I recently wrote that the White House is terrified of the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
Well, here’s more proof. CNN, which pretty much always has Biden’s back, attempted to fact-check House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s announcement launching the impeachment inquiry.
To start, CNN claims that McCarthy made “several unproven claims” during his announcement and then attempts to disprove them.
First, CNN attempts to debunk the claim that the Biden family and associates got $20 million through shell companies.
CNN’s response:
Facts First: This is true about Joe Biden’s family and associates, but there is no public evidence to date that the president personally received any money.
So, to clear this up, CNN doesn’t even attempt to deny that the Biden family got millions from foreign sources or to come up with an explanation for the use of the shell companies. In fact, the lack of journalistic curiosity about these shell companies is quite alarming. We’ve been pointing out that these companies had no apparent purpose but to launder foreign money before distributing it to members of the Biden family. Does having 20 shell companies to filter millions of dollars through sound like legitimate business to CNN? What were these companies selling, if not the product of Joe Biden’s influence?
The next allegation CNN attempts to dispute is that an FBI informant said the Bidens received a bribe.

Andrew McCarthy, a former Federal prosecutor pointed out that for the purpose of the bribery statute a payment to a family member is a payment to the principal, and he cited cases where convictions were obtained. Taking a bribe, regardless of whether or not an official performs a favor or official act in return is a crime. Boasting about having the Ukrainian prosecutor fired would seem to me to be strong evidence of actually abusing his office after receiving an “emolument”.
Our media is a joke.
Michael Frances’s….former NY Mobster.
In an interview he talks about having gone to prison for having shell companies and laundering ill gotten a gains through them.
Thanks so much for posting this, LiM.
