WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans who read an FBI informant file accusing President Biden of a role in a $5 million bribery scheme said Thursday that it involved the Ukrainian company Burisma — but Biden tauntingly retorted, “Where’s the money?”
“It’s a bunch of malarkey,” Biden told a Post reporter when asked about the bribery claim hours after FBI Director Christopher Wray agreed to let rank-and-file House Oversight Committee members read a June 2020 document in a bid to avoid being held in contempt.

So you would rather keep Joey? It’s Lose Lose either way. Maybe the Cackling Whore would do less damage. At this point it may be worth watching the Dems try to work with the whore.
According to the whistleblower complaint, the Burisma guy funneled the money through so many different channels that it would take investigations “10 years to unravel”.
First they'd have to look.
too clever by half. lots of links:
10 Dec 2019: Washington Standard: Obama’s $65 Million Book Deal Followed $350 Million Common Core Contract To His New Publisher
According to Investment Watch (IWB), something doesn’t quite look right.
Obama gave Pearson Publishing $350 million to create Commoncore text and Pearson gave Obama a $65 million dollar book deal in return.
…and…
Pearson Publishing was paid for Commoncore but Penguin Random House Publishing did the Obama book deal. But there is commonality with the two:
From Wiki:
Penguin Random House was formed on July 1, 2013, upon the completion of a £2.4 billion transaction between Bertelsmann and Pearson to merge their respective trade publishing companies, Random House and Penguin Group. Bertelsmann and Pearson, the parent companies, owning 53% and 47%, respectively.
In July 2017, Pearson agreed to sell a 22% stake in the business to Bertelsmann, thereby retaining a 25% holding.
That sounds like a classic bribe. You give me this big contract, and I’ll kick back some to you at a later date. Chicago Way. The book cash flowed to Obama in 2017. Pearson, incidentally, seemed to lose money anyway, given the public distaste for Obama’s federal takeover of education via Common Core, which extended to states cutting the program.
President Trump complained about the apparent quid pro quo last summer.
It’s not the first time Obama has done things like this, either. IWB notes that Obama’s net neutrality stance benefited Netflix, and surprise, surprise, he got a lucrative deal with Netflix, too.
One hand washes the other...

Honestly it may have slipped in his memory where the money is...
We don’t know what the underbid was. If somebody offered $60 million then $65 million for his book isn’t payola. That book actually did sell unlike most political books. Some of Obama’s Hollywood deals are probably a lot dirtier than this.
The Malarkey from the DOJ is the biggest existential threat to the USA.
Bull *hit is malarkey
Biden now has his
I am not a crook moment
Nixonian
Of course he is confident. He has gotten away with everything so far. What makes anyone think he won’t get away with this too?
very interesting, thanks!
He must have a lot of faith in the family money laundering scheme.
Hunter answer: sssssssnnnnfffffff..did you say something dad?
Does it matter what he did with the money as long as there’s proof he took it?
A Banana Dictatorship corrupt to the core
I thought he owned 4.
And it will work. No one will look in to it. Never mind Hunter paying 50k a month in “rent. And the very profitable LLCs of his grand kids?
He is laughing in our faces. He knows nothing will happen to him, he knows we know nothing will happen to him. All while ordering his henchmen to get Trump on the stupidest non crimes. He may as well come out and admit to all his crimes and say, “What are you gonna do about it, fat.” He also knows he doesn’t even have to campaign. He is already “re-elected” and he knows that too.
Federal agents (ech) can’t find what they won’t look for.
“Of course he is confident. He has gotten away with everything so far. What makes anyone think he won’t get away with this too?”
Even if Trump were to win, and Republicans win both House & Senate, any attempts to prosecute Biden will fail. I’m sure they have a string of doctors ready to declare that Joe’s diminished capacity makes him unable to participate in a trial - mentally incompetent.
