“There’s no incentive to investigate if the president and the White House themselves have announced that aid is unconditional,” said Brian Finucane, who worked for a decade in the Office of the Legal Adviser at the State Department advising on arms transfers and the laws of war.

“That means they don’t want to hear inconvenient legal conclusions,” he told The Independent.

Mr Finucane said senior administration officials he had spoken to had been met with a “shrug” by the US intelligence community when they quizzed them about mass civilian casualty incidents caused by Israeli bombing, “because it’s no one’s job in the US intelligence community, apparently, to actually investigate these things.”

    Like wtf are yall trying to achieve here?

    Material influence on the Democrat party and it’s candidates. We’ve been pretty clear about that for decades now.

      By losing them power? There’s other ways to do that. Go work for the campaign of someone that can help push that in the democratic party.

        I have.

        We are told at every turn “we can’t do that because moderate and liberal voters wouldn’t like it”.

          Well you need to get more members of congress in. Cedeing to trump here by boycotting Biden isn’t going to help your end game.

            It won’t help the moderate and liberal voters who are fucking over my interests either. They want to keep acting like they’re the only people in the party so I’m gonna grant 'em their wish.
