House Formalizes Impeachment Inquiry Into President Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a significant move, the House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to formalize an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The resolution, adopted by a vote of 221 to 212, grants House investigators the authority to enforce subpoenas and collect evidence regarding allegations that the president may have traded official acts for foreign dollars, potentially compromising his position.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stated that the formalized status of the inquiry will empower investigators to delve into key issues, including two loan agreements totaling $240,000 between Joe Biden and James Biden. The resolution was supported unanimously by Republicans, including a surprising vote from Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), who had initially signaled opposition to the impeachment focus.

On the Democratic side, there was a unanimous block vote against the resolution’s adoption. The White House faced criticism for failing to provide requested information, including details about loan agreements, 99.98 percent of records from President Biden, documents related to a $5 million bribe, and materials concerning the mishandling of classified documents.

This vote served as a test for House Republicans, who currently hold a slim majority that is expected to diminish further after the resignations of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Bill Johnson (R-FL) in the coming month. McCarthy had opened an “impeachment inquiry” on September 12, but the formal approval was only secured on Wednesday.

Amidst the political turmoil, Hunter Biden, the president’s son, faced scrutiny as he appeared at the Capitol for a press conference following his failure to attend a subpoenaed closed-door deposition. House investigators, particularly House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH), initiated contempt of Congress proceedings against Hunter.

Recent polls indicate widespread skepticism among Americans regarding the Justice Department’s handling of the Hunter Biden investigation and raised concerns about potential criminal activities involving President Joe Biden.

WATCH: President Biden Smirks, Evades Questions on Hunter’s Subpoena Defiance

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden displayed a dismissive attitude towards reporters’ questions regarding his son, Hunter Biden, who had defied a congressional subpoena. The President’s refusal to address the issue occurred after Hunter Biden skipped a closed-door deposition with congressional investigators, potentially setting the stage for contempt of Congress proceedings that House Republicans had been warning of if he failed to comply with the subpoena.

President Biden’s remarks unfolded at the conclusion of a National Infrastructure Advisory Council event. Following his remarks, Biden called on reporters to leave the room. In response to a shouted question about whether his son should have defied the subpoena, President Biden smirked and opted not to provide an answer.

The incident highlights the intensifying scrutiny surrounding Hunter Biden’s actions and the potential legal consequences he may face for his failure to cooperate with congressional investigators. House Republicans have been vocal about the possibility of pursuing contempt of Congress proceedings if Hunter continues to defy the subpoena.

IRS Whistleblowers: Joe Biden Leads ‘Off the Table’ in Hunter Biden Investigation

/1 Comment/in , /by

New testimony from IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, reveals that during the Department of Justice’s criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, any potential investigative leads involving Joe Biden were deliberately excluded. The testimony, presented before the House Ways and Means Committee, discloses that the agents were prohibited from exploring leads that could have implications for the former Vice President.

Ziegler, responding to questioning from Republican Georgia Rep. Drew Ferguson, stated, “Well, that’s the complex part about this is at the end of the day, any questions that might have led to former Vice President, they were kind of off the table.” Shapley echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the limitations imposed on investigating financial transactions and communications between Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.

The IRS whistleblowers expressed frustration over their inability to pursue leads related to Joe Biden, citing the unusual nature of the investigative process. Shapley specifically referenced the infamous “10 held by H for the big guy” remark from Hunter Biden’s associate, James Gilliar, stating that such leads, which could have provided insights into financial transactions between father and son, were not allowed to be investigated.

The testimony from the IRS whistleblowers aligns with previous allegations of special treatment given to Hunter Biden during the DOJ investigation into taxes and firearms possession. The House Republicans’ report on December 5 substantiates key claims made by the whistleblowers.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf attempted to prevent Joe Biden from being included in a search warrant related to lobbying firm Blue Star Strategies. Documents released by the Ways and Means Committee in September reveal instructions to remove “political figure 1,” identified as Joe Biden, from the search warrant.

Chinese Business Associate Paid Hunter Biden $1,000,000 For Non-Existent Legal Services, Docs Show

/1 Comment/in , /by

Hunter Biden’s former Chinese business associate Patrick Ho paid him $1 million for apparent legal services that were never performed, newly released documents show.

Ho and Hunter Biden signed an attorney engagement letter in September 2017 where Ho agreed to pay Hunter Biden $1 million as a retainer for future legal services, according to a copy of the engagement letter, released Dec. 5 by the House Ways and Means Committee.

A former executive at defunct Chinese infrastructure firm CEFC, federal authorities arrested Ho in November 2017 on bribery charges related to his work for CEFC. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York prosecuted Ho, and Hunter Biden was not included as an attorney on the case record, IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler said in an affidavit disclosed by the House Ways and Means Committee.

“Hunter Biden is not included as an attorney on record for the Patrick Ho case in the Southern District of New York. This engagement letter related to the $1 million allegedly paid for the legal representation of Patrick Ho,” Ziegler stated.

“The $1 million payment was paid to Hunter Biden and his entity Owasco LLC on or about March 22, 2018, 9 days prior to Hunter Biden leaving for California for his self-proclaimed exile,” Ziegler added.

The White House Sure Is Appreciative of Mitt Romney

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) is only in office for about another year, and it sure looks like he’s using his time to frustrate fellow Republicans while helping out President Joe Biden and the Democrats. On Sunday, the senator appeared on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” during which he was asked about evidence for an impeachment inquiry against the president.

How he responded was worthy of getting the White House’s attention. The Biden-Harris HQ X account also shared a clip of the segment. “As you know, House Republicans have signaled that they may vote as early as this week on an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, despite the fact that they haven’t shown, yet, a direct link between Hunter Biden’s business dealings and President Biden,” host Kristen Welker claimed. “Have you seen any evidence that President Biden has committed high crimes and misdemeanors,” she went on to ask.

Although he stammered a bit with his response, Romney claimed he had not. “No. I–I–I don’t see any evidence of that at all. I think before you begin an impeachment inquiry, you ought to have some evidence, some inclination that there’s been wrongdoing. And so far, there’s nothing of that nature that’s been provided,” he shared.

As The Hill reported, a White House spokesperson sent out an email including a partial transcript and a clip of the segment, touting Romney’s opposition to impeachment. (Read more from “The White House Sure Is Appreciative of Mitt Romney” HERE)

There Was One Major Detail Missing From the Hunter Biden Indictment

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Hunter Biden was indicted yet again, and this time it’s really a doozy. He’s facing nine counts on tax-related charges, which could land him in prison for 17 years. As significant of a step as this is, especially when the weaponized and politicized Department of Justice (DOJ) had tried to go with a sweetheart deal, there’s still significant details missing. During the Friday episode of “The Verdict,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and co-host Ben Ferguson examined how something, or rather, someone, is missing.

As the co-hosts discussed how much Hunter Biden spent on what each year over four years rather than paying his taxes, Ferguson highlighted it’s important to “follow the money” when it comes to services supposedly rendered by Hunter, which speaks to money laundering since no services were offered, and how there’s a connection to President Joe Biden himself.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) have also highlighted emails Biden sent as vice president using an alias, without CC’ing his son. Ferguson thus insisted “the idea that he wasn’t involved in his son’s business world is a flat-out lie.”

While Cruz acknowledged that 17 years is “not a slap on the wrist, it’s not mild,” it still “enrages” him that the president’s name isn’t even mentioned. How they managed to keep the president’s name out of there, as Ferguson asked, is thanks to the DOJ and how they’ve been not only “profoundly politicized,” as Cruz mentioned earlier in the podcast, but also has been “obsessively focused on ‘protect the big guy.'”

At one point, the Democrats and the mainstream media have focused on how the president is just out to protect his son, an individual overcome with grief and who thus turned to the kind of lifestyle he did, which included the use of drugs. Cruz went on to describe how the narrative though, now, is to protect the president. (Read more from “There Was One Major Detail Missing From the Hunter Biden Indictment” HERE)

Victim Hunter: GOP ‘Motherf**kers’ Trying ‘To Kill Me’; DOJ Indictments Attempt to Protect Joe

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. During a portion of an interview with “The Moby Pod” released on Friday, Hunter Biden stated that he is “not going to let these motherf*ckers use me as just another example of why people in recovery are never going to be okay,” and that the attacks on his business dealings are akin to how Nazis attacked their opponents and Putin attacked his critics.

After relaying a story of a teacher who claimed that he was running a sex trafficking ring and imprisoning children, Biden stated [relevant remarks begin around 42:40] that “there’s not much difference from that than when Fox News went on a tear that I was, in some way, connected to funding the Wuhan lab that created COVID…but also, then it went to the entire Russian Defense Ministry held a two-hour press conference to explain how [George Soros and I] were funding bioweapons labs in Ukraine in order to release migratory birds infected with diseases over Russia or that I’m a foreign agent because I got paid for doing business with foreign companies or that I am a sex trafficker because I wrote in my book that I slept with prostitutes. … [T]hey have expanded it that I am, in one sense, a mastermind criminal running a global syndicate, and on the other [hand], that I am a degenerate that can’t tie my shoes and that I should never have been in business because I’m a moron and I wasn’t doing any business, I was just basically letting people — I was being a rain bucket and letting people — but that I’m running bioweapons labs with George Soros that are going to infect the Russian population.” . . .

Biden later said, “I am not going to let these motherf*ckers use me as just another example of why people in recovery are never going to be okay, never to be trusted, they’re all degenerates.”

Comer: DOJ Indicted Hunter to Protect Joe Biden

By Breitbart. House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that he believed Hunter Biden was indicted by federal prosecutor David Weiss on nine federal tax counts on Thursday to protect his father President Joe Biden.

Comer said, “What he got charged with, with that indictment last night, that had nothing to do with all of the so-called loans that the Bidens have taken. We’ve identified, it appears, with the president’s son and brother, over $14 million in loans where it doesn’t look like they made any payments on, principal or interest. And what point do those loans, if you’re not going to pay ’em back, become income?

Comer added, “So, we think this is just the tip of the iceberg. We think there’s many more crimes. and my concern is that Weiss may have indicted Hunter Biden to protect him from having to be deposed in the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.” (Read more from “Comer: DOJ Indicted Hunter to Protect Joe Biden” HERE)

Biden Caught in Another Lie

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .This week, the president took a question from Steven Nelson of the New York Post— a reporter whom White House Press Secretaries Karine Jean-Pierre has refused to call on since May. . .

“Can you explain to the Americans, amid this impeachment inquiry, why you interacted with so many of your son and brother’s foreign business associates?” Nelson asked. . .

“I did not. And it’s just a bunch of lies. They’re lies. I did not. They’re lies,” the 81-year-old president said.

Following Biden’s denial, Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski called on the president to “stop lying” and “correct the record” about his 2017 meeting.

“Why is Joe Biden blatantly lying to the American people and the world by claiming he did not meet me face to face?” Bobulinski told Fox News Digital. “He should call his son Hunter and brother Jim as they can remind him of the facts. The American people deserve the truth!” (Read more from “Biden Caught in Another Lie” HERE)

White House Reveals Whether Joe Biden Will Pardon Son Hunter in Light of New Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre revealed Friday whether President Joe Biden will pardon Hunter Biden in the wake of fresh criminal charges being filed against him.

Jean-Pierre spoke to reporters on Air Force One and briefly addressed the nine new tax charges leveled onto Hunter Biden by a California grand jury Thursday.

“The president has said this before, and he will continue to say, which is that he loves his son and supports him as he continues to rebuild his life. I’m going to be really careful and not comment on this and refer you to Department of Justice or my colleagues at the White House counsel,” Jean-Pierre said.

“I’m not gonna go beyond telling you all what the president has said over and over again. He’s proud of his son,” she added. (Read more from “White House Reveals Whether Joe Biden Will Pardon Son Hunter in Light of New Charges” HERE)

Hunter Biden Indicted on Nine Charges, Including Felonies

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is indicted on nine charges, including three felonies, related to tax evasion, failure to file taxes, and submitting fraudulent tax returns. The 56-page indictment, filed in a federal court in Los Angeles, alleges that Hunter Biden engaged in a four-year scheme to evade taxes totaling at least $1.4 million for the tax years 2016 through 2019.

The charges, brought by Special Counsel David Weiss and assigned to Judge Mark Scarsi, claim that Hunter Biden spent millions on an extravagant lifestyle instead of fulfilling his tax obligations. The indictment accuses him of willfully failing to pay taxes for the specified years, despite having access to funds to cover these liabilities.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss as special counsel in August to oversee the investigation into Hunter Biden. The Justice Department stated that if convicted, Hunter Biden could face a maximum of 17 years in prison.

The case originated from Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings, particularly his involvement with Ukrainian energy company Burisma and a Chinese private equity fund. Despite a plea deal falling apart in July, the new tax case brings to light allegations of false business deductions and manipulation of the payroll and tax withholding process within Hunter Biden’s company.

The indictment of Hunter Biden on nine charges, including three felonies, represents a significant development in the ongoing investigation into his financial activities. As the legal proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen how this situation will impact the broader political landscape and the Biden administration.
