why are we supposed to care about this? is it worth spending hundreds of millions of dollars in man-hours to achieve... whatever it is?
is this a butteryemails thing that wont die because conservatives have no real agenda and love to waste government resources?

Bingo.
The government is bad because it’s broken! Help us break it some more!
I don't know... Loans without expectations of repayment to someone who doesn't work in the government??? Lies or not, I reserve that kind of behavior for my Supreme Court Justices, not some random guy who has zero impact on my daily life!
I'm sure the Democrats would never waste millions of dollars on a frivolous investigation that ends having achieved nothing.
Anyway we care because the President is being bribed by foreigners using his son as a proxy. He lied about it, was caught, and then our intelligence agents including current employees lied about the whole story being made up in order to bury a damaging story during an election.
Then there is the fact that the President's son is a crack addicted whore monger who travels the country while illegally packing firearms and constantly picking up new whores to entertain while he does crack. We are supposed to believe he is also an international businessman worthy of serving of boards of foreign state connected energy corporations but has never once even discussed business with his high profile politician father, AKA "The Big Guy." It's pretty entertaining and he is EASILY the most FUCK UP member of a Presidential family in history. Literal cracked on dick picks and budget whores. It represents the current paradigm of a failed nation dominated by degenerate corrupt morons covering for each other from top to bottom in all areas of American life.
hhahhhahahha absolutely hilarious.
ok now talk about the 2billion the trumps made selling shit to the saudis
or the millions trump made directly from over seas vendors/governemnts
puhlease
Initially, Oversight Chair James Comer just released a list of paraphrased highlights from Morris’s testimony. Comer claimed that Morris informally loaned Hunter the money and does not expect to be repaid until after the 2024 election—or possibly ever. But the transcript shows this couldn’t be further from the truth.
This is exactly why they want Hunter in a closed-door session. They want to be able to lie about what he said. Hopefully this shows that won't be enough for them to be able to get away with it.
Having disgraceful relatives is a long political tradition. Billy Carter surely wasn’t the first but just in the era I know about, Roger Clinton accepted a $50,000 Rolex from the Gambino mafia family. Nancy Reagan was the throat GOAT. George HW Bush had an idiot son who broke everything he touched.
I can’t remember an Obama one that came up but there probably was one. Maybe someone in Kenya has made a Billy Beer equivalent. And the Trump boys would clearly eat decorative soap and say, “This candy kind of sucks.” and then eat another one.
And it was probably worse before. The Kennedy family certainly had their share of fuck ups.

Have. Let's not forget that RFK Jr. is out there denying vaccines and trying to spoil the election.
Uh, what is a throat GOAT? I am scared to Google for that.
It is alleged that she had a reputation for being very good at oral sex and had demonstrated such skills to numerous Hollywood figures. I have absolutely no personal knowledge to verify or dispute such an assertion.
What you HAVEN'T gotten blown by Nancy Reagan? Weird!
Indeed, I have led a sheltered life.
Or one of tragic deprivation 🤷
GOAT means greatest of all time. Throat means oral sex. Allegedly Nancy Reagan nee Davis used her oral skills to get Ronnie to drop his first wife.
Young Nancy Reagan

If youre gonna be out here looking like ET, you better be able to throat home.
Are we still doing nothingburger? Is nothingburger still a thing?
Not gonna stop these idiots from milking it for all it's worth, though.
Question for a lawyer:
Were we going to see this eventually, or was it only released because Comer lied about it?
There was mention of Morris's lawyer snapping back at Comer last week. Is this the product of that?
The individual Congressional committees have full control over what is released, though each chamber could surely force one of their committees to release information it if they felt like it.
I was thinking that was the case for congressional stuff. I seem to remember a civil deposition that was released early due to mischaracterization in the media. Seems you would need to have a judge in the loop for that. I also could be misremembering the facts anyway.
Thanks.
And I don't think that the courts can impose anything here. That's all legislative branch business, separation of powers and such.
Right. Just to clarify "seems like you need a judge, *and that's obviously not the case here as it would be to the civil context."
Fixed that for me. Thanks again.
The cases that have gone to court recently over Congressional subpoenas are really not the judicial branch getting involved with the legislative branch, but rather affirming that the legislative branch has that power and you have to comply. Really the courts are just acting as the teeth for Congress in this case.
Bruh, I just realized now that this guy is different from James Comey.
