investigating Joe Biden's big fat mouth, then cram it all down the Blamestream Fakestream Lamestream Mainstream media's throats repeatedly.

Let's see if his story stays the same, he already contradicted himself in the press conference and the Chris Wallace interview.

So, your own link clearly states this started prior to trump being sworn in.....because they stated a special counsel in May, means nothing....the investigation started prior...
Of course I read it. The dossier wasn't an "investigation" in any official sense. Political opposition research could loosely be called an "investigation", I suppose, if you wanted. It's certainly no "investigation" in the context of law enforcement which is what I was discussing.

Another one that thinks there wasn't any evidence to show that Russia was interfering in the 2016 election.

You should tell the NSA and the CIA about it.

There is no goal post being moved. You stated trump was not the investigation, the link that you provided states different....go read your own link....

I'm betting the OP won't answer.
