Many thanks!
Would hidin biden’s actions rise to ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’
I believe they do.
(Back to emoluments:
IIRC the Dems got on PDJT’s case about the money coming from some of his hotels overseas, but PDJT cleared it up; he set it up so the money didn’t come to him.
So, the white hats oughta make hiden biden return all that ill-gotten gain to the US Treasury and pay down the debt.
The US Treasury isn’t an office-holder... )

If as a result of his corruption he was recieving cash payoffs then there is the issue of unreported income and unpaid Federal Tax. If he lied knowingly on his taxes and avoided reporting more than 20% gross income he can be audited. If he knowingly committed fraud, fraud opens the statute to allow examination of multiple years of tax returns, more taxes, penalties, fees, interest, prison terms, etc.
(Recollection of IRS Statute Law here is a bit fuzzy...stroke about 2 years ago.)
