Hunter Biden Indicted on the Few Charges That Don’t Implicate Joe Biden

Hunter Biden, the wayward son of President Joe Biden, has been indicted on three federal gun charges — and of all the allegations he faces, these are the only ones that would not implicate his father in wrongdoing.

Special Counsel David Weiss filed three felony gun charges against Hunter Biden on Thursday, which could lead to up to 25 years in prison. These are the first charges after a “sweetheart” plea bargain fell apart in July when it was questioned by a judge.

But that deal also included misdemeanor charges of willful failure to file federal taxes. The taxes had to do with the income Hunter Biden appears to have earned thanks to business connections he made with the help of his father, when Joe Biden was vice president. Critics of the deal said that Hunter Biden also should have been charged with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) — which might also have implicated Joe Biden in his actions.

Joe Biden’s role in Hunter Biden’s business dealings was significant enough that Hunter Biden’s lawyer at the time, Chris Clark, reportedly threatened to call the president to the witness stand for the defense if his son was charged.

Very Fake News: White House, Democrats, Media Claims of ‘No Evidence’ to Support Biden Impeachment Inquiry Contradicted by Mountains of Evidence

By Breitbart. The White House, Democrats, and their allied media outlets have been pushing outright disinformation by claiming there is “no evidence” to support an impeachment inquiry into Democrat President Joe Biden, contradicting mounds of evidence uncovered by House Republicans and already in the public sphere.

The left’s message since the launch of the impeachment inquiry into Biden seems clear and coordinated: several media outlets, Democrats, and the White House itself have all used phrases such as “without evidence,” “no evidence,” or “no direct evidence” to describe the House GOP effort that Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced earlier this week. But their claims are, quite simply, disinformation and easily disproven as the House Republicans have actually amassed quite a bit of evidence this year before proceeding to the next stage of the ongoing investigation — a massive escalation — with an impeachment inquiry.

It is important to note an impeachment inquiry is not the consideration of articles of impeachment. That could — or might not — come later. But an impeachment inquiry is simply that: an inquiry. It is an expansion, acceleration, and coordination of several committees’ ongoing investigative work and may end up leading to an impeachment — or it might not. That remains unclear. While McCarthy launched it with a public comment and directive to the members of his conference and the committees that will lead it, McCarthy’s comments also do not preclude an eventual possible vote formally authorizing such an inquiry down the road. That’s exactly what House Democrats did under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi in their first impeachment of then-President Donald Trump in 2019 — she made an announcement and then five weeks later the House formally voted on the authorization. That could very well happen here.

Nonetheless, given the expansion and acceleration of the ongoing investigations into the president and his conduct, and with the announcement of the now-commenced impeachment inquiry, House Republicans have already amassed lots of evidence against Biden.

‘Consistent With the 1023 Form’: Jim Jordan Lays Out Evidence Backing Biden Impeachment Inquiry

By Daily Caller. Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio said that President Joe Biden’s actions were consistent with those described in a form outlining bribery allegations against Biden.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday that an impeachment inquiry would move forward, with Jordan joining Republican Reps. James Comey of Ohio and Jason Smith of Missouri in leading the probe into business dealings involving Hunter Biden. Republican Sen. Charles Grassley released the FD-1023 form containing allegations that the Bidens received millions of dollars in bribes obtained from a whistleblower July 20.

“There are four key facts that just capture this all,” Jordan told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “The first is Hunter is put on the board of Burisma. Second, he wasn’t qualified to be on the board of Burisma. Third, the people on Burisma say, ‘hey we need help with D.C. to get rid of the pressure this prosecutor is putting on us.’ Fourth, Joe Biden goes to Ukraine and gets the prosecutor fired and he uses our tax dollars, he leverages our tax money, the people of the fourth district of Ohio that I represent, leverages their money to get that done.”

“And when he did it, it was an abrupt turn from the policy of the Obama administration. And, frankly, what he did is consistent with the 1023 form and what the confidential human source said took place,” Jordan continued. “So, if that doesn’t warrant opening an impeachment inquiry, I don’t know what does. And then you add to that the layer of how the Justice Department has handled this case for four and a half years, I think we have to investigate.” (Read more from “‘Consistent With the 1023 Form’: Jim Jordan Lays Out Evidence Backing Biden Impeachment Inquiry” HERE)

Hunter Biden Said He Was ‘Office Mates’ With Joe Biden and a Chinese Business Associate, Emails Show

Hunter Biden told a property manager to give him keys for new “office mates” Joe Biden, Jill Biden, James Biden and a Chinese business associate, emails on his laptop archive indicate.

Hunter Biden emailed a Washington, D.C., property manager in September 2017 requesting the office keys and a new sign showing that the Biden Foundation and business venture Hudson West III’s were present at the office, according to a partially redacted email disclosed by the House Oversight Committee.

Hunter Biden asked the manager to keep the property lease under investment firm Rosemont Seneca’s name and sent Joe Biden’s personal cell phone number to the manager for confirmation. Joe Biden’s contact information and the office’s location are redacted for privacy purposes.

Rosemont Seneca had moved into the office space in February 2017, according to emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop archive sent by former business associate Joan Mayer, whose email signature noted the move for months afterwards.

Hunter Biden appears to have gotten into a dispute with the property manager in late September 2017 for an issue with unknown visitors coming into the office after hours. He threatened a lawsuit against the office space for alleged discrimination and forwarded the threat to his attorney, emails on Biden’s laptop archive show.

Rep. James Comer Reveals Next Steps in Biden Impeachment Inquiry

Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky said that investigators from the House Oversight Committee would be seeking bank records involving Hunter Biden and Jim Biden as part of an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden as well as any correspondence the president sent under an alias.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday that an impeachment inquiry would move forward, with Comer joining Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jason Smith of Missouri leading the probe into business dealings involving Hunter Biden. The House Oversight Committee released bank records Aug. 9 showing that Hunter Biden received millions of dollars from Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, who was married to Moscow Mayor Yuri Luhzkov until his death in 2019.

“This is a very important tool in the toolbox. This will help us, when we go to court, to get some of these bank records,” Comer told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. “This will help the judge, force the judge to have to rule quicker. It also trumps executive privilege if the Bidens try to say anything we were trying to get, they couldn’t have because of executive privilege and it also allows to us get things like grand jury testimony. There is a precedence when Jerry Nadler was leading the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump. They were requesting information and they said they couldn’t hand it over because it was grand jury testimony and the judge ruled because of the impeachment inquiry, then Nadler could then have it.”

“This is a tool we needed to move forward. We’re going next after two things,” Comer continued. “First of all, the bank accounts of Hunter Biden and Jim Biden, because we believe as you have seen the arrows where we show from countries like China, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, there’s arrows through these shell companies, then they end up in nine different Biden personal bank accounts. We want to look at the personal bank accounts to see if there are any arrows beyond that to pay for things of value for Joe Biden. The other thing we want to use impeachment inquiry is to force these agencies to turn over correspondence. We’ve requested all the emails that were in the pseudonyms. We know there were 5,400 of those, one pertained to Ukrainian policy and Hunter Biden was copied on it, so, these are things we need and I believe with this new impeachment inquiry designation, we’ll able to get it much quicker.” (Read more from “Rep. James Comer Reveals Next Steps in Biden Impeachment Inquiry” HERE)

Take One Guess Who Joe Biden Is Pleading With to Fight Impeachment

No sooner had House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced an inquiry into whether Joe Biden should be impeached, based on evidence Congress already has obtained about alleged corruption, than the White House announced it wanted legacy media corporations to fight back against the review of the evidence.

A report from the Daily Mail revealed Biden’s White House plans to send letters to major news organizations including CNN and the Associated Press “demanding they probe the ‘lies’ of the House GOP’s impeachment inquiry.”

The AP, even before the letter officially was dispatched, seemed on board, with its claims that the Republicans have been “aggressively” investigating Biden and have been making claims “without evidence.”

In fact, McCarthy in a letter to House members outlined extensive evidence that already is in hand.

That includes that “President Biden lied to the American people about knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings,” the $20 million in payments “directed to Biden family members,” that the family has generated more than 150 “suspicious activity” reports from banks, the FBI document alleging a $10 million bribe to the Bidens, and the entire Burisma scandal, where Joe Biden, as vice president, ordered the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor looking into corruption at a company that was paying Hunter Biden millions of dollars.

Joe Biden’s Claims About 9/11 Actually Get Fact-Checked

On Monday, President Joe Biden not only failed to speak at one of the memorial ceremonies on the 22nd anniversary of where the attacks occurred, he also told one of his tall tales, claiming he was at Ground Zero on September 12, 2001. In the process, it appears the president also managed to plagiarize Hillary Clinton, who as a senator from New York at the time, had been there the day after. . .

CNN’s Daniel Dale, who has shied away from fact-checking the president in the past, despite that being his job description, was forced to address Biden’s claims.

On Tuesday, “CNN News Central” played the clip of Biden’s remarks in question, with host Brianna Keilar pointing out “that’s not actually true,” as she asked Dale “when did Biden actually visit Ground Zero?”

As Dale explained, that would be on September 20, 2001, nine days later. He went as part of a bipartisan delegation of senators, with Biden serving as a senator from Delaware at the time. “I asked the White House last night about this claim. They provided a photo of him there on September 20th, reiterated that he was there that day. I think some people might say, okay, you know, he was there,” Dale continued. “It’s just days, a matter of days later. Maybe he forgot. And maybe he forgot.”

“But look, it’s 9-11. It’s sensitive. He’s speaking to military and first responders. So, I think the facts matter,” the fact-checker pointed out in actually fact-checking the White House as he explained why the claim can’t just be easily dismissed.

IRS Whistleblower Reveals David Weiss ‘Not the Deciding Person’ in Hunter Biden Case

Contemporaneous notes handwritten by IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley during an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting about the tax fraud investigation of first son Hunter Biden indicate Delaware US Attorney David Weiss said he was “not the deciding person” in bringing criminal charges.

The notes were released Wednesday by Shapley’s lawyers following a transcribed Sept. 7 House Judiciary Committee interview of Baltimore FBI Special Agent in Charge Tom Sobocinski, who attended the meeting and told the panel that he couldn’t recall the exchange.

“Weiss stated — He is not the deciding person,” the handwritten notes from Shapley say.

The document was released one day after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) launched an impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s alleged role in his son Hunter and brother James Biden’s foreign business dealings.

“Mr. Sobocinski was one of seven attendees in the October 7, 2022 meeting,” wrote Shapley’s lawyers Tristan Leavitt and Mark Lytle in a letter accompanying the release of the handwritten notes, which contained redactions made by the tax-focused House Ways and Means Committee.

Reporter Calls Out Biden’s Frequent Gaffes at White House Briefing: ‘What Is Going On With the President?’

White House National Security Council John Kirby dodged a question about President Biden’s frequent factual embellishments after the commander-in-chief falsely claimed this week to have been at Ground Zero the day after the 9/11 attacks.

“The president has lied about being at Ground Zero the day after the Sept. 11 attacks, falsely claimed he saw the Pittsburgh bridge collapse, claimed his grandfather died in the hospital days before his birth. What is going on with the president? Is he just believing things that didn’t happen did happen, or is he just randomly making stuff up?” Washington Times reporter Jeff Mordock pointedly asked Kirby in a jaw-dropping moment during Wednesday’s White House press briefing.

Kirby, a retired Navy rear admiral and veteran military public affairs officer, sidestepped the question, highlighting Biden’s Monday trip to visit troops in Alaska and clarifying the 80-year-old president’s Ground Zero gaffe.

“The president was deeply touched and honored to be able to spend 9/11 with military members there in Alaska and some families and was honored by their presence and the chance to make an important set of remarks about why we need to continue to remember that day. And he did that,” Kirby, 60, said.

“And he spoke about a visit to Ground Zero, which he did participate in about a week or so after the event, and what that looked and what that smelled and what that felt like. And it had a visceral impact on him as it did so many other Americans on that terrible day.” (Read more from “Reporter Calls Out Biden’s Frequent Gaffes at White House Briefing: ‘What Is Going On With the President?” HERE)

‘F—ing Spy Chief of China’: ‘Irregularities’ Found in DOJ Probe of Biden Associate

The Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation and prosecution of CEFC China Energy Co. boss and Biden family associate Patrick Ho displayed “irregularities,” including concealing known connections between the Chinese Communist Party-linked entity and the Bidens, and communication between Hunter Biden and the FBI agents involved in Ho’s case, according to a memo by the Heritage Foundation Oversight Project.

Ho, infamously referred to as “the f***ing spy chief of China” by Hunter Biden, was arrested in November, 2017, and convicted in December, 2018, in the Southern District of New York and sentenced to 3 years in prison for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and money laundering. Ho’s first phone call upon his arrest was to Hunter Biden, who was allegedly providing legal services to him at the time.

Now, a memo by the Heritage Foundation obtained exclusively by Breitbart News alleges that since Ho’s conviction, “significant evidence has emerged identifying concerning irregularities with the DOJ investigation and prosecution,” including that “DOJ was aware of connections between the Biden family and CEFC at least as early as 2017 and that they acted to conceal this information from the public,” as well as “contacts between Hunter Biden and FBI agents related to Ho’s arrest,” and “a leak of investigatory information in the Ho case.”

The memo cites the fact that Ho was under FISA surveillance during a period where he was in “regular communication” with CEFC and the Biden family, which would indicate the FBI and DOJ had knowledge of their business arrangements in at least 2017, and probably in 2016.

The memo also cites evidence that the DOJ redacted mentions of the Biden family — specifically, Hunter Biden — in the evidence presented at Ho’s 2018 trial. For instance, Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Richenthal requested redactions of an email presented in the case for the purpose of avoiding a “political dimension”— which was eventually revealed on Hunter Biden’s “laptop from Hell.” (Read more from “‘F—ing Spy Chief of China’: ‘Irregularities’ Found in DOJ Probe of Biden Associate” HERE)

WATCH: Biden Blankly Stares, Refuses to Answer Impeachment Inquiry Questions

President Joe Biden refused to answer — appearing to blankly stare into the distance — when questioned for the first time about the House impeachment inquiry about him for “abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption.”

During a meeting with his Cancer Cabinet in the White House, Joe Biden refused to answer questions about the inquiry, appearing to blankly stare, lick his lips, and rub his hands before leaning over to first lady Jill Biden.

The video showed Jill Biden point to her left, causing Joe Biden to scan the room while questions rang out from reporters for over 30 seconds about the newly launched inquiry.

After refusing to answer questions, White House staffers ushered reporters from the room:
