HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF
Posted on 08/08/2023 3:36:29 PM PDT by DFG
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy isn't ruling out a House impeachment of President Joe Biden, and is demanding Biden family members come forward to prove their innocence.
Appearing on Fox News opinion host Sean Hannity's program Monday night, McCarthy called on Biden to 'give us his bank statements,' days after former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer testified about their international business dealings.
'I think there's enough proof out there that this Biden family needs to come forward and show there wasn't a pay to play,' McCarthy said, echoing corruption charges being leveled by House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.).
Hinting at impeachment, at a time rank-and-file Republicans are filing resolutions and plotting probes, he said, 'We will take it wherever it [goes], and if it rises to the level, we will do our constitutional duties.'
'And this is the part I want America to know: America has a right to know if there was pay to play. America has a right to know if Garland is lying to them,' he said, of Attorney General Merrick Garland, who appointed special counsel Jack Smith to probe former President Donald Trump, and kept on a U.S. attorney from Delaware to probe Hunter Biden.
'This isn’t about Hunter Biden,' McCarthy said of the president's son, who is the subject of House Republican panel chairmen even while he tries to salvage a guilty plea in federal court over tax and gun issues.

Joe’s clean bank statements wouldn’t really prove anything. It’s more likely Hunter deposited cash in Jill’s bank account, or even left cash in the cookie jar in Joe’s kitchen. Then again Hunter is like Fredo he likely did something stupid.
.
Biden’s been hiding this for at least a dozen years, I don’t think he’s going to give up when he has the FBi, DoJ, Media, Universities, Institutions, and 99 Agencies.
Republicans need to start an Impeachment Inquiry and seize all the power that comes with that.
McCarthy’s been around long enough to know Joe is never going to
Cooperate. He better worry about witnesses and Investigators being arrested under Biden’s orders.
.
His brother and sister are both central.
Donors have given Joe and his peeps anything they want for years, too.
McCarthy s dragging his feet because he doesn’t have the votes. He doesn’t have the votes because the House Republican “majority” is made of a bunch of weak sisters who don’t deserve to be sitting on a county board much less in Congress.
needs to be put under OATH and then asked if he profited!
then when he lies again, we can get him for perjury.
.
Joe was out bragging about how little was in his bank account. You’re not going to find that money in a bank account with his name on it.
The Bribery statutes and Government Gift policy extends to family.
McCarthy may actually be doing more harm. You don’t need to find the money in a Bank Account with his name in it.
His income doesn’t support 1/10th of his lifestyle.
McCarthy is not a lawyer. However, it makes some sense to have as many answers as possible before asking pertinent questions germane to an impeachment. if he doesn’t have the votes at this point in time, then the task becomes herding the cats in the proper direction. the most expedient and effective way to do this might be to exert appropriate influence over the court of public opinion, such as through financial bank records.
one possible question is how much money Biden paid for each of his mcMansions. If he paid full market value, this can be disclosed in bank records; a legitimate followup would be to ask where the money came from given Biden’s Congressional salary at the time. If he did not pay full market value, why, and who did he buy the mansions from? If I were forced to bet, I would wager on the latter (and another round of questioning on the mcMansion sellers), since buying real estate at below market prices seems to be a common way to buy political influence these days.
Most are in on the grift.
Both sides hated PDJT.
He is a bull in the china shop, rocking the boat.
He was ruining their gig.
According to wikipedia, the USA VP salary is $234k/yr.
How does this stretch to cover all the mcMansions that Biden currently owns?

apparently Biden owns 3 mansions, valued (by who??) at an average of $1.3M each, for a total of about $4M (january 2021 dollars).
I’m not sure how much money that is in august 2023 dollars, but here is a graph of US inflation (which began to rise in march 2021, and has yet to return to that value).
OMG they impeached Trump for a lousy phone call.
.
He owned a DUPont Mansion and several other properties on a Senator’s Salary.
Joe himself said his Total Net Worth was $150,000
His DuPont Mansion probably cost $30,000 a month for upkeep and that’s conservative. That’s just one of his Properties.
Collector Corvettes, two kids in Luxury Rehabs over and over and over.
Tennis Courts, Pools, Guest houses, Basketball courts, a garage for 20 cars. Golf carts. Country Club Memberships.
Inflation from january 2021 through july 2023 inclusive is reportedly ~16.64%. (This is probably from official statistics so it is likely imho to be an understatement of actual inflation.)
so $4M in ~march 2021 is (officially) valued at ~$4.67M today (august 2023).
(real inflation as calculated by shadowstats seems to run at about 30% above official inflation figures. maybe this could be figured in somehow— i am just posting what i have so far.)

Even Hunter’s house has a Guest House
.
McCarthy is one of them.
Impeach his butt and send it to the Senate for a trial or STFUF.
(Or, maybe it's just more theater.)
I think that most of Biden’s wealth is hidden in plain sight— via undersold, underbought mcMansions— plus mcMansion flipping, plus non-profit irrevocable trusts nominally controlled controlled by multiple Biden family members.
Bribes would be arranged by selling real estate to Biden at below market value, plus a mortgage at below market terms. Biden could then choose between holding the real estate or flipping it for a quicker profit as he apparently did on at least one occasion.
Other bribes would be directed through donations made by anonymous shell corporations to biden family member irrevocable trusts.
Many Biden family expenses could then be paid through employee salaries and bonuses made to Biden family member employees of the Biden family irrevocable trusts.
I have been told that irrevocable trusts are have been in common use by old money east coast millionaires for centuries.
Yet more money could be channeled to Biden through his political campaign funds. This is especially true if Biden’s actual campaign efforts were lethargic in nature, implying less than expected expenses, and correspondingly more than expected unspent funds (which iirc (cf AOC, etc) can then be distributed to family members under the pretense that they “worked” for the Biden campaign.
No doubt all of this is well known to all members of congress.
McCarthy makes McConnell look strong.
I’m counting upwards of 40 bedrooms in that thing.
(Words fail me...)
