Sen. Ron Johnson to Newsmax: Obama 'Fully Aware' of Influence Peddling
Newsmax ^ | Sep 10 | By Nicole Wells

Posted on 09/10/2023 1:18:08 PM PDT by RandFan

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Newsmax Saturday that a "full investigation" of Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings should include scrutiny of former President Barack Obama because he was "fully aware of a lot of this."

"I know individuals in the Obama State Department were fully well aware of [Hunter Biden’s alleged influence peddling]," Johnson said during an appearance on Newsmax’s "America Right Now."

"Let's face it. President Obama was briefed, together with Vice President Biden, by then-CIA Director John Brennan about the scheme that the Hillary Clinton campaign had to accuse the Trump campaign of colluding with Russia."

"They were briefed about that in August of 2016," he continued.

"President Obama knew full well that the Russian collusion scheme false narrative was a hoax. It was false. And yet he allowed the investigation to go forward. They certainly set up Michael Flynn so that he would never be involved in the Trump White House because he was just too dangerous. He knew too much. And so they totally took the legs out from underneath Gen. Flynn. I think Obama is fully aware of a lot of this and is as corrupt when it comes to this episode as so much of federal law enforcement and certainly the Biden family."

Lest we forget....

Speaking to a fellow Democrat about Joe Biden being the party’s nominee in 2020, Obama famously warned, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up.”

That’s why Obama put Joe in charge of Ukraine, so he could run his little family money laundering business through there.

“”So, how many homes does Obama have these days?””

MegaDittos!

Last year Hussein installed massive propane tanks on at least one of his ‘properties.’ While pushing the end of hydrocarbons, DemocRATS always make sure they have access. And, as has been mentioned before, why do liberals purchase beachfront properties? Isn’t the ocean about to rise and rise and rise?

We’re getting closer to uncovering Obama’s role in the Biden corruption (cue suspense music).

<><>Obama is being asked to bail Biden out from another corrupt debacle
<><>evidence goes back to corrupt Biden’s time in Obama’s admin.
<><>there’s 5,000 emails from Biden wherein he used several aliases during the Obama admin.

Under the Presidential Records Act, Obama has 30 days to bar the release of the emails and to help shield his former vice president in a growing corruption scandal over the influence-peddling operation run by Biden’s son, Hunter.


Emails obtained by America First Legal—AFL reveal the broad access Hunter Biden enjoyed to the official government channels while his father was Obama’s Vice President.

Obama/Biden clearly gave Hun ter Biden free reign in directing the use of official tax-paid government resources.

<>Hunter Biden played a key role in planning hig h-profile White House events (but his role was never revealed).

<>Even though unelected Hunter had no official appointed role in the Obama-Biden Administration, he was intimately involved in planning high-profile tax-paid White House events.

Hunter was involved in Obama’s January 2011 China State Luncheon, the June 2011 State Arrival Ceremony for the German Chancellor, the March 2012 United Kingdom State Dinner and Visit, the May 2013 Turkey State Luncheon, and the 2014 France State Dinner.

<>Hunter and his Rosemont Seneca business partner had been planning the all-important “China Lunch” months in advance.

REALITY CHECK——Hunter Biden’s Obama/Biden WH activities were adjuncts to, and materially profited, his lucrative influence peddling business.

In the “Legal “ World of Criminal Justice, being fully aware and doing nothing or helping to keep it quiet is called being a

CO-CONSPIRATOR and just as Guilty as the primary perp.

The Obamas sold influence, too. They were just patient enough to wait until after they left office to cash in. Example: Does anyone actually believe that the book deals they got actually made the publisher money? Or was it money laundered through the publisher?

FR THREAD-—As Biden scandal marches toward impeachment, what Obama knew and when looms large / 9/5/2023

Boogieman posted......”it was already revealed at the time of the Hillary Clinton leak that Obama ALSO used a secret non-governmental email with an alias (which has not yet been revealed to the public, but is kept secret by media and government), so that he could circumvent government record retention laws and public oversight.”

Obama admin defended use of ‘alternate email addresses’ long before Biden’s aliases were revealed

President Biden has taken fire this week for reportedly using aliases and “secret” email addresses as vice president in messages to his son Hunter Biden, who had business in Ukraine at the time. Under former President Barack Obama’s administration, White House officials defended the use of alternate email addresses.

During a 2013 press briefing, the Obama-Biden White House, amid accusations that individuals within the administration had been using “secret” email addresses for correspondence, highlighted its belief that using “alternate email addresses” for high-ranking officials made “eminent sense.”

While fielding questions from reporters at the briefing, Jay Carney, White House press secretary at the time, was asked about a story from The Associated Press that claimed a variety of senior administration officials possessed secret email addresses.

Additionally, Carney was asked by the same reporter what the protocol would be for the administration to release that correspondence via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, and whether the contents from both email addresses — or just the public one or the “secret” one — would be released should there be a congressional inquiry about a given subject.

“Let’s be clear — this is a practice consistent with prior administrations of both parties, and, as the story itself made clear, any FOIA request or congressional inquiry includes a search in all of the email accounts used by any political appointee,” Carney responded.

“So the answer is, all of this information is provided. Having alternate email addresses for cabinet secretaries and other high-profile officials makes eminent sense, much as it does for columnists, for example, of major publications who provide email addresses for their readers but have alternate work email addresses so that if they are inundated in one account with either public emails or spam or the like, that they can continue to use their other account for normal work,” he added.

“And that is the case with officials of this administration, officials of the previous administrations who have had email addresses.

“And the fundamental question here, in terms of FOIA requests and congressional inquiries, is that all of these email addresses are included.”

New “laptop from hell” emails show how chummy cokehead Hunter’s relationship was with Obama’s State Department which raises eyebrows when we learn whoring Hunter met with then-Secy of State John Kerry weeks before his VP father caused the Shokin firing (Source: Fox News).


But wait....there’s more instances of parasite Hunter mooching
off taxpayers-——leeching govt power to enrich himself....and “others.”

CASES IN POINT

The unelected flopola Hunter not only was hand-picking his dad’s high govt appointees,
but the Obama admin let the whoremonger arrange WH state dinners for foreign dignitaries.

These activities were adjuncts to the cokeheaded parasite’s lucrative business of influence peddling.

As a deceitful VP secretly grooming his whoremongering son for govt office?, then-VP Biden apparently used a pseudonym to discuss a future White House hire with cokeheaded Hunter Biden, according to 2014 emails from Hunter’s infamous “laptop from hell.”
<><>On 6/23/2014, Hunter emailed “Robin Ware” from his company Rosemont Seneca Partners.
<><>”Before you fill job pls talk to me. J. McGrail very much wants to be at treasury.”
<><>minutes later robinware456@gmail.com emails: “Re Johnny call me right away Dad.”

NOTE Robin Ware is one of several pseudonyms the deceitful Biden used during his vice presidency for Obama to discuss government matters with his parasitic cokeheaded son.
<><>John McGrail was US Treasury senior counsel at the time of the Bidens’ sub rosa emails.
<><>2 mos later he was in the WH, hired as Biden’s deputy counsel, per his LinkedIn profile.
<><>Today, Bidenized McGrail is at Treasury, counselor to the undersecy for domestic finance.


McGrail, the Biden WH and Hunter’s lawyer (cough) “understandably” did not respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.

I have often wondered if we have misidentified "the Big Guy" who gets ten percent.
