Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) pressured Republicans to name the specific crime they are accusing President Biden of as they proceed with their impeachment inquiry.
Ocasio-Cortez noted the recent arrest of a former FBI informant for lying to the agency, fabricating the claim that Biden accepted a bribe while vice president to take actions to benefit the Ukrainian energy company his son served on the board of.
“At this point, the story isn’t the fact that the basis of this impeachment inquiry is wrong. The story is, ‘Why it is proceeding anyway?’” she asked, saying Republicans have “no charges.”
“I have yet to hear in the chairman’s opening the allegation that they are specifically charging the president of the United States with. I am hearing about the ‘Biden family.’ I am hearing about this and that. I am not hearing the specific allegation by this committee. What is it? It is not here. And that is the problem,” she said.
Glad she calling them out. To bad she talking to a brick wall they don't care about charges they just want a distraction from all the bullshit they are doing.
I don't think she's really talking to them or expecting them to suddenly admit what they are doing and change their actions. I feel like she's moreso talking to the American people. I know personally it at least gives me a modicum of hope to see that there are still people who will stand up for what's right and call them out on the floor of Congress. It's certainly better than living in a world where no one challenges them anyway.
Yes. The whole thing is a sham, deliberately. They're trying tomqake an impeachment seem ridiculous and frivolous, to make the impeachment against Trump seem like a non-issue.
Remember, these are modern-day politicians. They're no longer interested in the truth. Only optics.
If the GOP truly wanted to big dick this, they'd pin Biden's ears for supporting Israel's genocide in violation of a litany of UN treaties.
But it can't be for anything real. It's always gotta be "Joe Biden snorted coke off his son's illegal immigrant during a trans pedophile abortion that raises your taxes."
He can't be held responsible for another country's actions. The US has supplied Israel long before Biden and will do so longer after. They are an ally for a reason. They have the power to help stop many nations if they decide to do something very rash.
He is holding a status quo that has been around for a long time. Should that change? Maybe. But he is not solely responsible for the inner workings of diplomacy for over 50 years.
But he can be held responsible for the US's actions.
The extant to which treaties carry weight under US law is untested. Congress tried going to court over this in Goldwater v Carter over Carter's withdrawal from the Sino-American mutual defense treaty. However, the Supreme Court dismissed the case as "unfit for judicial review".
Biden is also arguably violating the Foreign Assistance Act, which provides that:
Except under circumstances specified in this section, no security assistance may be provided to any country the government of which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.
However, the Senate voted 72-11 against attempying to enforce the relevent provisions in this case.
I actually visited that cancerous site, because I do like to keep up with what both sides are saying.
It was hard, but I did go and read the drivel and also watch the video.
I've got to say, folks, and who would've guessed it, but what they put on the page and what was in the video did not add up at all. AOC was asking the guy what specific charge they were bringing with them for the impeachment, and his first response was some smart ass thing. Okay, par for the course with these idiots, but I'll keep watching.
They'll get elected and then pass a law they know will arouse controversy, like abolishing Martin Luther King Day. They will use taxpayer dollars to defend the law while the Left has to spend donations that could have gone to other causes. They create a money drain for the Left, and the taxpayers foot the bill.
Seriously, one need only read a single paragraph of that page.
Under RICO, a person who has committed "at least two acts of racketeering activity" drawn from a list of 35 crimes (27 federal crimes and eight state crimes) within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering if such acts are related in one of four specified ways to an "enterprise."[1]
So they need to name two crimes in that category. In the world of legalese, this is honestly so easy to understand.
Now my thoughts on it: When I was in journalism class the biggest then they told us is that you don’t inject your own opinions. This article definitely does that.
Also, when people try to tell me how I should feel about something it becomes very clear to me that they think I’m stupid and they’re trying to manipulate me. Guess what else this article is doing!
I don’t understand how these people can claim to be “free-thinkers” while everyone else are “sheep” when it’s so clear how manipulative the media they consume is.
AOC: Tell me the specific crimes committed by Joe Biden!
Bobulinski: RICO and corruption statutes
AOC: I said tell me the specific crimes!
Bobulinski: I just did
AOC: [SCREAMS]
Like, all you need to do is watch the video they linked to see how bullshit that take is. Yet the forums I've seen with this article linked have conservatives cheering Bobulinski's "measured response" as if he wasn't bumbling though his answers because he has nothing.
I wish we could roll up the executive branch with an unspecified RICO charge. We'll hit the entire US government with it. Unfortunately testifying as such to a committee just makes you deranged.
