Left-wing media outlet Axios finally admits Biden corruption is real

[Godboy]

Done deal. Biden isn't running.

Joe and his family will go to prison if he doesnt run. There is no chance that Joe backs out. If he isnt forced out somehow, he will be the DNC's candidate.

Are you going to send him to jail for having dinner with someone and talking about food assistance to poor countries?

'The Biden corruption is real.'

No, but he will go to jail for a number of crimes.

 

[Marener]

No, but he will go to jail for a number of crimes.

People don't go to jail for imaginary crimes.

You are 1 hell of a good little Democrat soldier.
Facts be damned.

At the debate.

My son has not made money in terms of (what) this thing (is) about, what are you (are) talking about, China," Biden said.

Was that a lie? When the N.Y. Post and Giuliani and lap top accusations were flying around and being thrown against the wall in mass ....about his business dealings in China with no proof of illegality as the speculated claims made?

Btw, what high crime and misdemeanor was committed with a candidate lying? Shoot, Trump would have been impeached his first day on the campaign trail....likely all candidates running within their first week!

Under the Trump era, we've already learned from him and his lawyers, Lying they've said, is constitutional free political speech.

Not that I think that statement of Joe's written above, is a lie when it is discerned in what he was actually referring to....the lies said on the right, about Hunter and dealings in China.

Right now there is more proof of Biden Crime Family corruption than there ever was of Trump/Putin collusion. Eventually the bank records will prove Joe personally profited by selling his influence. I realize the Democratic Party has the philosophy that if you tell a lie often enough, people believe it

Views from the nation’s press

Keep investigating President Biden. But talk of impeachment is premature and driven by a desire for retribution in the wake of the Democratic House’s vindictive efforts to remove Trump. That won’t …

House Republicans have “turned up no evidence of wrongdoing,” Ian Sams, a White House spokesman, wrote on X. The Associated Press reported, “House Republicans have aggressively investigated Biden and his son, claiming without evidence that they engaged in an influence-peddling scheme.”

But Republicans have uncovered plenty of concerning evidence. That includes bank records showing $20 million flowed to the Biden family and its associates through a number of shell companies. Republicans exposed an FBI form from a confidential source implicating President Biden in a scheme involving the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Witnesses have confirmed that President Biden spoke to his son during Hunter Biden’s business meetings. Republicans have also uncovered that the Treasury Department flagged as suspicious more than 150 transactions involving the Biden family and its business associates.

Then, there’s Hunter Biden’s laptop. One email outlined a potential ownership arrangement for a holding company that would own half of an investment group started with $10 million of Chinese money. “The equity will be distributed as follows,” an email from James Gilliar, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, read. The list included “10 (percent) held by H for the big guy.” Tony Bobulinski, another former Hunter Biden business associate, later identified the “big guy” as Joe Biden.

“I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years,” Hunter Biden wrote in a text to his daughter in January 2019, according to texts from the laptop. “It’s really hard. But don’t worry, unlike pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.”

Very surprising coming from Axios, which has been a DNC PR organization for years.

The lie the left has decided to unify behind is "no evidence" (lately it's been "no direct evidence"...lol), but this report definitely says different.

I think the rats are starting to desert the sinking ship.



Just before the 2020 election, Joe Biden and his campaign said his son Hunter hadn't made money from China — and that Biden hadn't met one of Hunter's Ukrainian business associates while he was vice president, except for maybe a brief hello.

• Both of those claims were false, according to recent sworn testimony by Hunter Biden and his business partner, Devon Archer.

Why it matters: House Republican leaders now have zeroed in on those two denials by Joe Biden in 2020 to help justify an impeachment inquiry into the president.

• "Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings," Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday as he announced the inquiry.
• McCarthy cited the contradictions between Joe Biden's denials and the sworn testimony Hunter Biden gave in court in July, and what Archer said in testimony to Congress in August.

No evidence OF A CRIME idiot.

Lets say we take all the reaching assertions in OP as fact - is saying falsehoods or lying to public any sort of a crime?

Nope, if it was, Trump would be hung long ago in mosts cruel and unusual way.

I like how they say both claims were false, but they don't say why they are false.

The first of many impeachment hearings is coming up on Thursday.

Witnesses from the DOJ and the IRS will give testimony, and subpoenaed bank records will be the topics of the hearing.

 

[AntonToo]

"We will present evidence uncovered to date and hear from legal and financial experts about crimes the BidenS may have committed"

Let me translate that for the rightwing dupes:

Comer is saying here that he doesn't have any evidence of criminality against Biden himself, so he has to talk about what his family members may or may not have done.

Far Left USA Today -

Bribing for access: Menendez indictment raises questions about Hunter Biden case – and DOJ​

While President Biden's son is accused of trying to peddle influence, in Sen. Bob Menendez's case, his wife is accused of acting as a go-between with those trying to buy the senator's attention.​

The indictment of Menendez and his wife last week included details ofalleged bribes that went to the senator in exchange for revealing sensitive, nonpublic information to Egyptian contacts less than a year before his sleep-deprived speech.

Menendez denied the accusations on Friday. However, even if half of this indictment is true, Menendez is toast. He was able to dodge a bullet in 2017 when a jury hung over a separate series of corruption charges involving lavish gifts. This time, the Justice Department says it has photos of thousands of dollars in cash stuffed in clothing, a luxury car, gold bars and other gifts.

Attorney represents Sen. Menendez and Hunter Biden​

That would keep anyone up at night, but there may be one other insomniac this week: Hunter Biden's lawyer Abbe Lowell.

The Menendez indictment likely proved chilling reading for Lowell, who not only represents President Joe Biden's son but also represented Menendez in his prior bribery trial.

There are striking similarities between the Menendez and Biden cases.

While Hunter Biden was allegedly selling access to and influence with his father, he also allegedly received massive payments. His associate Devon Archer told Congress that they were selling the Biden family "brand," and that Joe Biden was "the brand."

 

[Billiejeens]

Like Menendez, Hunter Biden allegedly received a luxury car from his foreign clients. For the senator, the Justice Department says it was a $60,000 Mercedes-Benz. For the president's son, investigators say it was a $142,000 Fisker sports car.

Menendez allegedly received gold bars worth up to $120,000. Biden received a diamond allegedly worth $80,000.

Indeed, the alleged object of these payments was influence with then-Vice President Biden, when he was the presiding officer of the Senate. Menendez was one of the nation's most powerful senators at the time.

There are also dealings that reference Hunter Biden and his associates in the Menendez matter. When the senator was trying to arrange for Joe Biden to host a foreign event, an aide to Menendez reportedly reached out to Hunter Biden's associates.

While the president's son is accused of peddling influence, in Menendez's case, it is his wife who is accused of acting as a go-between with those trying to buy the senator's attention. Nadine Menendez allegedly had lunches and countless communications with people, who, according to the indictment, sought favors from the senator.

 

[Marener]

And, you are a thief.

You are a fraud.

 

[Billiejeens]

Nadine Menendez started consulting company after meeting senator​

Nadine Menendez allegedly knew the co-defendants before she married the senator in 2020. The couple met at an IHOP, but he fittingly proposed to her in 2019 at the Taj Mahal on a trip to India. The setting for the proposal would foretell the lavish gifts to come.

Like Hunter, Nadine started an international consulting company, Strategic International Business Consultants, after being unemployed before meeting the senator. She found ample business.

Like Hunter, she is accused of marketing her ability to deliver access to her husband. In March 2020, she allegedly texted an Egyptian official that “anytime you need anything you have my number and we will make everything happen.”

 

[Billiejeens]

There is of course a major difference between the Biden and Menendez cases: Menendez and his wife are being criminally charged for their alleged influence peddling.

The Justice Department has not only let the statute of limitations run out on the most serious tax charges against Hunter Biden, but it also has not charged the president's son under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Despite charging figures like Paul Manafort for similar accusations, prosecutors have avoided charges in the Biden case that would put Hunter at the center of a corruption prosecution. Instead, they sought an embarrassing "sweetheart deal" that collapsed in court.

In the Menendez case, investigators left no stone unturned in tracing gifts and money. In the Biden case, a special agent with the IRS testified before Congress that the Bidens were tipped off on planned searches and an attempt to interview the president's son.

Joe is one of the Bidens, dipshit.
