I suppose things are still “normal” in Britain, or as normal as they could be, since Boris Johnson and others in politics are replaced or forced to resign for things that Democrats routinely get away with over here.

Not saying this to defend the Bidens. I’m saying this is the typical media approach: throw together a bunch of stuff into the same article and allow the audience to conflate them.

We know that the person who bribed the Biden’s made the recordings. We know the recordings were mentioned in the whistleblower report. We know FBI redacted them.

What would be the likely reason to record Joe and Hunter?

Many indications we have been getting can’t be confirmed, at least until sometime later when more info comes out. But you can draw conclusions from what you know, and that can give you a better understanding of what’s going on. You just need to keep in mind the nature of the facts your conclusions are based on, and be ready to shift those conclusions as needed as more facts come out.

If you wait until you have final proof, you will be far behind.

Would explain why Hillary Clinton’s Go-To PLOT for taking down Trump was “Russian Interference”…since WHO knew—WHO KNOWS— better than Hillary Clinton about “Russian Interference”?
AAAND, what better way to HIDE her own corruption vis-a-vis Russia? Pure genius, in fact!…if of the EVIL variety…

Would also go a ways to explaining—along with Russia’s role in “Biden”‘s Iran NON-deal—the “THEATER” of war that is the Ukraine…
(Masterpiece Theater, in fact…)

Biden, thy name is CORRUPTION? Hmmm.
Kinda feel sorry for ‘im.
One can understand why the FBI—no doubt ALSO feeling sorry for ‘im—believes it has to, um, “help out”…
(No doubt the FBI feels sorry for Trump, too—and would rather not perform the character assassination of the man that they’re doing…along with destroying the country…but they have their—RELUCTANT—priorities, I guess…and are only following orders—Hey, how’s THAT for absurd commentary!!)

I don’t think anyone here has said they know the audios are about the bribes. But the source implied they are, and that should have been investigated by the FBI.

Not saying this to defend the Bidens. I’m saying this is the typical media approach: throw together a bunch of stuff into the same article and allow the audience to conflate them.

Going back to the original Fox news article, this is what we know:

Chuck Grassley says that somebody told somebody at the FBI that he knew the guy at Burisma who was paying the Bidens.

Chuck Grassley says that the same somebody told the same somebody at the FBI that the guy at Burisma told the original somebody that he’d been keeping audio recordings of what he’d said to the Bidens.

Chuck Grassley says the Bidens did actually get money from Burisma.

The conflation comes in assuming that the audio recordings are about the money from Burisma. We have no way to know that, or indeed if the audio recordings ever existed.

But Fox News can get our eyeballs by throwing all that into an article, despite that large chunks of it cannot possibly be known to be true or connected at this time.

Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help. When his breath departs he returns to his earth; on that very day his plans perish. Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith for ever; who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry.

What’s wrong is not going to be fixed by putting red lizards in place of blue lizards, even if that were possible. What’s wrong has to be fixed from the bottom up, by individuals working together and using the power they have where they can to reform our institutions where possible, and to replace them with effective new ones where reform is not possible.

It’s going to be way more work than voting, so let’s all vote the right way, see it fail, get it out of our system, and then move on to something effective.
