Below is my column in the New York Post on the expanding scandal surrounding the Hunter Biden investigation. Even CNN legal analysts are now calling the handling of the investigation at the Justice Department an “unholy mess.” The responsibility for this theater of the absurd is Attorney General Merrick Garland who has again shown a lack of strength and leadership at a key moment for his department.
Here is the column:
“There is a time to laugh and a time not to laugh, and this is not one of them.”
Those words from Inspector Jacques Clouseau may have to be emblazoned across the hearing room of the House Oversight Committee. It was a month ago that House Democratic members mocked the testimony of two whistleblowers who testified about the rigged investigation to protect Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden.
Now it appears that the controversial “sweetheart deal” was not the first choice of US Attorney David Weiss. He actually was planning to let Hunter walk without even a misdemeanor charge despite massive unpaid taxes, gun violations, and work as an unregistered foreign agent, among other alleged crimes.
The reason for his change at Justice, according to the New York Times? Those pesky whistleblowers.
One of the most insulting moments for the respected IRS agents came from ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), who mocked the allegations as part of “this Inspector Clouseau-style quest for something that doesn’t exist [that] has turned our committee into a theater of the absurd, an exercise in futility and embarrassment.”
Raskin assured the public that these “disagreements” are “routine” matters in investigations (a position echoed by his junior colleague, Rep. Dan Goldman of New York). The IRS agents tried to object that they had never seen anything like what happened in this case.
Then the case became anything but a laughing matter for Democrats. The plea agreement with Hunter Biden collapsed within minutes of a federal judge asking a few basic questions.
When District Judge Maryellen Noreika balked at sweeping language on immunity, she asked the prosecutor if he had ever seen any agreement like this one. He answered “no” and the deal quickly fell apart, with Hunter Biden’s lawyer finally saying exasperatedly, “Just rip it up.”
The language was anything but routine.
Then an FBI agent spoke to Congress and confirmed testimony of the IRS agents, including that Hunter Biden was tipped off on an attempt to interview him. The agent said they were forced to sit a block away and told not to approach the house. The interview was then cut off. He described being “upset” and how this was not routine.
The New York Times, which has spent years downplaying the Hunter Biden scandal, has published an internal account of the investigation. The Times reported that US Attorney David Weiss was actually preparing to let Hunter walk “without requiring a guilty plea on any charges.” However, that “changed in the spring, around the time a pair of IRS officials on the case accused the Justice Department of hamstringing the investigation. Mr. Weiss suddenly demanded that Mr. Biden plead guilty to committing tax offenses.”
In other words, according to the Times, those two mocked whistleblowers prompted the Justice Department to prosecute. Why would that be?
Attorney General Merrick Garland insisted that no political pressure or political considerations would affect the investigation.
Yet it appears that the Biden team did raise the potential embarrassment for the president and the Justice Department if Hunter faced serious charges. New emails reveal that Hunter Biden’s lawyers told the prosecutors that, if there were serious charges, it would be President Biden in the spotlight.
Hunter’s lawyer Chris Clark (who just asked the court to be allowed to leave the Biden team) wrote Weiss and the prosecutors that the best thing for everyone was to just walk away: “This of all cases justifies neither the spectacle of a sitting President testifying at a criminal trial nor the potential for a resulting Constitutional crisis.”
So the Justice Department had the Biden team warning that it needed to avoid the embarrassment for the president from any trial while their own investigators were threatening to reveal embarrassing details on the special treatment afforded to Hunter.
The solution appeared to be a plea deal that would involve minor crimes with no jail time. The appearance of prosecution without any real consequences for the Bidens. No time would be served and, again, the investigation could be shut down without further complications or controversy.
Then the wheels fell off in court and left everyone in a bit of a muddle.
There was no way now to kill the case.
There was no way to ink the original plea deal.
Congress was calling Weiss and key Justice Department figures to answer questions about this investigation, the compromised investigation, and the sweetheart deal.
Weiss had agreed to supply answers when he thought the plea deal was a done deal. Now that “spectacle” was becoming more and more likely.
It got even worse. If Merrick Garland finally yielded to demands for a special counsel, the regulations specified that the person had to come from outside the Justice Department. That meant it could not be Weiss. That person would presumably start by reviewing not just the evidence but the crimes that might have been charged years earlier.
Yet the Justice Department reportedly allowed the statute of limitations to run on major crimes, including the tax offenses related to the suspicious payments to Hunter Biden from Ukraine and other countries.
Garland decided to violate the regulations and appoint the most controversial person (with the possible exception of Hunter himself) to offer an independent examination of the case: Weiss.
While Weiss may be able to justify his actions or contest these allegations, he is clearly viewed as compromised by many in the public. He stands accused of running an allegedly fixed investigation and, now according to the Times, only pursued the “sweetheart deal” when whistleblowers moved to expose the allegations of special treatment for the president’s son.
The question is why, knowing the distrust over the past handling of the investigation, Garland would make an appointment guaranteed to further deepen that unease. According to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, almost half of Americans lack trust that the Justice Department will conduct the Hunter Biden investigation in a “fair and nonpartisan manner.”
For these Democratic members and Garland, the case has truly become the “theater of the absurd” that Raskin predicted … only no one is laughing.
Jonathan Turley is an attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School.
The DOJ, as currently administered, has no concerns about the “unease” further deepening so long as a powerful and monolithic Democrat Party exists also to support and advance statism and cronyism. The game is on for all to see and the collectivists who run the DOJ may as well be open about it. Centralized government control over economic planning and policy and an economic system in which businesses thrive not as a result of spontaneous, free, and uninhibited enterprise, but rather through collusion between a business class and the political class. The DOJ has been caught in what it does, and it couldn’t care less.
Professor Turley, you are much too kind. Garland is not weak. He is a corrupt political hack who will do anything to get the result he wants, i.e., the whitewash of the Biden crimes. He doesn’t care about his reputation; he just wants to win. If he wins, people will eventually forget about the corruption that got him the victory. It is time to call it for what it is. Garland is a corrupt AG and to keep calling it that way. That was the problem with AG Barr. Barr was honest and tried to do the right thing, even in difficult circumstances. Trump wanted an AG like Garland, who do anything to win reputation for integrity be damned.
We need to stop acting as if Garland is actually trying to do the right thing. He isn’t.
My new pal Turley is way too nice for this dirty business.
*Turley does not know whether to laugh or cry. ..
“The question is why, knowing the distrust over the past handling of the investigation, Garland would make an appointment guaranteed to further deepen that unease.”
Seems Professor Turley has reached Stage 4, depression, on the ‘grief’ scale regarding his friend, Merrick. We all wish you a speedy Stage 5, acceptance, very soon and hopefully you’ll realize what a disaster The Court would have been with him on it.
After doing the three monkeys routine for 4 years, see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil of the Great Blue Hope, i.e. alleged rapist and lifelong grifter Joe Biden, the left is shocked, shocked! to discover that the entire “Biden” regime is covered in slime.
The only really enjoyable part of watching my country be intentionally destroyed, when it was obvious all along that that was the intent, is observing Democrats belatedly wake up and try to rid themselves of the demons they invoked in their lust for power.
But as I read once in a random post by a pagan, “Don’t invoke anything you don’t know how to get rid of.”
Let me save you all the trouble of trying to desperately cast around for another candidate for 2024. “Biden” isn’t going anywhere. He is exactly what his globalist masters want – an evil muppet with the convenient smokescreen of “dementia” to cover all the assaults on America.
You are stuck with him and we are stuck with him. The good news, for Democrats, is he’s still going to “win” in 2024 with the magical mystery voting machines that inspire such confidence in Professor Turley.
The bad news is, when the stock market crashes, which it will just before or just after the 2024 elections, it crashes for all of us. When this country goes down, that’s when Democrats find out their self-appointed intellectual and moral highground was never the highground at all. It was always the swamp. And we will all be submerged in it.
If Joe Biden has done something illegal, he should be impeached.
If the GOP doesn’t actually have evidence of Joe Biden doing something illegal, they should drop the charade.
If we had a DOJ that was not corrupt and would do it’s job, we would of had the evidence long ago.
As we are seeing more and more evidence coming to light, the Republicans should continue their investigation rightfully so.
Begging the question is a common fallacy.
Trump’s AG Barr found nothing. And before Barr, there was nothing found, so when after 6 years, when will it be found.
When someone starts looking, obviously.
What they should do is launch impeachment inquiries into Biden, Garland, Weiss and Mayorkas, use the subpoena and contempt power to the full and enforce everything promptly in court. There is enough evidence of corruption, abuse of power, obstruction and lying to congress to get this going right away. If the Democrats had a mere fraction of this evidence they would have launched impeachment inquiries long ago.
“If the GOP doesn’t actually have incontravertible proof of Joe Biden doing something illegal, they should drop the charade.”—-Smeagol
Fixed that for ya.
“If Joe Biden has done something illegal, he should be impeached.
If the GOP doesn’t actually have evidence of Joe Biden doing something illegal, they should drop the charade.”
By the current standards of evidence, Biden is more guilty than Trump. There is actually evidence.
If you have this same standard through all the ridiculous Trump investigations, where the lack of evidence was obvious to anyone checking in good faith no more than a few months in, well, then you’re at least consistent, and I applaud you for that.
Of course, Joe Biden himself has publicly bragged about his corruption with Ukraine, so the “no evidence” thing is a pretty big stretch….
But mostly, the thing I want is one standard. Trump has documents? Oh, look, Biden has had documents for literally decades *by his own admission*, and he was not President then (who has plenary power to declassify), so he’s is ***AT LEAST*** as guilty as Trump on that.
That’s just one example among MANY.
deboluccia
Well said sir.
Two things:
1) Where is young Inspector Morse when we need him. He would bust this conspiracy.
2) I hope the whistleblowers–present and future–have ex-Mossad agents as bodyguards.
Notice the massive difference in tone between Turley’s posts on Hunter and his posts on Trump. He gives Trump every benefit of doubt (even if there is none) and twists every legal issue to make Trump look as lead bad as possible. With Hunter he does the opposite.
Let’s also note that there is no one outside of a Pennsylvania Ave address who cares if Hunter goes to jail or not. That is why this is not getting much attention.
That it’s about Hunter is your Red Herring.
Nothing to see here…..
I do believe that there are quite a few who want to know all the dirt concerning the biden crime family. Too bad our media/propaganda machine seems to be the ones disinterested in the story.
The good professor is pointing has been and continues to point out the corruption of not only the Biden Crime Family but the corruption of the DOJ, the FBI, and the IRS.
What is truly amazing is the fact you seem to be perfectly fine with all the mounting evidence, to the point you willingly play the useful idiot and do ‘whataboutism’ about Trump.
It only looks that way. The left has gone so far afield and stretched so many legal interpretations in their pursuit of Trump that Turley has no choice but to point it out. The more evidence that comes to light on Hunter (perhaps Joe himself), The more the left tries to ignore it. I’ve never seen anything like it. I truly believe that Turley is as balanced as anyone.
The evidence is mounting and mounting.
And you still refuse to see it.
Your delusions are quite impressive.
Watching you attempt to spin and spin, to attack the good professor is funny and sad at the same time.
That’s just plain dumb. No one cares about Hunter. It’s about the corruption of the system, all the way up to the criminal at the top.
Lex,
Well said.
This scandal, the attempts to cover it up, how much the corruption is in the system is something every American should be concerned about.
But our leftist trolls will have you believe there is nothing to see and OMG! TRUMP!
This Georgia indictment of Trump and company looks more like Hitlers night of the long knives.
Not exactly because that was Hitler eating his own. While I am certainly no fan of Trump, political persecutions are terrifying.
Jaimie Raskin proves that the apple never falls far from the tree. His father was an unapologetic shill for the Soviet Union siding with the barbaric regime on every major defense issue against the US. Raskin is no different. He will support the current regime and destroy the reputations of anyone who opposes this regime regardless of the truth. For him, like his Bolshevik predecessors, the “party is always right”. He should do the world a favor and follow the footsteps of his son and eliminate his carbon footprint. Garland and Weiss are nothing but gangster lawyers. There has never been a more corrupt DoJ in modern history. Garland makes John Mitchell look like a paradigm of probity. Garland and Weiss belong in San Quentin.
Alan, I don’t disagree with anything you said. Good comment.
Will you please comment on why the statute of limitations on income tax has been applied to Hunter Biden when a strong case can be made for fraud?
Robert D. Goldbach,
To protect the Biden Crime Family.
Upstate Farmer, exactly right. At least since Trump’s call with Zelensky in July 2019, everything that could be done has been done to protect the Biden Crime Family. As for Weiss, he should not be a special counsel but should be a target of a special counsel for obstruction, as should Merrick Garland and the others in DOJ who helped stymie the investigation. As should Joe Biden for corruption.
Since none of this will happen it is up to the House to investigate, through impeachment inquiries into all of the above.
What did Obama know and when did he know it? He appointed Biden to be in charge of the Ukraine portfolio, he gave him wide berth with China, he dealt with Russians and he got money from all of them.
Obama was knee deep in the beginnings of the Trump Russian Collusion lie, as was Biden.
Obama knew who was visiting HIS VP.
Obama knew that Biden got Shokin fired.
Obama didn’t want or endorse Biden for president, he just wanted him to quietly go away.
Obama was very involved with intelligence agencies and their investigations.
Obama is why some on the left are defending a moron corruptocrat like Joe Biden because if Obama gets sullied it harms the Democrat Brand, and they can’t have that.
Obama, without him we wouldn’t have Joe Biden, the border would be secure, inflation would be down, the Russians wouldn’t be in Ukraine, the CCP wouldn’t be sending balloons across our country, students would be paying THEIR loans off, we wouldn’t have trans athletes in woman’s sports and locker rooms .etc etc, etc etc, etc etc.
LOL.
It is all part of that “Fundamental Transformation” that obama promised. Is that what you find so laughable?
No, it’s the delusions that I find amusing.
Delusion is a mild term for what is happening to so many minds. Until the election of obama I truly thought it was impossible for people to delude themselves as to what the N*zis were doing in those concentration camps but I see is all you need are poorly educated people willing to sell themselves for their own safety.
>”Obama knew that Biden got Shokin fired.”
I still have $100 reward for anyone who can get Obama on *record* approving Biden’s blatant meddling into Ukraine’s domestic affairs .. . and sovereignty.
“Russia will always have escalatory dominance in Ukraine” ~ Obama on one reason why the U.S. has no vital national security interests in Ukraine.
*”never underestimate Joe’s ability to fu*k things up” ~ statement attributed to Obama
I still have $100 reward for anyone who can get Obama on *record* approving Biden’s blatant meddling into Ukraine’s domestic affairs .. . and sovereignty.
We know nothing like that exists. People could be turned that worked in the White House, but that would take a DoJ and FBI willing to use their tools to get them to provide the facts.
The facts are clear that Obama and Biden sat for regular in person briefings about crossfire hurricane, and crossfire razor. Those briefings would have been factual that it was all a farce, and Obama and Biden sanctioned and encouraged the illegal actions. But Barr refused to expose the facts, and switched to coverup mode.
Dear Prof Turley,
You know, they say laughing and crying is the same release. .. both in love and politics.
This should be part of exhibit 2A for any potential impeachment of Joe Biden, if such a thing is possible 🙁
“New emails reveal that Hunter Biden’s lawyers told the prosecutors that, if there were serious charges, it would be President Biden in the spotlight.”
That’s a tie that binds.
*also, Merrick Garland’s appointment of Weiss to SC contradicts his own emphatic declaration that USA Weiss had the authority to charge (or not to charge) the Bidens ‘here, there and everywhere’.
Three apologists got their marching orders and are invading the only place where an honest discussion of corruption at the highest level is occurring. It is pathetic to see fools defending obvious corruption that would have put any Republican either in jail or in the impeachment box.
Imagine throwing away any reputation you might have for Hunter and Joe Biden???? WOW!
HullBobby,
We all knew it was only a matter of time when the mounting body of evidence is so large, so obvious that our resident leftist trolls would no longer be able to deny it.
But here we are. And they are still attempting to deflect, deny and attack the good professor in desperation.
Actually it is rather fun to watch.
And the fun will continue as more and more evidence comes to light of the degree of corruption of the Biden Crime Family and the oh so very corrupt DOJ.
The only real problem I have is what Ralph pointed out: In order to deflect the various scandals what will they do? WWIII?
Upstate, it is amazing that some partisans, like to fools that comment here defending Biden and reps like Goldman and Raskin, will just keep hanging on as the water on this Titanic keeps rising.
If there was sufficient evidence against Hunter to not offer the plea he had in place it already would’ve been charged.
If we did not have a corrupt DOJ, who slow rolled the investigations to allow the SOL to lapse, Hunter would of been charged, convicted and in prison by now.
But we do have a corrupt DOJ, as the good professor has been pointing out and more and more evidence comes to light. What we are also seeing is a obvious two-tiered justice system.
If there was sufficient evidence against Hunter
You admit taking in $millions from foreign interests is not a crime. Selling influence is not a crime. By your own account Hunter sold US Access to foreign interests. Without being registered as a foreign agent. There is no doubt taxes were never paid on income received.
These are just a few of the crime, you yourself have identified.
Upstate Farmer: WHAT EVIDENCE? Where is the proof that JOE Biden committed any crimes? WHAT crimes? Where are the witnesses, the paper trail? You know there isn’t any, and pointing out that Turley knows this too, established by the fact that he uses words like “alleged”, “people say”, and similar, as a cover for the lack of proof when he implies that there IS such proof is not an “attack”.. What, exactly, is the CORRUPTION of the Biden Crime Family, and why hasn’t any proof of this been brought forward?
Joe Biden’s crime is that he is a despicable human being.
WHAT EVIDENCE? Where is the proof
Gigi, did you have to do 4th grade over?
Those are not synonyms.
Iowan
This troll has been using those terms for months. I have schooled “her” on the difference twenty times. “She” doesn’t care, just keeps dropping the same keyboard diarrhea. Same as Smeagol, who claims you can’t introduce evidence at trial unless you have “incontravertible proof”. Which I guess is even more true than just “proof”.
Despite Turley’s heroic efforts in going all Hunter Biden all the time, Trump is still turning himself in on Thursday in Atlanta and charger with racketeering and running a criminal enterprise. Some of the lawyers indicted alongside Trump are begging him to help pay their legal fees with money Trump’s bilked from the true believers abd he’s turned them down. DO you think Rudy and Jenna Ellis won’t flip? Something Turley should note is that a Constitutional Lawyer is turning himself in today, not that Turley is doing anything illegal like Eastman has. There was a time Eastman hadn’t crossed the line.
On a separate note, unless I missed it, not one of you has responded to the fact Trump doxxed Obama and posted his address on Truth Social. The same day, an idiot was arrested in the neighborhood, lookinging for the Obama home. His van was loaded with guns and hundreds of rounds on ammo. He was livestreaming his plan to sneak in through the sewers and alternately looking for a “good angle” for a shot. Somebody suggest to me Trump’s thought process in posting Obama’s address? The address was left up for a week after the arrest.
Hey Enigma, just because Trump stinks doesn’t make Biden less corrupt, demented or unable to do the job. But hey we get it, you hate Trump. Really lame.
Lame is right.
You see Joe Biden’s appearance in Maui two weeks after the fire?
Nothing says classy like trying to make jokes at a site were 114 people have died and still 800+ missing.
But! But! But! Trump cries TDS afflicted Enigma.
Biden has several flaws, as do many politicians and their families. Hunter Biden broke tax laws (as have every member of the Trump family) and may well go to jail, so be it. Donald Trups violation of laws are epic and may well play out on television, not that I expect you to care. GA legislators are working to change their pardon laws so that mandatory sentences can be waived for one man. They aren’t even pretending he’s not guilty, they just don’t want him in jail for their crimes. Trump believes he’s above the law and may well be proved right.
In the “mind” of Enigma being bribed by our enemies is not a “flaw”. Notice the apologist cites some issues with Hunter while the lying partisan ignores the fact that THE PRESIDENT (while he was VP) took money from our enemies.
The case that the Trump family has been bribed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Russia is much stronger than the case against Biden. Double standard much? I almost left out China (Ivanka), my bad.
Seems to me, those were business deals, all made in the open and on the up and up.
If they were not, dont you think our corrupt DOJ, FBI, IRS would of investigated and charged them by now?
Trump’s family knew they were under a corrupt DOJ, FBI, IRS microscope. So, the did everything legally and in the open.
It is not like they took money from a Russian oligarch to keep her off the US sanctions list, paid to the Biden family through one of the Biden Crime Family shell companies.
Most of those deals were done under the Trump administration, run by officials he appointed that never touched him. How do you know what Qatar got for saving Jared’s ass on the aptly numbered, 666 Park Avenue bldg, what did we cede (besides overlooking the beheading of a reporter) for Jared to get $2 BILLION from Saudi Arabia. How many Russian oligarchs own Trump properties or lease space i Trump Tower. We know one paid way over market for a Florida property he never lived in. Trump has already been found guilty of real estate tax fraud yet you say with a presumably straight face that he does everything “legally and in the open.” What world are you living in?
That reads like a Blueanon conspiracy theory.
Show me the lie?
So it was a large gift.
Oops, you lied.
I have no idea what you’re referring to. What I was asking was where I lied in response to someone who said I had.
” Jared to get $2 BILLION from Saudi Arabia. “
Jared didn’t get $2Billion from Saudi Arabia. Jarad and the Saudi’s are partners and the Saudi’s expect to make money off of their investment. Jarad hopes to make money as well. Additionally part of the $2Billion was withheld to make sure Jared could run the company well. Both are looking for profits. The deal is totally normal.
“How many Russian oligarchs own Trump properties or lease space”
A few and some Chinese own or lease from Trump as well. Biden got the money for influence peddling, better known as illegal corruption.
“We know one paid way over market for a Florida property he never lived in.”
Oligarchs and Chinese with money park their money in the US for children they don’t even have. NYC real estate increased in part because thee people paid what you think was over market prices. Long ago you proved that despite being a real estate salesman you know nothing about real estate values (other than what the books say).
We know you already, Enigma. I corrected your claims about Kushner and Saudi Arabia but don’t let that stop you from making the same libelous claim over.
You did that long ago when you claimed Trump was a racist because 20 years before he was born, there was a claim that Fred Trump was arrested at a KKK rally. There was no indication why he was there, and whereas others had to place bail, they released Fred Trump as an innocent person pulled in with a sweep. We don’t even know if that innocent person was Fred Trump. Despite news articles explaining what happened, you kept accusing DJ Trump of being a racist even though the claim was 20 years before his birth. You didn’t care about your reputation, and now you have none.
You’ve repeated this lie often enough about Trump being racist because of his father often enough that you probably believe I said it. What bexactlt was your correction about Kushner getting a $2 Billion deal from Saidi Arabia? Are you saying he didn’t get such a deal?
While you’re not answering questions. What is a good reason for Trump to post Barack Obama’s address. Is nobody even willing to speculate? So far I’ve heard that he didn’t do it (he did), that it doesn’t matter (a man showed up with guns looking to kill Obama) and that anybody could have figured out the location based on public information. None of you can acknowledge the threat to Obama’s life, or the people that died on January 6th, all because of Trump. It definitely was “wild.”
“You’ve repeated this lie often enough about Trump”
Why did you say Fred Trump was arrested at a KKK march?
Why did you say that Fred Trump supported the KKK march?
Why did you bring this news that occurred 20 years before Trump was born?
Why, when I replied, did you refer me to a fact check with a news article?
What happened when I produced another news article and showed you how your fact checker altered the news piece with a thick red line that partially blocked out the truth?
Why did it take you so long to recognize that your accusations were stupid?
Why did you repeat those accusations more than once?
I can go on and on. You do not care about the truth.
You do go on and on, truth be damned.
Tell us why you provided that story in the first place. The reason is it is true that you called DJT a racist because of an article that was printed 20 years before Trump was born. You argued that position for awhile until you realized how embarrassing your logic was. Then you tried to deny it on several occasions and failed.
You are doing the same with Kushner and others.
There is no end to the amount of libel you will write about others.
Do you expect others to spend time rewriting what was previously said several times over?
If you want to know about the Kushner deal look it up and check the records since it was even investigated. It was a normal deal that is made by investment entities all the time. There were no special favors made. The Saudi’s hoped to broaden their investments. I understand they bought up players for their soccer team at a high price (not sure of the details) was that fraudulent as well?
The Trump’s show value in any exchange and it is in the open for all to see. Hunter has no value except his father, and has many companies hiding the changes. Joe Biden has many names hiding himself so no one can easily see his corruption.
Enigma can’t tell the difference. That says more about Enigma’s failures than anyone else.
Trump has onl had success selling his brand, failing at selling steaks, wine, and fraudulent university. Now his name has no value as his name is coming down off the buildings that bore it.
Trump creates brands, something most people fail at doing. Some say nine out of ten new businesses fail. Trump has done fabulously and added wealth to the nation. He does better at some things than others, but in the process has amassed wealth and produced superb properties that are accessed by hundreds of thousands.
What have you done? You complain and advance victimhood.
brutal but insightful. Looks like he is also single, in his late 60s, and full of rage. No woman would want that
Enigma is regurgitating Democrat party media propaganda and lies that he has been spoon fed and actually believes is THE TRUTH.
Sad to see such stupidity.
Point to the lies? 2 Billion to Jared, 666 Park Avenue, Ivanka’a Chinese patents, Trump’s tax fraud, which of these are lies? You are one Google away from learning something.
Were Ivanka and Jared “charged” with crimes?
As Joe Biden and his propaganda media always say, “They did nothing wrong.”
Google is your “trusted source”?
LOL
Google allows you to select from several sources, possibly compare them and look for contradictions. I find it better than Truth Social
I bet you do. None of us would have predicted that. Google lets you choose from what google wants you to choose from. Wow. Cover your eyes back now.
Yes and Google makes sure the public does not know ‘too much’ about the Bidens or their corrupt crime syndicate…..that’s for sure!
Google gives those willing to look a selection from right wing to left wing sources.
So you agree, by Democrat propaganda media’s standards….Ivanka and Jared did nothing wrong….and by Joe Biden’s standards (those of a career-corrupt politician)……they did nothing “wrong.”
They did things wrong, there was no one willing to prosecute them. It’s hard for you to directly compare them to Hunter Biden who is being prosecuted. What about Trump posting Obama’s address? Is that wrong? Suppose someone including the suspect got killed? Would Trump be to blame?
Oh enigma, believe it or not, they are more than willing to prosecute a Trump, any Trump, for simply jay walking.
The fact that it was not prosecuted is clear: they did nothing wrong….
As the Democrats, the Democrat propaganda media, and Joe continually say about Hunter…”he did nothing wrong”….
even though Hunter OBVIOUSLY has done much wrong….criminal wrong doing…..against the law….including getting off for drug crimes that would have put him behind bars for minimum 5 years with no probation according to his own fathers crime bill….You think blacks are NOT paying attention to this??
“What about Trump posting Obama’s address?”
What about it? He posted a lengthy, publicly available article. That’s not “doxxing.”
We can ask you: What about illegally allowing protestors to continue parading, banging drums, etc, in the front of Supreme Court justices homes?
Even after assasination schemer was caught at Kavanaughs home where he and his family are no longer safe to live their lives?
All of this protesting in front of justices homes is illegal, and yet Garland chooses to not prosecute.
Answer the question: Is that wrong?
“What about Trump posting Obama’s address?”
“What about it? He posted a lengthy, publicly available article. That’s not “doxxing.”
He posted the actual address, not contained in any publicly available article. I said speculate, not lie.
As far as not arresting protesters, a decision made by US Marshalls. There are DOJ lawyers saying the law allegedly broke violates the First Amendment, especially when on public spaces. You’ll note that almost nobody was arrested on January 6th because someone made that call. I’d have no problem reviewing video as was done after January 6th and if anyone destroyed property or went beyond the First Amendment, they could be arrested.
Intimidating any judge or SC justice AT THEIR FAMILY HOME is against the law for obvious reasons.
For Garland to ALLOW it to continue outside CONSERVATIVE justices family homes is outrageous, dangerous, unlawful, and wrong.
Agree? Or disagree?
Allegedly, Trump posted a publicly available article. Nothing wrong with that.
And besides, why is Obama still taking up residence in Washington, DC less than a mile from the White House?
His kid are long gone and living on the west coast.
Barry and Michelle have mansions in Chicago, and sprawling estates in Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard….and they go on yachting vacations with Hollywood celebrites and billionaires.
Why should anyone GAS about Barack FRAUD Obama?
Why do you keep ignoring he published the address?
Why do you keep ignoring my question?
Intimidating judges and justices outside, in front of, their family homes is not only unlawful, it is dangerous and wrong…for obvious reasons.
Agree?
I have answered your question, you just didn’t like the answer. As mespo once told me and I couldn’t disagree, “My answer is my answer, you aren’t entitled to have it phrased according to your wishes.”
Why do you keep ignoring answering the question whether it is not only unlawful, but obviously wrong, for Garland to continue to allow protestors to march outside justices’ family homes?
“Why do you keep ignoring he published the address?”
He did not “publish” it.
He “truthed it,” feel better.
There is no 1A “right” to march in front of judges or justices family homes in order to intimidate them. For OBVIOUS reasons. Period. There IS a LAW against doing so.
By “they did things wrong” do you mean, unlawful or unethical?
And are you suggesting the laws were not enforced against them?
Are you suggesting that they broke laws but were not prosecuted? Because why, again?
The entire world knows these corrupt, activist, partisan prosecutors will prosecute anyTrump, anywhere, for any reason they can make up out of thin air.
The entire world also knows that these corrupt prosecutors will do anything, lie about anything, break any laws, abuse all ethics and principles, and do just about anything, in order to PREVENT a BIDEN (or a Democrat) from being prosecuted for OBVIOUSLY breaking freakin’ laws.
The entire world can see this, why can’t you?
“the actual address, not contained in any publicly available article.”
BS. That address has been public information, via Zillow, for at least 6 years.
What’s the address?
“What’s the address?”
If you had taken a moment to check the facts, you might not have spread the Left’s vicious smear. Though I doubt it.
P.S. Google (and Zillow) are your friends.
So you don’t have the address you claim has been publicly available since 2017?
“So you don’t have the address . . .”
So you don’t have enough initiative to look it up yourself? And you don’t have enough integrity to check the facts before spreading a smear?
Why are those unsurprising?
Enigma says: “Hunter Biden broke tax laws (as have every member of the Trump family)”
Fact check! Can we get a Fact check over here?
“every member of the Trump family” has broken “tax laws”
Did every member of the Trump family take in tens of $ Millions of unreported income, from foreign sources, laundered through multiple shell companies, and distributed to numerous family members, in hundreds of bank transactions flagged and reported as “suspicious” (ie, illegal) by numerous banks? Resulting in zero, ie, NO TAXES paid on the tens of millions received by nearly “every member” of the Biden family?
We rate Enigma’s comment as entirely FALSE.
*and if Enigma does a search to “fact check” this he will get propaganda garbage telling him that just because there are 20 shell companies and 175 Suspicious Banking Activity Reports does not mean Hunter or Joe Biden did anything wrong.
It’s all just another Republican “witchhunt.” LOL
You are correct in that I have no knowledge of Barron’s activities or reason to believe he participated though he certainly benefitted. Everyone else is a cheat and a fraud and there is enough publicly available information to know that; unless you are preset to denial.
This mindset and mentality we see in Enigma’s utterly obtuse comments is exactly the same mindset of the public officials running our cities into the ground. THIS idiocy is in power at every level of government and this mentality is what the very survival of America is up against. VOTE THEM ALL OUT OF POWER.
Better yet, if you can’t vote them out of office, fire them all. Fire 75 percent of all government employees. They are useless and unnecessary.
How did Trump get Obama’s address? Do they exchange birthday cards? LOL. I’m sure he got it from the same place as did the man who flew from CA to go to Justice Kavanaugh’s house – off the internet. But ex-Presidents have life-time Secret Service protection, so Obama wasn’t harmed and the nut was arrested. If locating ex-presidents through online records is that big of a threat, the Secret Service should have those records removed.
Many public servants down to local law enforcement don’t have their records available online or in county property records for example. As to where he got the address, a secret service agent is a possible source, but that isn’t the point is it. Kennedy had secret service protection when he was shot, so did Reagan when shot by Hinckley, the fact Obama has protection doesn’t make it okay. Neither does the fact the arrested man was an idiot (he also had open warrants from January 6th which proves it). My question is what was Trump’s reason for posting it, still waiting.
Any info on Obama’s dead chef?
Who was with him when he drowned?
Who made the 911 call?
Who “lost” his blood test results?
really, they”lost” the blood test results ?
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ALL THEY DO IS lie and cover up
@ enigmainblack
Also, “look man, if you vote for Trump, you ain’t black” ~ Joe Biden’s endearing quotes on the campaign trail.
“Look at my African American over here”
Blacks For Trump proudly support him.
Follow the money for “Blacks for Trump.”
Follow the support FOR Trump by Blacks.
hint: it’s going up, up, up….
Follow the money, I have no concerns about “Blacks for Trump which has no traction.
Voters of color are a big reason Trump leads the GOP primary

Leading the GOP primary isn’t what it used to be.
Blacks are moving away from the political party that kept them in slavery and now is keeping them on a Democrat plantation. You can stay where you are and help the left lower the black standard of living through their economic and immigration policies.
“Look at my African American (friend) over here”

Enigmainblack makes venom out of anything he is involved with.
How do you imagine anyone can “flip”? What conceivable issue is there to “flip” on?
Bless your heart, Lex.
Enigma shows up with an attempt to deflect and change the subject. He will be here until the afternoon shift of Dennis and gigi and fishlips shows up to take the comments into the evening.
I don’t see Mondays trolls…yet, maybe the got shell shocked learning the talking points they were handed were nothing but old lies, long ago shown to be lies.
I’m turning back to the original channel Turley’s avoiding.
Why is it Trump doxxed Obama? Give me your best excuse.
Fake news.
Thats a lie enigma.
But it is an opportunity to talk about Garland refusing to use federal law against protesting in front of federal judges homes. That was enough bait to get an assassin to show up in front of Kavanaugh’s house.
Just an example of the corruption of Garland
Thanks for reminding us of yet another data point proving the corruption
“Thats a lie enigma.”
Show me the lie. I picked the most Trump-friendly source among the first twenty I saw. Show me the lie?
https://nypost.com/2023/07/06/suspect-busted-near-obamas-home-got-address-from-trump-post/
It was a public article.
I’m missing yopu pointing out the lie.
The FBI doxxed Trump on national TV in a raid, and then showed his private residence areas in pictures to the entire world.
Which “private residence” are you speaking of, the country clubs in Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster or Trump Tower. Are they the same thing?
So where do you go from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Even though it’s not the White House, their swanky new digs are certainly palatial by most standards. And the 8,200-square-foot house is located in the exclusive Kalorama neighborhood, just blocks away from Ivanka Trump’s stunning new abode.
This is from a piece in something called: Southern Living”. March of 2017, complete with pictures.
You can’t dox widely known public information. Hell, a Dairy Queen is harder to find than Obama’s 4 mansions.
That’s the lie.
“You can’t dox widely known public information. Hell, a Dairy Queen is harder to find than Obama’s 4 mansions.”
LMAO—–Good one!
Who was it that perfected the art of doxing anyway? And claimed that it was a suitable means of protest?
The address is different than the neighborhood. What was Trump’s purpose? Give me one good answer.
The address is different than the neighborhood.
The District of Columbia is about40,000 acres. Take out the capital complex, monuments, museums, business, parks, schools churches and all such infrastructure you have a very small area for housing. Take out the slums and middle class working stiffs and youll find the high end mansions on a small island, consisting of gated communities. 1000 acres is generous. that is an area of less than 2 miles squared. Even you could find it.
Why did Trump post it?
To use Hillary’s words: “What difference does it make?”
“Even you could find it.”
Based on his posts, I would say you are being generous, to say the least.
You’ve clearly never been to DC. There are no “gated communities” in the Kalorama neighborhood.
so it is easy to find, thanks for collaborating
“What was Trumps purpose?”
I don’t know. What was Bidens White House meetings with Devon Archer purpose. Not to discuss the Hunter Archer partnership right?
iowan2, I can think of many good reasons to have a meeting, along with some bad ones. Can you provide one good reason for Trump to post Obama’s address? I do give you credit for not simply saying I lied about it.
I don’t know if he posted his address or not, but do you think these things are kept secret? When Trump was President, you knew his address at MAL, NJ, and NYC. When Kennedy came to Florida everyone knew the exact address of the Kennedy mansion. When the Supreme Court Justice’s lives were threatened, you didn’t give a damn, and when the threat became more intense, the leftist DOJ did little to protect them.
There is something wrong with you.
You should have stopped at “I don’t know.” You can’t handle the truth can you.
Despite explanation, you are unable to see the foolishness of your words.
The DOJ and AG Garlarnd continue to allow — illegally and unlawfully– protestors to intimidate Supreme Court justices and their children!! by protesting OUTSIDE their family homes — even after Kavanaugh’s family had to move elsewhere bc they can no longer SAFELY stay in their family home. Even after a would-be assassin was caught outside Kavanaugh’s home.
It is UNLAWFUL, in addition to being WRONG.
It is not simply up to the Marshalls — it is AG Garland who allows the lawlessness and intimidation of our justices to continue.
Is Garland waiting for someone to be killed before he ENFORCES the LAW?
Answer the question: IS THIS WRONG? Yes? Or No?
“I can think of many good reasons to have a meeting, along with some bad ones.”
Can you now? I’d like to hear one plausible good one and more than one bad one.
Don’t forget that Archer is on the record describing himself as Icarus.
“. . . Trump doxxed Obama and posted his address on Truth Social.”
Please tell me you’re joking.
That “doxing” took place in 2017, and has been ongoing since then. That’s when countless news and cultural sites ran fawning stories about the Obama’s new DC home — complete with scads of interior and exterior pics, specific location information, and even a Zillow history of the house’s value.
A blind squirrel could find that house.
If you wish to smear Trump, make the lies it’s based on less obvious.
There are those who just want to click their heels three times and hope this story of political corruption and government malfeasance will go away. I commend Professor Turley for staying on this story, especially since we were endlessly told by state media and the government that this is “Russian Disinformation.” They despise the truth, the many who seek objective truth and those who would dare question their narrative. Who would dare go against fifty of the most “respected” members of the “intelligence community.”
It is like watching a squirming third grader tell a lie and more lies to cover up the original lie. If only it were true that their pants would catch fire!
Here’s my observations.
The Department of Justice and the Attorney General appear to be very deeply corrupted with politically motivated partisans and political activists and the FBI leadership appears to be willfully supporting that corruption.
The same thing can be said for the departments of justice and prosecutors in many states. The corruption is so blatantly obvious to me now that the only question I have anymore is “how deep does the partisan political corruption actually go”? There are enough politically motivated partisan ideological hacks and activists within the justice systems across the USA to make the whole system appear to be corrupted with politics and ideology. Blind justice has become quaint and not politically correct and the law is taking a back seat. Now it seems to be all about doing whatever the politically infected justice system can get away without the public being told supported by the left leaning Pravda-USA mainstream media complex and of course the ends justify the means. It appears to me that the only “law” that’s truly being enforced anymore is the outright b-a-s-t-a-r-d-i-z-a-t-i-o-n of laws for political gain. These are just some of the valid reasons that people talk about a corrupted “Deep State”.
At the point where parts of our justice system worry more about how enforcing the law will look politically than actually enforcing the law, that’s when that section of the justice system has been fully corrupted by politics.
I’ve been saying for a while that our lawyers using our justice system is Our Last Effective Non-Violent Barrier Against Totalitarianism, well
I’m beginning to think that that same justice system is already deeply corrupted and it’s only going to get worse as ideologically indoctrinated lawyers rise in the ranks.
What’s happened and happening to our justice system over the last 15 years is very sad, I’ve lost faith in our justice system. We’re in for a rough ride.
This observation coming from a life-long Independent voter that doesn’t support Donald Trump or Joe Biden at all is really saying something.
Steve,
Well said.
The level of corruption is frankly not only obvious but worrisome.
They have made the US into a banana republic.
I agree completely. However you left out the key players in this charade that we call a “justice” system- the judges who are all corrupted political scum. The DC Circuit is particularly politically corrupt, and they flaunt it.
Bill Abell wrote, “I agree completely. However you left out the key players in this charade that we call a “justice” system- the judges who are all corrupted political scum. The DC Circuit is particularly politically corrupt, and they flaunt it.”
With all due respect, just because I didn’t specifically mention them doesn’t mean that they are excluded, Judges are part of the Justice System, they always have been and everyone knows, or should know that.
+100
What about Ivanka, Jared, and Melania?
All the crap indictments against Trump, you believe the DoJ is giving is family a break?
Stupid on stilts.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that this can’t possibly get any stupider or more corrupt, because it CAN and likely WILL. And that’s when things will get really dangerous, because flipping the script and bringing still more nonsense charges against Trump isn’t working — not politically anyway — so a different script is required. Return of COVID? — they’re working on that. War with Russia? — it seems as if they’re working on that, too. A UFO landing in Washington DC? — don’t be surprised. There’s always the unimaginable — unimaginable to normal minds, that is, but not to the minds of the sick “think tanks” that specialize in the unimaginable.
Yep, that’s the fear: desperation by corrupt powerful people can bring disaster.
Wonder how Garland can live with himself knowing he’s violated his oath of office with so much corruption. Sociopath?
Sadly, same as others in the Joetard administration, I think Garland is doing the job he was hired to do. Unfortunately it’s all political and has nothing to do with impartial administration of justice. He is the poster boy for corruption. Just hope that an opening on the Supreme Court doesn’t suddenly materialize, because Emperor Joetard wouldn’t hesitate for one moment to nominate Garland for SCOTUS, and the Senate would confirm him post haste.
We really owe one big one to McConnell from keeping this criminal off of the Supreme Court.
The denizens of these “think tanks” take Through the Looking Glass as a life manual.
Ralph,
That is why they are throwing so much crap at the wall in an attempt to deflect from the scandal.
And I think you are right, they are getting so desperate I would not put it past them to get us into WWIII or some other insane made up crisis.
Upstate Farmer: you have it exactly backwards–it’s Trump who is the international scandal–a deeply-flawed individual who is uniformly disliked all over the globe, and whom most Americans find repulsive–twice-impeached, indicted four times for serious crimes, proof of which we’ve all seen. So, Hunter Biden is the deflection away from Trump, whom most Americans agree deserved to be prosecuted.
Gigi
One question
How many oil fired power plants remain in the US, and are any of them in Texas?
You really saw that on MSNBC, not NBS, right Gigi? Don’t make me look it up, cuz I will.
