Comer promised bombs —and bombs were dropped…
Wednesday morning, 9am, the House Oversight Committee, led by chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY), updated the American public on the investigation into Joe Biden and his family’s influence-peddling scheme; committee members unloaded on the Bidens and the DOJ.
Comer, himself, implicated nine Biden family members involved in the corruption: “Joe Biden’s son. Joe Biden’s brother. Joe Biden’s brother’s wife. Hunter Biden’s girlfriend…Hunter Biden’s ex-wife. Hunter Biden’s current wife. And 3 children of the president’s son and the president’s brother,” the chairman confirmed.
It was also revealed that the Bidens created a “web of over 20 companies” with the help of Hunter Biden’s business partners Rob Walker and James Gilliar — likely in an attempt to launder cash or conceal earnings from the IRS.
“After assuming the vice presidency in 2009, records reveal Hunter Biden and his business associates formed at least 15 companies,” the memo said. Those companies include Lion Hall Group LLC; Owasco P.C.; Robinson Walker, LLC; Skaneateles, LLC; Seneca Global Advisors, LLC; Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC; Rosemont Seneca Principal Investments LLC; Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC; Hudson West III, LLC; Hudson West V, LLC; CEFC Infrastructure Investment (US) and others.
Members of the Oversight Committee continued to stress that the Bidens aren’t in the business of anything —they make nothing; they offer nothing. One logical conclusion is, what the Bidens are selling, is influence.
“Bank records show the Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals’ companies,” a memo released by Oversight prior to the presser said. These payments were received “while Joe Biden served as Vice President and after he left public office.”
“[T]he Biden family used business associates’ companies to receive millions of dollars from foreign companies,” the memo added, saying that the Biden family “received incremental payments over time to different bank accounts.”
“In some instances, Biden associates would receive significant deposits from foreign sources into their bank accounts and then transfer smaller, incremental payments to Biden bank accounts,” the memo said. “These complicated and seemingly unnecessary financial transactions appear to be a concerted effort to conceal the source and total amount received from the foreign companies.”
The committee assured the American people this isn’t the end of the investigation —it’s just the beginning. It’s time for the DOJ to step up and do its job or continue to face criticisms and speculation that the office has become politicized and is covering for the Bidens.
Government Accountability Institute President and best-selling New York Times investigative journalist Peter Schweizer provided a strong road map for Congress’ investigation in his recent books Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win and Profiles in Corruption.
Schweizer outlined what the Oversight Committee revealed today —all roads lead to Joe Biden and many of them run through China.
