Hound has a theory...if she reads some dirt about Biden on the internet...it must be true. Here is an example of how a conspriracy theory can be so wrong...

"From Hound…”But, it was clear to me that Biden, who made a show of calling off the "investigation" of the Ukaine company that he and Hunter were engaged with. “

“The conspiracy theory holds that Burisma used Hunter Biden's position to influence then-vice president Joe Biden, who subsequently conditioned the release of $1 billion in US government aid on a requirement that Ukraine fire its prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin (who had held this post from February 2015[16] until March 2016[17]), to prevent the company from being investigated for corruption.

This narrative is inconsistent with contemporaneous reports and has repeatedly been found to be false.[1] No evidence has been found showing Hunter Biden engaged in influence peddling with his father.[18] While Vice President Biden did withhold $1 billion in government aid to Ukraine in 2015, this was done as part of a wider American and international policy to induce Ukraine to remove Shokin, not to prevent an investigation into Burisma.

Shokin, viewed by the American government as both corrupt and ineffective, had failed to launch a serious corruption investigation into the affairs of the country's oligarchs. The U.S. particularly objected to his failure to fully investigate Burisma's founder, Mykola Zlochevsky.[5] The Ukrainian prosecutor's office continued to examine Burisma under Shokin's successor, Yuriy Lutsenko, but Lutsenko clarified that the cause of concern was a transaction unrelated to Hunter Biden and stated that there was no evidence of wrongdoing by either Hunter or Joe Biden.[15][19] A January 2018 video of Joe Biden speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations has been falsely represented as Biden acknowledging he had withheld the loan guarantees to prevent Shokin from investigating Burisma and his son.[20] “
