“Biden Family Sleaze”

When Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he was appointing David Weiss as special counsel, he failed to mention § 600.3(c) of the Code of Federal Regulations entitled “Qualifications of the Special Counsel.” These qualifications include the following: “The special counsel shall be selected from outside the United States government.” (Emphasis added)

This requirement is the law. The regulations were authorized by Congress under 5 U.S.C. 301, 509, 510, 515-519. The attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States. It is certainly expected that he would obey the law in its entirety.

Remember Hunter Biden’s extortionate WhatsApp message to his Chinese business associate, Henry Zhao? The message we just learned about in June because Gary Shapley, an IRS whistleblower agent, shone a light on it? The message that spun up Congress and much of the public, and even stirred the press out of its slumber for a moment or two, because it undeniably implicated President Biden?

President Joe Biden’s role as “the brand” for son Hunter’s lucrative international influence-peddling may have benefited him directly, according to mounting evidence from the first son’s abandoned laptop.

Newly revealed bank records released by the House Oversight Committee show that the president’s family and allies hauled in a staggering $20 million from foreign sources in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and China, some of whom met personally with Biden while he served as vice president.

As they say, you can’t make it up.

The man who has slow-walked and botched the Hunter Biden investigation has now been named the special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation.

As NewsBusters reported Thursday evening, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer appeared on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper and laid out the evidence he had so far that pointed to President Biden being involved in his family’s “sleazy” (Jake Tapper’s word) business dealings. It broke open the floodgates of cable coverage as CNN and MSNBC (36 minutes and 37 seconds combined) reacted by claiming Comer had nothing at all. This was all before U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland elevated U.S. Attorney David Weiss to special counsel status to investigate Hunter Biden further.

As US attorney, David Weiss slow-walked the Biden case for years

At long last, Attorney General Merrick Garland decided to appoint a special counsel to continue the investigation of Hunter Biden, his family and associates. His choice: US Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, who has been on the case for several years. He was originally appointed as US attorney by Donald Trump, a point Democrats always highlight without noting that he was promoted by both Democratic senators from the state.

Rep. Greg Seube of Florida filed articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden over his involvement in his son’s corrupt foreign business dealings on Friday.

“It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden,” Steube said in a press release. “He has undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens. The evidence continues to mount by the day – the Biden Crime Family has personally profited off Joe’s government positions through bribery, threats, and fraud. Joe Biden must not be allowed to continue to sit in the White House, selling out our country.”

Whole family should be tossed in the pokey.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Attorney David Weiss will be appointed special counsel in the ongoing probe of the president’s son Hunter Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday.

Weiss will be responsible for the “ongoing investigation” of President Joe Biden’s son “as well as for any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation,” the Justice Department said in a statement. Weiss, who was already overseeing the Hunter Biden probe and is based in Delaware, asked to be appointed special counsel on Tuesday and Garland agreed it was “in the public interest” to do so, the attorney general said.

Rep. James Comer said Thursday his committee will subpoena members of the Biden family to testify about their business dealings – and he expects the matter to devolve into a messy legal dispute.

‘This was always gonna end with the Bidens coming in front of the committee. We are going to subpoena the family,’ Comer, R-Ky., said on Fox Business Thursday morning.

‘We know that this is going to end up in court when we subpoena the Bidens,’ he added.

Can the Biden crime family get any tawdrier? They’re already giving the Clintons a run for their money.

The House Oversight Committee has revealed that in “April, Kenes Rakishev, a Kazakhstani oligarch, wired $142,300 to Rosemont Seneca Bohai. The next day, a payment was made from Rosemont Seneca Bohai for a sportscar for Hunter Biden in the amount of $142,300. Archer and Biden then arranged for Burisma executives to visit Kazakhstan in June 2014 to evaluate a three-way deal among Burisma, a Chinese state-owned company, and the government of Kazakhstan.”

The Biden family and its business associates received millions of dollars from oligarchs in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine while Joe Biden was vice president, according to bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee.

With the new payments included, the committee says it has now identified more than $20 million in payments from foreign sources to the Biden family and their business associates. Those foreign sources include not only the three aforementioned countries, but also China and Romania as well.

A new report that Hunter Biden’s business partner visited the White House or the vice president’s residence at least 36 times during the Obama administration has cast even more doubt on President Biden’s repeated assertions that he “knew nothing” about his son’s business affairs. This comes as Speaker McCarthy again says that the matter of “‘paying-to-play’ with the Biden family … is rising to the level of impeachment inquiry.”

The House Oversight Committee released bank records Wednesday showing Hunter Biden took millions of dollars worth of payments from Russian, Ukrainian and Kazakh oligarchs.

Hunter Biden received millions from Russian oligarch Elena Baturina, Ukrainian energy firm Burisma and Kazakh oligarch Kenes Rakishev when his father was vice president, the committee found. The committee has identified over $20 million in payments from foreign partners to the Biden family and their associates.

Earlier this month, former Hunter Biden associate Devon Archer testified before the House Oversight Committee, and he made it very clear that Hunter Biden was selling influence with his father while the latter was vice president. Democrats tried to spin the testimony as being a dud, but Archer demonstrated that Hunter Biden used his “very powerful name” to “add value” in pitching and securing foreign business ventures, and that Joe Biden frequently was present during business calls to help sell the Biden “brand.”
