that could suggest the possibility that offers from Trump and the GOP to help him out could have made him willing to testify against Hunter Biden.

Note -- the account above is at least temporarily limiting who can see his tweets. See reply 11 below from Roland99 for a screenshot.

Ediiting to note that based on various emails I've seen that Bobulinski was involved in, it appears that he not only was eager to peddle the Biden name himself, but he wanted Hunter Biden to agree to not have any other business dealings. In one of the emails that's alleged to be accurate, Hunter Biden wrote, "I have been the only one asked to give up all other active commercial interests – no consulting fees no promoting another business."

It sounds to me as if Bobulinski was attempting to exploit Hunter Biden and their business relationship fell apart over that.

1. Testify? To whom? I must be behind the times, what's going on? (nt)

[greenjar_01]

2. Nothing's going on

A lot of nonsense from a flailing Trump campaign. Weird amplification of same from too-nervous Dems and bad actors.

3. He's a former business associate of Hunter Biden's and has turned over materials he claims are

damaging to both Hunter and Joe Biden to two Senate committees. He's also provided material to the NY Post. Rwers are crowing about this on Twitter.

But as I pointed out in the OP, he's in legal and financial trouble, apparently, and may have seen this as a way out.

4. Since it came out that trump has a secret bank account in China...

why would the repugs even want to touch this guy with sketchy connections to China and a 600k debt to boot.

[highplainsdem]

5. Desperation.

[brush]

6. If they do it will give Biden the chance to go into the trump bank account...

and where the money came from and or course how a US president having a secret bank account in an adversary nation leaves him vulnerable to blackmail.

Also just the blatant hypocrisy of how trump has been blaming China for the covid virus while all the while having secret account there.

7. Thanks. I needed this to reply to a trumper who just posted the NY Post article on FB.

[highplainsdem]

8. You're welcome! That's exactly why I posted the OP - so DUers had this info.

11. FYI - the Twitter account in the OP has limited their tweets now. Here are screenshots....

12. Thanks! They must have just limited the account. I'll edit the OP to direct people to your replyl

13. Here's the 1st line of Dissent's tweet, plus the full link to that PDF at Mourant.com:

14. Who cares?

Everyone knows Hunter has had struggles in life....Last time I checked he is not on the ballot, his dad is. Beside 45 is the alternative.

[highplainsdem]

15. See reply 7 above for why I posted this.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

18. I get why we have to see this.

My statement was more general and not directed at you specifically. This is just trash from a dying campaign, and a dying political party.

[Nevilledog]

16. Heard it on radio news going to the store.

Report said this dick VERIFIED all the emails were true and that he got out of the deals because it involved Joe. Ended with saying this guy says he has no political reason to say this. Total fucking bullshit.

[mrmoose]

17. plot thickens

Bobulinski also associated (and investor in, I think) "Friend Finder Network" (who deal in, according to wikipedia "primarily deals in adult entertainment, online dating, and social networking services". Don't know where this might lead, but maybe Russian pervert thing? Maybe Trump involved? Seems like the plot is thickening rapidly to me.

I researched one lawsuit a bit also, might be the same one referred to above....he's being sued by China Branding Group. Crux is, as I understand it, he says he lent them 600 or $650K at 2.5 repayment rate (that would be $1,625,000), claims non-payment, and now they're suing him for $650K....looks real fishy.

Don't know how much time you folks spend researching this stuff, but I know for me it is entirely too much. Happy to be part of your group now though and can watch and participate as someone else does the research. (uh oh....Trump troll??) Nope!

20. it always amazes and disappoints me that Biden's senate GOP colleagues don't defend him in

the least. I don't expect the few cultists to do anything that would displease their leader, but there must be some sane GOP senators who have some dignity and recognize that Biden isn't a criminal, pedophile, communist, radical, senile old man? Where are they? Why so silent and/or non-committal?

Wouldn't camaraderie, principles, sense of duty, history, morality, justice and fairness kick in? If not, why not?

Will they get their scotus pick then suddenly find their principles and kick Trump to the curb en mass? Or double down?

21. Any event where R's are claiming "emails!!!1!!"

Like the Post "story", or this one.
Ask where the email headers are.
All they have are pdf files, from screenshots or text files.
Anyone in possession of a real email will have the WHOLE email, including the headers.
Really, does anyone make a pdf of an email when they want to save it?
No?
Me neither.
The header info would allow IT forensics to be performed and prove the path, point of origin and receipt of said email. The servers that passed the email along would be identified and logs can be checked to confirm that the info is true.
In other words, verification.
Why doesn't Rudy or the Post or the blind computer gut who "Knows" Hunter Biden brought him a laptop release the headers?
The ONLY question that needs to be asked.
