House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) laid out a damning case against President Joe Biden and his family, accusing the Biden clan of funneling millions of dollars from a company linked to the Chinese Community Party through “shady” companies, with some of that money ultimately ending up in Biden’s personal bank account.
Rep. Comer, one of the key Republicans leading the impeachment inquiry into President Biden, laid out the timeline and transactions in a slick video posted to X Wednesday. In it, he says Hunter Biden pressured a Chinese company to pay his company $10 million or else face the wrath of then-Vice President Biden.
In 2017, Comer said, Hunter sent a message to an executive at CEFC demanding a $10 million capital payment, claiming he was sitting with his father and that “the Biden network would turn on the associate if he didn’t pony up the money.”
“I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” Hunter Biden told Henry Zhao, the director of Chinese asset management firm Harvest Fund Management. “And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.”
Zhao responded, in part, “CEFC is willing to cooperate with the family.”
According to Comer, just days later an initial $5 million payment was made from one company linked to CEFC to another controlled by Hunter and an associate from CEFC. The trail of disbursements eventually reached James and Sarah Biden, who ultimately cut a check to Biden himself in the amount of $40,000 and labeled it as a “loan repayment.”
“It’s certainly possible… it was indeed a loan payment to Joe,” Comer said. “But even if this $40,000 check was a loan repayment from James Biden, it still shows how Joe benefitted from his family cashing in on his name with money from China no less. Without his family peddling his name, and his son threatening a CEFC associate with consequences that he said Joe Biden knew about, James wouldn’t have had the $40,000 to write a check to his brother Joe.”
The scheme “began when Joe Biden was still Vice President,” Comer concludes, demonstrating how Biden “exposed himself to blackmail and put America’s interests behind his own desire for money.”
President Biden stated in 2020 that his family never took money from China, a claim that has since been proven false through the Oversight Committee’s rigorous exploration of bank documents and emails from Hunter’s laptop showing how Biden showered Chinese executives with personal phone calls, visits, and even a letter of recommendation for one man’s daughter.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is expected to reinvigorate the impeachment inquiry into Biden, which began under his predecessor Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). Biden has denied all involvement in his family’s business affairs despite evidence and testimony showing otherwise. A large majority of Americans believe Biden was involved to some extent.
I am sure that Raskin and all the jackal democrats will dismiss this as a nothing burger
Yoohoo
The Manchurian Candidate
Oh goody, another bombshell. I just love bombshells. Has any bombshell ever amounted to anything?
You are right, has any of these bombshells ever gone off?
not this s%^t again
Down the rabbit hole, it goes.
“The most insidious power the media has, is the power to ignore.” — Chris Plante, WMAL, DC
Ratskin will just outright deny it.
So many Bombshells and so little time. What a joke.
As the world burns
The Bidens are little more than 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.”
“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 Hunter’s plea deal judge said it reminded her of a Mafia movie.
James Biden lied to the IRS, saying “that he recalled not being involved with anything beyond 2017.”
And here’s James frantically contacting Hunter in 2018 about getting bribe money from the Chinese.
James Biden, sent a message to Hunter in February 2018 that he was “in a near panic” because “we got nothing in Feb! … Did K [likely Kevin Dong, Hunter’s Chinese business partner] cut us off in Feb?”
“I thought you had said that the Chinese wired $$$ into your account, 82.5 was on its way.
We can’t find any record that was sent. Did I miss something?”
Curious use of “we.” Could mean James and his wife.
Could also mean James and his brother Joe.
Not sure. Mostly they seem to have bombed.
a la la la bomba
I don’t see any morning raids or frog marches
They haven’t impeached this bastard yet? Many of us already know what a crook Biden is! When are they gonna exact some retribution from his ass?
They've landed with less impact than a Scud with a wet fuse.
I will never again see a country anything close to the one I grew up in.
You have to ask what would have to be the mechanism for justice on this? First would be political. A majority of people would need to hear from their television other folks on television hyperventilating over this daily over a period of at least weeks to generate enough outrage to scare the Democrat party.
Never going to happen.
Second would be criminal, a special counsel would have to be appointed and generate enough evidence to scare the Democrat party.
Never going to happen.
Because both the news media and the justice department are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Democrat party.
What is left is for republicans to spend their time between now and election day harping on this in the hope that enough republican voters can be roused from their stupor and enough Democrat voters can be made ashamed enough to overcome the margin of fraud and get this mob family out of the white house.
and................................?
Unless and until this is reported by the MSM, it never happened. I’m not saying it never happened, but to the typical LIV, it never happened. And even if it DOES get reported in the MSM, they’ll simply dismiss it with a lot of tortured reasoning and explanations as to why it’s a “nothingburger”.
