Left...

Want to watch a left-leaning TV journalist quickly change the subject? Just mention Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden.

“For news shows on MSNBC, CNN and other cable networks, nothing is more disgusting than the mention of what Hunter Biden actually was doing in Ukraine,” law professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University writes in The Hill.

“What is most remarkable about the paucity of coverage of Hunter Biden’s dealings,” he adds, “is the conclusory mantra that, ‘This has all been investigated.’”

Turley, 58, a native of Chicago, cites examples of MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace cutting away from a speech by President Trump when he started to discuss the Bidens; NBC’s  Chuck Todd accusing Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., of trying to “gaslight” viewers by referencing the Bidens while answering a question about Ukraine; and CNN’s Erin Burnett switching to a discussion of President Trump when Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., tries to discuss the Bidens

Timber...

Timber Sycamore was a classified weapons supply and training program run by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and supported by some Arab intelligence services, such as the security service in Saudi Arabia. Launched in 2012 or 2013.

It supplied money, weaponry and training to rebel forces fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian Civil War. According to US officials, the program was run by the CIA's Special Activities Division ^[6] has trained thousands of rebels.^[7][8] President Barack Obama secretly authorized the CIA to begin arming Syria’s embattled rebels in 2013.^[9]

According to American and Jordanian officials, weapons shipped into Jordan by the CIA and Saudi Arabia were stolen by Jordanian intelligence officials in the General Intelligence Directorate (Jordan) and sold on the black market.^[26][14] 

The magnitude of the theft amounted to millions of dollars, and FBI officials state that some of the stolen weapons were later used to kill two American contractors, two Jordanians and one South African at a police training station in Jordan.^[7][26] Arms received via Timber Sycamore have flooded Middle Eastern black markets with heavy weaponry.

So when we here the outcome, so far, of the death, homelessness, refugees, and the misery of it all, here is the Obama/Biden administration.

Quid Pro...

By a nose...

Backfire...

What Nancy Pelosi said about Trump in her announcement also applies to Congress as a whole: “Nobody is above the law”. On the other hand, from a political point of view, the legal drama will most likely harm Democrats.  

 This is not just because there is very little chance that the Republican-controlled Senate will ultimately vote to depose the president by a wide enough margin;  the whole thing may well backfire as it did for the Republicans after their failed attempt to depose Bill Clinton in 1998.

Despite its procedural flaws and the deep disagreements it has laid bare, the Democratic primary process has so far demonstrated an ideological vitality and combativeness that hadn’t been seen for decades, either within the US Democratic Party or, frankly, any other left-leaning political force in consolidated Western democracies.      

Now, the risk is to squander that political energy into a legal dispute over Trump’s dealings with Russia and the Ukraine.

Snapped...

Former Vice President Joe Biden snapped at a reporter after being asked whether his son Hunter Biden’s work in Ukraine -- while the elder Biden was diplomatically involved with the country as vice president -- represented a conflict of interest.

“It’s not a conflict of interest. There’s been no indication of any conflict of interest,” Biden said while at a Service Employees International Union forum in Los Angeles.

The reporter then asked if Biden's son's work created the appearance of a conflict of interest -- prompting Biden to attempt to shift the focus to President Trump.

Hunter Biden served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company while his father was vice president. Republicans have questioned Biden's role pushing for the dismissal of a Ukrainian prosecutor who had been looking into corruption at the company.

Evidence...

Lies...

You know Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. She's the former "Native American princess" who gave up truth-telling to cash in on telling more lies.

In her latest fundraising email, she claimed she was visibly pregnant when "the principal told [her] the job ... would go to someone else."

It's another story in which she portrays herself as the oppressed, faking victimhood to gain an edge over others, including real victims.

However, her pregnant-victim story fell apart when school board records obtained by the Free Beacon showed the school offered her a new contract. She quit anyway — backing up the tale she told in 2007, when she said she left by choice.

Now Liz claims her Native American ruse was an honest mistake, but it still got her favorable press as the first minority woman in Harvard Law — a story so heavily promoted both by her and Harvard.

But, when she knew that scheme was imploding, she paraded that pathetic DNA test, proclaiming her Native American blood.

Ignoring...

About three weeks after he failed to show up to jury duty, police arrived at his home.

For failing to come to court, delaying the trial, and being unreachable on his cellphone. The judge stated that the trial was delayed for 45 minutes "waiting for juror Somerville and his conduct impeded the due administration of justice."

"Your intentional, willful failure to follow the orders of the court is a serious matter," the judge said.

Because of Somerville's "conduct," the judge convicted him of direct criminal contempt. In addition to sentencing him to jail time, probation, and community service, the judge ordered Somerville to write a letter of apology and pay a $223 fine.
