President Donald Trump blasted rival Joe Biden's family after new emails said to be from Hunter Biden's laptop were revealed, calling the family 'grifters.'
Trump used the 'grifter' term – which critics including Rep. Adam Schiff recently applied to the president himself – following the release of emails that have unmasked some of Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine at a time when his father had an influential role with the country as vice president.
'They're crooks, they've always been crooks. They're grifters and crooks, and this is what we're running against,' Trump told the conservative NewsMax network. 'And it's a disgrace. It's a disgrace,' he continued.

Trump's comments stoked the story amid a furious denial by the Biden camp, even as his lawyer Rudy Giuliani was signaling days of additional revelations, and thousands of additional emails and photos.
The Washington Post first reported that the Justice Department had ended its probe into whether Obama administration officials improperly 'unmasked' associates of Trump mentioned in intelligence reoprts, two Congressional sources told Reuters Wednesday.
It found no wrongdoing, one of the sources said.
Unmasking refers to the naming of U.S. citizens whose identities were blacked out in reports from the National Security Agency that captured their communications with a foreign national.
Trump and his allies have sought to portray the use of the process during the administration of his Democratic predecessor, President Barack Obama, as a misuse of government authority.
It is a routine practice, and Trump administration officials have made thousands of such requests, government statistics show.
The Justice Department in May appointed John Bash, a federal prosecutor from Texas, to lead the inquiry after Republican senators unveiled a declassified list of U.S. officials who made requests that ultimately disclosed intercepted conversations between Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn and

“Do you?”
Why yes I do. Apparently, you do not. Your first paragraph belies your criticism. A great many people were singing Barr’s praises 7 days a week. Most of them have solid Conservative credentials and are greatly admired by many rank and file conservatives. Telling everyone to be patient Barr will come through.
So, how is it Trump’s fault that he, to use your words, turned out to be Swampy?
Is Trump supposed to be clairvoyant?
I suppose he could not possibly get any non-corrupt people confirmed. I use the term “corrupt” to mean people who never try to punish those on the left, while generally only going after people on the right.
Rudy is my choice.
I am thinking most of your post makes you an idiot.
20 days, then you can vote for your guy, Biden.
Some of the pea-brains on FR simply amaze me.
The other day I reminded someone here that Trump is not the
person who orders indictments. He does however have a brain
like the rest of us, and he has seen more than we have.
It is absolutely absurd that there have been no indictments
yet.
I think I would be safe to say there are at least 20 people
who know participated in an outright coup.
Barr and Durham are asleep at the switch.
and Gina Haspell. 3 for 3 there, Mr. President.
Trey Gowdy a young guy, who he if cared to, could have done some good in Congress. Instead, he retired to be a stupid news commentator. I put him, Jason Chaffetz, & Sean Duffy in the same category. All young-ish men, who decided to get rich, instead of doing good in Congress.
She had that “deer in the headlights” look about her on a softball Fox interview, but she sounded nervous and unsure of herself. Odd that she was considered a successful former prosecutor as she seems like a timid mouse.
President Trump should NOT have issued his release documents, un-redacted “order” via twitter.
Geez, why didn’t he write and release the order via executive order??
Bloviates that he's going to investigate and hold hearings but then didn't so squat.
And he's a bigger version of Lindsey because...Texas. Isn't everything bigger there ?
Change My Mind !
You and your compatriots hope so...
FR has sure changed in 22 years but you can still spot the shills and disruptors at a 1000 yards

Rudy wanted sec of state
.
DoJ is like a Dem Rally.
You have 95% activist Progressives.
And Barr thought these people were not going to let their Hate for Trump lead the Investigation(s). It was all very predictable.
Show me a Democrat that ever recuses themself. It’s a Democratic Scam, and only applies to Republicans.
‘
I don’t begrudge a man wanting to make money. He served and he left. A model citizen. But he was under an administration that severely limited what he could do.
I can simplify it, just for you. Firing Barr would hurt Trump on November 3. No votes to be gained, plenty to be lost.
The “everyone is out to get me” strategy is worn out.
There is a huge difference between being in a senate majority and a house minority. Trey did what he was supposed to do under a Obama administration: call things out. That is the extent of the power he had.
It was the American people that voted for Barkey the 2nd time. They chose their misery. Not him.

Today is the feast-day when Jesus Christ was baptized & today is the day that my father died, a minute before I ran into the hospital to say goodbye.
He was a coal miner & pastor of a small country church.
He trusted in the Lord & taught me to do the same.
Rest now, Daddy.

Today, the GOP finally all realized just how big of a problem Leftist control of Big Tech is for America. Tomorrow, when presented with possible solutions, the GOP won’t do a single thing to stop them.
The GOP is comfortable talking. It’s the doing they find impossible.

GOP: “How dare Big Tech engage in censorship of our viewpoints? They have become too powerful & can’t be trusted!”
Also GOP: “Big Tech is telling us there’s a shortage of high-skilled workers. We need to increase the cap on foreign work visas.”
Cut the theatrics.

The FBI/DOJ has enough evidence to investigate Hunter Biden today based on evidence published by the New York Post & we know that because FBI/DOJ had no problem using Yahoo News to verify the Steele dossier.

AG Bill Barr’s current score:
Peter Strozk: on a book tour
James Baker: deputy counsel at Facebook
Lisa Page: working at NBC News
Jim Comey: 2nd book tour
Bruce Ohr: retired with pension
Andy MCabe: working at CNN
The list goes on and on....
Too late. Firing him before the election doesn’t help him at all. Actually hurts him.
Theater. Excellent theater, scripted years ago and now choreographed by President Trump. Grab some popcorn.
