Self-reinforcing feedback loop. They knew they were doing it all wrong in the first place but have to double-down over and over and over rather than admit it because their professional reputations depend on it...not to mention their jobs working for an oligarch-owned neofascist propaganda outfit.

They are essentially compromised and captured, enslaved to the fascist project now. Starting from the position of unethical, unprofessional, manipulative, click-baiting, access-whoring, ad-revenue-as-arbiter-of-truth perfidy rendered all that followed a matter of self-interest, not public interest.

I'm telling you, Biden pardons the gun shop guys and FBI handlers who forged the Car Registration stuff on the ATF form after the fact and dozens of journalists would have to scramble to figure out why.

emmygiselle.bsky.social•96 days ago

Can you please say more?

pre3chorded.bsky.social•96 days ago

Gun guys were legally req. To get proof from Hunter he's DE resident. They didn't but lied to ATF that he did. When FBI noticed spot for proof was blank in 2021 (proving THEY did fraud too) they all conspired to doctor the ATF form. Cont.

pre3chorded.bsky.social•96 days ago

Prosecutor declined to charge them, and judge said this would confuse the jurors about who did the crime (duh) so they hid it from jurors.
Like using a drug dealer to prosecute someone who bought the drugs!

It’s true. Tiger Beat made up stories. They even made up the stories supposedly by the stars. My sister worked there for a short time in the 80’s.

Don’t sugarcoat it emptywheel

I actually do blame corporate media for all of this. They were gluttons for trump and platformed him at every turn while hold others to higher standards. I have completely deserted them. They get what they deserve I hope.

coigue.bsky.social•93 days ago

I don’t understand how you can oppose the pardon because somehow the facts of a corrupt prosecution amd investigation would come out on appeal. Those facts are out and it isn’t making a difference (sadly)

crisscrossdude.bsky.social•96 days ago

12 people have been convicted for lying on the gun form. Tell me again about this concept of lawfare

pre3chorded.bsky.social•96 days ago

Do you think the gun store guys and FBI agents who realized in 2021 that the incomplete ATF form was evidence of their own crime, so they altered the form to better pin it on Hunter, should remain uncharged?

crisscrossdude.bsky.social•96 days ago

That would be fraud, so yes

pre3chorded.bsky.social•96 days ago

But they entrapped Hunter. Gun guys said on stand that they do sloppy paperwork for Democrats like Hunter because they don't want them in the store. If they say that day, like law intended, that since he isn't a resident they can't sell him gun, it never happens.

pre3chorded.bsky.social•96 days ago

But anyways not enough people are calling for the gun shop guys too arrested so you can start too since you agree

crisscrossdude.bsky.social•96 days ago

A jury can hear all about it

pre3chorded.bsky.social•96 days ago

Except the lawfare prosecutor declined to prosecute, and there isn't outrage because the media won't report it

emptywheel.bsky.social•96 days ago

Jury wasn't allowed to hear it. It's one thing that would have been appealed if he hadn't been pardoned.

"They dick pic sniffed their way thru...." omg 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Lmao!!

caldenbro.bsky.social•95 days ago

Can you explain to me what they mean by this? I'm not from the US and don't really know much about this subject....

ohjulia.bsky.social•94 days ago

It means that most media outlets were distracted by the lurid photos of HB, his drug abuse, & the whole laptop BS story. They focused on all that bullshit and completely ignored the relentless MAGA campaign to destroy his life the past 6 years. Including the misconduct by Congress and the DOJ.

caldenbro.bsky.social•93 days ago

Wait, what kind of lurid photos? What kind of drug abuse? Again, sorry for not being more well-versed on this...

emptywheel.bsky.social•94 days ago

Well described, thanks.

ohjulia.bsky.social•94 days ago

That's a wonderful compliment coming from you! 🫶

mikeinhouston.bsky.social•96 days ago

None of this should have ever gotten this far. Garland - to preemptive deflect to GOP accusations of politicization - kept a Trump hack on case & then refused to pull the plug (as it should have been) when Republicans sank a plea deal on a case anyone not named Biden would have gotten.

You know the old saying: How many dick pics would a dick pic sniffer sniff, if a dick pic sniffer could chuck wood?
