117th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 57
Impeaching Joseph R. Biden, President of the United States, for abuse of power by enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 21, 2021 Mrs. Greene of Georgia submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION Impeaching Joseph R. Biden, President of the United States, for abuse of power by enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors.
Resolved, That Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, is impeached for abuse of power by enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:
Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for abuse of power by enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors.
article i: abuse of power
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives âshall have the sole Power of Impeachmentâ and that the President âshall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanorsâ.
In his conduct as the former Vice President and current President of the United States, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the offices of the Vice Presidency and President of the United States, and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, defend, the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executedâJoseph Robinette Biden abused the power of the Office of the Vice President, enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors, by allowing his son to influence the domestic policy of a foreign nation and accept various benefitsâincluding financial compensationâfrom foreign nationals in exchange for certain favors.
As Vice President, Joseph Biden was the senior Obama Administration official overseeing anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine. Hence, any illegal activity involving corruption conducted by Hunter Biden within or in relation to Ukraine would fall under the purview of the Office of Vice President Biden and the Obama State Departmentâs anti-corruption efforts. In fact, many State Department officials within the Obama Administration repeatedly registered reservations about Hunter Bidenâs role on the board of a corrupt company. Thus, any instances of corruption on behalf of Hunter Biden via his role as a board member of the Ukrainian-operated Burisma energy firm were either not investigated or covered up. The evidence of widespread knowledge, corruption, and collusion on behalf of the Biden family with foreign nationals is clear and compelling.
Among other examples, it has been materially demonstrated that:
(1) According to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance, the Vice Presidentâs office and State Department officials were aware but ignored concerns relating to Hunter Bidenâs role on the board of a Ukrainian-based natural gas company (hereafter, âBurismaâ).
(2) According to the same sources, Hunter Bidenâs and his familyâs financial transactions with Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh, and Chinese nationals raise criminal concerns and extortion threats.
(3) In early 2015 the former Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, George Kent, raised concerns to officials in Vice President Joe Bidenâs office about the perception of a conflict of interest with respect to Hunter Bidenâs role on Burismaâs board. Kentâs concerns went unaddressed, and in September 2016, he emphasized in an email to his colleagues, âFurthermore, the presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma board was very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda in Ukraine.â.
(4) In October 2015, senior State Department official Amos Hochstein raised concerns with Vice President Biden, as well as with Hunter Biden, that Hunter Bidenâs position on Burismaâs board enabled Russian disinformation efforts and risked undermining U.S. policy in Ukraine. Vice President Biden did not resolve this conflict of interest. Instead, he enabled it.
(5) In addition to the over $4 million paid by Burisma for Hunter Bidenâs board membership, Hunter Biden, and his family received millions of dollars from foreign nationals with questionable backgrounds. Specifically, the ongoing FBI investigation into Hunter Bidenâs laptop revealed that Hunter received a 2.8 carat diamond gift from a high-ranking Chinese official in 2017. Hunter Biden told the New Yorker Magazine that he âfelt uncomfortable receiving the diamond and gave it to other associatesâ.
(6) Hunter Biden had business associations with Ye Jianming, founder of the CEFC China Energy Company, Ltd., Gongwen Dong, and other Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government and the Peopleâs Liberation Army. Those associations resulted in millions of dollars in cash flow. There exists a vast web of corporate connections and financial transactions between and among the Biden family and Chinese nationals.
(7) Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be linked to an âEastern European prostitution or human trafficking ringâ.
(8) In 2016, Ukraineâs top anti-corruption prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, had an active and ongoing investigation into Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. At the time, Hunter Biden continued to serve on Burismaâs board of directors. According to news reports, then Vice-President Biden âthreatened to withhold $1 billion in United States loan guarantees if Ukraineâs leaders did not dismiss [Shokin]â. After that, Ukraineâs Parliament fired Shokin.
(9) Hunter Biden received millions of dollars from foreign sources as a result of business relationships that he built during the period when his father was Vice President of the United States and after. The financial transactions which Hunter engaged in illustrate serious counterintelligence and extortion concerns relating to Hunter Biden and his family.
(10) Hunter Bidenâs work with Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime illustrate the deep financial connections that accelerated while his father was Vice President and continued after he left office.
(11) On June 23, 2011, Sean Conlon, a business associate of Hunter Biden, suggested that a $10 billion deal could be struck in exchange for certain persons meeting Vice President Biden. This shows deliberate âpay-for-playâ and âquid-pro-quoâ. The email, in full, to Robert Biden, from Sean Conlon, is as follows:
(A) âSo we have engagement letter if they get other 10 bonds they have a face value of 10b. While it is far fetched Devon [Archer] said he talked to his professor and these get traded. We get 10% in fees. We need to get these guys to an event or something where they get to just formally meet your Dad. For follow on they can talk to Chief of Staff. Let me know how soon we can do that. V brief. If Nagi get that done we get more bonds to move. Regards your hard working partner in Positano! Seanâ (emphasis added).
(12) Emails between Hunter Biden and his cousin reveal that the President of Hunterâs Chinese Communist Party-linked firm, Eric Schwerin, repeatedly asked Hunter for an appointment to the Commission for the Preservation of Americaâs Heritage Abroadâa position he ultimately received. The email from Hunter to his cousin, Missy, regarding the request for the appointment to the Commission is as follows:
(A) âEric asked for one of these [an appointment] the day after the election in 2008. You know better than me what are real and interesting appointments. Letâs go through the list with Steve and see what makes sense. I donât know how much 2016 and nepotism plays into it.â.
In all of this, President Biden gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of government. Through blatant nepotism, he enabled his son to influence foreign policy and financially benefit as a result of his role as Vice President. He supported his son engaging in collusion with Chinese Communist Party-linked officials. He allowed his son to trade appointments with his father and other high-ranking administration officials in exchange for financial compensation. He permitted his son to take money from Russian oligarchs, including Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow.
In so doing, Joseph R. Biden threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coordinate branch of government. He thereby betrayed his trust as former Vice President and current President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore President Biden, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. President Biden thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
No it isn’t. I’m fine with articles being drawn up, but there’s no way they’ll even see the light of day untl we take back the House, and even if we do manage to impeach, we need enough vertibrate GOPers to convict and remove.
Unlike their made up Russia collusion garbage, here there is proof
This stuff is designed to fool conservatives into thinking something is being done. It’s to keep conservatives idle. Like “Trust Session” and “Trust the Plan”. All BS.
The utter stupidity of the Republican Party is surpassed only by its perfidy.
“Why don’t these grifters just cut the bullshit? It’s not going to happen.”
MTG is Far from a Grifter. She’s the type of Congressman we need far more of.
Yes, the Dems currently control the House so this is going nowhere. For now. But, the charges leveled all have merit and it does serve to keep this info in the spotlight for people who seek info beyond the MSM.
Just because you are a cynic does not mean the people taking some actions, even though futile at the moment, are Grifters.
It’s happening in your dreams.
Not with the Pelousey Dictocrats having majority of House.
While I am all for Biden’s impeachment, it saddens me to think of how many times and how many Presidents have been impeached in my lifetime. Surely, that alone tolls the ending of our republic in the not too distant future.
I think Xiden's only use was to take the Oval Office ad now is becoming a liability.
His role is done and he's obviously in serious mental decline.
The demonrats just might do it to get rid of him and install "The First Female President and a Woman Of Color" a that.
Not trying to be nasty at all, but do you think truth and proof matter at all in the way our “Elected” Representatives do their jobs these days?
Proof is at the city limits and truth left town long ago, unfortunately.
Nothing is happening. Piglosi will never advance these.
Did you notice who drew up these Articles?
Miss Greene is working hard at keeping her seat and relevance intact. I like her hutzpah but this won’t get off the ground much less fly. It is already in Nanzi’s circular file.
And we have a winner. My Thoughts exactly.
May go forward as Pelosi would be one easy step closer to the Presidency.
The only way Pelosi will allow impeachment to happen is if she thinks it will result in her becoming president.
