We already knew that the Biden family was getting money from Chinese entities, those entities we believe were associated with the Chinese Communist Party. But we did not have proof that the Biden family was receiving money from the Chinese Communist Party, which this congressman asserts.

However, the assertion so far is not that Joe Biden himself got money either from an entity associated with the Chinese Communist Party nor from the party itself.

More remains to be proved:

That Joe himself got direct payment (unlikely) but more likely that the money went to the family and money, which is fungible after all, went to Joe; that the entities that paid the family the money were either the Communist Party or a mere front for the Communist Party.

The question then remains whether there was collusion between Joe and the family concerning the transfers of money.

Wasn't Hunter Biden bitter that he was paying Joe's home maintenance costs?

Exccerpt:

Text messages reportedly retrieved from Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop indicate that Joe Biden personally benefited financially from his son’s business dealings, including while the elder Biden was serving as vice president.
“I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years,” Hunter Biden wrote to his daughter Naomi in January 2019, the New York Post reported over the weekend.
“It’s really hard. But don’t worry, unlike pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.”

As you said, cash is fungible. If Hunter is paying the maintenance that Joe no longer has to, isn't that the same as if Joe received the cash outright and then paid the maintenance with it?

Joe is still left in the same end position of pocketing the money that should have gone into his home maintenance.

Hunter just laundered the Chinese money through Joe's home maintenance.

These amounts are minor, but are examples of how Hunter could have funneled money into Joe's pocket, that is, "pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years."

Yes, we "knew" or suspected. However, having "proof" that this was the case is different. It seems like they now have "proof".

That being said, I, like other Freepers, don't believe Joe will be prosecuted or spend any time in a jail cell. We have a two-tiered system of justice in this country. Dems get off. Repubs do not.
