We’ve got to give credit to the Chicago Tribune for running this story. Too many others are trying to censor it.

John Kass is no conservative, but he seems to be a more traditional liberal. He’s criticized Biden on several issues, like his failure to dismiss “court packing”. He’s also spoken out against the left’s cancel culture.

Still, even if this reference to the Biden scandal was somewhat stealthy, I’m surprised the Trib allowed it to be published. I’m sure the editorial board will call for Kass to be fired, as they do when he ventures off the plantation.

“How could anyone BE so lazy, stupid, sloppy and irresponsible and STILL get himself to the center of a political con, that’s awash in money?”

My theory is that Joe never planned to have Hunter involved in all this stuff. Beau was the “good son”: smart, handsome, family man, veteran. He was the one who was anointed and prepped to pick up the mantle when Joe was ready to retire. But then God had other plans for Beau, and Joe was left with can’t-do-right Hunter as his only option.

Don Vito Corleone had a similar problem.

Reporter John Kass seems to forget that POTUS is obligated by law and many treaties to make certain that US foreign aid is not stolen or squandered by corruption.

Poor John Kass. If he has a single brain cell, it would be lonesome. Most Americans now understand that the Democrat impeachment was done with no crime involved and that it was done for purely political reasons. It is nice to know that your enemy (Kass and his ilk in the corrupt media) are so stupid

For those who might have missed it, the opening sentence is alluding to the immortal words of Rod Blagojevich (referring to the fact that as Governor of Illinois he was in the position of appointing someone to a vacant U.S. Senate seat):

“I’ve got this thing and it’s (expletive) golden,” Blagojevich said in a conversation secretly recorded by government agents. “I’m not just giving it up for (expletive) nothing.”

Hunter Biden met business officials in foreign countries while traveling with his father, then Vice President Joe Biden.

In Ukraine, Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma natural gas; he raked in $50,000 a month-—or more-—w/ zero experience in the field.

Joe Biden says he never discussed business with his son. He wasn’t involved with Burisma. Joe didn’t know anything.

What was Joe doing when Hunter made 412 overseas trips w/ Secret Service protection?

Secret Service official records show that countries and territories visited by Hunter Biden, between June 2009 and May 2014, included:
Ethiopia and India on June 14-22, 2009 Argentina on September 14-17, 2009
France and Spain on November 9-13, 2009 Canada on February 12-15, 2010
Dominican Republic on February 18-22, 2010 Puerto Rico on March 20-27, 2010
China on April 6-9, 2010
Belgium, Spain, and the United Kingdom on May 5-8, 2010 UK, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Ascension Island, U.S.
Virgin Islands on June 6-13, 2010
Denmark and South Africa on August 9-24, 2010
Hong Kong, Taiwan and China on April 16-22, 2011
Mexico on May 15-17, 2011 Colombia, France, United Arab Emirates and France again on November 1-11, 2011
UK and Russia on February 15-18, 2012 Germany, France and UK on February 1-5, 2013
UK and Ireland on March 20-22, 2013 China on June 13-15, 2013

They actually don’t want to remind people about the impeachment that was one of the reasons people were not looking at what was coming out of China.
Yes - that was the first reason - but in a way, IMHO it was always the fact that HunterGate was always looming in the background, threatening to blow sky-high.

The Bidens really didn’t need to stir that up . . .

CIRCA 2018 ---Did Robert Mueller Cover Up Major Russian Espionage?
Janitor's view ^ | 09/12/18 | Reasonmclucus / fr Posted by kathsua
Robert Mueller and his staff may be covering up the biggest act of espionage in the United States since the acquisition of atomic secrets by the Russians at the start of the Cold War. Mueller is supposed to be investigating what the Russian hackers called "Fancy Bear" did during the 2016 election.

However, he continues to ignore an Associated Press expose indicating Fancy Bear focused on non-partisan email users including defense industry employees and those in the intelligence community. According to the AP, Department of Justice employees were aware of what Fancy Bear was doing, but didn't warn those whose emails were being hacked. . Fancy Bear used access to the Democrats national committee emails as a cover story to hide what may have been the real reason for the operation from the meatheads at the Department of Justice (DOJ)..

The popular myth is that Fancy Bear was accessing the Democratic Party's emails to help Russia influence the 2016 presidential election. Russia couldn't have used the Democratic national committee emails to influence the presidential election because the candidates' organizations run the presidential campaigns -- not the national party organizations.

It is unlikely Russia needed hackers to get the Democratic emails. Russia almost certainly had an agent planted in the Democratic national organization who would have used a zip drive to copy emails along with general information about party personnel and supporters. An agent in the organization can use conversations to obtain information that is never placed in the computer. China and Israel also probably had agents in the Democrats organization.

It may come as a surprise to some politicians and journalists, but Americans and Russians and their allies have been spying on each other and attempting to influence political opinions in each other's countries for 70 years.

It is time to recognize that Fancy Bear was conducting a major espionage operation rather than attempting to play politics. I don't know if the Justice Department's Fancy Bear collaborators were just stupid or the Russians paid them for their services. Nor, do I know if Mueller and his staff are taking money from the Russians or they're just trying to protect "dirty" DOJ employees and possibly former President Barack Obama. Obama's cybersecurity coordinator Michael Daniel has indicated Obama told DOJ employees not to stop the Russians.

It's time for President Donald Trump to replace Mueller and his band of incompetents with investigators who have never worked for the Department of Justice. Their mission should be to identify and prosecute those who collaborated with the Russian hackers and to determine if the Russians were able to use the knowledge they obtained to access classified information or infiltrate corporate or government computers.

Even if personal emails didn't contain classified information, they could have helped identify people who could be black mailed or be willing to accept bribes. Emails could have identified disgruntled employees who might welcome help to get even with an "unfair" employer. A covert agent could get acquainted with the employee and then tell the employee how he or someone he knew got even.

They have that impeachment courtesy of the FBI failure to give President Trumps defense team the content of Hunters laptop.
