You are ready and willing to speculate on all sorts of evidence-free things about President Biden yet you don't feel it's right you comment on the worthiness or not of the indictments against Trump.
So, sworn testimony, without rebuttal by Wolfe is inconclusive. But, I am to accept unsubstatiated evidence against Trump, before rebuttal. Talk about being "Rich".
As I said before, if Trump is found guilty, Hang Him. The same goes for both Bidens.
I am not the judge, nor the jury, Neither are you. There are plenty of unknown facts. So, all we can do is speculate. I believe I expressed my view of the whole thing in an earlier post, as it all being Political Theater. At least so far.
To be honest, I don't know if Joe is innocent or guilty. The same holds true for Trump. And if Trump is guilty of the Documents fiasco, is Biden guilty of the same? Remember, Joe had position of secret documents in various places of his control, including his garage. And as vice president, he had no authority to have them in his posession. At least Trump has a thin defense as to presidential authority.
If you agree that so far there is no corroborating evidence of any wrongdoing by Joe, i think that would be on the mark.
Perhaps this is worth some review by you.........read the whole CBS News article
Hunter Biden's former business partner was willing to go before a grand jury. He never got the chance.
A former business partner of Hunter and James Biden, who worked directly with them on a 2017 China energy deal, was never asked to testify to a Delaware grand jury investigating Hunter Biden, two sources familiar with the discussions tell CBS News.
Tony Bobulinski, the former business partner, was open to testifying, and his attorney reached out to the office of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss. Weiss did not return their calls, the sources said. Weiss' decision not to bring Bobulinski is the latest indication that prosecutors investigating Hunter Biden may have avoided investigating allegations about his father, President Joe Biden.....................................

The exact wording, from the transcript. Available is the total transcrpt, for you reading.
Nevertheless, prosecutors denied investigators' requests to develop a strategy tolook into the messages and denied investigators' suggestion to obtain locationinformation to see where the texts were sent from.For example, we obtained a July 30th, 2017, WhatsApp message from HunterBiden to Henry Zhao, where Hunter Biden wrote: "I am sitting here with my father andwe would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell thedirector that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now meanstonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang,or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and everyperson he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not followingmy direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father."Communications like these made it clear we needed to search the guest house atthe Bidens' Delaware residence where Hunter Biden stayed for a time.In a September 3rd, 2023 [2020], pros meeting, the Assistant United StatesAttorney, Lesley Wolf, told us there was more than enough probable cause for thephysical search warrant there, but the question was whether the juice was worth thesqueeze. She continued that optics were a driving factor in the decision on whether to

If you go down the article a bit, there is a window, where the full transcript is available to read fully.
I watched the full 6 hours of the testimony. So, if you missed it, you may want to read the transcript to get a fully knowledgable idea of what tesimony evidence was provided.
Remember now, these guys were under oath.
Are you really saying now that none of the Trump indictments are supported by solid evidence?
I guess we will find out, when this goes to trial. Don't you believe in "Innocent, Until Proven Guilty".
We can both speculate on all that, but the Court will decide for certain. If he is guilty, String Him Up!
And if innocent, get off his ass.
But it was not immediately clear whether Hunter Biden had been with his father when he sent the message or what his father — then a private citizen, having finished his term as vice president six months earlier — knew about his son’s negotiations with his potential Chinese partners.
It is also not clear whether Mr. Biden was using his father’s name without his knowledge to extract money in a business deal. Mr. Shapley, in fact, also told Congress that his investigation had uncovered some evidence that some of the claims of the elder Mr. Biden’s involvement were mere “wishful thinking.”
I explcitly remember, as part of the testimony, that Ziegler stated that he requested permission to track both Biden's phones, to see if they were indeed together when that incident occurred. And his request was denied.
Supervisory Special Agent Shapley testified, “After an electronic search warrant on Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud led us to WhatsApp messages with several CEFC China Energy executives where he claimed to be sitting and discussing business with his father Joe Biden, we sought permission to follow up on the information in the messages. Prosecutors would not allow it. Around this time, a search warrant for the guest house at the Bidens’ Delaware residence was being planned. Yet, despite agreeing that there was probable cause, AUSA Wolf cited the ‘optics’ of executing a search warrant at President Biden’s resident as the deciding factor for not allowing it to be completed … AUSA Wolf also told investigators they should not ask about President Biden during witness interviews even when the business communications of his son clearly referenced him.”

So, of course it was not clear as to whether Joe was sitting next to Hunter.
and the taxpayers are footing the bill for all this nonsense.
Cecil B. DeMille could have done it much cheaper. LOL!!
zab.......
I'm 75. I worked all my life. And, I came out of that living a comfortable retirement. And I do consider my life great. Even though I do have some differences of opinion politically, I'm loving the fact that God has blessed me with good health and the abiliy to work and survive.
But our world has become one of divisive minutae like our children being chastised for pretending they are indians, while at play. But encourged to pretend they are women/men, contrary to their biological gender. We worry about the pictures on packaging of pancake mix, rice and butter more than we do about homeless vets. We keep voting the same crooks and shysters into office that our Party of choice tells us to and cast stones at each other for doing so. We rant about our justice system, whoever is holding the power ot oversee it. Barr was a bagman for Trump & Garland is protecting Biden. We argue so hard that I feel sometimes we lose sight of what is really going on. And, I would think that is by design.
Yes, my life has been and is good. But, that does not diminish my concerns about my progeny.
It's all just an attempt to blow a giant smokescreen over their criminal GOP standard bearer, nothing more, nothing less.
And the GOPer"s think the same about the rash of lawsuits/indictments of Trump that have flowed out during the last year.
In other words my friend, this is all Political Theater. Best not to get too riled. Enjoy the popcorn and wait for the last act. LOL!!
Meanwhile, looting and shop lifting are employment of the day.
The inflow of immigrants is full bore.
Fentanyl is plentiful.
Homelessness is unprecedented.
But who cares, when we have all this political drama to keep us entertained and occupied.
Let's get some legislation to ban the words "Wife" & "husband" and replace them with "Spouse".
We've already gotten rid of Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima.
So get busy with some other such important legislation and initiatives.
Sit back Jack and enjoy the Circus!!
Both sides screwed the pooch
Well, I;m not so sure about that. It has been said that Weiss will be testifying before Congress, after the Congress returns in early August from recess. Which means, Weiss can answer many of the questions asked of him by using the "I will not comment on particulars of an ongoing/open investigation." Seems kind of convenient that all this "blew up" just prior to his visit to Congress. Whatcha' think?
I think they intentionally put on their Dunce Caps for just this reason. Let's remember, these guys are top of the line litagators. They know the law. So why such a dumb ameteur move? Dumb like Foxes, I say.
And what the fuck, why would I care less about who a witness voted for or who they have sex with? That's nobody's business including mine. You're as bad as conix with your misinterpretation of my integrity. The only people who have the innate urge to label everyone they meet is the GOP and its cult followers.
All I hear is, He/She was a Trump appointed Judge. He/She is a Trump appointed AG. Inferring that all involved are biased toward some outcome favorable to Trump and/or Republicans. I was just trying to point out that that would not be the case here and by the bias parameters as established by many (when convenient), Ziegler would not fit within those parameters. Actually, I could care less myself. But for others reading these posts, it should assure them, by there veracity standards, that Ziegler was honest and without political bias.
As for "blowing up the agreement", I hardly think that would be possible. But even if it was, would not the immunity agreement be blown up with the rest of the agreement? Seems logical to me.
Should be interesting to hear the bullshit spin they put on this one without supplying a shred of evidence, like their IRS guys but not in public.
You really doubt the testimony of the IRS Whistleblowers. One of which is a Gay Democrat? I happened to watch the entirity of that testimony, and I believe them. But, time will be the arbiter of truth or bullshit about what they had to say.
As for Devon Archer testimony, evidently the transcripts will be released for all to read and decide what is relevant and what is not.
I do have one question though. I;m wondering why there was even an immunity stipulation in the Hunter Plea. If he peaded guilty to the charges outlined in the indictment, would he not be protected by the double jeopardy rule of law? They could not come back and reindict him for those crimes. So, what was he given immunity for?
Might want to take a look at the latest DOJ intimidation tactic.

How many suspicious activity reports do the Liedens have?
The recently announced House Republican investigation into President Joe Biden and his family’s business dealings will focus, in part, on at least 150 banking suspicious activity reports (SARs) allegedly related to the Biden family and their business dealings. The new investigative effort comes after the Treasury Department, under Biden’s control, has refused to produce the records after previous Republican requests.
https://americanmilitarynews.com/2022/11/biden-family-has-150-suspicious-activity-reports-but-treasury-obstructing-release-says-house-gop/
Can only add that the consensus seems to be this is a huge win for Trump's team.
Well, I for one (and I am sure many others may agree) that this was a huge win for Justice in America.
Let us not forget, as previosly shown in my previous post, the Judge asked point blank, if the lawyers had ever seen a precedent for the sweeping inclusions within that very immunity stipulation. The answer, of course, was no. And don't forget, this agreement was negotiated and hashed out after months of negotiation. After all that, it is hard for me to believe that there could have been any misunderstanding between the prosecution and defense teams.
One more question lends light to how nefarious this immunity was. Why was it buried into the gun diversion portion of the agreement?
Experts said the deal does indeed bear some uncommon features, particularly in the way prosecutors structured Biden's immunity from future charges.
Prosecutors included details about Hunter Biden's foreign business endeavors into the plea deal on the misdemeanor tax charges, but wrote the immunity standards into the diversion agreement -- the much-cited Paragraph 15 -- which would include "any federal crimes encompassed" in the statement of facts for the plea agreement.
Lucian Dervan, a law professor at Belmont University, said the judge seemed concerned that the decision to handle immunity in the diversion program rather than in the plea agreement "might have removed that issue from her purview."
https://abcnews.go.com/US/hunter-biden-plea-agreement/story?id=101718321
Are we to believe that these lawyers are so incompetent as to leave any misunderstandings open and to be revealed in open court? Or is it more likely that this whole agreement was crafted jointly to keep the American public unaware of how involved the Biden's were involved in Bribery schemes and influence peddling?
Joe Biden asked a reporter "So where's all the money" Perhaps it is in alleged overseas bank accounts. Why would the Biden's need all those shell companies and overseas bank accounts.
According to financial records obtained by the Oversight Committee, the Biden family set up over 20 shell companies, most of which were created when Joe Biden was vice president. IRS whistleblowers have confirmed the existence of these companies.
Bank records obtained so far by the Oversight Committee show the Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals’ and their related companies. The Bidens engaged in many intentionally complicated financial transactions through their associates to hide these payments and avoid scrutiny.

"Would you be willing to hand over the paperwork with respect to foreign transactions?" Comer recounted as his last question to the whistleblowers on Wednesday, then telling Hannity, "It’s been almost impossible for my committee to subpoena bank records from foreign countries. The IRS has that, and they are willing to turn that over to the Ways and Means Committee, who will hand it over to us."
"That’s a big deal because we suspect that the Bidens had offshore bank accounts and that today was a huge development that will open up a new door for us to move forward in our investigation," the Kentucky Republican added, saying he believes there’s "easily" $25 to 30 million or more tied to the Biden family in foreign business dealings.

Despicable GOP politics at its finest.
I won;t argue that point. But, I would suggest that politics by both sides is Despicable.
However, I think you may have misinterpreted what happened there. The arguement was about whether the GOP would agree to a temporary replacement, until Feinstein returned to the Senate. Had she retired..................
Cornyn said he hopes Feinstein returns, but he said that if she retired and was replaced by a new senator, Republicans might be more amenable to overhauling committee seats permanently, as there is precedent for that. A committee assignment can be changed quickly with unanimous consent in the Senate.
"That would be a different set of circumstances than this," Cornyn said of reorganizing committees to accommodate new members of the Senate. "But not on a temporary basis."

And then people like you continue to pile on. Real classy there champ. Keep up the good work and wonder why you get steamrolled in 2024 for that and a lot of other reasons.
So, snide remarks about McConnell's physical deterioration are acceptable to you and yous, but mention of Feinstein's is not? And, about getting steamrolled in 2024 seems a bit premature.
fuagf.........
I read your post with interest. There are a few facts left out or misinterpreted.
1.) Noreika later asked the government whether it had "any precedent for agreeing not to prosecute crimes that have nothing to do with the case or the charges being diverted?"
"I'm not aware of any, Your Honor," prosecutor Leo Wise responded.
2.) Noreika repeatedly expressed her concerns about the constitutionality of the diversion deal related to the felony gun charge, specifying that the main issue with the agreement was that if Hunter Biden breached the deal, the judge would need to make a finding of fact on the matter before the government could bring charges.
The diversion was an agreement in which the government would not charge Hunter Biden with the more serious federal gun charge — if he pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor tax charges and behaved under certain terms of the agreement for a period of approximately 24 months. If Hunter Biden breached the diversion, the government would try to bring the serious gun charge against him.
At that point, the government would bring that information to the judge, and the judge would be required to determine whether charges should be brought — that was the portion of the diversion that Noreika rejected, saying it would be unconstitutional as charging decisions are made by the executive branch, not the judicial branch.
"Do you have any authority that any court has ever accepted that or said that they would do that?" Noreika asked.
"No, Your Honor, this was crafted to suit the facts and circumstances," Wise replied.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/top-5-moments-hunter-biden-hearing
And I have a question of my own, that you may give me an answer to. Supposedly, both the defense lawyers and the ATTY. General Weiss are supposed to be top of the line legal minds. That being said, how or why did they come up with such an unacceptable plea agreement before the court?
And I offer one more clarification about Judge Maryellen Noreika, described only as a judge appointed by Trump (kind of giving a biased view of the judge).
If you look at her political affiliation, you will note it is Democrat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryellen_Noreika
And, I can not remember where I read it, but she was well praised at her nomination hearing by both Democrat Senators from Delaware (Coons was one, I can't remember the other).
. CYA by the newest attorney in the "Attorney Letter"
Counsel has personally met or communicated with and discussed the above documentation with Mr.
Yusuf Kisa (CEO, Sole Director, President, and Principal Financial Officer) and Ms. Aygun Antas
(Secretary), management of the Issuer, and who represents the majority of the Board of Directors.
In the event that the facts and information in all such documents are determined not to be true, this opinion shall be null and void.
It’s 100% false!!!!!
It is not 100% false. But the Attorney did change his statement about whether GIFX qualifies as a Shell Company. Based on this, I will remove the "sticky".
Isn´t the Turkish SE good enough for GIFA?
Tha simple answer is that GIFX could not fool investors in Turkey, like they have done in America.
Try looking up GIFX in any other legitimate news media in Cyprus or the TRNC. No big headlines as to how large GIFX is or news as to the huge projects GIFX claims to have going on.
Try to find GIFX listed as a business entity in Cyprus and/or the TRNC. NADA!! It is on no lists of major businesses of that area/country. But to hear Kisa talk, they are the King of the Hill of business enterprises in that area.
Kisa (GIFX) puts forth financial reports here that are unverified, with disclaimers from both the accountant company and its securities lawyer (representative), warning that those numbers are assumed to be true and correct. Kisa could not get away with all that in Turkey and/or Cyprus.
So, the simple answer is, he can be bigger than he is here, even if suspected of over hyping GIFX, while he could not do so, so close to agencies that could coroborate (or not), many of the claims Kisa has made about GIFX.
.new attorney, and with experience in removing CE's.
I have seen no evidence of that. But then, I would assume most securitiy's lawyers of OTC companies, would have such knowledge and/or experience. What makes this lawyer any more extraordinary? First it was Aul, the guru of Security's Lawyers, to the rescue.
Then it was supposedly Anthony that was supposed to be the legal entity to which all others aspire. Now comes another one that becomes the savior of GIFX? I'll believe it when I see it.
Gee, maybe Kisa does not know that you have to request removal of the Caveat Emptor designation.
Perhaps his world renowned legal advisors have failed to tell him that. LOL!!
Mr. Kisa must be crying because of all the incompetence of USA attorneys "practicing" at the OTCM. Minor leagers at best.
You get what you pay for. Cheap attorney's do sub-standard work. Wonder if Kisa will ever pony up for an audit? And if he does, will it be of the same quality?
Read Closely..........
What is a Shell Company?
A shell company, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, is an issuer with no or nominal operations and either no or nominal assets, assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents, or assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
OH!! You Will Love This!!
. Counsel has personally met or communicated with and discussed the above documentation with Mr.
Yusuf Kisa (CEO, Sole Director, President, and Principal Financial Officer) and Ms. Aygun Antas
(Secretary), management of the Issuer, and who represents the majority of the Board of Directors. In the
event that the facts and information in all such documents are determined not to be true, this opinion shall be null and void.
AND:
Counsel has reviewed previous filings and determined the Issuer does currently meet the definition of a shell in accordance with the definition of a “shell company” as stated in Rules 405 of the Securities
Act of 1933 and 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934.
Actually, a bit more ass covering than Anthony, LOL!! But who would know better, as to how to CYA, than this sphincter of justice. GEEZ, DOES IT EVER END??
GIFX is probably the lonly ticker that is Pink Current and Caveat Emptor.
There are a few Pink Current companies that are Caveat Emptor. If you go to the "Corporate Action" (at OTC Markets site) and go to the bottom of the selections , you will find Caveat Emptor. There is a list of companies "Added" or "Rmoved"; many of which are Pink Current.
Because a company is current in filings, does not mean that they do not put out false promotions and/or statements. GIFX has a history of false hype and promo's, when it comes to their supposed business ventures. Thus, it remains Caveat Emptor. The only thing that will get them off, I am guessing, is a formal audit, by a reputable firm. Attorney letters only say that they have no reason not to believe what Kisa tells them. Even the accounting firm states that "We do not provide any assurance on these financial statements. " Berman Hopkins is not going to lose their accounting license over the possibility that Kisa is a crook.
There have been rumors that Kisa wants a NASDAQ listing. Well, if he does, he will have to Pony Up for an audit. What is he waiting for?
The Company set aside $750,000 USD to finance the process of pursuing a listing on
Nasdaq, including paying for the necessary fee structure. This amout has been recorded as
Designated use cash on the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2023
It is that kind of phoohockey that keeps GIFX as Caveat Emptor.
The company will not pay for an audit, but will put $750,000 aside for NASDAQ? What's wrong with that picture?
Kind of like all the rooms and entertainment that was going to be provided to shareholders, for the share holder's meeting.
OTC Markets is not going to believe all that crap, until an audit has proven such a fund does exist. Until then, all the similar fables and claims by the company fall under the category of "false promotions" by Kisa and GIFX.
Saying they know sooner or later GIFX will be NASDAQ is like saying tonights pitcher is going to throw a no-hitter, even though he just came up from the minor leagues yesterday. And GIFX can not even be classified as a minor leaguer, as it's arm has been amputated at the elbow and must grow back before pitching again, let alone throw a no-hitter.
Spewing that kind of fantasy to entice investors is what is keeping a Skull & Crossbones next to the GIFX symbol.
I noticed he supplies a daily update on the securities OS.
That is the Transfer Company, complying with suggested pink sheet verification guidlines.
Pacific Stock Transfer was always one of the more open and transparent of the transfer agents. I have called them many times over the years to verify share structures of OTC companies. Many of which were just glorified dilutive stock selling scams. Hard to sell a Convertible Note if your company is Caveat Emptor and shares can not be sold on an American Exchange. That may be the reason GIFX share structure has remained unchanged.
Wonder what it will take to remove the CE?
I'm sure that would do it. There have been so many false claims and false starts with Kisa, it is hard to know what you are buying into, when purchasing GIFX (if you can, but not here in America).
Kisa makes it sound like he/GIFX has so much going on, when in fact, many of his claims are ambitions, rather than fact. And, a Lawyer Letter, only assumes that Kisa and his book keeper are telling the truth. There are enough claims of crimminal activity, in a country/province, known as a crimminal haven, to foster a good deal of doubt about what actually GIFX/Kisa is all about.
An audit, by a reputable firm would provide a clear picture of what GIFX really is. Currently, GIFX exists as a muddied speculation, as provided by an unproven source. BUYER BEWARE!! (Caveat Emptor)
Everything looks good for GIFX, but looks can be deceiving.
GIFX Pink Current Information- And still Caveat Emptor!!
Looks like Kisa can not shake the Skull & Crossbones from GIFX.
Good news for all gifx shareholders ...........
GIFX is still Caveat Emptor, in other words, not trading on American OTC Exchange.
I read at the OTC Markets web page, it matters not if a company is up to date with financial reports or if it is OTC Pink Current, OTCQX or OTCQB, it can still be Caveat Emptor.
Check the list of Caveat Emptor stocks and one can see that there are those that are compliant with current financial reports, but still Caveat Emptor. So, GIFX remains Caveat Emptor for reasons other than their financial reporting.
Well, it is down to 10,000 @.0044 after the latest financial report. LOL!!
LOL!! Looks like it is trading again. Should have figured that the institutions would not be left hanging. Too much money on the short side by institutional investors.
So, it looks like those that shorted FRC now have a chance to cover, just as I had surmized from the start.
This dog has no legs and sure won't be able to grow them.
It works like this. Those that are short have to cover their short positions. That means they have to buy shares to do so. So, those currently holding shares will be able to sell those shares, to the amount that shorters are short. Last count, that was 56 million shares are short.
Many of those that sold short, did so from $133 to about $50. If a short position is covered at say $10, the difference is the profit of the short position.
Now, there are some heavy institutional traders currently holding short positions. Thusly, if the halt is discontinued, there will be buying in the market, to cover short positions. If a majority current shareholders hold, it will create what is known as a squeeze. Short positions must be covered within a distinct number of trading days, which puts pressure on those holding short to cover or lose out on the money they are holding from their short sales.
I'm not saying it will happen, but there may be shareholders that may recoup all or a portion of the money they paid to buy First Republic. It will be interesting to see what happens here.
Just a possible situation I am proposing and I could be wrong. But, as was stated in an earlier post, it is likely that institutional investors will be given a chance to cover their short positions.
I'd guess there was some short covering. May continue if halt is lifted. Might be a good short squeeze.
Maybe. There are still a lot of short positions to cover.
Investors are beginning to see the light. It takes a long time for one to realize they may have been bamboozled by an OTC scam.
