Biden laughed off the bribery allegation last week.
“Where’s the money?” Biden told The Post at the time, adding: “I’m joking. It’s a bunch of malarkey.”
On Tuesday, Biden grinned and chuckled, when asked about the existence of tapes of him getting bribed.
IMO - We have reached the point where a "Whistle Blower" who does NOT have physical proof (audio or video or written or emails) to verify his/her claims, is quickly dismissed by those who are on the side being "outed" as doing wrong.

So you would be okay with a whistleblower making a claim and not having proof?
I know the answer to it based on your threads but it is still interesting to see what you say.

A witness to a crime does not have to present tangible "evidence" to the court. A witness, traditionally, is but a part of the evidence.
Their testimony.
Evidence instead is gathered through investigation... which a witness shouldn't just decide to do for themselves.
But I suppose in the trailer trash clown world we now live in, witnesses should just gather their own evidence and probably act as their own legal representation. Maybe they should play the part of the judge as well?
This is a mockery of our legal system.

All of the above are on the laptop, and it's still not enough. Holding some people accountable goes far beyond evidence.

How can a investigation be warranted with absolutely zero evidence of a crime? You sound like someone that doesn't understand the legal system.
Why don't you go and make some claim about someone with only your word to back that claim. If you have no evidence to back your claim how do you think a investigating authority will respond?

And yet, the average schmuck can be convicted of murder based on circumstantial evidence, hearsay testimony, character assassination, and police and prosecutor lies.

A fair point but a witness and whistle blower are not the same thing,
What is whistleblowing and why is it important?
A whistleblower is an employee who discloses information that the individual reasonably believes is evidence of gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety; or a violation of law, rule, or regulation.

Ummmm you do realize how ridiculous and hypocritical you are being atm correct? Are you absolutely positive that this is the route you want to take? Really think about that before you go on defending your very much authoritarian stance.
