About a week ago we told you that the Washington Post's Philip Bump claimed that Devon Archer's testimony said the exact opposite of what Republicans were claiming.
House Oversight Republicans released another batch of bank records yesterday "detailing how the Bidens & their associates received millions from oligarchs in Russia, Kazakhstan & Ukraine" and you'd think "journalists" would want to dig deeper. Instead, Bump is saying Comer hasn't presented any evidence to indicate there was bribery going on:
Three months ago, James Comer alleged that Biden had taken a bribe. Today, he released new information about money paid to Hunter Biden — but nothing to the president, including this "bribe." So where is it? https://t.co/rwiBMWjDGd

Some "journalists" are actually thinking that only a check made out to Joe Biden with the word "bribe" written in the memo section would be proof.
Anyway, it seems like the never-validated claim that Joe Biden was paid $5 million by Zlochevsky has been usefully morphed into “well, vibes can be a bribe.”

Like “actually, surveilling campaign staff is the same as a wiretapp at Trump Tower.”

If Richard Nixon had been a Dem and Washington Post "journalists" had their current attitude he'd have finished two full terms and would be best known for wearing wing-tipped shoes on the beach.
Your parents and family can call me if they need help or counseling. I feel for them. The horror of being linked to such a tier-one imbecile must be awful. Lemme know.

Why did Biden meet with all those oligarchs who paid Hunter Biden so much money, Phillip?

The "Real Journalists™" are saying Republicans aren't proving their case instead of checking it out themselves.

It's "D"ifferent this time.
They’re really going for “yeah sure the Biden family got bribes but maybe they didn’t share it with Joe” https://t.co/rj6UPYXOsU

Let's face it, the lib media wouldn't even be satisfied if a check that looked like this surfaced:
Wait, they found a check. https://t.co/yHWZdxNW7U pic.twitter.com/T3pqhNzFcP

That's what "journalists" are waiting for and even if that were real they'd have an explanation for why it doesn't matter.
