Couldn’t agree with you more, FRiend.

There’s a certain class of female that takes delight in bringing accusations against such males as displease them.

Usually, these are female of the leftist variety. So, conservative men need to be extra careful.

I’m more than willing to let Slow Joe slide on this accusation. After all, there are so many other reasons to despise him as the political hack he has always been.

Plugs skates. 😫

One would think, but maybe they have changed their statutes of limitation. I just don't know. But if the statutes of limitation have passed then I would have thought they would have announced that already.

I didn't really follow the case with Harvey Weinstein, how old were the claims against him?

[Lurkinanloomin]

It’s under investigation the same way Seth Rich’s murder is under investigation.

[punknpuss]

I was thinking the same. Don’t the SOL apply in sexual assault?

[libertylover]

So why spend taxpayer dollars on an investigation if it can’t lead to a prosecution? Plus, 1993?

[Robert DeLong]

Probably. 8>)

This is a March 26th story from Ukraine. I happened on it yesterday while surfing foreign sites and wonder why it hasn't been posted on FR. What happens to Biden if this becomes known?? "Member of the Parliament of Ukraine Andrii Derkach (independent MP) invited former US Vice President Joseph Biden to Ukrainian court to answer questions related to Burisma Gas Company. As Derkach wrote on his Facebook page, Burisma defends in court the honor and dignity of one of the leaders of the US Democratic Party, former US Vice President Joe Biden. “Once again: the company of the runaway minister (from the time of the presidency of Viktor – IF-U) Yanukovych defends the dignity of an American politician – a candidate‎ for the highest state post in the States ... it makes sense to interrogate the participants of this high-profile international democorruption scandal. Therefore, Biden and his son Hunter (one of Burisma top managers) were summoned to court" Derkach wrote, disclosing the scan copy of the statement. According to the MP, there are many questions to Biden. “I invite Joseph to personally talk about how he took $900 thousand for the services provided. I think we will hear a lot of interesting things about what kind of services it was. How Biden pressured Ukraine, manipulating $1 billion in United States loan guarantees. How he got Shokin fired. What other amounts have been received. What was so important that his son Hunter did for the company that he received millions. There are many questions" Derkach wrote. He also assumed that the Bidens will not fly to Ukraine. “Therefore, I suggest interrogating them in a videoconference mode. I think that for one of the key candidates for the presidency of the United States from the Democratic Party, it should be a matter of honor to personally give explanations to the court about his actions. Democorruption must be investigated. Even if it is led by top US politicians" Derkach summed up. Earlier, Derkach, referring to files of the investigation in a number of criminal proceedings, claimed that former US Vice President Joe Biden received $900 thousand for lobbying activities from the Burisma Group oil and gas company. At a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine News Agency on October 9, 2019, the Member of the Parliament disclosed these documents, stressing that the criminal proceedings describe the mechanism for receiving money by Joe Biden.

I think I’m looking at this at a little different angle than others.

“This is an active, ongoing investigation, and there are no further details to provide at this time,”

The DC Police can use this “active investigation” to grab up anything that might be embarrassing to Creepy Joe and lock it in some basement, uh, I mean evidence room.

We have a two tiered criminal justice system, folks. Biden is completely safe from any prosecution but if you or I try to go on a trip during this corona virus dictatorship, we will be fined, jailed, and lose our livelihood.

Think about that.

Conveniently, the paperwork documenting her report to the Senate when it occurred has disappeared, IIRC.

True - but if it is only allowed against conservatives, we just handed them a bunch of ammo that we will not use even though they use it at every turn...to defeat an enemy, you have to be able, and willing, to out-fight that enemy...even down in the muck.

[Dr. Sivana]

to defeat an enemy, you have to be able, and willing, to out-fight that enemy...even down in the muck.

If this woman is credible, we can certainly let her tell her story. I am certainly for airing the legitimate grievances of Juanita Brodderick. I just don't want to make it a case for criminal charges because it happened 26 years ago. We reserve that sort of term for certain real Nazis, murderers and those who don't pay their student loans.

[trebb]

I concede your facts...but when we opt to sit back when we know something the enemy does will be buried, while proven specious attacks by them gets wall-to-wall coverage, we have already lost...we just haven’t come to the table to sign the papers of surrender....yet.
