The underlying problem is that almost every politician in both parties engages in practices that in most other advanced countries would be called corruption --it really is just a matter of degree and Jeffries himself is no exception.

The whole point of an inquiry is to find evidence when probable cause dictates it. And ya, people want to know why $20mil was funneled thru 20 different shell companies to 10 different Biden family members where 10 different banks filed 150+ SAR reports used to identify fraudulent activity. Id say further review is needed and anyone who differs is obviously biased and uninterested in the rule of law.

There is evidence. Do people forget this?

[howtocooke]

He uses the word 'evidence' a lot. I'm not entirely sure he knows what it means.

They're gonna make sure hunter doesn't go to jail they want trump in jail

[sircasm]

Jeffries real problem is he's dense. Too dense to understand why he is where he is.

[tomc]

He's right! Besides all the evidence. There's not a shred of evidence

[guythatpaysforyourhandouts]

Then why did the WH send the letter to the media outlets then?

"I can't comment on an ongoing investigation" is a bureaucrat mantra

20 bank accounts. Money flowing into family members accounts from various nations....for what?

[marcjacoboii]

Check this guys finances and background either being black mailed or money.

[ciscokid]

Not a shred of evidence? I quote " I'm leaving in 6 hours if he's not fired you are not getting the money." " Well SOB he got fired. Or and I quote from hunter " I have to give half my money to dad ".

Not a shred of for the tape where Jotato brags about coercing the Ukranian President to fire the prosecutor investigating his son Hunter.

who has 17 shell companies & LLCs that each generate more than $5, 000, 000/year and have no records of any products or services marketed or sold?

[davidcoughenourdavidc]

Isn’t the point of an investigation to discover and then provide evidence? This man is not much of a clear thinker.
