"SNIP.......

“The FBI is scheduled to bring an internal law enforcement document that some Republicans claim will shed light on an allegation that then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a criminal scheme with a foreign national to Capitol Hill on Monday for House Oversight Chair James Comer and ranking Democratic member Rep. Jamie Raskin to review,” CNN reports.

“While the document contains the allegations made by an unnamed whistleblower, it doesn’t provide proof that they are true… The FBI and prosecutors who previously reviewed the information couldn’t corroborate the claims.”

.......SNIP"

1. I bet the text goes like this...

Biden is a poo poo head and he takes money from CHY-NAH and his son sells paintings!!!!

Your faithful informant,

John Barron.

4. I suppose it's better they do so now as opposed to like October 28, 2024

Sounds like even more of a nothingburger than the 'reopening' in 2016 was, but ... can't be too careful.

5. Tara Reade, defector to Russia Biden accuser, should be bookended with this no evidence claim.

6. FBI needs a political enema. Pronto. They know better than to

Bring empty allegations about officials. Unknown whistle-blower means nothing they should waste time on. Might as well let it blow over now.

7. Look for it to be featured in a political ad by next week.

8. Will they ask Rudy to come by to answer a few questions? 🙄

Now seems like a good time to point out that the information in these documents amounts to just accusations. Comer knows this because, as Dunham explained in another letter to him sent Tuesday, the FBI provided a deputy assistant director of its Directorate of Intelligence to brief the Oversight Committee’s staff last month on what FD-1023s contain and why they can’t be disseminated. Moreover, Dunham pointed out that recording information from a source “does not validate the information, establish its credibility, or weigh it against other information known or developed by the FBI.”

"I’d worried that Giuliani was an unguided missile, and Ukraine, a morass of misinformation," Barr also wrote. "I was determined to steer the department clear of them as best I could and, if we had to deal with them at all, do so with the utmost caution." [snip]

Barr later wrote that during the first Trump impeachment, "Giuliani embarked on yet another round of grandstanding. He went about claiming he had compiled significant evidence relating to the Bidens that he wanted to present to the Justice Department. While anyone is free to present evidence to the DOJ, the fact Giuliani was making such a public display obviously made his motives suspect."

He said that Giuliani tried a tactic of "giving just enough evidence to law enforcement to have some allegation investigated, then claiming one’s adversary was 'being investigated.'"

What. a. joke.

10. We want allegations, not facts!!

The entire damn GOP is run that way.

11. GOP - - Gobs 'O Poop

They're so full of it... what sane person would listen to their rantings?

12. Never See It

They may bring it but they'll never release it. Instead we will get random innuendo of the evil Biden crime family with no proof.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

14. And The Reason They Won't Release It.........

.........is because it will contain no actual evidence. But MAGAts don't NEED evidence. Just the mere suggestion that it MIGHT contain evidence of Biden wrongdoing is enough for them to declare it the smoking gun. And the fact that they're not allowed to see it is PROOF that it is exactly what they say it is, and the "Deep State" doesn't want people to see it (which is DOUBLE-proof). They will all rally around it like they STILL do with Benghazi and the Hunter Biden laptop. The fact that they can't see it, in their minds, proves that it is everything they want it to be. Truth be told, I bet COMER will secretly be the one to ask that it not be released to the public. For that very reason. It's more powerful to Trump nuts if it's NOT released.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

13. Funny How When It's Trump, MAGAts Demand To See Evidence

And even overwhelming evidence isn't enough for them. But when it's Biden, a mere rumor is enough. As was said above, I bet this little memo dealy is nothing more than one person (probably a Republican insider/donor) saying, "I think the Bidens did illegal stuff." This is their big smoking gun.

Meanwhile, there are audio AND video recordings of Trump breaking the law multiple times over and they do nothing but cry that he's the most persecuted man who ever lived. No lie, I had a conversation with a Trump cultist last month who told me that Trump is the most persecuted person in the history of this country.

16. The Conservatives in Canada are taking a page out of that book.

Government kept info that there was Chinese interference in the last Canadian election, against the Conservatives, to protect sources and methods as you do with classified material. The Government told the leader of the Conservatives at the time. Current Conservative Leader, Pierre Poilievre, wanted an inquiry. Liberal government wanted to protect sources and methods. They got an emminent Canadian to study the issue. He said government did nothing wrong. CONSERVATIVE Leader Poilievre said that not good enough. Government offered all the opposition leaders secret clearance to review all the highly classified records for themselves. Poilievre said no. He wants a public inquiry. He doesn't care what the facts are. He just wants a public inquiry. Former Leader of Conservatives O'Toole just admitted he was warned about the Chinese interference at the time. What will Poilievre do? He doesn't want the truth. He wants a scandal. Trudeau is a natural politician and, though he has been in power for 8 years so people get tired, he is still well liked. I am so tired of the Conservatives manufacturing scandals. It never ends. They are ahead in the polls and want an election. NDP Liberal coalition still holds because Jagmeed Singh hates Poilievre and the Conservatives and still has programs he wants to implement with Trudeau. But all the opposition parties want the emminent person, David Johnson,to be fired because when his kids and Pierre Trudeau's kids were young, Trudeau Sr. would park his car in David Johnson's driveway at Mt. Trembling to ski. And that happened 5 times.
