The Biden administration has worked overtime to stop Republicans on the House Oversight Committee from finding out the full extent of President Joe Biden’s complex web of activities with son Hunter Biden.
Committee Republicans have released an interim report on the administration’s stonewalling their requests for official government documents related to the Biden Family’s global business empire.
Traitor Joe claims he knows nothing about it. That’s demonstrably false, the report shows. The report also documents the length to which leftist social media protected Hunter Biden and his father’s campaign when the New York Post published the contents of his now-famous laptop.
That campaign of silence included using the now-disgraced FBI.
Little in the report is news. But it does provide an overview, in one place, of Clan Biden’s corruption.
In conjunction with the report, soon-to-be committee chairman James Comer announced that the committee will investigate Biden’s self-dealing and other corruption.
Security Risk
The report opens by demolishing the claims, oft-made by Biden Sr., that he knew nothing about his family’s planetary business empire, which Hunter built without much trouble despite his sex and drug addictions.
“During the 2020 presidential campaign, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden assured the American people he was not involved in his family members’ multi-million-dollar global business deals,” the 31-page report recalls:
He assured Americans he had always remained apart from his family’s business interests while he was Vice President.
Evidence obtained by Committee on Oversight and Reform Republicans shows these assurances were false. President Joe Biden has participated in his family’s global business ventures with America’s adversaries. He has misused his public positions to further his family’s financial interests. These actions have created the potential for President Biden to be susceptible to influence, blackmail, or extortion by a malign or foreign entity, including the Chinese Communist Party.
The report also provides the laptop’s revelations. They include an email showing that Joe Biden met with Hunter’s business pals in 2015, which proves that Biden’s I-didn’-no-nuffin’ defense was a lie.
That email was from Vadym Pozharskyi. He was an adviser to Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian gas company that employed Hunter Biden despite his lack of experience in the energy industry. “Thank you for inviting me to DC and giving [me] an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together,” the email dated April 17, 2015 says.
The report briefly mentions Tony Bobulinski, one of Hunter’s many former business associates. Just before the 2020 election, Bobulinski fingered Joe Biden as the “big guy” in an email that directly connected him to one of Hunter’s shady deals with Red China.
Noting that the administration is obstructing justice, the report says the Treasury Department possesses “at least 150 Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to Biden family members’ financial transactions.”
Yet Republicans can’t get their hands on those damning reports:
Despite numerous formal requests by Committee Republicans to review those SARs, and despite decades of precedent of Treasury making SARs available pursuant to congressional requests, the Biden Administration changed longstanding policy and now refuses to produce Biden family SARs or to make them available for Committee Republican investigators’ in camera review.
Banks won’t provide the information either, because the GOP minority does not have the power to subpoena the records.
In fact, the White House has not only refused to cooperate with House Republicans but also spent more than $265,000 “at taxpayers’ expense — specifically assigned to thwart this investigation and other probes.”
Big Tech’s Campaign Help
Also disturbing (but, again, not news) is the report’s rendition of leftist social media’s role in helping the Biden campaign by spiking the laptop story.
“The day of the New York Post’s reporting — October 14, 2020 — Facebook and Twitter took steps to limit the story’s distribution among its users,” the report observes:
Drawing on a vague 2018 policy, Twitter removed the Post’s story alleging that it could be used “to incentivize hacking by allowing Twitter to be used as distribution for possibly illegally obtained materials.” Twitter did not provide evidence that material in the Post’s story was accessed or obtained through hacking or, for that matter, any illegal activity. The same day, Twitter also locked out the Post from its Twitter account, preventing it from sharing or posting content even unrelated to the Biden family. The next day, Twitter appended warning labels to the information; the Post remained locked out of its account for two weeks.
The report also recounts Facebook’s contribution to the campaign. A month before the election, leftist Facebook chieftain Mark Zuckerberg “told the Senate Commerce Committee that his company “throttled the spread” of the New York Post reporting after being warned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) “to be on ‘heightened alert’ about ‘hack and leak operations’ in the final days before the 2020 election.”
In August, Zuckerberg reiterated that confession on Joe Rogan’s popular podcast.
“The actions Facebook and Twitter took against the New York Post greatly suppressed the story and aided the Biden Campaign by discrediting the true reporting,” the report rightly avers:
The later revelations that at least Facebook was working at the behest of the FBI raises additional questions about whether the government was working to censor information and limit free discourse.
The FBI agents who briefed Facebook were Democratic donors.
Neither Facebook nor Twitter has provided answers to the Republican’s question about their role in falsely declaring the laptop “Russian disinformation.”
As social media revved up algorithms to help the Biden campaign, the report notes, the leftist mainstream media provided cover by repeating Biden’s ridiculous lie that the laptop was “Russian Disinformation.”
Committee Republicans are also concerned about Hunter’s connection to a billionaire Russian widow who pumped tens of millions of dollars into his real estate schemes.
They also want to know about the younger Biden’s budding fame as an artist. A gallery is selling the crack-smoking sex fiend’s work for anywhere between $75,000 and $500,000.
The prices are a concern because the gallery owner has said he wants “to be the ‘lead guy in China’ for art,” the report observes:
Hunter has connections to some of the wealthiest and most powerful members of the Chinese government. Foreign governments using “transactions involving high-value art to evade sanctions imposed on them by the United States” is well established.
Committee Republicans won’t have to wait long to get answers or documents. Once they take power in January and their investigation begins, they’ll subpoena documents and witnesses. “Accountability is coming,” they tweeted.
Documents and testimony will provide an interesting look at just how Joe Biden’s son and other family members have used Biden Sr.’s power and influence to get rich.
It’s about time for Americans to know why Joe Biden’s son is considered an energy expert without having experience in the energy business, a real estate tycoon without having experience in real estate, and a world-class painter without having any known talent for painting, yet whose work sells for as much as $500,000.
The younger Biden is also a sex and drug addict, and careless with guns when he isn’t lying on the forms required to buy one.
Something doesn’t add up.
