Wash Post admits Hunter Biden's Burisma board membership 'should have been a scandal' when his dad was VP
Fox News ^ | 12/13/23 | Jeffrey Clark

Posted on 12/15/2023 9:49:03 PM PST by Libloather

The Washington Post editorial board admitted that the Justice Department has a "strong criminal case" against Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son, and argued that Hunter's involvement in Burisma was a scandal.

"The Justice Department has strong criminal cases against Hunter Biden for allegedly failing to pay federal taxes, claiming false deductions and lying about his drug use on paperwork to buy a gun," the editorial board argued. "Congress, by contrast, lacks any reasonable basis for moving forward with impeachment against President Biden over his son’s dubious business dealings and personal conduct."

The editorial board criticized Hunter for his involvement in Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, that hired him in 2014 despite no experience in the energy sector.

"That should have been a scandal when Joe Biden was vice president," the editorial board wrote. "It was also a mistake, albeit an understandable one, for the older Mr. Biden to insist later that his son had done ‘nothing wrong’ when he clearly has behaved so grossly — personally and professionally. Nor should the president have falsely claimed in October 2020 that his son 'has not made money' in China."

**SNIP**

The Washington Post editorial board claimed that while Hunter is under a reasonable investigation, that does not mean that Joe Biden should be impeached by Congress.

"The legal process will now decide Hunter Biden’s fate, but, on the current evidence, the sins of the son should not be visited upon the father," the editorial board wrote.

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday defended a vote scheduled this week to formalize the impeachment inquiry into President Biden, arguing that unlike what Democrats did with the "sham impeachment" of former President Trump, Republicans are committed to the "rule of law."

WaPo doing limited hangout. The Biden crime family wasn’t just active then, it has been in increasing activity since, and congress most certainly does have “reasonable basis for moving forward with impeachment against President Biden over his son’s dubious business dealings and personal conduct.” Nothing stopped then, everything accelerated. Neither the Bidens nor the editorial board of the criminal accomplice WaPo have a leg to stand on here, not in credibility, history, or evidential fact.

Suddenly, the Washington Compost has received its instructions from the DNCCP.

Joe Biden needs to go.

Which means we should try to keep him around. For his toxic effect on election chances for the Dems.

Got a shock go through me when I saw a news site musing “possibly Newsom, Michelle Obama or Gretchen Whitmer” for a new Dem ticket.

Whitmer, I know has been talked about before, but seeing it caught me off guard and I had an emotional reaction. Like I get when I see Hillary.

Yep. It has been building for a while. IMHO, they still need a few more Biden crime family issues to crop up and a replacement candidate willing to throw the bran dead idiot under the bus.

The Washington Post was just so understanding when they went after Richard Nixon.

I’ve always thought Newsome or Hocul would be the picks. Whitmer is a bit less known and hasn’t gone after the 2a, gas stoves, etc. like CA or NY.

Nobody is mentioning Biden bragging about firing that Ukrainian prosecutor. Why not?

Photos of the pervert feeling up little girl’s nipples should be evidence enough for impeachment.

“”That should have been a scandal when Joe Biden was vice president,” the editorial board wrote. “


Yes it should have. But the DOJ/FBI, along with the leftist media such as WaPo, covered up and/or excused Hunter’s actions in order to protect the Obama/Biden administration. And they continue to do that to this day.

The Washington Post isn't a real newspaper. It's a bunch of opinionated progressive/commies with an ax to grind and an agenda to push. If lowlifes at the Post had the chance to lie and cover for Hunter again, they would do it. ZERO integrity.

AND threatening to withhold US Taxpayer money as a means of getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired.

Say....wasn’t President Trump impeached for simply asking Zelensky during a phone call if he would look into that firing - with no threat of withholding US taxpayer money if he did not comply like Biden did?

WaPo is covering for Obama. The Obama gang knew it and even advised Biden against it. That was the end of it, just a “Knock it off” from Obama. He could have ordered Biden to not let it happen He could have advised Burisma, through diplomatic channels, to not do it. He could have threatened to withhold $1 Billion in aid if they did it.

The boss wasn’t being the boss.

WP stilll claiming that there is no evidence linking Joe to Hunter’s crimes. Gaslighting.

Tony Bobulinski. 10% for the Big Guy.

Hunter Biden: “I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years,” Hunter Biden groused to daughter Naomi in January 2019. “It’s really hard. But don’t worry, unlike pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.” Pop is Joe Biden.

FBI 1023: CHS mentioned Zlochevsky might have difficulty explaining suspicious wire transfers that may evidence any (Illicit) payments to the Bidens. Zlochevsky responded he did not send any funds directly to the “Big Guy” (which CHS understood was a reference to Joe Biden). CHS asked Zlochevsky how many companies/bank accounts Zlochevsky controls; Zlochevsky responded it would take them (Investigators) 10 years to find the records (i.e. illic.it payments to Joe Biden). CHS told Zlochevsky if he ever needed help in the future and wanted to speak to somebody in the US government about that matter, that CHS could Introduce him to someone.
