    Boy. Isn’t this a big one in the Hunter Biden conspiracy?

    The big thing from Congressional Oversight Republicans, the one thing that seemed like evidence of the bribery they keep claiming, was that they got the “FD-1023” report of an informant that alleged the $5 million to Biden. Chuck Grassley put out a press release about it.

    And now it appears like it was just some guy who lied about it.

      It doesn’t matter now, because it’s already damaged Biden’s reputation, which was their only goal

          It’s literally become the Republican playbook. Spread scandal without evidence, play it up in the media, lie profusely, then pretend it never happened while moving on to the next fake scandal.

              Also Greene, “I couldn’t find any pictures of Biden’s dong so I used MS Paint to Photoshop his face on Hunter’s body and blew it up on poster board for CSPAN!”

          Benghazi actually happened though, and was an intelligence failure. Clinton shouldn’t have given the Republicans the soundbite they wanted, but here we are

          This seems like the Kremlin ‘discovered’ this source (coincidentally during Trumps reign, no relation) and got him to make up some shady sounding shit to influence US domestic politics
