Hunter Biden Tinfoil issues

DOJ special counsel tells Congress politics played no role in Hunter Biden investigation

Weiss said testifying was unprecedented during an ongoing investigation, but he wanted to clear up misunderstandings about his authority in the case.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pol ... 488997007/


Special counsel David Weiss, who has been investigating President Biden’s son Hunter for the past five years, undermined Republican conspiracy theories when he told the House Judiciary Committee that no one is interfering with his investigation and that he, alone, makes the decisions about it.

Earlier this year, House Republicans produced an IRS employee who claimed that Biden administration officials had pressured the IRS to back off from the investigation. Weiss made it clear that accusation was wrong. “At no time was I blocked, or otherwise prevented from pursuing charges or taking the steps necessary in the investigation by other United States Attorneys, the Tax Division or anyone else at the Department of Justice,” he told the committee.


Basic facts, unless you wear tinfoil hats...

Saltine was fitted for his some time ago.
As the old saying goes.....If the tinfoil hat fits, wear it!!!!!


Wanna bet he agrees with moronic Rick Santorum,, too.

Gosh, I thought Jordan has going to get to the bottom of all of this nefarious stuff, finally, by getting to put Weiss under oath and the other prosecutors from other jurisdictions under oath...oops...

You know, Salted Crackpot, there are treatments available for MAGA Tourette's Syndrome. You don't need to continue to suffer.

And by the way, you doofus, rule #1 of all prosecutors is the same as rule #1 of Fight Club. You never talk about ongoing investigations. Duh.

You should be happy that Weiss, in asking to be made an SC, is now REQUIRED to write a report on his investigation. And Garland has committed to make said report public and to have Weiss testify before Congress.

TL/DR: Garland and Weiss are the worst conspiratorial cover uppers in the history of the world.

Wasn’t 80% of the case dismissed by the judge? What does a 2011 Deutsche Bank document have to do with anything? Trump said anything before 2014 didn’t count.

Moving the Goal Posts on the Hunter Biden Investigation
The president’s defense keeps changing as new evidence emerges.

by Kimberley A. Strassel, Nov. 2, 2023

The speed at which the White House and press corps are moving the goal posts for what counts as shameful Biden family business is remarkable, though it doesn’t change the facts. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s release of evidence of family payments to Joe Biden are a problem for the White House, no matter the spin.

Mr. Comer has produced images of two checks made out to Joe Biden, both drawn from an account held by his brother James and sister-in-law Sara. Both entangle Joe in his family’s sordid financial dealings and undercut his claims that he knew nothing. It’s a far cry from Candidate Biden’s claim in 2019 that there was an “absolute wall” between himself and the Biden family business.

The committee’s account is as follows: The first check to Joe was written on Sept. 3, 2017, although the money trail begins earlier with his son Hunter. In the first half of 2017, Hunter and business associates negotiated a joint company with CEFC, a Shanghai-based energy company linked to the Chinese government. One email from a Hunter associate that discussed equity stakes suggested 10% of the joint venture be held by Hunter for “the big guy.”

CEFC was asked to commit $10 million in capital. When the money didn’t come, a frustrated Hunter sent a July 30, 2017, WhatsApp message to Raymond Zhao, a CEFC associate. It said he was sitting with his dad, demanded payment and warned: “I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.”

A week later, a Chinese company affiliated with CEFC sent $5 million to a joint venture between Hunter and a CEFC associate. The same day, that joint venture sent $400,000 to an entity controlled by Hunter. Less than a week later, Hunter wired $150,000 from his entity to a company owned by James and Sara Biden. On Aug. 28, 2017, Sara withdrew $50,000 from said company. The same day, she deposited it into a personal bank account that belonged to her and her husband. Prior to this deposit, the balance on that personal account was $46.88. On Sept. 3, she cut a $40,000 check from that account to Joe Biden. Graduates of elementary-school math will note that $40,000 is 10% of $400,000.

The second check to Joe Biden was written on March 1, 2018, again from James and Sara. In 2018 James convinced a hospital operator, Americore Health, to lend him $600,000, which according to a later corporate bankruptcy filing was “based upon representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.” On March 1, 2018, Americore wired $200,000 to James and Sara Biden’s personal account. That same day, James wrote the $200,000 check to Joe.

House Democrats have a ready answer for all this, with records showing an attorney trust account maintained by Joe’s attorneys wired $40,000 to James and Sara in July 2017 and $200,000 to the couple in January 2018. The transfers, the Democratic lawmakers say, were “short-term loans,” and James and Sara’s checks back to Joe were simply repayments and in fact read “loan repayment” on the memo lines. The White House adds that the loans were made when Joe was out of office, and asserts that because the checks merely repay Joe “his own money,” there is no bribery or financial gain.

Maybe, maybe not. Mr. Comer’s committee has asked the White House for records related to the loan—purpose, interest, repayment plan? So far, none have come. The committee is also still receiving records from its subpoenas for certain Hunter and James accounts.

The bigger point is that this destroys the president’s longtime claim that he was walled off from the family business. Even if James’s $40,000 check to Joe was a repayment, that transfer was underwritten by Hunter’s Chinese dealings. It was Hunter’s “work”—taking advantage of his dad’s name—that enabled Joe to be “repaid.”

Similarly, it’s highly likely that Joe’s “loans” were enabling James to engage in business deals. Hunter’s and James’s shenanigans were a headache even when Joe was vice president. Does the White House really expect Americans to believe that Joe didn’t ask for any information as to his brother’s request of nearly a quarter-million dollars, or naive enough to think that float wasn’t in aid of the Biden family cash register?

As House Republicans have dug in, Team Biden’s explanations have shifted. First, Joe had “never spoken” to Hunter about business. Then, the president was “not in business” with his son. Now, as per ranking Oversight Democrat Jamie Raskin, Joe “did not profit from his family members’ business ventures.” The goal posts are now on another field altogether. Yet the evidence—ranging from proof that Joe was on Hunter’s business calls to these latest checks—is that Joe knew about the family cash-in on his name and lent both his presence and his money to that cause.

That’s the line any Republican opponent will go with in the 2024 presidential race, and Democrats had best be honest about Joe’s liabilities.

So now you're worried that Biden family might be getting paid over his position.

What happened to you mocking us for calling out Trump for his financial conflicts, trading his power for money???

That's right, like everything else dealing with Ds&R's, you can't make it to noon without saying something hypocritical.

Or is the problem here that if Joe Biden commits a crime, you and your buds will vote for him because RepublicanVoters think convicted felons and fraudsters are sooper cool, and means the politician is a martyr?

When do we get Durham to open a case on the FBI for daring to look into Joe, OS? That's an Old Salt no-no, remember?

Old Salt's upset that Kush and Trump Junior didn't get a cut.

How much did Kush-y get from the Saudis, again, Old Salt? Billions, no? But that's cool, and not a conflict.

What happened to "who cares, no big deal"??

To use your own BS, Old Salt? So what? That's not illegal. Maybe Joe spent the proceeds to take a private Jet to meet Clarence Thomas on that all-expeses-paid fishing trip.

But sure, Old Salt is REALLY worried about ethics in government. And by "ethics", you mean: Republicans gotta get paid, or it's not ethical.

It's a car rental company in Israel. Don't think loads of Israelis are renting cars right now and there are no tourists at the present time.

Yeah, because Kushner stonewalled and failed to produce requested docs. Hard to get evidence of in-person conversations too.

Plus, you know, Republicans took control of the House in the middle of the investigation. So it's still ongoing but basically quashed.

You willing to give them another 3-4 years like the Hunter investigation?
