Yet another example of the MSM apparently unable to recall their own previous reporting.

Right - it’s extraordinary. There’s supposedly no information to suggest the laptop information is “verified” - yet they already uncovered the bulk of what it confirmed previously independently - almost a year and a half ago.

If he’s smart he will keep his trap shut or take the Fifth Amendment. He is in serious trouble. What is another term for selling out your country? I call it treason.

in Stahl “interrogation”, Trump referenced “60 Minutes” soft questions to Biden.
this was recorded during phony impeachment trial, which could have been stopped in its tracks, if the truth of the Bidens/Ukraine had been made public:

27 Oct 2019: CBS 60 Minutes: Joe Biden defends his son Hunter’s Ukraine dealings, answers for his gaffes in 60 Minutes interview
The former vice president also calls on President Trump to release his tax returns, and explains why his children won’t have White House offices
Correspondent: Norah O’Donnell
CBS: The skirmishes within the Democratic Party have been overshadowed recently by questions of foreign interference in the upcoming election. This past Monday, Facebook announced it removed fake Russian accounts on social media that attacked Joe Biden. The news broke the day before we spoke with Biden and his wife Jill, who joined us for part of our interview

Norah O’Donnell: The Russians are targeting you.
Joe Biden: The Russians don’t want me to be president and Trump doesn’t want me— me—...
Joe Biden: —to be the nominee. There’s certain things that come across very, very clearly.
Norah O’Donnell: I mean, how concerned are you about foreign interference in this election?
Joe Biden: I’m very concerned about foreign interference, beyond me. Everybody knows what’s going on. Trump not only doesn’t wanna do anything about it he’s going out and asking for help. Come help me. Come help me defeat— keep Biden from bein’ the nominee—
Jill Biden: He’s perpetuating.
Norah O’Donnell: How is he perpetuating it?
Jill Biden: Well, by encouraging them to— you know, to get involved in our elections.
Norah O’Donnell: But President Trump says Russian interference is a hoax.
Joe Biden: He’s an idiot— in terms of sayin’ that. Everybody knows this. Everybody knows it. Nobody doubts it.

CBS: While Facebook removed the fake Russian accounts, it refused a request by Biden’s campaign to take down political ads paid for by the Trump campaign making claims that Biden says are not true.

Joe Biden: Facebook is running, right now, paid advertising by Trump that everybody knows is a flat lie. You know, I’m glad they brought the Russians down. Why don’t you bring down the lies that Trump is telling and everybody knows are lies?
Norah O’Donnell: Are you concerned that the president saying this over and over again, his campaign ads saying over and over again, that people will start to believe it? He’s attacking your integrity.
Joe Biden: Sure he is. And— but it’s comin’ from a man with no integrity so it helps. (LAUGH) No, I— I sincerely mean it. I— I never thought I’d talk about a president this way...

CBS: And the president continues to argue there should be an investigation into Hunter Biden’s work for a Ukrainian gas company called Burisma during the time his father was vice president and overseeing U.S. policy in Ukraine. Hunter Biden was reportedly paid $50,000 to $80,000 a month for several years while serving on Burisma’s board.

Norah O’Donnell: Hunter said the only thing you said to him was, quote, “I hope you know what you’re doing.”
Joe Biden: That’s exactly right. He’s a grown—...
Joe Biden: —man. What I meant by that is I hope you’ve thought this through. I hope you know exactly what you’re doin’ here.

Norah O’Donnell: Meaning what?
Joe Biden: That’s all I meant. Nothing more than that because I’ve never discussed my business or their business, my sons’ or daughter’s. And I’ve never discussed them because they know where I have to do my job and that’s it and they have to make their own judgments.

Norah O’Donnell: But you understand people say, “Joe Biden, he’s an experienced politician, statesman, knows the issues of Ukraine. Why didn’t he just say to his son, ‘this is one to take a pass on. It may not look good’”?
Joe Biden: He was already on the board. And he’s a grown man. And it turns out he did not do a single thing wrong, as everybody’s investigated.

Norah O’Donnell: President Trump has said publicly, “Joe Biden and his son are stone cold corrupt.” And chances are, he’s watching this interview. Anything—...
Norah O’Donnell: —you wanna say to him?
Joe Biden: Yeah. Mr. President, release your tax returns. Let’s see how straight you are, okay old buddy? I put out 21 years of mine. So show us your tax returns, bud— wh— what are you hiding? You wanna deal with corruption? Start to act like it. Release your tax returns or shut up.

CBS: The general election is more than a year away, but on the campaign trail you wouldn’t know it, listening to President Trump and his son Eric attack Hunter Biden at rallies, where crowds chant, “lock him up.”

Norah O’Donnell: Are you sorry you dragged your family into this?
Joe Biden: Oh, I d— I— I’m not sorry— look, w— we-
Jill Biden: We didn’t drag them into it. I mean, they-...
Jill Biden: —they came to us. You know, you have to run. They knew it was gonna be rough.
Norah O’Donnell: Do you believe President Trump’s children have acted properly and avoided conflicts of interest?
Joe Biden: I wasn’t raised to go after the children. Their actions speak for themselves. I can just tell you this, that if I’m president get elected president my children are not gonna have offices in the White House. My children are not gonna sit in on Cabinet meetings.
Norah O’Donnell: What’s improper about that?
Joe Biden: It’s just simply improper because you should make it clear to the American public that everything you’re doing is for them. For them. And the idea that you’re gonna have his children his— son-in-law, et cetera, engaged in the day-to-day operation of things they know nothing about.

Norah O’Donnell: You don’t think that Jared Kushner should be negotiating a Middle East peace solution?
Joe Biden: No, I don’t. (LAUGH) I don’t. What— what credentials does he bring to that?...

The issue is not about Hunter’s activities. It’s about Joe using Hunter as the bag man for his looting of American.

Now, it's "foreign work"?

Good. Now they can bring it up during the debate about foreign policy.
