New house speaker's latest financial disclosure

[hadit]

That's a reason to think that something illegal happened.

What possible reason do you have beyond feelz? You're just upset that you don't have a ready-made mudpie to throw.

Maybe he really is just deep in debt from mortgages and personal debts from campaigning. Maybe he has just always figured “God will provide” … or some rich donors. Guess we’ll find out soon.

Why will we?

 

[Billiejeens]

Given he has 2 kids in college, his family home, has to keep a place in DC, pay bills on both places. It’s better to have a trustee paying things and looking over everything.

Do you know why they are so concerned about it, other than he is not a Democrat?

Shows no assets. Not even a checking account. Nothing. Zero assets. No investments, no properties, nothing.

Seems pretty unlikely, don't you think? A congressman, even a back bencher, with no assets at all? Used to be a lawyer, won some pretty big settlements too, where is it all?

Mike Johnson Has Never Reported Having a Bank Account

Daily Beast: "Over the course of seven years, Johnson has never reported a checking or savings account in his name, nor in the name of his wife or any of his children, disclosures show. In fact, he doesn’t appear to have money stashed in any investments, with his latest filing—covering 2022—sh

You are concerned about this but not the Biden's??

 

[hadit]

Why will we?

Because they think this is a scandal that will require a special investigator and a jury trial. They literally cannot fathom a Republican actually keeping private information private.

Seems like a hypocritical stance given the republicans are out there showing everyone the bank records of Biden’s grandkids.

Biden is his team.

There certainly were crimes committed by Hunter to justify investigation, but there is no reason at this point to think that anything illegal happened with the new House Speaker. Of course, the SOP today is to insist that some crime has been committed simply because he exists and has a position of power, but that's not how it works. If you think something illegal happened, tell us what law was broken.

Hunter Biden is being investigated by the DoJ. What does that have to do with Republicans publicizing the records of Biden’s grandkids?

Privacy for me but not for thee.

I still fail to see what the new Speaker has done that warrants all this panting and bloviating about his finances. And of course, there's a lot of interest in Quid Pro Joe's finances, given how he and his family have become mysteriously wealthy over the last few years.

 

[Jarlaxle]

It’s the utter lack that’s suspicious. Does he live with mom? Does he live off his wife? Lack of evidence can be damning, because who would believe it? If a Dem was this sketchy, you’d be all over it.

There is a minimum threshold for reporting...anything below that doesn't have to be reported. At a guess, his assets are simply below the minimum.

There’s a lot of panting and bloviating about Biden’s finances too.

You fail to see that a grown man with no bank accounts and assets isn’t just a little suspicious that he’s hiding something.

I get people want privacy. Those people don’t get to run for office where they’re required to disclose finances.

Of course, there's interest in Quid Pro's finances, he has a son who has been cashing in on the family name, and it behooves us to know what Quid Pro was selling that made him so rich. There's no reason yet to even think that the new Speaker has committed any crimes that warrant the angst being expressed on here.

But no interest at all with Jared raking in $3.5B, or more, since he failed his security clearances! Y'alls priorities are ass backwards!

You're free to start any thread you want about Jared or anyone else.

What about Biden's? HAs he tried to claim he has no assets?

Yeah, what did Jared have to give up for that $2B? I think the American people deserve an answer.

It's a little weird that leftists don't understand that -
Business people do business.

Hunter was a businessperson and was harassed over chicken feed, while Jared’s $2B from an ally of Hamas is given a pass?! That’s troubling.

 

[Markle]

My Democrat friends believe so strongly that graft and corruption are perfectly acceptable that they just refuse to believe someone isn't a thief like themselves.
