Legal scholar Jonathan Turley has called for a special counsel to be appointed to investigate allegations of influence-peddling against Democrat President Joe Biden and his family members.
Turley has joined the growing chorus calling for investigations after several left-wing corporate media outlets recently confirmed that Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” is genuine.
The George Washington University Law School professor is pressing Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special prosecutor to probe the Biden family business for links with the president’s political career.
Turley said the “demonstrably false” statement from the White House, that Hunter Biden never made money in China, makes “the positions of both the media and Attorney General Merrick Garland absolutely untenable.”
“We absolutely stand by the president’s comment,” White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said earlier this week as she reaffirmed that President Biden maintains his son Hunter Biden did “nothing [that] was unethical” and never “made money” in China.
“Those claims appear demonstrably false — and they make the positions of both the media and Attorney General Merrick Garland absolutely untenable,” Turley writes.
“Influence peddling has long been the way Washington’s elite enriches itself,” the law professor continues.
“This common source of political corruption involves the relatives of powerful government figures who shake down corporations or countries for access and influence.
“The Bidens would seem to be standouts in this common practice, engaging in a virtual family business.
“James Biden has been accused of marketing his connection to his brother.

Biden Clan isn’t worried. Speaker McCarthy and Majority Leader McConnell will have meaninglessness ‘hearings’ and that will be the end of it.
Turley-a news hound?
How can they say he never made money in China? It is documented and incontrovertible that he (and his “partners”) were given a huge amount of money to manage as an investment.
Are they claiming they charged no fees? That is an astounding statement. Nobody manages a billion dollars for free. Nobody.
Then there is the matter of the diamond. Who gives a valuable diamond to a “business partner” as a bonus. Then there is the “line of credit”, the “loan”, and other benefits that are all well documented. They gave Hunter a pre-paid credit card for a shopping spree (or crack binge).
How could the White House seriously say that no Biden “made money” in China?
We live in insane times when the WH can issue a patently false statement and it is not the number 1 story on the news. That was a flat out lie.
Nothing new, just on a grander scale, remember:
Billygate – 1980
President Jimmy Carter’s colorful brother Billy created a major headache for his elder sibling when he became an agent of the government of radical Libya. After three trips to the land of dictator Moammar Gadhafi and the receipt of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Libyans, Billy became the center of a swirling storm of allegations about influence-peddling, and the sea swell quickly engulfed President Carter, then in the midst of a difficult campaign for renomination and reelection.

Like Recusals, Special Counsels have become strictly a weapon to use against Republicans.
If it doesn’t apply for the President’s Son and brothers - in crimes he’s alleged to have profited - then it’ll never apply. Barr covered for Biden the entire time. Remember before Mueller was appointed you couldn’t find a person in DC or the Media that didn’t think a Special Counsel was warranted, and FOX sold it as - he could quickly clear Trump.
They are all aware of Biden’s Foreign business.

What the Hey! They won the election (ala Harry Reid). Anyone who suppressed the laptop from hell prior to the vote in 2020 needs to be prosecuted. This includes government officals, social media companies (including leaders, and anyone involved in the banning of the story like standards group members), MSM reporters, pundits, producers, editors, managers, and company officers, and any foreign and domestic fact checkers. They all lied to the public and suppressed the news to influence the electorate. I would add any elected official who benefited from the 2020 election based on this suppression.
Yeah, like that's gonna happen.
With the continuing mass migration into the country, we are done.
Hunter probably received the money in the US.
Silly as that sounds, it is quite possibly true. Biden’s brother talked about “plausible deniability,” and, with accomplices in the press and law enforcement, that can stand up no matter how flimsy.
The Biden scum are practiced criminals.......nobody is as adept as they
are at contriving criminal plans and schemes to enrich themselves.
When a whole flock of pigs fly past my living room window.
Special counsels are only for Republicans/Conservatives.
When the "good" people break the law the AG looks the other way like Barr did.
I’ll not hold my breath.
i give them credit for saying the right thing, but they have no power to do anything.
Merrick will get right on it.
