If he had that "intel" we'd know it by now.

That is an assertion with no evidence.

Either is possible.

While either is possible, your response reminds me of Russell's teapot because it's just as possible that Bezos eats dirt.

Without being able to falsify the claim, and by deferring to a claim that isn't the simplest possible explanation (he's got nothing), it makes me wonder whether other HN commentators will come to defend my "Bezos is a dirtmonger" conspiracy theory as well.

Oh god silly semantic games? really? Of course Bezos eats dirt because it's reasonable to assume without evidence to the contrary that Bezos eats food. It's reasonable to assume without evidence to the contrary that Bezos' food is no cleaner than yours and will contain some dirt.

Do we feel better about that now?

It's not reasonable to assume anything about the Intel Bezos has without evidence. Could be none. Could have hard evidence of crimes of the president and many senior politicians and public servants. Could be something in between those two. All are possible and there is no reason to discount any of it in the absence of evidence.

Good on you sticking up for the world's richest man who just hired a criminal though. It's important to maintian principle regardless of the optics.

So, Mr. Bezos, have you stopped eating dirt?

Evidence is plain as a day to see: no "reams" of any kind have surfaced in 4+ years in spite of the entirety of the deep state working overtime to unearth them. While absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, the latest switch from mere misinterpretations and quoting out of context to brazen whole cloth made up hit jobs that dozens of people deny _on the record_ suggests that the DNC is out of ammo.

He just hired the DOJ to defend him in a lawsuit in which he is accused of rape. That seems like something.

Joe Biden is also "accused" of rape. Doesn't mean shit.

Actually it does mean something.

The USA badly, badly needs a way to get better candidates for both parties. Is there anyone who thinks this is the best the Republicans have to do the job for the american people? Is ther anyone who thinks this is the best the Democrats have to do the job for the american people?

Did Joe Biden demand that the Department of Justice defend him?

If such material exists the public will likely see it in late January or early February of 2021 or 2025 when the nature of its usefulness changes.
