Two U.S. House committees will vote on January 10 on a resolution to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress. In December, Biden refused to appear at a closed-door hearing and answer questions pertinent to the House’s impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.
Yesterday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and House Judiciary Committee released their resolution and report on Biden’s ignoring two subpoenas.
The report not only details the legal justification for holding him in contempt, but also young Biden’s influence-peddling with his old man on behalf of people who paid the Boy Wonder a fortune precisely for influence. It also described the testimony of two whistleblowers who said the Department of Justice interfered with their investigation of the drug-addled pervert.
The Report
Noting that Biden refused to appear on December 13, the two committees explained the purpose of the impeachment inquiry: to nail Biden Sr.’s octogenarian hide to the wall.
The younger Biden’s “testimony is a critical” part of the inquiry to determine whether his father did the following:
(1) took any official action or effected any change in government policy because of money or other things of value provided to himself or his family; (2) abused his office of public trust by providing foreign interests with access to him and his office in exchange for payments to his family or him; or (3) abused his office of public trust by knowingly participating in a scheme to enrich himself or his family by giving foreign interests the impression that they would receive access to him and his office in exchange for payments to his family or him.
The inquiry began after the whistleblowers spilled the beans and said the “DOJ had impeded, delayed, and obstructed the criminal investigation” of Hunter Biden, the report says.
The Committee on Oversight subpoenaed Hunter on November 8. Judiciary did likewise the next day. Instead of appearing, Biden held a news conference at the U.S. Capitol.
Thus, the January 10 contempt vote.
Bribery, Influence Peddling
The report helpfully reprises Joe Biden’s enthusiastic participation in his son’s business ventures, with details about Devon Archer’s testimony.
A business associate of Hunter Biden, Archer told the committee that Biden Sr. was “the Brand” that sent “‘signals’ of power, access, and influence to enrich the Biden family from foreign sources while he served as vice president,” the report says:
Mr. Archer testified that Mr. Biden placed his father on speaker phone during meetings with business associates approximately “20 times.” Importantly, Mr. Archer detailed specific instances of then-Vice President Biden’s involvement in his family’s foreign business entanglements in 2014 and 2015.
Mr. Archer testified that then-Vice President Biden dined with foreign individuals from countries such as Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan who conducted business with Mr. Biden. Specifically, in February 2014, then-Vice President Biden dined at Café Milano with oligarchs from Russia and Kazakhstan who funneled millions of dollars to Hunter Biden and his business Associates. Then-Vice President Biden dined with other foreign business associates of Mr. Biden, including Ukrainian Burisma executive Vadym Pozharsky, at Café Milano in April 2015. At the time, Burisma was under investigation by Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin for corruption. In 2015, then-Vice President Biden hosted Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer, and other business associates at the official residence of the Vice President. According to Mr. Archer, the topic of discussion was filling the top seat at the United Nations.40 The Kazakhstani government official who wanted the U.N. position attended both dinners at Café Milano with then-Vice President Biden.
Then-Vice President Biden famously forced Ukraine to fire Shokin or lose $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees.
The report also noted that Hunter Biden once threatened a Chinese businessman with his father. “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” the crack-smoking lad warned.
The report details the Biden Mafia’s putative deal with CEFC China Energy. That deal involved Tony Bobulinski, the Biden associate who revealed that Joe Biden was the “Big Guy” who would walk off with 10 percent of the ill-gotten booty:
On May 13, 2017, James Gilliar, one of Mr. Biden’s business associates, emailed another associate, Tony Bobulinski, and carbon copied Mr. Biden and a third associate named Rob Walker, about “renumeration packages” for six individuals involved in a deal with CEFC. The email listed an equity split in the new business venture that includes “10 held by H for the big guy?” Although DOJ prosecutors prohibited IRS and FBI investigators from pursuing the identity of “the big guy” during the criminal investigation of Mr. Biden, Mr. Bobulinski has publicly confirmed that not only is the email authentic, but also that “the big guy” refers to now-President Biden. A week later, on May 20, 2017, Mr. Gilliar told Mr. Bobulinski in a WhatsApp message, “Don’t mention Joe being involved [in the CEFC deal], it’s only when u are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid[.]”
After easily knocking down Biden’s “generalized and amorphous bases for his noncompliance with the Committees’ subpoenas,” the Committee explained that he had “no valid reason” for skipping the hearing, and that the world’s most famous gun-wielding sex and drug fiend broke the law.
