I'm confused about what you're talking about.

The Mueller Report didn't "find nothing." If you're unaware of this, you can read about it here: https://www.commoncause.org/resource/read-the-mueller-report...

It only didn't end in legal action against Trump because of the procedural issues related to bringing charges against a sitting president. Barr made that decision, and chose to protect Trump.

Your video (apparently) shows a CNN producer who apparently believed the story was "fake", but that's not consistent with the actual facts we know.

I didn't find anything. I did show that Trump is surprisingly clean. Maybe because of lacking ability, but unusually clean for a president. Cleaner than Biden in case of Ukraine for example, even if Trumps dealings are self-serving.

Furthermore Bidens dealings are relevant to the US geopolitical ambitions and the censorship of it was a disgrace for the press. It keeps people uninformed, even if presentation of these issues is difficult for any news network.

> but unusually clean for a president

What's the standard here? Reagan arming Contra rebels by selling arms to Iran?

Or are you comparing to the presidential campaigns for President? Are you claiming that Obama and Romney and Clinton colluded way more with foreign powers?

Or are you comparing with Biden, who profited in no way from his dealings in Ukraine?

If there was a way to indict executive overreach on issues like surveillance and propaganda for example, things that are actually important compared to utterances of certain persons, the numbers would look quite different.

Trump is as guilty of executive overreach, no questions asked, but the criticism is very selective.

politfact is not really a good source. Trump has some financial involvements that should be questioned, but this isn't really enough. Indictment doesn't mean guilty as I believe.

If there had been something, we would have heard about it non-stop.

Re:YouTube bans Steve Bannon's podcast channel by pmiller2 on Monday January 11, 2021 @07:45AM (#25728161)
Well, Trump had 6 key people indicted, including his lawyer and his campaign manager, on 81 charges and several convictions / guilty pleas. Clinton had 2 indictments and 1 conviction, while Obama and Carter had 0. Which administration out of these would you say was the least "clean"?

You are very confused about the findings of the Mueller Report.

Hunter Biden is not running for President nor part of the Biden administration.

So what he does in his spare time is frankly irrelevant.

Re:YouTube bans Steve Bannon's podcast channel by ttt0 on Monday January 11, 2021 @03:39AM (#25726291)
If it was truly irrelevant, Twitter wouldn't censor it. They even locked out the New York Post out of their account for posting about it.

Biden is in the politics for decades, there is more then plenty of pretty damning evidence to show that, at the very best, he doesn't believe in anything he says.

Yea. I haven't followed the "election theft" narrative too closely, but the active, seemingly-coordinated censorship of this story is probably the best case for it.
Re:YouTube bans Steve Bannon's podcast channel by sjwright on Monday January 11, 2021 @07:19AM (#25727933)
That's ridiculous circular logic. The story is valid because it's not being covered? Millions of stories are not covered by the news every day. A functionally infinite number of non-stories are not covered by the news every day. The non-coverage of a story has no bearing on its validity.

Your claim is also invalid on its face—the election theft narrative is being spoken about endlessly. Trump's claims are headline news every single day. A significant fraction of the population believe it. So to claim that the story is being "censored" is simply wrong on the facts.

Re:YouTube bans Steve Bannon's podcast channel by ttt0 on Monday January 11, 2021 @08:50AM (#25728812)
First of all, it was not "not covered", but censored. The Hunter story is valid, simply because it's valid. The same media that decided not to cover the story before the election, confirmed its validity since then and decided that it was in fact news-worthy. Also the FBI launched the investigation into this.

Hate to be the person to point that out, but let's be honest with ourselves, if it was Trump Jr. who was taking pictures of him putting his dick into a pizza while smoking crack with random hookers, it would be probably retweeted by @jack himself lol.
