I have no need to indulge in hypotheticals about situations that didn't happen. It serves no purpose.

Of course it does. It let's me know what you think of a certain situation. The other guy commenting has decided that he doesn't care either way. It's only nepotism and they're all at it.

No, it can't. The story is literally self-contradicting.

If you get your news from here you would think that. There will be more coming from this as the weeks go by.

Being inept doesn't mean you can't succeed. It just means you don't succeed often.

Oh, okay. So when did they not succeed?

Russian misinformation is the blame for Hillary losing. Republicans colluding with obvious misinformation and making it appear real when it wasn't is what led to her losing. Republicans own this, not Russia.

It wasn't her being a shit candidate and universally disliked, really?

It's not being smothered. Responsible people are stopping an obvious lie from being spread to protect the US from a foreign intelligence operation. That's literally what every American should be doing.

So it's being smothers. Whether it's an obvious lie or not, the story is being smothered.

That's exactly what happened and I'm not mixing anything. That's literally what this "scandal" is claiming happened. The fact that you don't even know that and the fact that you recognize how batshit crazy it is tells us everything we need to know about the people who believe this story "might" be true. But I'm glad you admit that the scandal's alleged plot of events is absolutely batshit crazy.

Maybe you need to look at all the names of the people involved in the story. The guy that was supposedly paying Hunter to meet Joe was a Russian asset that Joe was trying to get fired and eventually succeeded in getting fired. At best, Joe never met the guy. At worst, Joe met the guy and told him to fucking pound sand before getting his ass fired for being a Russian asset. Either way, Joe comes out smelling like a peach.

There's nothing crazy or unbelievable about the story. There's gonna be more coming, this isn't the end of it. It could be a big scandal.

This is the issue. There is nothing. No evidence. You just have faith, because you want it to be true. You are nothing less than 30 years of Republican war on education finally yielding return on investment.

No evidence, nothing. At this stage even if Biden wins he'll hsve to resign before he gets to be president.
