“The buck didn’t stop with The Big Guy, that’s where it started,” Rep. Clay Higgins says, referring to a bribery allegation against President Joe Biden....... The White House dismisses the revelation that a government whistleblower implicates President Joe Biden in a bribery scheme, calling the accusation no different than other investigations of the president’s family “going on five years.” But this allegation is quite different, noted one member of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. “This is the first time there has been a direct link to President Biden and influence peddling,” Rep.

Every day it gets harder and harder to use FreeRepublic. For some reason the site is suffering from unspecified "server" problems that are rarely explained in a way that longstanding members such as myself can even find.
