$10M Appeared in Biden’s 2017 Tax Return, Bribery Investigators Find
SLAY ^ | June 15, 2023 - 8:41 am | David Lindfield

Democrat President Joe Biden’s 2017 tax return shows that he received a staggering $10 million without any details of the source, congressional investigators probing an alleged bribery scheme have discovered.

The investigation by the conservative Federalist Society found one of Biden’s corporate entities reported nearly $10 million in revenue without detailing the sources.

The discovery has raised alarm bells in Congress as allegations of a bribery scheme involving Biden family members continue to mount.

House Republicans investigating the alleged bribery scheme have responded by demanding answers from Biden regarding his personal tax returns.

The president’s critics believe the sudden influx of money may be related to allegations of bribery against Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

The family has been accused of accepting bribes from foreign entities while Joe Biden was serving as Obama’s vice president.

Joe and Hunter Biden are accused of taking a $5 million bribe each from the founder of Burisma Holdings in return for shutting down a fraud investigation into the Ukrainian energy company.

CelticCapri Corp, an S-corporation for Joe Biden, was not listed on the president’s personal tax returns or campaign website.

The discovery is raising red flags as to why Biden would conceal such a large income source from the taxpaying public.

According to Breitbart, the investigation was launched after the Federalist Society took issue with a 2020 “fact check” article by USA Today that attempted to carry water for Biden.

The USA Today article claims Biden earned “$15.6 million … from speaking fees and book deals” between 2017 and 2019.

It adds that “more than $10 million of that total income was profits from Biden’s memoir ‘Promise Me, Dad’ and $3 million in profits from Jill Biden’s book.”

Following the citations within the USA Today article led readers to no details on the S-corporation.

The report creates, what the Federal Society referred to as, a “smokescreen.”

House Republicans believe they may have found a potential smoking gun as they race to uncover the truth behind testimony from an FBI informant.

The informant alleges that President Biden took $5 million in bribes from a Ukrainian oligarch.

The alleged bribe was given for assistance in the firing of a top Ukraine prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.

At the time, Burimsa hired Hunter Biden and paid him tens of thousands of dollars a month to sit on its board, despite his total lack of experience in the energy industry.

The firing of the prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, eased the path for Hunter Biden to conduct business operations in the country.

Skokin was ousted after then-VP Biden withheld U.S. aid from Ukraine until the prosecutor was fired.

Members of the Republican caucus told Breitbart that the latest evidence regarding the president’s lack of transparency is deeply concerning.

“The President seems to find selling out our country funny. We don’t,” said Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC).

“If he’s serious about proving our allegations wrong he should release his and his family’s unredacted bank records and show the American people where all this money is coming from.

“The FBI can’t protect him forever.”

Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) told Breitbart that Joe Biden must come clean about the money in lieu of the alleged pay-for-pay scheme.

“The fact that there are credible claims signaling that a foreign national bribed the President of the United States with cash in exchange for influence over U.S. policy decisions is appalling.

“The American people deserve to know who paid the Bidens and what exactly they were paid for,” he said.

“Now that we know there are recordings of conversations Joe Biden and his degenerate son had with a Burisma executive, it’s becoming more and more obvious how the indictment of President Trump is meant to be a distraction,” Crane added.

“It would shock no one in this town if Joe Biden received millions of dollars from selling out the country in a bribery scheme and then hid that money in shady shell companies.”

So where is the special prosecutor? I can remember when Charlie Rose was on CBS Mornings before he got fired for some weird sexual perversion, he was Red in the face almost having a heart attack calling for a special prosecutor for Trump.

I understand Jim Jordan is furious. He just took his coat off and has added this $10 million dollar bribe to his Biden/Hunter/Hillary/Obama talking points. Look for an appearance on Hannity, followed by a sharply written letter to someone in authority.

Shouldn’t there be a W-2 or 1099 for that income if from a US source?

“Investigators find”

Here is a story from 2019

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/09/politics/joe-biden-tax-returns/index.html

Biden’s campaign released his 2016, 2017 and 2018 federal and state tax returns, showing he and his wife Jill made $11 million in 2017 and $4.6 million in 2018. He also filed a financial disclosure that details individual payments for speeches the two gave.

Imagine if such real damning evidence of influence peddling were found on Trump’s tax returns. The DOJ would already be building a gallows on the Washington Mall. In 2018 Biden is on camera boasting how he got a Ukrainian prosecutor fired with the threat of withholding US aid….virtually admitting he caused this to happen. It shouldn’t be hard to show Biden received a $5 million payout from the Burisma head and that son Hunter was employed by Burisma without ever doing anything.

If this were discovered on ANY Republican's tax return it would be front page news for months along with all of the Dem harumphing and Congressional investigations to go with it. Biden? (Or any DemocRAT)

The article says:

The USA Today article claims Biden earned “$15.6 million … from speaking fees and book deals” between 2017 and 2019.

It adds that “more than $10 million of that total income was profits from Biden’s memoir ‘Promise Me, Dad’ and $3 million in profits from Jill Biden’s book.”

Following the citations within the USA Today article led readers to no details on the S-corporation.

My comment:

As I remember, there was some controversy over Biden (who claims he wants to tax rich people more) allegedly using a tax reducing scheme a few years back.

Right! They couldn’t even censure that piece of crap. They are going to do absolutely nothing about this scandal. America is lost. We have no government only social communist dictators. Get it through your heads people our beloved nation slipped out of hands during our stupor of comfort.

The multi-million dollar book deals politicians get raise my eyebrows.

A professor spending a year on a text might get $50,000 if he/she is lucky. Some textbook authors have made much more [Samuelson, “Economics”, etc.].

Mark Levin will pound his desk and yell and scream on his radio show this afternoon. That should scare Biden enough to come clean.
