Sell Trump campaign data to the Russians, although tobe fair that was probably legal.  Did Podesta cheat on his taxes?

He didn’t sell it to him.  What would he want to buy polling data for.  He showed it to him in aspiration of being hired, like it was a portfolio - here’s what I’ve done, and you should hire me.  He was about as much Ukrainian as Russian.  Not a lot of difference, you know. 
Most assuredly, and failed to register with FARA, also.

That is not a good start.  That is a horrible start!  Insane amount of evidence presented and cross examined against the convicted felons but zero - nothing - presented as evidence of weaponized government.

You get the feeling you’re standing in a room with a bunch of people cheering on Steve Bannon and MTG up on stage with microphones?

“Most assuredly, and failed to register with FARA, also.”  This is pertaining to the Podestas.  
 

In the meantime, 40 FBI reports showing bribery and corruption by biden family.  Investigation shut down.  No SWAT teams.  Nothing to see here, folks.

So did Podesta cheat on his taxes?  Manafort did.  That is the discussion.

MAGA has a whole congressional subcommittee going to investigate all that other stuff.  They have nothing presented anywhere but news conferences.  That'll fade away and they'll feed MAGAville different but equally salacious and unsubstantiated stories soon enough.

Remember when they wanted to throw Trump in jail for asking Ukraine’s Zalensky about the dirt on Biden?

Id like to have seen them move those NYC and DC trials to Lawton, OK and see how they turned out.

The question was and is "what did managirt do that podesta didn't?"

Did podesta cheat on his taxes?  Manafort did, amongst other things.

Isn't Jim Jordan leading a House Judiciary Committee investigation into the Bidens?

Surely if there is a problem Biden will face impeachment. Biden will also potentially face impeachment if there is not a problem.

But if Biden does not face impeachment it surely means Jordan could not produce even the flimsiest of excuses to impeach.

Jordan and Comer have been obstructed at every step, and now McCarthy is out of the way.  Stay tuned.

You’re not wearing blinders, you’ve got your eyes, and mind, closed.  If you get different verdicts based on trial venue, then it’s not a fair trial.  Federal law is Federal law, except in DC.

Can you give an example of obstruction?

I am aware of Jordan's attempts to obstruct the Georgia and NY investigations into Trump and his attempts to more broadly obstruct through the creation of a "weaponization of government" panel, but I am unaware of attempts to obstruct Jordan's investigation. Add on top of that Jordan is not the bashful sort.

Or is this you setting up your excuses for what you worry will be failure?

I can’t imagine where you get your news, but Id bet you can perform a search - just don’t use gugel.  But there have been numerous requests and subpoenas for records that the DOJ and FBI wouldn’t turn over, some even went to the point of contempt charges being threatened.

No beaches, mountains or trips on LSD in MAGAville.  Just a place where the right kind of man can shoot somebody in broad daylight and get away with it.  ⁦34°35'52"N⁩ ⁦98°23'42"W⁩

I was hoping it was close to Margaritaville.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

The first link has to do with the work of the House Oversight Committee and how much money the Taliban syphons off from US Aid. Yes, the word obstruct is used in tje article, but this isn't in reference to Jordan's impeachment investigation.

The second is in relation to a foreign affairs committee request for details behind the Afghan after action report. Not even an investigation, never mind Jordan's investigation. But again the word obstruction appears.

The third link makes a compelling argument that Hunter Biden committed tax crimes, and uses the lack of a direct link to Joe Biden to intuit that obstruction must be happening. But the lack of evidence is not evidence. If there is an impeachable offense there then have at it. But making an argument to the public is neccessarily one sided. Making an argument in court is very different. I will wait on the court (House investigation) to conclude.
