Five stories Joe Biden told about the family business that turned out to be untrue
Just the News ^ | 8/14/23 | John Solomon and Steven Richards

Posted on 08/14/2023 2:17:24 AM PDT by CFW

In a colorful exchange last week with a journalist, Joe Biden snapped when asked about recent testimony from family friend Devon Archer that the president had met and talked on the phone with his son Hunter’s business partners. “I never talked business with anybody. I knew you'd have a lousy question,” the president fired back at Fox News’ Peter Doocy.

“Why is that a lousy question?” Doocy asked.

“Because it’s not true!” Biden exclaimed.

The exchange was extraordinary, not just for its tense atmosphere, but also because the president and his surrogates have moved the goal posts after years of claiming he had never engaged with Hunter Biden’s business clients.

The change in message reflects a harsh reality: there is now significant evidence and testimony that undercuts the seminal claims Joe Biden made about his family’s overseas business to get elected in 2020 and to deflect from a burgeoning scandal since.

In the 2020 presidential debate, for instance, Biden said: "My son has not made money from China. The only guy who has made money from China was this guy," he said, directing his comments at Trump.

If we are going to start indicting politicians for real or perceived "lies", Joe Biden is a great place to start. He has been doing it for so long, it is just second-nature (or maybe first) for him.

Did Gropin’ Joe use any chicom bribe loot during the campaign? Hussein knows all about it.

I’m still waiting for Biden to explain just what is the nature of the “family business”. What do you sell, Joe? Doocy should ask KJP that.

Based on your post we’d have indicted 535 politicians indicted. Good start if it was possible.

If lying to Congress is a crime, what is it if you are lying to everybody?

Weasel words are commonplace among the political class.

Did Joe talk to these guys? Yup.

Did they talk about “their business” stuff? Not likely.

Therefore, “Joe did not talk business with Hunter’s partners.”

But that isn’t what those calls are about. Those calls were “proof” that Hunter had access.

If money was rain, everyone around Biden had money pouring down on them. Are we supposed to believe Joe didn’t get damp?

The “dance” that the media is doing is complicit. It’s all about stretching this out for good fall ratings. The country is getting played. Again.

“Only five?”


I believe the authors were writing an article, not a book. I’m sure column space was limited. LOL!

Speaking of books, Peter Schweizer lays out in his books the corruption of Biden, Clinton, and others in the “political class” that the media goes to a lot of trouble to ignore.

“Strongarming” to get their way seems to be the Bidens MO.

Shades of “The Godfather.”

The mafioso-type hierarchical structure consisted
of Obama appointing VP Biden point man on Ukraine.

Joe bragged on video he “strongarmed” a Ukranian.....
using threats of canceling Congress-mandated foreign aid
......... billions of our tax dollars.......
to fire a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into Burisma corruption....
corruption in which his own son was immersed and would be outed.

Hunter himself “strongarmed” a Chinese client saying his VP
father would “punish him” if the Chinese guy didnt pay the Bidens.

No wonder the astute plea deal judge said it reminded her of a Mafia movie.

The Bidens are little more than common racketeers.

Racketeering is a facet of organized crime in which the racketeers set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionate, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme (a “racket”) to repeatedly or consistently collect a profit.

Racketeers coerce or threaten people, often with the threat (implicit or otherwise), that failure to comply will engender “punishment.”
