CNN’s Burnett admits that evidence of Chinese funneling money to Biden family ‘doesn’t look good’
Fox News ^ | 3/18/23 | Gabriel Hays

CNN anchor Erin Burnett admitted that revelations showing members of the Biden family received over a million dollars from accounts linked to Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associates certainly don’t "look good" for the embattled Hunter Biden and his family as they face government investigations into their alleged corruption.

During an episode of CNN’s "Erin Burnett OutFront" the host brought up subpoenaed financial records obtained by the House Oversight Committee showing that money from Joe Biden’s son was funneled to several members of the Biden family, including James Biden, and Beau Biden’s widow.

Burnett asked her guest "Just Security" co-editor-in-chief Ryan Goodman about the revelations and admitted to him that any lay person who sees these payoffs are going to think they don’t "look good."

However, her guest insisted that most likely, nothing "damaging legally" would come from these records, though they may be "possibly unethical."

Burnett’s reporting followed CNN’s recent foray into covering Hunter Biden’s allegedly corrupt behavior. As Fox News Digital noted, "CNN finally ran its own report about the questionable ethics surrounding the president" in January.

The network’s critics blasted the report for coming more than two years after The New York Post first broke the story on Hunter Biden’s alleged corruption.

The financial records Burnett discussed were first revealed by House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., after acquiring through a subpoena of Bank of America financial records.

Fox News Digital reported Thursday that the records showed how "’at least three family members’ received lucrative payments from a bank account belonging to" Robinson Walker, Hunter Biden’s business partner.

Fake news is finally forced to admit that Trump was telling the truth all along on subject after subject.

The Left would circle the wagons even if they personally saw or overheard the transactions.

The Biden Crime Family is untouchable. The demented one has the entire extreme far-left “mainstream media” propping up and defending his insane azz.

Biden said, “it did not happen!” That is a lie as the committee has the bank records and more records are coming.

The president of the United States is a liar, charlatan, grifter, and corrupt. In all probability he is compromised by China, Ukraine, etc.

If Biden had said, “I do not recall” that may be true as he is obviously mentally gaga.

Joementia said the “family” never took money from the ccp. Guess second hand doesn’t count? Who knew?

I remember when Eric Burnett was just a young talking head on CNBC minus the lefty pontificating. Maybe she was a lefty back then but just kept those thoughts to herself, but I’m guessing over the 20+ years in the media she became more indoctrinated.

She was my favorite money honey before she jumped to CNN.

Maria Bartoromo (sp?), who is older, has aged more gracefully at FOX Business Channel.

This is just another bit of evidence that points to the plain pettiness and small-time nature of the Biden grift.

Proper high-toned politicians, such as Obama, Feinstein, Pelosi and Newsom, have a much smoother, seamless and investigation-proof system of payoffs.

“Does not look good.”

If it were Trump she’d say, “He’s a corrupt rat bastard rich sleaze ball taking bribes for political favors.”

The evidence of the money transfers are black and white. It’s direct evidence from BoA. Contrast that to Trump’s supposed Russian collusion. There was no direct evidence, only a report that did not provide evidence. In fact, most claims in the report could be easily dismissed with minimal investigation. That didn’t stop all Democrats, the mainstream news media, and some RINOs from accepting the fallacious report as fact. It didn’t stop the FBI from their continuous investigations into all things Trump.

I’m surprised that CNN actually recognized direct evidence of money transfers. The rest of the media and government have not. That includes the worthless FBI.

Gentlemen, we have rules here.

My favorite at CNBC, but Maria Bartiromo was the one and only money honey. She worked the floor on wall street. Burnett was a talking head.

Yah,but I’ll wager that she’s ugly on the *inside*. That counts even more than ugly on the outside.

Getting a CNN anchor to admit some truth, is like them kicking and dragging to see the light, but it won’t last long. They are all long time commie leaning socialist, America hating pukes.
