Despite a cascade of testimony and documents indicating that the Bidens are engaging in an influencing peddling scheme, Democrat partisans continue to assert that there is no proof that President Biden has personally benefited from any of the money gleaned from this scheme.
MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell claims that "the testimony of Hunter Biden's former business associate Devon Archer to the House Committee exonerates President Biden. Granted, Joe Biden did participate in more than 20 phone calls and several in-person meetings with Hunter's business partners, but Archer only remembers talking about the weather and other trivial matters. Perhaps these business partners were just big fans wanting some time with the 'Big Guy.' On the other hand, the President's recent interview on the Weather Channel shows he has an intense interest in weather and is a sought after expert on the topic."
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md) pointed out that "none of the bank records of Joe Biden's accounts show the word 'bribe' in the memo line area of any checks deposited. Couldn't this money just be gifts from admirers? Many celebrities charge fees for autographs or photos with their fans. Why can't Joe Biden do the same?"
"I don't see any evidence of any crime," CNN's Jake Tapper said. "People in government getting rich is old news. It may be sleazy, but is it really illegal? If the Republicans are going to launch an effort to try to reform Washington so people who are powerful can't supplement their income while in office, how can we attract the 'best-and-brightest' with the woefully inadequate salaries we pay government officials? A whole system that has served this country well for generations will be destabilized."
We have evidence that the Bidens received millions from foreigners in Ukraine, China, and Russia. As Vice-President, Joe Biden forced the firing of a Ukraine prosecutor who was investigating the company that had Hunter on its board of directors. As president, Joe Biden has impeded domestic lithium mining--a mineral crucial to electric vehicles. This leaves us more dependent on Chinese lithium. He also has impeded domestic uranium mining--an ore crucial for national defense. This leaves us more dependent on Russian uranium. It is not unreasonable to suspect that bribery may have had a hand in prompting Joe Biden to take these actions.

“I know nuthink! Nuth-think!!!”
In the end, it may end up that Hunter Biden is the most brilliant businessman and potential board member that any company could have. Even the Bud-Light folks might want to consider bringing him onboard to fix their problem.
Hunter Biden’s former business partner Devon Archer told lawmakers this week that Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings brought in the VP’s son as a million dollar p/y board member, as a strongarm tactic, “to intimidate people not to mess with them …... legally.”
Archer said that Hunter had a well-rehearsed act while at dinner w/ foreign clients,
wherein Hunter would ceremoniously announce he was “calling his VP dad in DC.”
This cued in Joe to casually discuss “niceties and the weather”...... not foreign business deals.
Archer testified Hunter’s phone act was calculated....intended to show his foreign clients they had instant access to VP Biden to collect favors ....... once they paid off Hunter.
The telephone act was also intended to give the Bidens deniability
and to let Joe Biden off the hook as a criminal accomplice
“to influence peddling, bribery and money laundering.”
Joe Biden did participate in more than 20 phone calls and several in-person meetings with Hunter’s filthy rich foreign business partners needing govt favors.
But it was entirely innocent. They mostly talked about the weather and other trivial matters.
Joe Biden’s recent in-depth interview on the Weather Channel shows he has an intense interest in weather and is actually a sought-after expert on the topic.
There is no proof that Biden is NOT a crook either.
A well-known expert on political bribery, Rep. Jamie Raskin (Democrat-Md), pointed out that “none of the bank records of Joe Biden’s accounts show the word ‘bribe’ in the memo line area of any checks deposited.
“Couldn’t this money just be gifts from admirers? Many celebrities charge fees for autographs or photos with their fans. Why can’t Joe Biden do the same?”
A second expert, CNN’s Jake Tapper said, “I don’t see any evidence of any crime.”
“People in government getting rich is old news. It may be sleazy, but is it really illegal?”
“If the Republicans are going to launch an effort to try to reform Washington so people who are powerful can’t supplement their income while in office, how can we attract the ‘best-and-brightest’ with the woefully inadequate salaries we pay government officials? “
“A whole system that has served this country well for generations will be destabilized.”
Andrea Mitchell is Hillary Clinton’s lap dog. She is a democrat spokesperson not a news reporter.
Another interesting use of a couple of words.
When looking into GW Bush’s & President Trump’s dealings and doings, the media & the Uniparty are looking for EVIDENCE. Any EVIDENCE.
When looking into Clinton’s, Obama’s or Biden’s dealings & doings, the media & the Uniparty are looking for PROOF. Rock Solid PROOF.
There is no proof Hunter Biden is a businessman, either.
Thanks, John, for an excellent and timely column. Sometimes the real news nicely summarizes the semi-satire; and, it's needed in these days. Looking back, and IIRC, it was the Congressional Republicans who handed Nixon his choice between impeachment or resignation. The Dems have no such moral compasses, grace, or presence of anything resembling that conscience thingy.
He is clearly a genius. I mean, how many of you would be able to get your lawyer to pay your back taxes? Every lawyer I ever had wanted the money for their services up front. They wouldn't foot the bill for a filing fee or an escrow deposit if their life depended on it.
And, on top of everything, he did it all while being a crack addict! Clearly, Hunter Biden is someone to emulate.
Joe Biden, who never worked in the private sector, never inherited money or wrote a best-selling book, nonetheless has a substantial real estate portfolio.
Others have collected pictures of his Wilmington home, his enormous Bethany Beach summer “cottage” and other Delaware properties.
Some “black’ money paid for all that. Certainly not his government salary.
Do we have any Republican journalists?
