House Republicans release probe into Biden family finances

[Social Media]

House Republicans have unveiled what they say are records of $10m (£8m) in payments to members of the Biden family from foreign entities.

Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said Joe Biden's relatives had used the family name to enrich themselves, and the president was "involved".

The report itself does not substantiate these claims or implicate Mr Biden. It does not allege illegal conduct.

The White House called the report "baseless innuendo".

Republican leaders pledged to aggressively investigate Mr Biden, his administration and his family when they took over control of the US House of Representatives in last year's midterm election.

Mr Comer has faced pressure from within his party to release findings from the House Oversight Committee's ongoing inquiry into the Biden family.

 

In January, he said he would investigate "influence peddling" by Mr Biden's family.

Wednesday's report is the most detailed accounting yet of what House Republicans say they have uncovered.

Does anyone have a link to the 30 page "probe"?

 

I searched, couldn't find anything.

They’re getting crushed by a report that has zero evidence of any criminality on their part.

 

Too funny.

Are there pictures of these walls on Hunter Biden's laptop?

So far it looks like those walls are made of cardboard. Comer admitted that he had no proof of President Biden's involvement. Just his belief.

Really, what evidence was there in that report that any of the Bidens behaved illegally. And why should people care about what relatives of Biden did? Did they abuse the office of private citizen?

The investigation is fluid, patience is needed by all so a complete investigation can take place.

Congress May indeed make a recommendation to the DOJ for a formal criminal investigation.

 

However, in doing so they need to provide some evidence of crimes.

. Are the payments what you see as the incriminating evidence or is it fear of "entities", the kind that Stephen King writes about?

How many hundred thousands of U.S. businesses have received payments from foreign firms?

That is what you say every time, and it is never anything.  Republicans have cried wolf too many times since it used to work in the Clinton eras.  No one trusts them anymore.

I'm afraid I'm not the one to ask, perhaps Mr Comer could answer that.

Given that Comer believes that Suspicious Activity Reports from banks are significant evidence, why would anyone looking for a valid answer consult him?

He may answer, but it seems unlikely he will be able to offer any evidence and the little such that is on offer suggests he should not be trusted.  Typical lying republican.

This could be the biggest corruption scandal to plague American politics and it should become the biggest news story out there, in a reasonable and normal location and era but the media is doing its best to suppress the documentary evidence of Biden family corruption revealed Wednesday morning by the House Oversight Committee headed by James Comer.

 

The principal points:

• The Biden family received, and tried to hide, over $10 million in payments from foreign nationals
• A previously undisclosed $1 million in Romanian-linked payments
• Ties to Romanian 'influence peddling'
• A 'web' of 20 LLCs created while Joe Biden was Vice President with a 'complicated corporate structure'
• 'At least 15' of the LLCs were formed after Biden became VP in 2009 - several of which were owned or co-owned by Hunter
• These LLCs accepted payments ranging from $5,000 to $3 million
• The committee wants to know what legitimate business the Biden family was in

 

Even the FBI is doing its part to suppress the story by withholding key evidence. Steve Nelson writes in the New York Post:

"The FBI has refused to give Congress an informant file alleging that President Biden took bribes while he was vice president, The Post has learned — setting up a possible showdown over access to the information."

Even a cursory review of the bank wire transfers and LLC's and all the information assembled by the committee and outlined in the memorandum of MAY 10, 2023  is enough to confirm that the setup of the money transfers was intended to “Hide Over $10 Million In Foreign Payments.” There’s simply no doubt of that or one would not need to hide the payments in the layers of LLC's established by the Biden  family's business associates (see Oversight Bank memorandum, 3rd bulleted item in Summary, p.2) while Biden was VP.  Certainly the Biden family can claim that these payments were for legitimate services, but any real investigation will expose that flimflam beyond a reasonable doubt—there’s no reason to try to hide the payments if it was all on the up and up. I don't know if the Biden's have responded with any explanations for the millions in payments and what they did to earn these payments.

I doubt Biden weathers this scandal very well and manages to still remain on the ballot as he may be forced out now by his own party especially with his tanking polls compared to Trumps stellar polling results as of late and the fact that the majority of voters do not want him (Biden) to run for a few reasons ie, his age, mental sharpness, and now this massive corruption scandal . Who can blame them.

<lots of utter bs snipped>

The principal point is that, as usual, the republicans waste time and money on "investigations" and come up with a load of unproved accusations.  Other than that stop wasting people's time with your nonsense.

I recall millions in dollars and years investigating Trump based on knowingly false documents and nothing more than a "russian hoax" gong show. Biden on the other hand seems on the periphery very well poised at this point to become the most corrupt politician in American history and there needs to be an investigation to root out the corruption and prosecute and jail the Biden's for any identified state and fed crimes. Can start with money laundering, tax evasion, FARA violations on Robert (Hunter) Biden. The DOJ have never to my knowledge investigated Hunter B for this and understandably so as this would indubitably lead right back the dear old dad.

Can you sometimes post accurate information?

I didn't smear or slander nobody, so take that back. I am merely adding comments from recent news reports, and the oversight memorandum showing the money trail and 20 LLC's used to pay various members of the Biden family while Joe Biden was VP.

What part is inaccurate, my comments about ....do tell.

*Deleted post edited out*

 

What makes your comment so ridiculous is that you refer to something called the "Biden Family". So if someone is born into the Biden family or marries into it, they are willy-nilly part of a criminal enterprise?

And as has been pointed out, the informant files are kept confidential to protect the informant from having their identity exposed. What's more, informant files are unvetted. Also, this file  was in the possession of the Justice Dept during the Trump administration. Remember the Durham investigation? Despite it having the strong backing of the Attorney General, it found no conspiracy or deep state plottings in the Justice Dept to prosecute.

You've got nothing.

Okay, kids: now substitute like this "... Biden's Trump's relatives had used the family name to enrich themselves, and the president was "involved".

Thinking about Ivanka and her Chinese patents.... Jared and "loans" extorted from middle east...
