House Oversight Chair Comer quietly subpoenas bank records for Hunter Biden business associates

[onthedarkside]

 

House Oversight Chairman James Comer has quietly subpoenaed Bank of America asking for records relating to three of Hunter Biden’s business associates, the committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin, disclosed in a letter sent to Comer on Sunday.

 

The subpoena was broad and called for “all financial records” spanning 14 years, beginning in 2009, according to a copy of the letter obtained by CNN.

 

Bank of America has since turned over a considerable number of materials in compliance with the subpoena, a source familiar with the communications told CNN.

Biden's lawyer has already admitted the laptop is Hunter's.

What did they say about data and files found on the laptop?

If lawyers are smart, they say as little as possible. They did admit the laptop was his because they filed a lawsuit against the Mac Store owner for breaching their data and confidentiality on the laptop.  All nonsense as idiot Hunter signed away his rights when he gave the laptop for repair and left it beyond the 90 days. 

 

What would you expect from a crack addict?

There are different issues:

- the laptop. As you mention, they have admitted it was his laptop,

- the files. They may or may not be his, or all of them may not be his files, as there is no guarantee there was no tampering. And not admissible in court as there was a breach of chain custody.

- even in the case the files were his, these files don't show any criminal activity by Hunter. They also don't implicate Joe as he was not a shareholder of the JV project discussed in the email. The NYPost has kept a copy of the laptop content for 2 gears, and nothing else has come up yet.

 

"There were two supposed “smoking guns” about Joe Biden that conservatives touted in the materials. The first was an email the Post called a “blockbuster,” in which an executive at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma thanked Hunter for the “opportunity to meet your father” in 2015. If you’re steeped in Trumpworld lore, this was damning because of the theory that Biden had the corrupt prosecutor general of Ukraine fired to benefit Burisma, and Biden had said he knew nothing about Hunter’s Ukrainian work, but look, a meeting! (Apparently, it was a dinner at Cafe Milano that Hunter had organized, with about a dozen people.) This appears to amount to Vice President Biden seemingly going to one dinner.

The second involved a business venture that Hunter tried to set up with a Chinese energy tycoon in 2017 (after Joe Biden was no longer vice president). One email mentions that the equity split would include “10 held by H for the big guy ?” A former business partner of Hunter’s named Tony Bobulinski came forward to claim “the big guy” was Joe Biden. But a subsequent email from Hunter says his “Chairman” gave him “an emphatic no,” and a further email clarifies that the chairman is his dad."

Well, if Stephen Miller says so...

You've got to be kidding.

And what exactly does "CCP connected" mean. Is it like a 6 degrees of separation thing?

but the Manhattan prosecutor wants to go after Trump for a misdemeanor campaine finance payment. Under Biden, America is in severe downfall.

Unbelievable!

As usual, they have nothing. It's not forbidden to make business with Chinese.companies. Trump also did, BTW.

You have to keep in mind that MAGA members live in oppositeworld. So to them, an "emphatic no" means a "resounding yes".

For what it's worth, I have actually linked and quoted that article. I specifically cited that "emphatic no" To date, none of the usual suspects here on aseannow.com have acknowledged this.

Much has been made about the fact that a bank or banks have filed Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) on transactions with Hunter Biden and others. While the name of the report sounds incriminating, most of those reports never amount to anything

 

How many SARs would a large bank file in a year?
A BPI study found that, in 2017, a sample of the largest banks reviewed approximately 16 million alerts, filed over 640,000 SARs, and received feedback from law enforcement on a median of 4% of those SARs. Ultimately, this means that 90-95% of the individuals that banks report on were likely innocent.

Maybe he did, but was he in office at the time as Biden was? I don't think so.

 

And, were talking CCP (Chinese Communist Party), and NOT private/state CN companies.

 

You got nothing. Show me where Trump received payment from the CCP.

LOL.good ole Biden and his family receiving payments from the Chinese Communist Party.

 

But Trump commits a misdemeanor and the Manhatten AG Briggs goes off and issues a grand jury.

 

Wow, you Americans have got to figure out who the enemy is and who to vote for!

 

 

Comer's claim that he has evidence means nothing until he actually provides the evidence.

What's more, I don't see any claim that Joe Biden was involved. Among rational people, It's not a crime to be related to a son or brother. Or do you believe that's a matter of choice?

And, of course what makes all these claims truly nuts is that Biden is pushing very hard against the Chinese. Far harder than any President since China opened up to the world.  So hard that China is invoking the possibility of war.

And yet Biden is not afraid of being blackmailed?

House GOP gains access to Hunter Biden banking records from Treasury Department

"Treasury Department officials said they engaged in multiple rounds of consultation with the committee but had to protect the privacy of the records and consult with law enforcement officials before granting access."

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/03/14/treasury-house-gop-hunter-biden-bank-records/11469540002/

 

And as I have already pointed out, Suspicious Activity Reports mostly result in no further law enforcement action.

Well, ok, show us the evidence to the contrary. Ask yourself why the Bidens, his admin etc are not disputing this. And if it's false, show proof!!

*Deleted post edited out*

 

I have rarely seen such a blatant demonstration of utter cluelessness as you have just revealed. For one thing, the key to modern warfare is advanced chips. Biden has seen to it that China denied access both to the machines that can make advanced chips, and to advanced chips themselves.

I don't know what kind of education you had, but I know that I was taught the futility of proving a negative. Let's say, Comer alleged that Biden was in league with an alien space force. How would Biden disprove that?

You are stating as a proven fact what is only an allegation. Didn't that school of yours teach you the difference?

At any rate, it's clear you need reminding:

If it's false, Biden should say so and you should prove it, otherwise you got, as usual. NOTHING.
