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."

And Joe Biden as Senator. Hunter was given jobs due to his father’s influence. The Biden Crime Family was alive and well while Joe was a Senator.

Joe Biden plans ahead.......w-a-a-ay ahead.

Hunter getting the billion dollar Chinese deal when Joe was VP didnt “just happen” overnight.

The backstory is when he first got into the Senate, years ago, Joe would regularly meet w/ the Chinese consul in DC for no particular reason .

Except Joe knew the lay of the land.

He was wielding his political influence ......as the Chinese nation slowly evolved.....with Joe’s help.

He positioned himself favorably for when the opportunity arrived.

And arrive it did.

Whitmer....(spit)

What if someone had told you about how horrible Hillary was going to be as she was campaigning with Bill for Arkansas governor?

I’m trying to do that about Whitmer.

She was an enthusiastic promoter of abortions before getting elected to the state house. “In 2013, Whitmer gained national attention for a floor speech during a debate on abortion in which she shared her experience of being sexually assaulted.” Got sympathy and some speculated this was the origin of her anti-male sexism.

Just one item against Whitmer—
As Governor of Michigan-—

Because some couples adopt children who are given up by their mothers who chose not to have an abortion and this is a point made to women deciding, Whitmer got the state funding cut off to all adoptive parents. This would discourage them and make it more difficult to locate possible families for the babies women would bring to term rather than abort.

Even if one could actually physically turn this Hunter/Joe bribery collusion mess into a pile of dogsh!t and present it wrapped up with a bow to MSM and Democrats, they’d STILL say it smells like roses. They just do not care because - Trump....that’s it.

Too late now MSM! MSM failed, millions are suffering and wars breaking out all over. A once great country is now a Banana Republic. Thank you Bezos for running a crappy MSM outlet so poorly and irresponsibly.
