Ignoring Joe Biden’s Corruption Tells the World America is Corrupt

By The Federalist. With Joe Biden out as Democrats’ candidate for president, the House of Representatives’ report on the impeachment inquiry released this morning may give off a “What difference, at this point, does it make?” vibe.

After all, even if the House votes to impeach the president, the Senate won’t convict him and he’ll be out of office and politics forever in January 2024. The nearly 300-page report nonetheless matters for many reasons, the most important of which is to restore America’s standing in the world.

Over more than 150 pages, the House’s impeachment report establishes that Joe Biden conspired with his family members and their business partners to monetize his position as vice president. In exchange for access to then-Vice President Biden, foreign individuals and entities gave various Biden family members and their friends more than $27 million—some of those proceeds passed directly on to the Big Guy.

Those generalities fail to adequately capture the audacity of the conspiracy, or the harm to our country caused by Biden announcing through his conduct that the United States of America can be bought. Four specific payoffs crystallize both. . .

First, as the House report details, in early 2014, while Barack Obama’s vice president Biden attended a birthday party for Hunter Biden with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina. Baturina is the wife of the former mayor of Moscow. The United States had accused him of heading a “pyramid of corruption” involving the Kremlin. Ten days later, Baturina transferred $3.5 million to Hunter Biden-connected businesses. (Read more from “Ignoring Joe Biden’s Corruption Tells the World America is Corrupt” HERE)

US House Republicans Release Impeachment Report on President Joe Biden

By Al Jazeera. Republicans in the United States House of Representatives have released a report alleging Democratic President Joe Biden committed impeachable offences, but it is unclear whether they would push for a vote following a probe that the White House has long dismissed as politically motivated.

A 291-page report by three House committees alleged that Biden profited from an influence-peddling scheme to enrich himself and members of his family through foreign business dealings beginning in 2014 when Biden was vice president.

Jim Jordan, head of the Judiciary Committee, said the investigation showed “conclusively” that Biden had “abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates.”

“President Biden’s legacy is marked by abuse of public office, corruption and obstruction. The evidence produced by our impeachment inquiry is the strongest case for impeachment of a sitting president the House of Representatives has ever investigated,” said James Comer, head of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

But the nearly yearlong inquiry released by the Republicans on Monday, stops short of alleging any criminal wrongdoing by the president, who decided last month not to run for re-election this year. (Read more from “US House Republicans Release Impeachment Report on President Joe Biden” HERE)
