President Joe Biden’s apologists on Capitol Hill and in the press are scrambling to cover-up, minimize and explain away his family’s business dealings, riding on the “Biden Brand” to rake in about $30 million all from foreign sources, including Russia, China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, etc., pouring millions into his family’s coffers while Joe was Vice President under former President Barack Obama. While running Obama’s anti-corruption task force in Ukraine, Joe landed his 53-year-old son Hunter and his 58-year-old business partner Devon Archer lucrative jobs on the board of corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings. Hunter and Devon made millions over five year period on the Burisma board. Democrats, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), fiercely defend Biden, discrediting the work of House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) to expose Biden’s corruption.
Raskin wants the public to believe that Biden family foreign business dealings have nothing to with then Vice President Joe Biden or President Joe Biden unless the House Oversight Committee proves payments were made to Joe directly. Biden forcefully says he knew nothing of his son’s foreign business dealings, despite Archer testifying Aug. 3 that Biden was on the speakerphone at numerous meetings asking the public to believe he only talked about the weather. Democrats and the press want all the heat on former President Donald Trump, all for his heinous crimes of storing worthless old classified docs in moving boxes at his Mar-a-Lago residence. But when the House Oversight Committee uncovers potential corruption by the president of the United States it’s all frivolous, inconsequential. Where’s the objectivity in Congress and the media? It doesn’t exist.
Democrats and the press narrative has shifted from the president knew nothing about his son and brother Jim’s foreign business dealings back to the politically-driven charges against Trump. “It’s clear Joe Biden knew about his son’s business dealings and allowed himself to be “the brand” sold to erich the Biden family while he was Vice President of the United States,” said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) in a statement. “Comer memo doesn’t show anything about President Biden. And faced with the inability to uncover any evidence that President Biden did anything wrong. Comer is now explicitly moving the goal posts,” said White House Spokesman Ian Sams. Raskin repeats the White House talking points that Joe was not involved in any of his son’s business dealings. Democrats and the media want the public fixated on Trump’s ongoing indictments.
Raikin lead the House Impeachment hearing against Trump for “incitement of insurrection,” blaming Trump for the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection. When the Senate acquitted Trump Feb. 13, 2021, Raskin and other Democrats shifted to starting the House Jan. 6 Select Committee work, picking up where the impeachment failed. “Rather that concede basic fact, Republicans have repeatedly twisted and mischaracterized the evidence in a transparent and increasingly embarrassing attempt to justify their baseless calls for an impeachment inquiry and distract from former President Trump’s dozens of outstanding felony criminal charges in three different cases,” Raskin said. Raskin, like Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Md.), spew unending lies to cover-up any Democrat malfeasance, just like Raikin wants to put all the heat on Trump. Biden’s corruption far eclipses anything that Trump has done before, during and after his presidency.
When you think about the charges against Trump, they pale in comparusib to what Comer and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have found about the Biden family business. Democrats and the press want the public to think unless Republicans can show a bank account assigned to Joe Biden he wasn’t engaged in corruption with his son Hunter and brother Jim. Raskin’s conspicuous attempts of divert attention way from Biden putting the onus back on Trump speaks volumes of how Democrats are worried that an impeachment proceeding would damage Biden politically before the 2024 election. With so much blinding partisanship in Washington, Raskin and Schiff are the tip of the sword in defending Biden from what could be career-ending corruption. Russian billionaire Yelena Boutina paid Hunter and Archer’s company millions but was excluded from U.S. sanctions.
Whether denied by Democrats and the press as “Russian disinformation,” President Joe Biden is closely attached to his son Hunter, brother Jim’s foreign business dealings, whether or not cash was deposited directly into Joe’s personal accounts. Democrats and the press don’t know the way the Biden family distributed funds through various shell companies and corporate accounts. Whether Joe had his name on an account or not doesn’t mean that he didn’t benefit from the years of foreign business transactions netting the Biden family millions. Democrats and the press want to cover-up the growing body of information of Biden family corruption, closing ranks with the press and social media companies like they did in 2020. If they try to pull the Russian disinformation case again, the public should be onto the deliberate attempt to cover-up Biden family corruption.
