Corruption is the talk of Joe Biden

Legendary boxer Joe Louis once said of his opponent: “He can run, but he can’t hide.”

These days, the same can be said of the President of the United States.

At a decisive moment of his tenure, Joe Biden repeatedly refuses to answer questions.

Even textile workers and odd ducks have a White House press buzz.

Why not answer us, they ask to know.

The question answers itself – Biden will not confront the media because he has something to hide.

But as with opponents of Joe Louis, running just won’t work.

Because despite Biden’s efforts, day in and day out, drip drip, his dirty secret is coming out into the open.

With each new evidence, it becomes more certain that he is directly involved in his family’s influence-peddling schemes.

Recent developments also confirm something else – that elections have consequences.

the Republican victory That gave the party control of the House of Representatives is already producing important information that members of Parliament have kept scandalously secret for more than two years.

Even the Department of Justice, presumably, is investigating Hunter Biden Since at least 2018, he has apparently had no interest in hiding key evidence in plain sight.

Count all of this as an example of how divided government works best.

Most importantly, the tentacles do it in the way Made famous by Watergate Follow the money.

Keep in mind that is one Republican subpoena American bank It yielded key details about how a suspected $3 million payment from a Chinese energy company was divided among Biden family members and associates.

Hunter Biden W Jim BidenThe president’s son and brother have the lion’s share.

but Haley BidenJoe’s late son Beau’s widow and Hunter’s mistress took home $35,000, the first time she’s been known to have participated in a windfall that could be as much as $11 million, according to investigators.

In downplaying the year, the GOP representative. James Comer Of Kentucky he said, “It is not clear what services were provided to obtain such an exorbitant amount of money.”

Kummer, the oversight committee’s aggressive chair, has said repeatedly that the investigation is ultimately about Joe Biden and reiterated that point again Thursday.

“The oversight committee is concerned about the national security implications of President Biden’s family receiving millions of dollars from foreign nationals,” Kummer said.

“We will continue to track the money and facts trail to determine whether President Biden has been compromised by his family’s business schemes and if there is a threat to national security.”

In a sign that Kummer had struck a nerve, his comments and the $3 million revelations unnerved both Hunter Biden’s legal team and the White House, each issuing statements suggesting new levels of desperation.

“Hunter Biden, a private citizen with every right to pursue his own business endeavours, has joined several business partners in seeking a joint venture with a legitimate privately owned energy company in China,” his spokesperson said, effectively confirming the payments for the first time publicly. .

“As part of this joint venture, Hunter received his share of the seed money in good faith that he shared with his uncle, James Biden, and Haley Biden, with whom he was working at the time, and shared expenses.”

The claim that the $3 million, which was sent to Biden aide Rob Walker on March 1, 2017, represented “seed money” was mocked by Tony Bobulinski, The former venture partner turned whistleblower.

“It’s very funny,” Bobulinski told me on Friday.

“That money was not seed money for future work. It was part of payments for work Biden did for the Chinese in 2015 and 2016.”

Indeed, Bobulinski has previously said publicly — and told the FBI — that he witnessed Hunter yell at the Chinese official involved in the joint venture that the Bidens were owed $20 million for work they had done over those two years.

The timing distinction is significant because Joe Biden was still vice president in 2015 and 2016.

Also, Bobulinski says he met Joe Biden in May 2017, just months after Joe left the White House, and Biden knew all about the China deal.

Take care of the “big guy”

That same month, another partner wrote an email saying that 10% of the deal was going to the “big guy,” whom Bobulinski had identified as the current boss.

The White House’s reaction to the revelations has been telling.

Unresponsive to Kummer’s objective statement, he has tried to hide behind politics as usual.

Instead of bizarrely attacking the president’s family, Maybe the Republican House The focus should be on working with the president to deliver results for American families on important priorities like cutting costs and strengthening health care,” said an aide.

It was a silly answer and apparently someone with a brain in the White House realized they couldn’t ignore Comer’s accusations completely.

Unfortunately, their second attempt wasn’t much better even though it involved the president himself issuing a no.

According to Fox News, Biden confronted a reporter on Friday on the White House lawn and simply said the GOP report was “incorrect.”

That’s it?

That’s all he has to say about the $3 million payment to his family and suggest he’s in the pocket of China and a threat to national security?

Sorry sir. Sir, but “not true” is not enough.

Not by a long shot.

Biden, of course, is counting on The New York Times and other propaganda media to protect him by denying or downplaying any emerging realities that bring him closer to home.

They did that constantly Since The Post first reported the story About the contents of Hunter’s laptop in October 2020.

But this see-no-evil defense is over and he will not be able to stop the findings of Kummer and others using the subpoena power that comes with being in the majority.

Sooner rather than later, Biden will have to answer questions from serious, well-informed journalists and try to convince the nation that he and his family did nothing wrong.

In America, no one, not even the president, can run and hide from the truth forever.
