China and the Bidens
“According to bank documents we’ve already obtained, we know one company owned by a Biden associate received a $3 million dollar wire from a Chinese energy company two months after Joe Biden left the vice presidency,” Comer said in a March 14 press release. “Soon after, hundreds of thousands of dollars in payouts went to members of the Biden family.” Comer explained that the Oversight Committee will “use bank documents and suspicious activity reports to follow the money trail to determine the extent of the Biden family’s business schemes, if Joe Biden is compromised by these deals, and if there is a national security threat.”

I have reached a level of cynicism that says nothing much will come of this, even if more very suspicious facts are revealed.
That’s just the cash. What about Bitcoin and diamonds?
I’m convinced that the Ukrainian President personally gave Biden $20 million in diamonds when Joe visited. You can hold $20m in diamonds in the palm of your hand.
Can’t you just see in your mind’s eye Joe Biden spreading $20 million in diamonds on the breasts of Dr. Jill Biden?
I have no proof of this, but I know how criminals operate. Also, see the *great* movie, “Inside Man.” Jodi Foster explains all.
I wonder if this story will eventually penetrate both the mainstream media blackout wall and the general low information voter apathy wall. As we’ve seen, those two walls are very thick and difficult to penetrate.
“..nothing much will come of this…”
“Biden”, in particular the DOJ/FBI and “his” media hoplites, will come out swinging ferociously and wildly.
Be prepared for a “Biden” blitz…
“…blitz.”
For example, expect a whole lot more of this:
“Princeton student faces charges in connection with Jan. 6 Capitol riot;
“More than one thousand people have been charged with crimes related to the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and about 140 police officers were assaulted.”—

Yes, Hunter was working the CCP for $$$ and sharing it with the rest of the extended family, but Joe knew nothing about it! Why, Joe didn’t even know when Hunter flew along on AF1 to China!
And you know who didn’t know even more than Joe didn’t know? Barack Obama, that’s who!

Neo is correct, nothing will happen. Big investigation so prior to 2024, the left can say, “been investigated, nothing there”.
Along the lines of “voter fraud has been debunked by judges”
My problem is paying out a politician after they left office (and let’s be clear, nobody in April 2017 thought Biden would be President in the future) doesn’t make a lot of sense. Sure, paying them to be a lobbyist, but then you’ll need a lot more corruption investigations if you go down that road. The previous Democrat Vice President prior to Biden is on the board of directors of the World Economic Forum.
But impeach Trump for a phone conversation.
Can’t you just see in your mind’s eye Joe Biden spreading $20 million in diamonds on the breasts of Dr. Jill Biden?
Ha. Here’s a still from the 1924 movie “Greed.” Zasu Pitts getting ready to roll around in a bed filled with gold coins.

You could literally have Biden on video bragging about how he did what someone was paying his family to do using the power of the office of The United States government, and no one would care.
You have it backwards, Leland. He was being paid for what he had done 2009-2017. That is how it is usually done, a person with power in the government is paid after giving the bribers what they want with favored “business deals” and ridiculously compensated speeches. Janet Yellen was paid over 7 million dollars after her term as Fed Chairman was over just give a handful of speeches by the banks she was regulating. It is all legal, and stinks like a sewer.
Sure, paying them to be a lobbyist, but then you’ll need a lot more corruption investigations if you go down that road.
Yes, and? But this is an argument for not pulling over the guy who goes 70 in a school zone unless you pull over everyone who goes 26 in a school zone.
nobody in April 2017 thought Biden would be President in the future
Vice-Presidents being elected President in their own right later has happened a little over 20% of the time, so I don’t think it’s at all true that “nobody” thought Biden would be President in the future. Biden first publicly mentioned his 2020 candidacy in 2016.
Biden is the Manchurian candidate.
Oh, something will come of it. Comer will pay.
ala that film babylon, that oddly made no impression at the oscars,
I am with you Neo, nothing will happen. Meanwhile Prosecutors are going after Trump over Stormy Daniels. She is meeting with them. So I am to believe her over Hunter and Joe?
Anyone here feeling a little jittery over the financial mess?
Heard several “experts” say that the Fed needs to stop raising interest rates to save the banks, and not to worry about inflation. You and I do worry about inflation, they don’t
Keep up the good work, Congressman Comer.
Have written often probably here and elsewhere
Name some action Sundowner has done against China.
Day 1 he made it you couldn’t say the virus was from China, and didn’t end there on pro China actions.
Cornhead…No. Just NO.
I don’t want that in my mind’s eye & I’m not letting it in.
I can see how he might get impeached, just barely – but the chances of a conviction in the Senate? How is that going to happen – even if Fetterman is still in absentia? The evidence would have to be pretty spectacularly damning and I don’t see that being likely the case. It’s more likely to just be simple ‘Pay-to-play’ greed on a grand scale.
I’m not expecting Biden to go down a la Nixon in Watergate. However, it marks a further erosion in Biden’s credibility and support.
How does one go bankrupt?
Slowly, then suddenly.
Yancey, they are all corrupt, criminals don’t say “well, you earned your pay”. What would Biden do if he didn’t get paid, complain to the FBI? Oh wait, maybe I see your point.
Frederick, your analogy misses the point. Do you expect the Republicans who also get well paying lobbying jobs after they leave Congress to make it criminal to do so, because they can get the big guy? Maybe Trump, but they don’t consider Trump to be like them.
This was 2017. They still thought they would get Trump impeached on the Russian Hoax, take out Pence for being part of the “Russian collusion”, and install Hillary as President.
The rule of law in America has been politically weaponized to a degree that prior generations could not even imagine.
@Leland:Frederick, your analogy misses the point. Do you expect the Republicans who also get well paying lobbying jobs after they leave Congress to make it criminal to do so,
I have no idea what comment you think you are responding to but it’s not one of mine. You and I were talking about corruption investigations, not making lobbying illegal. Lobbying and corruption are not the same, and a call for investigating egregious lobbying as indicating possible corruption is not the same as calling for lobbying to be made criminal.
What’s the trigger for an investigation? You don’t throw down spike strips to get a guy going 26 in a 25, you probably don’t even pull him over. The guy who’s going 70 in a 25 you probably should look into, check for drugs, check to see if the car’s stolen or he’s fleeing some other scene, and has committed some criminal offense. It’s not a call to make speeding a criminal offense.
Not in WA state you don’t; thank you Puget Sound democrats. Not Globetrotters by any means.
More shameless, despicable behavior by Democratic psychopaths:

The odds of winning the Powerball lottery exceed the odds of any of the Bidens being brought to justice.
And yet, people DO win…
Some people….
And in winning, all too often set themselves up for destruction…
(So maybe it’s not the best analogy.)
