The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: ...the Obama administration's former stenographer.

Interesting.


So, there was a republican-led Senate investigation of Joe Biden and his work in Ukraine as vice president chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson, a close ally of President Donald Trump's, and the only witness the Homeland Security Committee called was Amos Hochstein who had discussed Burisma with Biden during his vice presidency.

Hochstein has told associates that he never changed U.S. policy because of Burisma and was never asked to do so and that Burisma never factored into any policy decisions around energy or Biden's advocacy for a new Ukrainian prosecutor general.

In fact, according to a former Obama administration official, Hochstein has told colleagues that the Obama administration sought to punish Burisma rather than protect it.


So where was McCormick during the entire Trump administration or during the 2020 presidential campaign?

Dope1: ...as astute observers of the news have known for years that Hunter Biden's Burisma ties were to get to his father and nothing else.

This has been addressed a million times. If influence peddling was illegal, the entire Trump brood would be behind bars along with dozens -- hundreds, thousands -- of relatives of former administration spouses, children, and in-laws from both political parties.

Dope1: Better put this guy on Epstein Watch. Especially before he talks to the grand jury!

Refresh our memories. Who was president -- and best buddy of Epstein -- when Epstein was in prison? And who was AG then?

Fat Don and Fat Bill.
