Not true - I'm seeing it here, and I could have seen it on YouTube.
I watched the video and did some Google research. He certainly sounds convincing.

You see it on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, NYT, WP?

No. Why not?, you might ask yourself.

I am encouraged that you actually took the time to watch it. Maybe at some point you will ask yourself a question that will lead to other questions that will get you to re-evaluate your perspective.

Because I don't watch NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, NYT, et. al. But I can surmise that those outlets didn't consider it to be anything other than unsubstantiated allegations.

Yes, you surmise.
These same outlets dismissed Hunter's laptop as Russian disinformation. They don't investigate or report anything about the Biden corruption unless they are absolutely forced to. Yet they report any small, unsubstantiated rumor about Trump from anonymous sources. You seem like a reasonable person. Why do you trust them?

This guy gives names and events that corroborate with other information and should be easily verifiable. Yet you automatically dismiss him. And the outlets I named, and probably wherever you get your information from don't report on it either way. They just IGNORE IT and hope it will go away. Ask yourself why.

It's funny how the Republicans have about 30 House committees investigating the Bidens and they haven't come up with anything other than one disgruntled IRS agent.

Care to summarize? I'm pretty sure I've got better things to do with 13 minutes.

By the way (as you probably already know), U.S. Attorney David Weiss (the holdover U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware who actually led the investigation) has "called bullshit" on the claims of the whistleblower who went to Lindsey Graham. Which is one of the many reasons I'm not willing to spend 13 minutes on this guy, particularly when the first 2 or 3 minutes (that's when I gave up on the video) are spent casting aspersions on the motives of those who won't agree with the speaker. --Bob

Lots of evidence that Weiss was given specific orders to nix the Hunter Biden probe by the DOJ. Actual people with names and documentation. But you probably turned that off after one sentence. If you ever heard about it at all, which is doubtful.

But good excuse, bobby. Wouldn't want to tax your brain with facts. Especially when you're still trying to figure out if Trump colluded with Russia. And what disinformation actually is.

The "lots of evidence" so far is the testimony of one disgruntled IRS agent. Let's see what else those 30 House committees investigating the Bidens turn up. I predict it will be exactly what they have now. Nothing. By the way, how much evidence did Durham turn up about the FBI's attempt to get Trump during the 2016 election? Durham spent four years and got two court acquittals in about one hour's time.

Oops #1:

Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden

Republicans’ big investigation into the Biden family has revealed … not a lot. The House GOP accused Joe Biden and his family on Wednesday of engaging in business with foreign entities—but were unable to provide any actual evidence linking the president to any wrongdoing. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer released a 65-page memo detailing a sprawling investigation into Biden and some of his relatives, particularly his son Hunter Biden. Nowhere in the massive document was there a specific allegation of a crime committed by Biden or any of his relatives. During a press conference explaining the investigation, Comer was asked if he had evidence directly linking Biden to corruption. The Kentucky Republican hemmed and hawed but ultimately admitted he didn’t.

The memo accuses the Biden family of involvement in a “scheme to peddle influence” in Romania from 2015 to 2017, as well as financial dealings with individuals in China. Hunter Biden’s name comes up repeatedly. But the memo contains scant details of all of these alleged dealings, nor does it contain any evidence that any laws were broken or that Biden was involved in his son’s Chinese business.

Oops #2:

U.S. Attorney David Weiss says he has not requested special counsel status as part of the years-long investigation into Hunter Biden.

U.S. Attorney David Weiss says he has not requested special counsel status as part of the years-long investigation into Hunter Biden. “To clarify an apparent misperception and to avoid future confusion, I wish to make one point clear: in this case, I have not requested Special Counsel designation pursuant to” the statue for appointing a special counsel, Weiss wrote in the letter to Sen. Lindsey Graham.

The disclosure from Weiss came in response to a letter from Graham, the Judiciary Committee's ranking member. The South Carolina Republican had sent Weiss a letter late last month requesting information about whistleblower allegations that he was denied special counsel status. Graham noted in his letter that whistleblowers had also indicated that Weiss had been prevented from bringing charges in Washington, D.C., and California.

Weiss, in his letter, said that he had conversations with department officials — he does not say who — about potentially being grated "special attorney" status, which would have allowed him to bring charges outside of his district. “I was assured that I would be granted this authority if it proved necessary. And this assurance came months before the October 7, 2022, meeting referenced throughout the whistleblowers’ allegations,” Weiss said. “In this case, I’ve ... never been denied the authority to bring charges in any jurisdiction,” Weiss added.

To clarify an apparent misperception and to avoid future confusion, I wish to make one point clear: in this case, I have not requested Special Counsel designation pursuant to 28 CFR § 600 et seq. Rather, I had discussions with Departmental officials regarding potential appointment under 28 U.S.C. § 515, which would have allowed me to file charges in a district outside my own without the partnership of the local U.S. Attorney. I was assured that I would be granted this authority if it proved necessary. And this assurance came months before the October 7, 2022, meeting referenced throughout the whistleblowers’ allegations. In this case, I’ve followed the process outlined in my June 30 letter and have never been denied the authority to bring charges in any jurisdiction.

Oops #3:

Republican’s ‘Whistleblower’ Charged as Unregistered Foreign Agent

THE DEPARTMENT OF Justice announced on Monday an indictment against Gal Luft, the Israeli-American co-head of a Maryland-based think tank, on charges related to violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Luft, currently a fugitive from American authorities, has been touted by Republicans as a potential whistleblower in their ongoing efforts to link the Biden family to corrupt business dealings abroad.

Luft was initially arrested in Cyprus in February, and fled the country after being released on bail. A six-count indictment was released on Monday. Charges include “offenses related to willfully failing to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (‘FARA’), arms trafficking, Iranian sanctions violations, and making false statements to federal agents.” The charges against Luft pose a collective maximum of 100 years in prison. In a statement, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams alleged that Luft had “subverted foreign agent registration laws in the United States to seek to promote Chinese policies by acting through a former high-ranking U.S. Government official.”

The department wrote that Luft, in his capacity as co-director of a non-profit think tank, “agreed to covertly recruit and pay, on behalf of principals based in China, a former high-ranking U.S. government official (Individual-1), including in 2016 while the former official was an adviser to the then-President-elect, to publicly support certain policies with respect to China.” Luft is further accused of negotiating “illicit arms transactions with, among others, certain Chinese individuals and entities,” including Libya, the United Arab Emirates, and Iran.

Last week Luft, who is still on the run from authorities, made various claims against the Biden family. In a 14-minute video obtained by The New York Post, Luft claims his February arrest was an attempt by the federal government to prevent him from exposing corruption by the Bidens — specifically that the Biden family had benefited financially from relationships with individuals connected to the Chinese military. He claimed that in 2019 he had provided evidence of the family’s wrongdoing to federal authorities. “I am now being hunted by the very same people who I informed,” Luft said.

These last two Oopses are from today.

This is why I am dubious of Gal Luft's claims. The indictment was issued in January, before he made the video, making me think that his allegations were an attempt to throw doubt on those accusations.
