"Republicans said there is 'overwhelming evidence' that Biden participated in a 'conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family.'"

"They alleged that the Biden family and their business associates received tens of millions of dollars from foreign interests by 'leading those interests to believe that such payments would provide them access to and influence with President Biden.' The committees said the Biden family and its associates received more than $27 million from foreign individuals or entities since 2014.... 'Based on the totality of evidence, it is inconceivable that President Biden did not understand that he was taking part in an effort to enrich his family by abusing his office of public trust,' the report states...."


Interesting timing: Biden is scheduled to give the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention tonight, opening night.

Hell, Professor, he’s on tape boasting about it. Does the timing bother you more than the corruption? Why?

"Republicans said there is 'overwhelming evidence' that Biden participated in a 'conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family.'"

Short retort: Welcome to the party pal!

Longer retort: This has been "common knowledge" for anyone that cared for years now. They have had the receipts. The bank records, transfers, Biden even bragged about getting the prosecutor that was looking into corruption involving his son and partners fired by threatening to withhold major bucks in aid, in front of a "huge" crowd! Don't forget about the "big guy" and his 10%. They impeached Trump for trying to get to the bottom of that (which Biden admitted to). Go figure...

Shouting Thomas said...

The CIA started a war in Ukraine with its 2014 coup, and the world has been pushed to the brink of nuclear war to support the Biden family money laundering schemes. This is the source of the hatred of Trump. He exposed this racket, which is supported and milked by both Republicans and Democrats. This is the vaunted “violation of democratic norms” Trump committed. He exposed the money laundering racket in Ukraine.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

This has been obvious for some time and my only question is why are Democrats allowing their court scribes to finally report on it?

Ralph L said...

I hope Jared Kushner is as squeaky clean as he looks, because there's bound to be retaliation.

It’s unlikely to change the fact that Republicans don’t have the votes to impeach the president.

Humperdink said...

All rhetoric. After the election Biden will be allowed to quietly ride off into the nursing home.

Leland said...

Fox News, always “Breaking News” that is common knowledge.

Tina Trent said...

Mike(MJB) is right. I'm in Chicago but of course outside the Convention, watching the protestsers silo themselves neatly into messaging that wags the right tail of the right dog at the right time in the right hierarchy for Kamala. Which is, by the way, Palestinian, Palestinian, Palestinian, and everybody else get behind them. They took over the pro-choice/LGBTQ protest last night, with nary a whimper from otherwise-loud activists who spent months in "negotiation" with the city to have some march, any march, feature their issues. Now the feminists and the gays are just chumps for the anti-Israel-existing crowd, posing as an anti-war crowd, which makes for some amusing signage (Reproductive Rights are Palestinian Rights/Trans Rights are Palestian Rights), except notice that the protest signs are all pre-made.

I feel like I'm watching my country die. All those AKA Sorority ladies inside the convention may feel like this is their moment, but they better get ready to go to the back of the bus with the rest of us.

that should be good for a laugh (or cry).. I assume they've had him asleep for the last 5 days prepping for The Long Night.

Trivia Question Poll: How Long will resident Biden's BIG SPEECH be?
10 min? 15? 20?

What does everyone think Doug Emhoff is going to be doing as First Gentleman?

Mark said...

The amount of money the Jared brought in makes the Bidens look like pikers.

John henry said...

They've been going after Donal Trump and family, including middle school son (in 2015) for 9 years now. If Jared or anyone else was not squeaky clean, we'd have heard it by now

It's hardly inconceivable that Joe "did not understand what was going on". You can say that about most things involving Joe. When you're Gaga you're Gaga.

rehajm said...

That seems impeachably offensive but Dana Perino told me it would be a waste of time…

Temujin said...

Interesting timing. Not really.
This has been out there since 2019. This is not new. What IS new is that other media, other press are starting to allow such articles to be released. Biden served his purpose. He's no longer needed. Now the overwhelming evidence and testimony by people involved is actually going to see some light of day.

This should have been among the biggest stories in American history. A Senator, turned Vice President, turned President on the hook to multiple foreign nationals to the tune of millions of dollars paid off to his drug addled son, and spread among 28 shell companies under the names of various family members.

But Trump said bad words about women.

So as they roll out Joe Biden tonight and create this Ted Kennedy sort of 'Lion of the Senate' routine for yet another incredibly corrupt politician, keep in mind what has taken place, and remember that this entire thing is a show. Nothing but a show.

Meanwhile Tony Bobulinski is still waiting for the FBI to follow up on their word that they would get back to him for an official interview. He's been waiting about 5 years now.

Leland said...

I hear the White House has interns. Or do you mean when he’s having social events outside the White House?

Iman said...

I hope they pump the SOB full of the usual drugs, let him rant and then let the American people give him the retirement Mussolini received.

Jersey Fled said...

“ The committees said the Biden family and its associates received more than $27 million from foreign individuals or entities since 2014....”

There’s very little doubt about this part of the story. Now tell me what work Hunter did for that $27 million. The Chinese and Ukrainians are not dumb people. They got something for that money, if only an anvil to hang over Joe’s head. And it seems like that worked.

Saint Croix said...

Stupid to impeach Biden. Beyond stupid. Good way to lose the election. Get people feeling sorry for Democrats, while you simultaneously elevate the importance of Kamala and give her gravitas.
Have you idiots learned nothing from all the horrible attacks on Trump? It always backfires. The American people don't like this shit. The Democrats have already forced Biden out of the race. Is it really important to rescue the next couple of months from having Biden in the White House? I say you are jeopardizing the next four years, and you are threatening to install a frickin' Commie in the White House.

Saint Croix said...

Waiting until an election year to do this shit is particularly stupid. The American people are not fools. We know what time of year it is.

Curious George said...


"Saint Croix
Have you idiots learned nothing from all the horrible attacks on Trump?"

He lost the election

Jamie said...

It’s unlikely to change the fact that Republicans don’t have the votes to impeach the president.

And it's just as unlikely to change the fact that not a single Democrat would cross the aisle - ok, maybe Manchin - to support impeachment of a president who has spent almost five decades selling his position (and eventually American foreign policy), first as the Senator from MBNA, then as Burisma's and Xi's biggest fan.

Perks of the job, right? How is a loyal Democrat supposed to support a(n extended) family (in extraordinary comfort) on a government salary?

Now that Biden is out of the way - the media might show some interest in this reality. Might. The loyalist left media - obey.

Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...

Mark - Is Jared Vice President?

Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...

Agreed. Waste of time. Go after him in a court of law.

Mark said...

Where was this a year or two ago? As it is, this now looks like the naked political move that it is, rather than a legitimate investigation and report, no matter how valid the charges and evidence - which is no doubt compelling and damning. But the stupid congressional Republicans were never serious about a serious investigation - it was always just theater, just like every other damn thing from them is a show.

So what do they do now? Send it over to DOJ and demand an instant indictment and prosecution? Given the Republicans' own delay, the DOJ could just as easily spend two or three years themselves "investigating" before they decide what to do about the charges.

Why is it that on practically everything, the Republicans are just a bunch of f*ck ups? Not just you Trumpists, but practically the whole damn party.

R's don't have enough power to do anything. You should be thrilled. Biden and his miserable, greedy, corrupt, horrible family will more than likely get away with their massive financial fraud and corruption.

Good to know you blame the Republicans.

Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...

Shorter Mark. *Biden family are corrupt. But blame someone else. o o o o - how about the Republicans. *

Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...

No matter how corrupt Democrats are - you will still support and vote for them.

Jamie said...

You're kidding, right? Republicans, Congressional and private citizenry, have been trying to get any press outlet to pay attention to this for years.

But your side insisted it was all just cheap fakes.

wendybar said...

Exactly....but as usual, the left, their lapdog media and the brainwashed had no clue. (They had a clue, but they covered it up, as usual.....until they need to get rid of him for their new shiny joyful toy.)

DINKY DAU 45 said...

right republican overwhelming evidence like the election was stolen(how many courts said bullshit 65? some trump courts, Joe tok the $$$ proof ZERO election was rigged..PROOF zero CONSPIRACIES on everything but proof none,,,right overwhelming evidence cmon man the only person convicted of crimes is the perp spreading the conspiracies,,FACT (not alternative like republicans believe in..sit at home alone ,no one would dare live with them and make up conspiracies...whining always drives people away

Aggie said...

Too Little, Too Late, Too Lame. The GOPe that we all know very well.

mikee said...

My only question is how juiced Joe will be. I look forward to seeing the pinpoint pupils of the highly drugged dementia patient, and hearing him read from the teleprompter words he is told to say, in alternating angry shouts and conspiratorial whispers. Maybe he'll even throw in an ad lib, although that could cost him an ice cream cone.

Howard (not that Howard) said...

Mark, do you understand the difference between Kushner's equity management firm getting a $2 billion *investment* from the Saudis and the Biden crime syndicate receiving millions from various adversary government-linked organizations?

Probably not. You leftists are not known for understanding context and nuance.

Yancey Ward said...

My only real question is whether or not Joe Shit For His Brains Biden resigns in the speech and Harris is immediately sworn in on national television. This is what would happen in an Aaron Sorkin drama and so I would not be surprised to see it happen tonight.

Michael K said...

Lefty Mark is against anything the Trump family does, even if perfectly legal. I am not a fan of Jared but the Democrats would have screamed if they had found anything illegal.

Michael K said...

Dopey Dau fails to note that every lawsuit, even by states, was denied on "standing," The evidence was never heard.

Freder Frederson said...

Howard, you're right. I don't understand the difference. Please explain it to us idiot leftists.

MSOM said...

Biden is guilty of something - at the very least in aiding and turning a blind eye toward Hunter et al's corruption.

That said, I'm sick and tired of all the misuses of the impeachment process. Trump's enemies did this repeatedly - conducting impeachment investigations that had no chance, or even intent, of removing the president. Now Biden's opponents retaliate with one. I sure hope this has not become standard practice.

If they'd sincerely thought that these crimes made it paramount to remove Biden as president, their investigation would have been at this stage years ago. Instead, they bring it up shortly before the election at a time when, even if they are ultimately successful, he'll at best be removed for the final few months of his term.

Announcing this so close to November, will lead the casual voter to write it off as yet another baseless attempt to influence the election. Even worse, it normalizes the egregious lawfare that the democrats have been conducting on Trump by setting up what looks to most viewers as a now standard series of criminal charges for the next ex-president.

This should have been either an impeachment process completed years ago, a criminal investigation conducted years ago, or a criminal investigation leading to charges after the election. All three of those were possible. This "pretend we need to remove a president before he completes a few final lame duck months" nonsense removes credibility from what should have been a serious investigation of a significant crime.

Michael K said...

Lefty Mark is outraged that Republicans would criticize Saint Joe. No matter that he was committing treason.

hombre said...

Republicans evidently think Democrats will care about this. If they cared, they wouldn't be Democrats. Also, the credibility of it all is impaired by the refusal of the corrupt DOJ to act.

Gunner said...

Impeach him in late November whether Trump wins or loses. That is the new Democrat standard.

MSOM said...

Completely agree. This has no credibility with most voters. And it destroys any arguments that the Democrats are guilty of lawfare against Trump.

Joe Smith said...

Too fucking little too fucking late as always from the eunuch party.

Harun said...

"Mark, do you understand the difference between Kushner's equity management firm getting a $2 billion *investment* from the Saudis and the Biden crime syndicate receiving millions from various adversary government-linked organizations?"

Here's the key. You can look at the Kushner equity management business and literally see what they invest in. Its real.

Meanwhile Hunter took millions from a Russian billionaire to "invest" - can anyone show me what they invested in? No you cannot.

Because it was a bribe not an investment.

(Actually he was paid consulting fees on investing...total bullshit.)

Harun said...

Its really easy to figure this out when you ask to see the work product.

Baturina gave a million or two for consulting. Show me the work product she received.

Kushner can show you the real estate that his fund bought. Bidens can't show you any work product. Media could have pushed this easily and didn't.

Harun said...

Dear Dum-Dum,

A federal prosecutor was assigned to Hunter Biden many, many years ago. He sat on the cases until statute of limitations ran out for the 2014-2016 cases. Can you guess why they did that? Its because Joe Biden would have been implicated. Then they attempted to slip an insane plea deal pass a judge, who refused to allow it. So, please if you wish to blame someone for this: blame the Biden administration, Garland, etc.

This is not hard to understand. If you're a Democrat or Leftist, you should understand hypocrisy very well since you always claim other people are hypocrites...go look in the mirror. The left and their media allies let this happen. Don't blame the GOP. GOP controls 1/2 of Congress.

Yeah, it ain't rocket science.

OK, but let’s hope they don’t give Dr. Jill the treatment Moose’s mistress Clara Petacci got—-being hung upside down with her skirt over her head. The horror…THE HORROR!

Biden admitted it, dumbass. How much more proof do you need?

bob said...

"Here's the key. You can look at the Kushner equity management business and literally see what they invest in. It's real." Yeah, well you can look at the Biden family's dozens of shell companies and literally see... oh, I get it now.

Iman said...

He needs another 90… Bushmills should work.

Michael K said...

They didn't for Clinton and it was a mistake to pursue it, even though he was guilty of perjury.
