The urgent need to expose the corruption within the Biden family is undeniable; it’s a cover-up we all acknowledge. A call echoes for more Republicans to exhibit the same level of outrage and tenacity as demonstrated by Byron Donalds. The revelation of Hunter Biden receiving a staggering $4.9 million from Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris over three years, unearthed by an IRS whistleblower, marks a significant escalation in the known financial ties between Hunter and his so-called “sugar brother.”
IRS agent Joseph Ziegler, in a compelling Tuesday testimony before the House Ways & Means Committee, presented the jaw-dropping figure and additional documentation. This revelation comes as House Republicans approach an expected vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s alleged involvement in his family’s foreign dealings.

WHY DID KEVIN MORRIS GUVE HUNTER ALL THESE MILLIONS?
Where does all the money go? When Hunter has child support hearings, he basically claims to be broke. But he has millions of dollars coming in from one source or another.

To the “Big Guy” that’s where the money went.

House Republicans request interview with Hunter Biden ally, entertainment lawyer Kevin Morris
House Republicans are turning attention in their long-running investigation of Hunter Biden to the Hollywood attorney who helped pay the unpaid taxes and penalties that have ensnared the president’s son in a lengthy legal dispute with the Department of Justice, CBS News has learned.
Three committee chairmen sent a letter Wednesday requesting a transcribed interview with Kevin Morris, an attorney known for crafting the lucrative licensing deal for the creators of “South Park” and who later won a Tony award as a co-producer of the hit musical “Book of Mormon.” Morris, the author of two novels and a book of short stories, is now devoting significant time to the legal and media strategy for the president’s son.
A source familiar with the financial arrangements confirmed to CBS News last year that he loaned money to Hunter Biden’s to pay off more than $2 million in unpaid legal bills.
“It sure seems that the Bidens get a lot of ‘loans’ that raise many questions,” House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, Republican of Kentucky, told CBS News in a statement. “These ‘loans’ have occurred both during Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and presidency, which raise serious ethical concerns.”
The financial arrangements are between Morris and Hunter Biden, not President Biden.
Morris told CBS News he declined to offer a response at this time. A spokesperson for Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, said he was reviewing the letter.
The letter to Morris from three House committee chairmen — Comer, Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith, and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan — expresses what they say is an interest in understanding “the nature and purpose of any loans to or payments on behalf of Hunter Biden that may have occurred while Joe Biden was either a candidate for public office or holding public office.”
“Both public reporting and evidence reviewed by the Committees suggest that Kevin Morris had an expansive role as a financier, confidant, and would-be avenger for Hunter Biden,” Smith, a Missouri Republican, said in a statement to CBS News. “It’s time that Americans learn the truth about Kevin Morris’s monetary contributions to the Biden family business dealings.”
Congressional investigations typically need to be aimed at specific policy goals, and the letter to Morris indicates the Republican leaders are “seeking meaningful reforms to government ethics and disclosure laws that will provide necessary transparency into a Vice President’s or President’s immediate family members’ income, assets, and financial relationships.”
Several attorneys have worked on behalf of Hunter Biden in the face of political, congressional and legal fights that have dogged him, some dating back to his father’s presidential campaign. But Morris has largely remained a quiet force in Hunter Biden’s corner.
Morris has been engaged in discussions with Hunter Biden’s attorneys, attending his court appearances, and taken such steps as conducting a forensic analysis and investigation into what happened to Hunter Biden’s laptop — including how the device became public — sources familiar with his efforts say.
During a September 2022 interview by federal investigators, the president’s brother, James Biden, was asked about Morris’s support for Hunter Biden. According to interview notes made public by House Republicans, James Biden said “Morris had befriended” his nephew, but he “didn’t know why or when this occurred.”
James Biden reportedly told investigators the financial support was “significant enough” that Hunter Biden asked him “to say thank you ‘on behalf of the family.’”
Morris has reportedly been pursuing a documentary project to document Hunter Biden’s personal experience at the center of political and legal storms. Congressional Republicans said they wanted to know if Morris pursued any other agenda through his support of the president’s son.
“Among other things, the Committees intend to understand the terms of such “loans” you made to Hunter Biden and what benefits you may have received as a result of providing financial assistance to President Biden’s son,” the letter says.
At the time Hunter was under federal criminal investigation for tax matters and was
dealing with his longtime problems WRT his addictions to drugs, alcohol and prostitutes.
Morris became a confidant to Hunter Biden, lending him more
than $2 million to cover family expenses and pay back taxes.

EDITED Kevin Morris is funding a documentary project that is expected to build on Hunter’s self-serving memoir’s redemption story, while depicting Hunter as “the victim” of Mr. Trump ..... amid the damning distribution of files that have come from the infamous laptop a negligent Hunter abandoned in a Delaware repair shop.
Some of the tactics Mr. Morris is said to have advocated
<><>publicly questioning the story behind the laptop cache
<><>attacking those involved in spreading its voluminous files,
seemed at odds with the approach of Mr. Biden’s defense lawyers,
who have proceeded cautiously while he is still under federal investigation.
Hunter Biden has a long history of seeking employment or profit in areas that overlapped with his father’s public duties (known as influence-peddling) and doing business with questionable partners around the world, including in Ukraine.
Hunter’s extensive and well-publicized personal travails — including addiction to crack cocaine (which got him kicked out of the Navy), a divorce that left his young children penniless, looting his daughter’s college fund for drugs and prostitutes, bedding down his brother’s widow, salacious activities with his underage niece, and endless money problems — have spilled over into Joe Biden’s political life, helping to fuel relentless (if largely baseless?) efforts by Republicans to link his father to his business ventures.
The criminal investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes, his high paid jobs, and foreign business deals, appear to be coming to a head. Justice Department prosecutors have met in recent weeks to discuss whether to move forward with the case. In the coming months, the Biden DOJ is expected to make a final decision about whether to bring criminal or civil charges, or to reach some sort of settlement (that could include a significant fine).

There will be no impeachment. I posted this August 17:
there’s certainly more than enough credible evidence to open impeachment proceedings now. this was true weeks ago.... but pubbies will continue dawdle. they are - as a group - political cowards. it’s mid-August. they will waste a few more months, then after the holidays we will get the ‘we can’t do this in an election year’ excuse. so in all likelihood there will be no impeachment.
and if i’m wrong and they move it along and there is a vote(s) on articles of impeachment, guaranteed there will be a dozen or so RINO-losers that will vote ‘present’ or ‘not-proven (remember that one?)
it will be the end of the republican party as thousands upon thousands of fed-up voters will stay home in disgust.
And did he pay current taxes on the 2 mil given to him?
Hah.........no frickin’ way a Biden pays taxes.
Do you know What MORRIS got?
Not exposed yet. Methinks the Bidens are treading very carefully here.....
the publicity is bad now, and news of Morris cashing in would bite Joe badly.
Sureptitously, Biden could (a) refer big-buck clients to Morris
and (b) possibly paid him off using WH expense accounts.
Hunter sold him one of his paintings.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Still going after the POTATUS instead of the cabal that steals elections at will and installed him.
More Kabuki theater.
Morris was Hunter’s became a confidant and lent him more than $2 million to cover family expenses and to pay Hunter’s existing back taxes. So did Hunter pay current taxes on the 2 mil Morris lent him?
Morris’ handout was depicted as a “loan.” That is not reportable.
However Hunter’s paybacks from the loan w/ interest (if any) is taxable......for Morris.
