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: It's clear there's a whitewash going on such that the NPC's and serially dishonest shills can claim there was no There There. Any digging for 5 minutes would have shown...

Desperate much?

From your link: The revelation that the First Son and Burisma are linked to a bank accused of flouting money laundering rules, comes after claims made by a longstanding FBI informant revealed this month by lawmakers...

Former AG Bill Barr had that information forever ago and found it so unreliable and worthless that he wouldn't even open an inquiry based upon it. I think the word Barr would most likely use to describe this accusation is, in a typical Bill Barr word, bullsh!t.

Here, I addressed this nonsense upthread but will give it to you again:

First, a reminder: William Barr's Justice Department in 2020 investigated secondhand claims by an FBI informant that an executive at Burisma had recordings of conversations that he claimed to have made or wanted to make a bribe to Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. There's no evidence that these conversations actually document a bribe or as multiple Republicans have admitted, whether they even exist.

In any event, based on what he saw Barr declined to even launch an investigation.


Barr ran down this particular stupid but there was no evidence these conversations ever happened, no evidence to support the informants claims, and no evidence that any of the recordings or documents even exist.

But kudos for reaching into the venerable Daily Mail as a source. Did they mention anything about aliens landing here?

Well done.
