Christians for Trump?

These are crazy times politically. People actually believe the Russian collusion nonsense the Dem party has been pushing for almost 4 years?! People can watch Schiff and not realize what a terrible liar he is?! Really?! Biden is not even denying the computer and emails are real. Then why would Twitter censure the story? If  major players were not blocking the story Biden would have to talk about it. Much of the media is doing it's best to protect Biden! Unheard of since when? Hiding that FDR was confined to his wheelchair? Hiding JFK's affairs are minor compared to what Biden gets away with. I know the other side has their list but this is remarkable. Sure, defeat Trump, but this stuff is not credible at all, and smart Dems know it.

According to reporting, the FBI has the original hard-drives. Not the copies supposedly made by the shop owner. Why hasn't the FBI moved to arrest Joe for corruption? Reporting is they are more concerned that Rudy has once again been used as a useful idiot by the Russians. There is one simple solution to all of this, though. All Giuliani has to do is turn over what he has for independent corroboration. My prediction is that this "scandal" will end up being just like the Killian documents controversy about George W. Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard that were ultimately shown to be forgeries.

Why hasn't the FBI moved?
I have learned the FBI is not like the Lone Ranger that sweeps in and gets rid of wrong doers.
I have also learned not to believe "reporting they are more concerned Rudy is being used by the Russians."
We are just on different sides. I'd be very surprised to learn Joe has not made money from his position. But it is possible. It is not possible the Dems have been straight with us about the Russian collusion hype.

I learned there is a lot of politics in the FBI.

Some think Hunter has been using his last name for profit.  Some of the emails suggest Hunter has steered some money towards his father. Joe did not leave D.C. with as much money as other long-time politicians have. A big opportunity for a son to help his father.

The Trump stuff is already baked into the cake. Biden claimed he had not discussed his son's business with him.

Maybe it was good strategy for Biden to deny any knowledge of Hunter's business. I thought it was clear he was lying and it would trip him up. It could cause him a little trouble after he was elected.

I also underestimated how much support Biden would have from major media players unwilling to cover it.
