Jonathan Turley: Monetary Benefits to Biden Family Implicate Joe Biden in Wrongdoing
Breitbart ^ | 28 Sep 2023 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 09/28/2023 11:13:31 AM PDT by conservative98

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.”

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.


Criminal laws on bribery go back to the days of the mob when a crime family member was designated the recipient of dirty money to shield the mob kingpin from culpability.

Only it didnt......the kingpin was still adjudged guilty under the law.

This is really an open and shut case. If there is a Republican House member who would vote no on the inquiry they should get a mental health check up.

It seems the only one missing from the list is his seventh grandchild who he barely even acknowledges is alive.

Not a benefit, it’s a bribe. It’s also treason, many times over.

Bidens keep it all in the family.
Biden niece and Obama employee had sensitive US govt info on China to peddle.
She is now a Starbuck’s VP according to Linked in.

Biden’s niece, Casey Owens, - his sister’s child - aided and abetted
Hunter’s influence peddling schemes which benefited the Biden family’s
govt wealth accumulation.

Casey Owens' official US govt trip to China was with Obama’s US Treasury delegation, “The US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue team,” led by then-Treasury Secy Timothy Geithner.

During the tax paid visit, Owens was privy to sensitive US govt information WRT China’s multi billion dollar sovereign wealth fund.

Owens passed on the info to the opportunistic Hunter as a possible investment contact who soon followed up.

The wily Zelensky has Biden by the cojones, as he knows exactly what father and son were up to w/ Burisma, from whence came much of their illicit millions. Biden, being subject to blackmail, probably has a hidden deal with Zelensky that brings untold graft.

Probably large chunks of tax dollars to Ukraine are being funneled back to the US as campaign donations, deposited in off-shore accounts.

ITEM We, the people are financing a pointless Ukraine war w/ a reasonable chance it could escalate due to Biden’s ineptness, serving as a convenient distraction to cover up his corrupt activities.

ITEM On June 7, 2015, Kathy Chung, a government-paid assistant of then-VP Biden, sent a covert email to his secret government alias cc’ed to Hunter w/ cell phone numbers of top Obama/Biden govt officials.

ITEM: Biden’s niece Casey Owens, an Obama Treasury employee, spilled sensitive info to the opportunistic Hunter which aided and abetted Hunter’s influence peddling schemes to benefit the Biden family’s wealth accumulation.

But wait-—all of it also converges on national security...... endangering the safety and security of American families.....otherwise classified as espionage.

Much of it was transferred on un-encrypted transmission lines wherein “an interested party” is ideally positioned to view a high govt official’s network traffic.......
