Question: How can the DOJ possibly prosecute Joe & Hunter Biden for foreign bribes and money laundering, when the entire purpose of the Foreign Relations Committees in DC is to facilitate foreign bribes and money laundering for congress?
As a career DC person once mentioned to me: Why does the Legislative branch, both the House and Senate, have a foreign relations committee, when all foreign policy is created by the executive branch? Contemplating the question, I responded by referencing the constitutional role of the House in spending money and various nations requesting financial support from the USA. The response I received was a simple one word, “exactly.”
If a foreign government wants money from congress, they play the game of hiring a family member, or giving a paid contract to the business of a family member, of a politician on either committee. That is the primary function of the committee in both chambers; to ensure the equitable distribution of funds to the families of congress. That’s also the reason why Mitt Romney spent $10 million running for an elected office that pays $300k per year, and why Mitch McConnell assigned Mitt Romney to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
When he was a senator, Joe Biden was Chairman of what Senate committee?
Yup, you guessed it, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
