Peter Schweizer: Biden Criminality a ‘Clear-Cut Case
breitbart ^ | 8/23/2023 | editors

Posted on 08/24/2023 5:11:20 PM PDT by bitt

The mainstream media reporters are still missing the real story—bribery likely took place during Joe and Hunter Biden’s involvement with Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer is joined by Seamus Bruner on the latest Drill Down podcast, and together they lay out the case, based on their research, that bribery clearly took place: The Biden family was paid in exchange for explicit favors done by then Vice President Joe Biden for a foreign entity.

“This is a clear violation of the law. This is criminal conduct that’s occurring. This is a direct bribe. It’s a quid pro quo,” Schweizer says. “The bottom line is, it doesn’t matter if you ever demonstrate that a single penny went to Joe Biden, because bribery can mean paying off your family. If a politician’s family gets paid and the politician performs a service for that, it’s a bribe in the same way. So, to me, this is now a clear-cut case.”

That assertion comes after Seamus Bruner found yet more evidence on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, has been on the Hunter Biden story since 2017 and “may have spent more time on the Hunter Biden laptop computer than Hunter Biden has,” Schweizer quips.

Bruner just unearthed evidence that further establishes the direct connection between Hunter Biden’s being named to the board of directors of Burisma and his father the Vice President threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid to the Ukrainian government unless it fired the prosecutor who was then investigating Burisma for corruption.

That prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, was indeed fired right before Biden handed over the aid money to Ukraine, as Biden himself bragged about doing at a 2018 foreign policy conference.

Biden and Son are dirty. They will be pursued by the justice system and will go to prison like Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Oh, wait....

Following the most recent set of Justice Dept rules, Biden should be considered Guilty, and offered a chance to appear in court to prove his innocence.

The VP was so sure of himself, he actually threatened on video to withhold $1 billion in mandated U.S. aid to the Ukrainian govt unless it fired the prosecutor who was then investigating Burisma and his son Hunter Biden for corruption.

Biden thinks his criminal actions brought in the bucks but all he did was become owned he’ll have to keep dishing out favors or they talk.

Cartels don’t let you off the hook only one way out.
