Jonathan Turley:
Monetary Benefits to Biden Family Implicate Joe Biden in Wrongdoing

Jonathan Turley: Monetary Benefits to Biden Family Implicate Joe Biden
Monetary benefits to Biden family members are benefits to Joe Biden and implicate him in wrongdoing, legal scholar Jonathan Turley said.

Monetary benefits to Biden family members are benefits to President Joe Biden and therefore implicate him in wrongdoing, legal scholar Jonathan Turley said during Thursday’s impeachment inquiry hearing.
“Can a benefit to your family be a benefit to you?” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) asked Turley regarding Joe Biden and his family’s alleged influence peddling.
“It is,” Turley replied.
Turley said Democrats claim that it must be proven that Joe Biden accepted direct money in order for him to be implicated in Biden family wrongdoing. The legal scholar called that claim “fallacious.”
“There’s been a repeated [Democrat] statements that you need to show that President Biden accepted direct money in order for this to constitute a benefit even under criminal cases that deal with bribery, extortion, the Hobbs Act,” Turley prefaced. “The courts actually have rejected that. They’ve said that money going to family members is, in fact, a benefit.”
“I don’t really see any legal basis for that,” he said, referring to the Democrats’ claim. “Obviously, the strongest case is if you have a direct payment, but this idea that you can have millions going to a politician’s family. And that’s not a benefit. I think it’s pretty fallacious.”
Turley later added to his opinion in response to Rep. Gary Palmer’s (R-AL) pointed question about Joe Biden potentially using his former office of the vice presidency to benefit his family. “In your view, could the promise of foreign access to any official government official, whether it’s the vice president or anybody else — that only materially benefited a family member — could that be influence peddling?” Palmer asked.
Commentary:
Expert witness, Jonathan Turley, a law professor, called nervous Democrats’ claims “fallacious.”
Democrats at the Biden impeachment hearing keep whining that it must be “proven that Joe Biden directly accepted money” in order to be implicated in Hunter’s influence peddling schemes and the Biden Crime Family’s wrongdoing.
I`ve asked this question several times yet not one democrat has explained to me why a Vice President needs three alias email addresses, and a former president used alias names throughout his life?
I’ll wait.. and if those emails are SO innocent, lets see them, ALL OF THEM..I know they would already be released had Donald Trump had even ONE alias email address, or went by alias names during his lifetime.
