EXCLUSIVE: Two thirds of Americans say Joe Biden broke 'foreign agent' rules by helping son Hunter's business dealings, a DailyMail.com/TIPP poll shows as impeachment net tightens

Americans by wide margins say President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, violated a law against peddling foreign influence, a DailyMail.com poll shows, amid swirling allegations about the first family's business dealings.

Fully 63 percent of voters say the president breached the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which obliges people to declare foreign interests, when he served as vice president and his son worked with the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.

Another 29 percent said they did not believe Biden, a Democrat, had broken the rules, and 8 percent were not sure. Republican voters overwhelmingly said Biden had committed wrongdoing, as did 38 percent of Democrats.

The results follow the claims from Hunter's former friend business partner, Devon Archer, about how the first son raked in huge sums by selling his ties to father Joe, in a bombshell congressional testimony and interviews earlier this month.

Biden, who was then vice president in the Obama administration, was present in-person during dinner meetings and sat in on at least 20 phone calls with foreign associates, Archer told the House Oversight Committee.

After the testimony, committee chairman James Comer, a Republican, said Archer's revelations marked a 'huge step toward implicating Joe Biden' in violating FARA by assisting Hunter's dealings with Burisma, where he served on the board.

Biden this week insisted he 'never talked business' with Hunter or his associates.

Our DailyMail.com/TIPP poll survey of 542 US adults earlier this month focussed only on people who followed Archer's testimony.

Those respondents were even more persuaded of wrongdoing by the president's son.

Fully 69 percent said Hunter had broken FARA rules by representing a Chinese energy company without registering as a foreign agent.

Another 18 percent said the younger Biden had not violated FARA, and 13 percent were not sure.

Eh, broke a few rules while taking bribes from the chicoms. No big deal. And Hussein knew all about it.

Unless a real law has been broken, the public be damned.

And from this, they get "Two thirds of Americans".

Sadly, it will take more than Biden's being a crook to get the pro-death, enviro-wacko, low information democRAT and so-called independent voters to not vote for their brain dead, diaper sh!tting imbecile again.

Don’t forget about the DEAD. They register and start to vote Democrat right after the funeral ends.

Good point—the dead yellow dog voting block could be what puts the demented dictator over the top.

Nobody has voted on the question of whether Joe Biden broke foreign agent registration rules.

”Joe Biden broke 'foreign agent' rules”

Thats it? He just “broke the rules”? Come on. Article II of the Constitution, which generally describes the executive branch, specifies that the “President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States” shall be removed from office if convicted in an impeachment trial of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
