Democrats know that Joe Biden is going to be facing an impeachment inquiry shortly and that he's up a creek without a paddle. Frankly, there are other bases on which you could justify an inquiry, in addition to the Biden family financial scandal. But on that, the Democratic talking point has been that there isn't any evidence against Joe Biden.
We've laid out a lot over the past four years that blows that all up. But now, the House Oversight Committee is laying out the highlights that they have in a brutal thread that destroys the Democratic "no evidence" talking point. They said they had "obtained and reviewed thousands of pages of financial records, text messages, emails, and witness testimony" that revealed Joe Biden's "corruption."
The committee said the Bidens and their associates raked in over $24 million from China, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Romania between 2015 and 2019.
They showed Joe Biden was the "brand" being sold here, according to the testimony from Devon Archer.
They laid out Joe's involvement on the phone, at dinners, and coffee with the Chinese associate.
The pictures also were "influence" the business associates could then turn around and use to promote their importance.
There was that alleged bribery form involving Joe Biden that they had to threaten the FBI Director with contempt to get to see.
There were two wires totaling $250,000 from China that had Joe Biden's address listed as the beneficiary address, the committee observed.
But there were also the payments directly to Joe Biden, including a $200,000 check "funded by the Biden's influence-peddling schemes."
Then, there was another $40,000 check to Joe.
They spoke about that 2018 bank email showing the band had serious concerns about the China money that Hunter was receiving, $40,000 of which went to Joe Biden.
Documents from the whistleblowers showed Joe Biden attended CEFC meetings (that's the Chinese company the Bidens were dealing with).
But wait, didn't he tell us he knew nothing about his son's business, and there was no money from China? Now he went to the meetings with the Chinese company? Whoops, that's a problem. Even beyond any influence peddling and potential compromise, it's Joe telling falsehoods to the American people.
Joe also got direct monthly payments from Hunter's business Owasco P.C.
That's a bit of a problem when he's trying to deny connection to any business.
Joe Biden used pseudonymous emails to communicate with a Hunter Biden associate, as well as others.
The IRS investigators wanted to look into Joe Biden, but the DOJ stopped them.
The committee accused the DOJ of being involved in a cover-up.
They even laid out inconsistencies in the story Biden had given about the classified documents that were found in his home and office.
For "no evidence," that sure sounds like a lot of evidence.
I'm thinking that's all not looking very good for Joe Biden, and this is all going to be laid out before the American public in the run-up to the election.
