Republican Senator Chuck Grassley (I-IA) spoke before the House’s new Select Subcommittee on Political Weaponization on Thursday, when he disputed President Obama’s assertions that President Joe Biden knew nothing about the family business plans.
Joe Biden and his crew have denied he had any hand in the Biden family’s business endeavors on seven successive occasions.
I still haven’t talked to my son about his involvement in global trade. Here’s what I know: Trump has to be investigated,” Joe Biden remarked in 2019.
Senator Grassley told House members at the first “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government” hearing that whistleblower disclosures “make clear the FBI has within its possession very significant, impactful, and voluminous evidence concerning potential criminal conduct by Hunter and James Biden.”
Furthermore, “alleg[e] that Joe Biden was aware of Hunter Biden’s business dealings and may have been participating in some of them,” as Grassley phrased it.
It’s unclear why the FBI hasn’t taken any action in light of the alleged evidence.
A lot of people call the Bidens the “Biden Crime Family” now that the FBI has Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell.”
Results from a recent survey indicate that 61% of people believe that Joe Biden knew about and benefited from his son Hunter’s overseas business activities, at least one of which included a firm in mainland China. 44% of people think this is very likely to happen.
This popular perception is supported by recent business deals struck in Russia, Ukraine, and China. At a Council on Foreign Relations meeting in 2016, President Joe Biden gave an example of U.S. policy toward Ukraine by threatening to cut off military financing to the country. President and “point person” for Ukraine Joe Biden has admitted that the plan’s goal was to get prosecutor Viktor Shokin dismissed from his position. The prosecutor was investigating Burisma at the time.
Exactly two years before Joe Biden said he dismissed the prosecutor looking into Burisma, in April of 2014, Hunter joined the board of directors. Hunter was very green when it came to both Ukraine and the energy sector. Despite this, Breitbart News contributor Peter Schweizer writes in his book Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends that Hunter was paid $83,000 monthly by the energy company shortly after his father was named the United States “point person” on foreign policy toward Ukraine.
House Democrats attacked Trump’s “excellent” phone conversation with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, saying it was an attempt to blackmail Trump into giving them something in return for their support.
Hunter Biden’s old business partner Tony Bobulinski met with Joe and Hunter Biden for an hour in 2017 to explore “the Bidens’ family business goals” for a Chinese energy arrangement. As far as I can tell, no compromise was ever reached. Reports suggest that Bobulinski shared deal details with former FBI “point man” Timothy Thibault, who subsequently buried the material. Bobulinski said that 10% was “held by H for the big man,” who he identified as Joe Biden.
Nine potential crimes, including tax evasion, wire fraud, and money laundering, are under investigation into the Bidens by the Republicans in the House. Representative James Comer (R-Kentucky), leader of the House Oversight Committee, has requested that the U.S. Treasury provide 150 documents that have been flagged by U.S. institutions and may provide insight into the financial activities of the Biden family businesses.
The chairman of the committee has threatened to issue a subpoena after the Treasury denied Comer’s request.
Comer has also asked Hunter Biden for any documents or letters that might help his inquiry. Hunter’s reason for rejecting admission was a lack of “oversight basis.”
What will come of Comer’s probe is anyone’s guess. With the Republicans in charge of the House, Comer may try to use a subpoena to force the release of the essential documents.
