Rep. James Comer: "At Least a Dozen" Biden Family Members Will Be Exposed As Taking Foreign Money

There is a very old and very stupid method that corrupt families use to hide ill-gotten money. The main criminal just doesn't keep any of the money (or property bought with it) in his own name. He "gives" it all to his family members. Or has other gangsters give it to his family members. The government can't attempt to recover the money or property from Aunt Bertha because Aunt Bertha committed no crimes. (At least, they'd have to prove the transaction was a straw transaction, which is tricky, as there's no actual papers signed.)

But of course the criminal still really owns all the money and property, and can call it in from his family members when he needs it.

Biden can't take foreign money. Not without invoking the Foreign Agent Registration Act and not without having to declare it as income. If he took foreign money openly, he would have two choices. He could either register as a foreign agent, effectively killing his political career and thus his ability to collect foreign money in the first place, or he could illegally ignore his duty to register under FARA, running the risk of being prosecuted.

Now, given that he's a Democrat, the risk of being prosecuted for a FARA violation is very low, and of course the "home field" advantage of being a Democrat almost guarantees an acquittal even if prosecuted. But failing to divulge the foreign money in income tax filings? The IRS doesn't play.

So what Biden has done is simply designate his family members as the Holders In Name Only of the money. Instead of giving $50,000 per month to Joe Biden, just give it to Hunter. Instead of giving $75,000 to Joe Biden, just give it to Natalie. Or whoever.

Joe will "borrow" it from them if he needs it later. "Borrow." Wink, wink.

The Biden Crime Family needs to be RICO'd.

This is money laundering. This is tax evasion.

This is a racketeer-influenced and criminal organization.

Even more relatives of President Biden -- or at least a dozen in all -- will be exposed for having received money from foreign entities, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee said Sunday.
"There's not going to be anybody left for a Christmas picture if the [Department of Justice] did their job and went in there and indicted everyone that has any type of fingerprints involved in this influence-peddling scheme," said Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) to Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" show.
"I mean, it's the entire family," Comer said. "And there isn't a single one of those family members that had the ability to do anything to influence foreign policy other than the big guy, Joe Biden."
Comer said the number of implicated Biden family members will jump from 9 to at least 12, with the president's son Hunter and brother Frank's foreign dealings just the tip of the iceberg.
He said his oversight committee is still reviewing bank records and "suspicious activity reports" that indicate members of the first family are benefiting from dealing with foreign entities through limited liability companies that seek to shield identities.
"Through our informants and through our research over the past year and through other investigative reporting, we thought there were around a dozen of these LLCs that were created by Biden family members to disguise or launder where the source of the revenue was coming from," Comer said.
"But there are many more LLCs. There are many more Biden members ... and many more countries that were involved."
Comer said the business dealings involve countries more unsavory than communist China.
"I will say this: China was probably the most reputable country that the Biden family was dealing with," he said.
The congressman even suggested that Biden family members may have broken the law by acting as "foreign agents" while not registering as lobbyists to do so.

There you go.

Even cvcky Andrew McCarthy writes that Biden's corruption is enough to "disqualify him from office," which I think is a cvcked-out way to say "impeachable offenses."

He talks tough, but, as you'll see, as usual, this cvck just wants us to talk and write and read about the crimes, not actually prosecute the crimes.

A little advice to Republicans overseeing the Biden investigations: Don't worry if he's a criminal. It's bad enough to be corrupt.
...
Comer suggests that the only rational explanation for [donations from foreign regimes to Biden family members] is that foreign regimes, including such hostile ones as Communist China, were buying Biden's political influence.
This would be shocking if proved.
When the Framers gave Congress the power to remove a president from office by inserting impeachment clauses in the Constitution, nothing more animated them than fear of foreign corruption. A president whose influence and authority had been purchased through shady foreign deals, and who could thus be expected to subordinate American interests to those of anti-American powers, could profoundly damage the United States.
...
With the Bidens, of course, there is a lot more than mere potential to be worried about. They undeniably reaped millions of dollars, mainly through obscure entities patently set up to make the transfers hard to trace, apparently without providing discernible value in goods or services to justify the breadth of the payments.
It looks like sheer influence peddling. We are entitled to presume that it is unless and until an (unlikely) innocent explanation is posited.
Wait a minute, don't they get a presumption of innocence? No, they don't. This is a congressional inquiry, not a criminal case.
If foreign payments are proved, we're entitled to presume Biden is compromised for the same reason the government may deny a security clearance out of well-founded fear of potential corruption.
In a criminal trial, a defendant is presumed innocent because the government seeks to convict him and remove his right to liberty.
But political power is a privilege, not a right. Joe Biden has been trusted to wield the awesome powers of the presidency. There's no presumption of entitlement to a privilege.
If he and his family cashed in on his political influence, particularly with hostile foreign powers, and if they covered their tracks with labyrinthine money trails and false accusations of "Russian disinformation," we're entitled to presume they did so to the detriment of the nation.
That is where Comer needs to keep his focus. Instead, he is intimating that the Justice Department has been derelict in that it has not "indicted everyone who has any type of fingerprints involved in this influence-peddling scheme."
That's foolish. The crimes Comer seems to be hinting at may not have been committed. Money laundering, for example, is difficult to prove unless one can show the money was the proceeds of criminal activity before assets started being moved around.

Of course McCarthy has to cvck out. "We can't prosecute! It would be so mean!"

They're prosecuting the right for everything, but how dare the right even think about returning that particular favor!

He will allow that taking bribes from foreign regimes hostile to Americans may be "unsavory."

Yes, it is unsavory to take money from apparatchiks of the Chinese Communist Party, from corrupt Ukrainian government cronies, and from Russians in strongman Vladimir Putin's circle -- among many dubious foreigners with whom the Bidens have done business.
But it is not illegal per se to do business with such sources; therefore, the money taken from them for such vague services as, say, "consulting" may technically be lawful income, even if it stinks to high heaven.
If the revenue was booked accurately -- and the Bidens can afford good lawyers and accountants -- there may be no major tax violations (at least beyond the Hunter tax offenses that have been widely reported).
If the Bidens took the money to do the bidding of their foreign "partners," they could be guilty of acting as foreign agents without registering as such with the government (under FARA, the Foreign Agents Registration Act).
But FARA felonies are rare and notoriously tough to prove.

Oh, would it?

Notice that McCarthy starts with a grabby, conservative-sounding headline to get traffic, but then, throughout the piece, takes it back little by little.

So he gets the traffic -- he makes sure that he benefits financially -- but also makes sure he does his daily duty of undermining the conservative cause.

Never trust people who's job it is to write stupid, meaningless articles and critiques who tell you that the most important action we can take -- and the only action we can ethically take -- is to read their stupid, meaningless articles and critiques.

They might just have a conflict-of-interest on that point. They might just be "talking their book." They might just be financially invested in this claim.

They might just be grifters.

I'm so f****** tired of these people. They are traitors; they are infiltrators; they are the Defeat Mechanism liberals have built into the Conservative Movement.

Comer also wants to know what position John Kerry has with the government. Biden has been refusing to say.

House Committee on Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) on Tuesday issued a final letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken demanding all documents and information related to Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry’s role within the Biden Administration. Since 2021, Republicans have questioned what duties and responsibilities Kerry actually holds. On three separate occasions, Comer has requested Blinken provide transparency about Kerry's role, but those requests have been ignored. Blinken's failure to provide the requested information has caused Comer to threaten a subpoena.

In case you missed it, which I'm sure you didn't, the decrepit, Basement-Hiding, galloping-dementia-suffering credibly accused r@pist Joe Biden announced he's running for reelection.

He said, and I quote, "I'm running on the January 6th hoax, "MAGA extremists," and bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum."

Obviously he's not running on his record. Just on CNN's video highlights from 2020-2023.

Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours.

That’s why I’m running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job. https://t.co/V9Mzpw8Sqy pic.twitter.com/Y4NXR6B8ly

It's quite sensible from his perspective. Extraordinary lengths were taken to put Biden in office and keep control of the Senate in 2022. What that means is he can't be purged against his will. Not without the whole rickety structure collapsing.

Speaking of which, in some jurisdictions, you don't actually have to serve papers - you just have to show a judge that you made best efforts to serve the papers, but if the target is in a guarded fortress and is refusing to come out, you don't actually have to physically serve them.

Not crickets at all. This has been discussed here repeatedly.

It was all an op. This we know with 100% certainty. The entire day was an op. All that had to happen was for Trump to pardon a Ray Epps and then that Ray Epps would go murder a judge, and it would be tied directly to Trump's pardon.

Heck, the dangerous insurgent that was standing right next to Ashli Babbit only got a few months probation. And John Sullivan (JADEN X!!!) didn't get sh*t, and he was in there on the other side, helpfully filming the event that he knew would occur.

Anyone ever find the person who planted pipe bombs in the building with Karmella? Nope. That was forgotten about. Poof. Like it never happened. Same as the Georgia Guidestones being bombed (remember that?).

Same would have happened with Epps after he offed the judge after a pardon.

But that is a total BS cop-out now. He's been through 2 impeachments for phony claims (that didn't stop them), facing chages in NY and GA over imaginary crimes (that's not stopping them), and there is still the rape case the judge is assisting on to assure a guilty verdict.

And so you are back to the problem you had in 2000: what criteria do you use to vote? Do you have one issue, to vote for or against? Do you have a philosophy you cleave to to make a decision? Do you decide on the impression of the candidate or party as a whole you got from people who turned out to actually hate you and conspire to lie to you?

Weighty problem. Of course you could decline to vote entirely, but then you have to justify that as well. Is it a protest, or a surrender to let others chose fore you?

Dave Smith might be running for the LP. He thinks Trump is a war criminal, but I suspect he is from New Jersey.

Why Is biden Running Again?

Because the whole point of biden is to use his living carcass to install the even more un-electable kamala harris.

So, because biden hasn't died yet, they need to use biden's semi-living carcass to steal another election, and THEN they will indeed install their younger and blacker and female Puppet into the White House.

I mean, wasn't that what was said after 2020. The short answer to why Biden is running again is because he can. There are no other machinations. He can do it and they know he'll win. Why bother trying to go through all the motions when they can just sit back for 3-4 years until the next time they'll need a show primary.

Back in his "you're fired" TV show days he came across as a tough guy, but as POTUS, he never delivered.

If he is the candidate, Biden will never show his face and the entire campaign will be TV ads and the kneeling and sucking dick actions of the network media. The censorship on the web will be Stalin-level.

They will beat the drum so loud about Trump the criminal, the rapist, the misogynist, the guy against people being able to love one another, that the suburban women and youth vote will roll like a tsunami.

Well you were just fine with it until no court would touch the 2020 election "results". All those schadenboners and "so much winning". Trump never said "trust the plan" that was the qanon dirtbags and the assholes who accused people of wanting prosecutions of being impatient, and Veruca Salt, and "not trusting President, read his book, you mentally ill pantshitter".
Turns out Horowitz, Huber, Rosenstein, Barr and Durham were absolutely working against the country, and that we should hage gone to DC way before JaySix, but no, we were told, "Veruca he's got it, relax".
No you did not name call, but nobody really stopped it until it was obviously "over" for the winning. But we all celebrated on election night until the shutdowns stopped the landslide under a cloak of boarded windows, tossed out poll watchers, and a water main break. A Georgia pol had an aide blown up on the freeway, and people were put in their places.

330 To follow up on my previous remark, Trump is going to have an issue in the primaries with voters like Ace (representing a sizeable faction of primary voting Republicans I think).

The problem is, if we are evaluating who can bring the most pain to our enemies, Trump now has a record to be held to. Sure he can talk about who betrayed him, how deep the swamp is, etc., but it's all an admission of ignorance, at best.

DeSantis, of course, also has a record, but not a federal one. It's a big difference. He can more easily make Trumpian promises about reforming Washington. Doesn't mean it will happen of course, just that these promises will sell more easily - "the other guy couldn't get it done for whatever reason, let me take a shot at it" is actually a pretty good primary platform.

347 I'm going to argue anyone running for president, at this stage of our collapse is delusional if they think it will be a fair and honest election. Argue any candidate you want, the winner has already been selected and the charade known as an election will merely take place in order to give a veneer of respectability to the process.

And no matter who the candidate is, if they're not acknowledging this reality, they're in on it.

Only one of those sides that has seen the video wants it released.

Nah.

Ace had always been an uncomfortable Trump supporter through his presidency. He put it aside for those four years because he thought Trump was better than McConnell and the Democrats, and there was no where else to go.

Well, now there's a potential other place to go, and Ace is going there. It makes perfect sense. It's 4+ years of buried frustration against Trump coming out. I don't agree, but it's his house and it's been obvious for a while that Ace's relationship with Trump fandom was...not that solid.

I do look for actions and so far DeSantis has not disappointed. It will be a very sad day for me when he does.

I'm not anti desantis even. I don't know if he's got legs or not. I'm curious to see how that goes frankly. I think there are some legit criticism of Trump which I've made myself. There's a lot of lame ass criticisms, which frankly help Trump more than hurt him. He's too old, he's got a high neg based upon four years of utter horseshit all out attacks, and because he's a germophobe he trusted in Fauci and the experts too much and he's going to be wearing the vax. That said, to imply that he's secretly a leftist plant, is teenage emo weird shit. Look at what he's been through. Two impeachments, panty drawer raid an now more criminal stuff. No, they hate his guts and would kill him if they could get away with it. Doesn't mean he'll win. No, they try and kill him if he does. BUt he won't. Nobody the deepstate hates will ever win again.

Is that what's going on here? Trump is "more libertrarain," meaning more liberal, and that's why you support him?

Hey remember when DeSantis opened up Florida and Trump called him on the phone and told him to shut back down?

Boy that Trump really, really meant it when he said "Open the country back up" on Twitter, huh?

Applause lines and bullshit, meanwhile he's calling governors and telling them to stay shut down.

Because he will bring destruction of DC. There will be so much chaos, fighting--words and actual-- and so much confusion, the states will have to break free from DC. Because they hate Trump so very very much they will fight everything he does--even the leftist bullshit he's dabbling with now.

All other candidates put us back in the matrix. Especially Ron as it appears he's gunning for "Trump without the drama and gets stuff done."

Trump went to DC thinking bureaucrats would do the same . Even the best would do , studies, focus groups and the shelve the order. The craven, venal power hungry bureaucrats and politicians would fight any change because it threatened their graft and corruption. Trump should have walked in saying you're fired to every nob city servant, but his ego said I can do it easy

Simms is the dumbest sonofabitch to occupy a broadcast booth in my adult lifetime. There's going to be a lot of banal filler in sports broadcasting. But Simms is likely retarded. Everything he says is dumb, and we are dumber for hearing it. I assume he wears a helmet right up until the green light comes on, as a matter of personal safety and to keep him from biting the sound men.

478 I get paid over $85 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 12,000 bucks a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless.

479 "RICO'd" - The FBI functions, in its entirety, as the D Party's Gestapo. The DOJ is even more politically partisan.

Who is going to investigate, who is going to prosecute, any Biden - or any prominent D at all?

The FBI opens investigations of D's for the sole purpose of covering up their crimes. They gather all the evidence (like the laptop), put it in evidence lockers and lock the doors. For years. When Congress asks about these "investigations", the reply is that they can't comment on "ongoing investigations".

THE INVESTIGATION IS THE COVER-UP.

Go ahead, Comer, get your Strongly-Worded Letter sent so we can all get ready for Joe's triumphal "re-election" with 90 million ballots.
