Banana Republic

President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice has taken a keen interest in all things Elon Musk.

The US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York is reportedly pursuing criminal charges against Musk, scrutinizing whether the Tesla CEO failed to disclose personal benefits he received from his car company.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the new inquiry centers around Tesla’s “Project 42,” an alleged plan for a weird glass home and structure that Musk talked about constructing in Texas but never built.

It is quite the happenstance that only last month, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division also launched a bizarre suit against Musk’s SpaceX, alleging the company engaged in employment discrimination against non-US citizens.

Or, to put it more plainly, the Biden administration, which, as we speak, is overseeing a historic surge of illegal border crossings, is suing America’s most successful legal immigrants for failing to hire noncitizens.

Among other things, SpaceX, which has partnered with the US military on projects, produces rockets that are considered advanced weapons technology.

As numerous commenters have pointed out, companies involved in comparable work, including Northrop Grumman, have used similar hiring practices.

Yet for some reason, the DOJ has singled out Musk.

Now a suspicious person might point out it would likely not be above a DOJ that indicts the opposition party’s leading presidential candidate, regularly sues states to overturn laws it doesn’t like and prosecutes parents who protest school boards and teachers unions to target a powerful political opponent.

After buying the social-media platform Twitter, he not only reinstated Donald Trump’s account but those of numerous other critics censored by the company’s previous regime.

Musk has opposed government COVID mandates, criticized the left’s “woke mind virus” and called Democrats the party of “division and hate.”

You are following what is going on from your 4.5 inch screen in PHC? And you know better than Ken Buck a ultra conservative REPUBLICAN member of the House who dislikes Biden and used to be a Prosecutor? Do you see how stupid you sound.
Your opinion is worthless as I think you're too stupid to formulate a rational thought. F*cking nutters.

The fact check was for anyone who stops in an wants actual FACTS.
Continue on with your nutter circle jerk.

Hey You fool . Ken Buck is a career prosecutor.He said that he does not see the reason for having another dubious impeachment. But he also said he is open to voting for impeachment since the three house committees are doing a great job uncovering crimes by the Bidens

[b]
The Washington Post article also discussed how Buck has ruffled feathers by speaking out against the impeachment inquiry against Biden, even though at one point last week he said "I think it's a good move" about the impeachment inquiry. The opposition is something Nelson mentioned has "surprised fellow conservatives.'

Buck is a member of the hardline conservative
Freedom Caucus and said that he may still vote
to impeach Biden depending on the course of
the investigation.
im a prosecutor, so I’ve been beat up in court
when there’s missing evidence,” he said. “So I
may be overly cautious in this case. But it’s
very clear to me that something doesn’t smell
right — that there’s smoke.
“I am not opposed to impeachment, I’m
opposed to the impeachment inquiry because I
don’t think it gives us any broader authority to
investigate this,” Buck added.
“I think the three investigations — Judiciary,
Oversight and Ways and Means — are
uncovering a lot of very good information. And
I think the other information could change my
mind and convinced me that there should be an
impeachment.

***Important****
On Dec 4 2015 Archer's testimony was that Burisma held a board meeting in Dubai


Archer testified that Hunter called his father to help deal with Shokin’s investigation at both Pozharskyi’s and Zlochevsky’s request following a Burisma board meeting at the Four Seasons in Dubai on Dec. 4, 2015.

'They were getting pressure and they requested Hunter, you know, help them with some of that pressure,'Archer said, explaining the pressure was coming “from Ukrainian government investigations into Mykola Zlochevsky.


Hunter calls Biden. Biden goes to Ukraine a few days later and demands Shokin to be fired.
In the backdrop of the favorable stance by state dept and EU in Dec 2015, Biden strikes a different tune. Hint hint (bribe).


This article goes further based on laptop from hell emails. Shows in 2014 Hunter was appointed and was involved in helping Burisma, role not fully clarified.
Picks up in 2015 when Shokin is appointed General prosecutor and reopens the 2014 investigation of Burisma owner squirreling $23m in foreign accounts

New motion filed by Fani Willis confirms that Lin Wood has flipped on Trump and the 18 co-defendants in the Trump RICO case and is cooperating with prosecutors.

In a statement to Rolling Stone, Wood said that he had been informed he was “going to be subpoenaed as a witness,” but had no other information on the matter.

Hours later, Wood wrote on Telegram that there is “NO TRUTH” to accusations that he “flipped” on the former president. “I have no idea why I am being asked to testify at the trial. I have had no discussions with the DA’s office since I testified before the special grand jury several months ago,” he added.

IjeBos:
The Judge accepts a deal, declines to accept or asks for more briefings if she has issues. In this case she asked for more briefings and was clear that she wasn't accepting or declining the deal. The only thing you are close to right on is that in asking questions the Judge allowed the Prosecution to 1.) lie about the FARA immunity and 2.)get out of the deal that they had negotiated with one of the Top Law Firms in the US because they had been politically pressured to. Again, the deal had included broad immunity for the FARA charges based on the emails between Hunter's attorneys and the Government. The Government could have told the truth that it did include immunity and the Judge would have accepted the agreement when the language of the diversion program had been fixed.

You don't understand half the concepts you're referring to and are here trying to lecture people on it.
Your understanding of double jeopardy is idiotic. It's like saying someone who got a plea deal for a murder charge is immune from all future murders.

But, my fault. I knew better than engaging you in anything substantive.
1. The prosecution lied.
2. There was political pressure
to let Hunter walk free?

I'm sure she telepathically struck down the deal so it wasn't in the court transcript. You shouldn't hang around people where tellign the truth gets you in trouble(aka slyfooxx, benalvino). There's a good passage about iron sharpening iron you should refer to.

If you want to participate in this class you have to do the homework as assigned. Here is the homework again below. And for you I'll add another assignment.

3. (for basilico) Show me from either the plea deal or courtroom transcript, where the deal said "future crimes will be be ignored". I will not accept any other source discussing what the plea deal said.
If someone saw your girlfriend half naked in bed with another man, he can as well report that he found them smack in the middle of the act. In such a case what other proof would you need. 4K video?
I've extrapolated that kind of exageration to the plea deal.In


Hunter plea deal would have given him immunity over FARA, a fact the prosecution said investigation was going on. To which the defence protested saying the other investigation was part of the plea deal. In other words Hunter was absolved of any other crime through double jeopardy.

Ahh, you've moved on after basilico of all people had to tell you you were wrong (even though he was only 75% right himself) abou hit the judge striking down the deal. How does that feel? If I have lice brains and am clearly smarter than you, what's inside your brains? lol

I gave you a homework assignment to help you evaluate if it was a sweetheart deal. You clearly didn't do the assignment and are still using a word you don't understand and were propagandized to believe. Here it is again. In order to say something was a sweetheart deal, you invariable have to be able to compare the deal to a deal wasn't a sweetheart deal.
Seriously I did not contradict Bemeruca. I ridiculed your nonsensical argument of proof when words were spoken. The underlying meaning of what I wrote was that the judge didn't have to say it, she scattered the plea deal to the winds.
Too bad, were you taught Latin in Chinese language?
Sweetheart deal. When your past crimes are forgiven And the future ones to be ignored, in Latin is that not a sweetheart deal.

Impeachment first hearing on 28th Sep. Subpoena for Hunter bank records to be issued this week. Trump was ordered as POTUS to hand out his remember. Joe will also have to. His brother James Biden is even worse , he had never built a Trump tower in his life.He won a $1.5B tender to do some housing project during the Reconstruction of Iraq. As soon as JB became the vice president. Those are facts

And you can explain why the flowing people got money wired from China, Russia, Ukraine and Romania. Only after Biden became VP. Would you also not want to know...Esp after a Chinese baloon overflew continental America including a nuclear missile base.

I said the judge struck down the deal. No one ever said she uttered that word but ijebos the guy with the mental capacity of a lice want to win argument by asking a stupid question.

The judge made clear that she will not accept the deal they brought to her and they have to clarify what they really mean. She gave them a chance to do that. Guess what happened? Hunter is not getting a sweet heart deal anymore. Instead he is being indicted.
Context is key. The deal failed because the judge saw through it.
The judge wanted clarification on the immunity part whether, there was to be further investigations. The prosecution said yes. Hunter's lawyer shot up and implied there was to be full immunity of every other crime (including child abuse )
Hunter had ever committed or would ever commit after the trial.
I don't see any political pressure here.They were running cover for Hunter, she could not go along with it

By not saying she struck down the deal, the judge scattered the deal to the winds. Context you see is king.

With impeachment inquiry, Weiss cannot be subpoenad because he is Special Counsel investigating Hunter .That is more cover-up for the Biden crimes.

Yes, propaganda piece. And to make my point, I found the document both you and the NY post piece relied on. And it's worse than I expected.
Here it is:
Sixth Progress Report on the Implementation by Ukraine of the Action Plan on Visa Liberalisation
https://www.eumonitor.eu/9353000/1/j4nvirkkkr58fyw_j9vvik7m1c3gyxp/vk036jhcb1zg

This is what the report is on, Action plan on Visa Liberalisation:


As I said, how many times was Shokin's actual name mentioned? 0
And the 2 mentions of General Prosectors office?
-"On 30 November, the General Prosecutor appointed the head of the specialised anti-corruption prosecution."
-"A specialised unit to coordinate investigations into money laundering and terrorism financing was set up on 2 September 2015 in the Department of Supervision in Criminal Proceedings of the Prosecutor General."
The dates man, you bumhead. Sep 2015 😗Shokin was the Prosecutor General. He set up the unit that went after Burisma , marking him as a threat to be neutralized.


It should be now clear why the NY Post didn't link the article. And again even clearer why you are the idiot you are.

Whenever you write a post I'm thankful I went to good schools that was thought how to think critically. You saw my posts, I included links and quotes and I try to include1st hand sources (i.e. the actual pdf of the State Dep. briefing Biden received).
But you? You went online, googled Burisma, found the first article that aligned with what you thought and basically wrote verbatim what you found in the article.
Here is the article. (I found it by putting a couple of your lines in your post in google)
https://nypost.com/2023/09/08/despite-bidens-claim-europeans-werent-trying-to-oust-ukraine-prosecutor-targeting-hunters-firm/
And it was clearly written as a propaganda piece that you swallowed and regurgitated. What's the first tell. It's the NY Post.

So, where is this EU report your post is largely based on? Did you read it? Did you see the Shokin's name mentioned when they were praising the reforms? Or is that what the article told you it said? Are you just taking the word of whomever wrote the article? And then expecting me to take your word on it? In fact I'm 100% sure it doesn't mention Shokin by name. That's the difference between you and I. I would have found that report and read it myself, to make sure it said what the article said it said, before talking about it. And that's the reason you're an idiot who repeatedly falls prey to Right Wing propaganda.



That you posted this, wow. There is a huge logical flaw in what you wrote. Figure it out and you may be smarter than a 5th grader. I'll check in to see if you figured it out and thus figured out how ridiculous what you wrote is.

That happened AFTER Shokin was fired. Lol.
Please, stop type typing and figure out your own conspiracy.
You been answered but still cooking up theories.

Nuland had praised Ukraine efforts before Joe Biden received a bribe and changed State position in Shokin.



Victoria Nuland, the State Department’s top point person on Ukraine at the time, even sent Shokin a letter that summer praising the prosecutor for his work combating corruption in the former Soviet republic.

“We have been impressed with the ambitious reform and anti-corruption agenda of your government,” Nuland writes in the June 2015 letter.

“The challenges you face are difficult, but not insurmountable. You have an historic opportunity to address the injustices of the past by vigorously investigating and prosecuting corruption cases and recovering assets stolen from the Ukrainian people. The ongoing reform of your office, law enforcement, and the judiciary will enable you to investigate and prosecute corruption and other crimes in an effective, fair, and transparent manner.”


All, thank you for a productive meeting yesterday. Please find a SOC below. It was agreed: The IPC concluded that (1) Ukraine has made sufficient progress on its reform agenda to justify a third guarantee and (2) Ukraine has an economic need for the guarantee and it is in our strategic interest to provide One,” former White House Director of International Economic Affairs Christina Segal-Knowles wrote to government officials advising the Interagency Policy Committee in September 2015.

“As such, the IPC recommends moving forward with a third loan guarantee for Ukraine in the near‐term, noting State/F’s preference to issue the guarantee as late as possible to allow more clarity on the budget context and Embassy Kyiv and Treasury’s assessment that Ukraine needs the guarantee by end‐2015,” she added.






See that .By end 2015 loan guarantee approved before Joe Biden snout shows up to demand Shokin firing

Archer is repeating what he was told by Bursima's board before Shokin was fired. The Burisma board did NOT want Shokin to be fired, because they "neutralized him". That's why the investigation was dormant. If they fired Shokin (the corrupt prosecutor), the new prosecutor may reopen the investigation.

The Burisma owner had his property confiscated, he never went back to Ukraine.

I'll repost it again for you.
Context is a problem for you. Shokin was taken care of. Threat neutralized.
How hard is that? Getting rid of Shokin was bad? Because he was investigating them, for JB the brand to be the one behind the scheme because everyone knew why they got rid of Shokin.

Shokin threat was blunted? That would be a threat to clear Burisma of any corruption.
It looks bad for them don't you think if they have to bribe JB with 5m to get rid of Shokin

Fact check:

Below is a clip from the mental midget's own post above. Burisma did not want him fired, because they probably paid him off already. Again, Shokin was corrupt. Which is why US policy was to get rid of him. Getting rid if him would have gotten Burisma a new prosecutor and a "non-dormant" investigation.



Really, how do you function in real life?
Really I quoted sworn testimony. Regardless Devon Archer was being paid 83.3k per month same as Hunter.
You are a slob. He revealed a lot of Biden corruption in sworn testimony as a
Board Member of Burisma, Business partner of Hunter.

You believe wapo instead.
Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by basilico: 10:27pm On Sep 18, 2023
IjeBos:
Fact Check
1.) Shokin (the Ukrainian Prosecutor General) was not investigating Burisma at the time he was fired. That was the problem, he wasn't investigating corruption. Because he was corrupt. So removing him would have brought in a prosecutor who would investigate corruption.
2.) The EU and the US State Department wanted him gone. Obama was the president and Biden was sent to deliver the message for the policy Obama's State Dept wanted. In fact some Republican Senators wrote a letter in support of the policy. The goal was to reduce corruption in Ukraine so that they could get EU membership and/or the US could give them more aid.
3.) Your argument is somehow, Hunter paid the EU, Obama, Secretary of State and some Republican Senators to get rid of a prosecutor that wasn't investigating Burisma and advocate for one who would?
4.) But don't believe me. Listen to super conservative (Freedom Caucus member, the caucus of all those leftists (Boebert, Gaetz and formerly MTG) Republican Ken Buck on Fox News on Sunday.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Dtq8bUxdo

You are what a dullard, inhaling right wing propaganda sounds like.
Liar. Shokin was investigating Burisma before he was fired. Devon Archer confirmed that in his testimony. Shokin had seized the Burisma owner properties..Note Devon Archer was a board member of Burisma together with Hunter Biden, appointed in early or mid 2015.

[b]

first son’s former business partner Devon
Archer confirmed in an interview released
Friday.
“He was a threat. He ended up seizing assets
of Burisma owner Nikolai Zlochevsk a
house, some cars, a couple properties. And
Nikolai actually never went back to Ukraine
after Shokin seized all of his assets,” Archer
told former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
“It certainly wasn’t made clear to us at the
board level… that [getting Shokin fired] was a
favor to be done,” Archer said.
Carlson pressed, “Joe Biden knew that his son
was on the board of this company that was
being hassled by the prosecutor whose firing
he was calling for —”

“Right,” Archer said.

Archer testified that Ukrainian natural
gas company Burisma Holdings added
Hunter Biden to its board because of the
Biden “brand,” and paid Hunter up to $1
million a year.
“Burisma would have gone out of
business if ‘the brand’ had not been
attached to it,” Archer claimed.
Archer testified that Hunter Biden
referred to his father Joe as “my guy” and
connected him to foreign

Within Burisma, Archer said that executives
told board members that Shokin was “already
taken care of, which he interpreted as
meaning his threat was blunted.
“That was the narrative that was fed to the
board,” Archer said. We were told that his
ouster was bad. We don’t want a new
prosecutor, Shokin was taken care

[/b]

At the same time memo by State Department indicated in Dec 2015 that they were satisfied with Ukraine corruption investigations and we're OK with releasing 1B aid.
That was days before JB threatened to stop the aid if Shokin was not fired.


See how the media lies to you. Here is Shokin interview excerpt with Fox. NYT , factcheck and Wapo as usual tried to prove these as unfounded claims.



I do not want to deal in unproven facts, but
my firm personal conviction is that, yes, this
was the case. They were being bribed,” Shokin
told host Brian Kilmeade. “And the fact that
Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in US money
in exchange for my dismissal, my firing, isn’t
that alone a case of corruption?”
An FBI informant file released last month
recorded claims by Zlochevsky that he was
“coerced” into paying Joe and Hunter $5
million each to ward off the probe from Kyiv’s
top law enforcement official.

I agree with you. Boebert should be held accountable for her own actions. I have a feeling she will lose her next primary but that is on her. I don’t see how that’s an indictment of the entire Republican Party. Yes the party is generally guided by Judeo-Christian principles but at the end of the day humans fall short. And every human should be held responsible for their actions individually.

The fact these liberals see this as a big win for them is hilarious. But as you said they are not true liberals. They are just political opportunists. A true liberal will stand up against slut shaming a woman. But these internet liberals are basking in it just because it’s a conservative. And it’s not like she has nudes or sex tapes like Hunter Biden ooooo. That one is okay to them lol. Silly hypocrites.

But they cannot get footage of who left cocaine in the white house.

And the fact that ONE conservative does something silly in her personal life means the entire party must be held accountable for it? Because she’s a child right? Lol. I can’t get the logic.

They are just desperate for any type of republican scandal to distract from the fact that their president is currently imploding all over the place.

And for the last time not every conservative is religious. There is a religious wing of the party no doubt but I have explained it many times before that the Republican Party is a multi-faction party. There are Many non-religious and even socially liberal Republicans.
These liberals are not really out and out liberals. They only support the causes that favour them which are liberal like black victim mentality, freebies from the west, free abortions to cover their promiscuity and so on.
With the coming of Trump, they hold some positions on many matters simply because they hate him and his supporters.

Boebert is a case brought about by her own behavior What she did does not apply across the board to everyone.
Conservativism is really about going on with long practiced ideals and traditions, which worked and which to the western world are mostly rooted in Judeo Xtian values. Liberals want to upend societal norms wth their perceived utopia. Sort of reshaping the world to be 'modern'. Some people will rather stick to their traditions which are not always religious in nature. For instance respecting your elders. Or bringing up disciplined children.

There is evidence that Joe Biden was complicit in his son Hunter's corrupt business dealings in Ukraine when Biden was Vice President.
Hunter Biden was paid lavishly to serve on the board of Burisma, a shady Ukrainian energy company, likely to sell access to his father.
After Hunter joined Burisma, the company asked him to use his influence to get Ukraine to halt an investigation into Burisma and its founder.
Hunter contacted Joe Biden on behalf of Burisma. Soon after, Biden pressured Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating Burisma.
This was a clear conflict of interest and abuse of power by Joe Biden to help his son's business interests.
Biden helped cover up the scandal by approving a statement denying wrongdoing.
A politician concerned about propriety would have condemned and stopped these corrupt dealings, but Joe Biden tolerated and participated in them.

These are all facts
Bemeruca, Very correct. Someone here is seething that you are spewing lies about the honorable Biden family.
To add to this Ukraine firing of Shokin the Ukraine prosecutor. This is for the benefit of these Biden supporters including the coon.

FBI was briefed by a Confidential Source of theirs that Burisma owner was forced to part with a $10 million bribe to the Bidens, $5 m each to Joe and Hunter. He has 17 recordings of phone conversations with the Bidens, 15 with Hunter and 2 with Biden. And He paid the bribe through convoluted shell companies that would take years to uncover. Joe Biden threatened to block $1 B of aid to Ukraine if Shokin was not fired. And Joe bragged about it , video available.

---Boebert will surely be primaried---someone who only won her seat by 500 votes---A good representation of the GOP---a party known for their family values---
More or less smelling like a political hit.

A grandma at 36 going through a divorce after 18 years of marriage goes out on a date.
Her date is Democrat who owns a bar. Bar is pro gay and is known to host drag shows.
I doubt she knew much about her date Or maybe twas one of those days when people just decide to do crazy things.

Footage focus on her would be triggered if she had attempted to use a camera in the theatre, which she did.
Footage of her and her date is quickly released and is top news.

We are yet to see any footage of cameras outside the cell Epstein epsteined himself. We are yet to see relevant footage of the Steve Paddock who killed 58 people fand injured hundreds others rom the balcony of a high end hotel.

Based on media reports ie the real media not the evil propaganda media, the information out there is enough to send JB to Gitmo.

A new 2005 video released by GOP shows JB hosting a function accompanied by not his spouse but Hunter. He invites Hunter to greet some couple,The guy offers Hunter his card After Hunter says he had dished out all his business cards..
“Maybe we can work something out,” Joe
Biden says to the couple in the video.
“Yeah, yeah, that is what we will do,” the
woman excitedly.
“Hunter was just telling me about his law firm
in Washington, his law firm,” replies the man
next to her.

They move away to talk in private, while JB keeps the lady busy.
Says nothing, but clearly Joe was using his position to help his son's grifting business.

The GOP will crumble. Texas AG had been impeached by the Republicans but has been acquitted and reinstated by the senate. Bogus charges brought on by Bush and Karl Rove friends in Texas house. He handily beat a Bush in the election for AG

Another persecution of Trump supporters. Paxton had filed a petition to Supreme Court case in 2020 plus 17 other state AGs , but we're denied for "lack of standing".

Ironically the one Democrat who I believe would easily wipe the floor with Trump in a general election is Bernie Sanders but the DNC is too corrupt to ever allow a populist like him win their nomination like Trump did in the Republican Party.

They rigged Bernie out the primaries TWICE in favour of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, two of the most swampy and corrupt establishment politicians in Washington.
About this Kennedy Jr. They arrested an armed guy with a federal badge pretending to his detail.
Biden has not given him Secret Service protection .

There's no political come back anywhere. Trump will loose like he lost in 2020 presidential election.

Trump popularity is only growing within his bigoted maga base.

70% of his popularity came from uneducated and undereducated white men with no jobs and college degree. This are the type of people that supports Trump.

Emotional, poor, and bigoted whitemen who feels that minorities and immigrants are more rich and successful than them. These are the people that supports Trump.

Biden may not that popular. But one and one with Trump. He will beat Trump again like he did in 2020 election.

Trump is a bigoted loser that will not rest till he destroy America. But he will be defeated in 2024 again.

A Shameful incompetent ex president who does not respect the will of American people but respect autocratic foreign leaders.
I would not mind if you explained how to destroy America. The actions of omission and commission intended to destroy America.

You sound very confused about your personal theology and theology in general.
But maybe you are not. Maybe you are using religion the way a lot of people try to use it.. to oppress others.
You learnt your lessons well. Hold an (im)moral position. Accuse those who hold a moral position of going against what they preach.
In other words projection at its finest. Straight from Saul Alinsky. Obama and Clinton mentors.
Hillary thesis was based on Saul Alinsky..

I guess it depends on your definition of religious. So, if you have 3 wives (break 2 covenants), steal from children's charities, repeatedly lie and rape/sexual harass women, buy say you a religious, then you are religious?

I see you dodged my question. "What tenants of the New Testament do you think conservatives emulate?".
I would.not talk of whatever they follow. Every individual has his own interpretation. I have not seen Bobert preaching water while drinking wine.
Again it's her life.
The worst are people who want to enforce norms previously unknown to the population. Cancelling others for not going along. I think you know what I mean.

Could bigamy be against religious law or national law over there?
