Whoops, Trump did it again — the same blackmail scheme that got him impeached
Trump was impeached for blackmailing Ukraine's president. Now he's trying the same scheme on his own FBI director

https://www.salon.com/2020/10/22/who...him-impeached/

Quote:
Truth told, Trump demonstrated his failure to learn within days of his acquittal, first by bragging about it and then pivoting to lying about the Democrats. Since then, he's gone right back to abusing his power to fabricate lies about his opponent. He and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani — along with Giuliani's buddy Andrii Derkach, a Ukrainian legislator with ties to Russian intelligence — eventually returned to the very scheme that got Trump impeached in the first place: am attempt to counterfeit evidence that Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, had somehow dragged his father into a corrupt scheme. It's a claim with literally no evidence to support it, no matter how much Trump and Giuliani repeat the accusation.

On Wednesday evening, Devlin Barrett and Josh Dawsey of the Washington Post reported that Trump has threatened to fire FBI Director Christopher Wray — who, lest we forget, was appointed by Trump after the firing of James Comey — unless Wray announces a phony investigation into Biden that Trump can use as last-minute ammunition in the presidential campaign.

"Trump wants official action similar to the announcement made 11 days before the last presidential election by then-FBI Director James B. Comey," Barrett and Dawsey write, referring to Comey's infamous announcement that "he had reopened an investigation into [Hillary] Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state after potential new evidence had been discovered."

That investigation resulted in no damning information about Clinton, which was entirely predictable. Clinton had been thoroughly investigated for years without a speck of meaningful dirt turned up on her. But that announcement did help turn an election Clinton should have won to Trump's favor: It caused a surge of undecided voters to break for Trump at the last minute, allowing him to win several important swing states by razor-thin margins.

So there's one thing Trump was capable of learning: The value of fake scandals to distract from serious issues, such as his own corruption and incompetence. And he's hoping for a repeat, which is why he's pressuring Wray to pull a Comey against Biden.
Only those as foolish as this Insane idiot will fall for the same dirty trick a second time.

Pete Buttigieg rebuts Fox News' attack on Hunter Biden: 'If they want to make this about the business deals of a government official...'

Gotta love Mayor Pete for taking on the disgusting propagandists of Faux “News”. Maybe their idiot viewers will learn something, though that’s doubtful.

Inside the campaign to 'pizzagate' Hunter Biden
Pizzagate-style rumors in 2016 were largely confined to far-right message boards. This year, they are reaching the mainstream with help from a website boosted by Trump.

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...biden-n1244331

Disgusting that this Insane piece of shit is spreading this propaganda. He should be ashamed, but has no shame. Filthy asshole.

Joe Biden and Hunter Biden have been accused of corruption, but there's good reason to be skeptical

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-...-2020/12801162

Another legitimate source detailing how this story is pure bullshit.

Always fun to check in on the lying over at Faux "News". This dawg still don't Hunt. Sorry, Insane, you're a complete and utter fool for believing this crap "story", but no one here really expected any better of you.

You’re Not Supposed to Understand the Rumors About Biden
To raise doubts about the Democratic nominee, right-wing-media smears don’t even need to make sense.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...-sense/616824/

This crazy shit apparently only makes "sense" to idiot Trumpkins.

Now tRump is running attack ads showing a laptop showing one of these "alleged" emails and repeating Donny's lies from last night's debate. Kind of hard to do since the supposed laptop in question was never seen by these people.
No low too low, no lie too outrageous.

A Fox News reporter just debunked the latest conservative effort to smear Joe Biden

https://www.salon.com/2020/10/23/a-f...iden-_partner/

She will be fired in 3...2...1...

We can’t have truth here at Faux!

Could she be possibly auditioning for a job at a real news network?

The "Biden emails"... heating up, and just like that, evaporating like water spilled on a hot sidewalk.

A quick scan over at Faux "News" site this morning for their lies over this story. Odd. Like a miracle, it has just gone away! No sign of it, at all. ROFL. Maybe this Insane clown will perform the same miracle!
