House Probe Concludes That Biden Committed Impeachable Offenses By Using Government Power to Enrich His Family

And himself. When mafia dons direct payments to be made to their family members instead of themselves, they're not just being generous. That's their money and everyone knows it; they just can't admit its theirs because they'd be arrested if they did.

The Republican-led House committees leading the impeachment probe into Joe Biden concluded Monday the president engaged in impeachable conduct by helping to enrich his family with millions of dollars in business schemes that traded on his name and then defrauded voters by lying to cover up the scandal.
The House Oversight, Ways and Means and Judiciary Committees said they believe the evidence from their nine-month investigation establishes that Biden abused his office and violated his oaths under the Constitution, according to the 291-page report reviewed by Just the News.
"First and foremost, overwhelming evidence demonstrates that President Biden participated in a conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family," the committee's concluded in the the report released the day Biden was to be honored at the opening of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
"Among other aspects of this conspiracy, the Biden family and their business associates received tens of millions of dollars from foreign interests by leading those interests to believe that such payments would provide them access to and influence with President Biden," the executive summary added.

The report puts a finishing touch on a scandal that began in 2019 during the advent of the last presidential election, but it is unlikely to result in a formal impeachment since Biden has stepped down and handed over the reins of the Democratic Party to his vice president, Kamala Harris.
The committee cited evidence that Biden "actively participated" in an influence-peddling conspiracy by attending dinners with his family's foreign associates and speaking to them over the phone. These interactions were documented by email evidence and testimony from several of Hunter Biden's ex-business partners, including Devon Archer and Jason Galanis.
The committees also said evidence shows Hunter Biden used his father's official position as vice president to "garner favorable outcomes in foreign business dealings and legal proceedings."
Beyond Biden's conduct as vice president, the report argued the Justice Department during his presidency deviated from normal practices in order to provide favorable treatment to Hunter Biden, throwing up roadblocks in the investigation and preventing attorneys from pursuing certain avenues of inquiry, as two IRS whistleblowers testified to the House Ways and Means Committee.
The president also engaged in a coverup himself by lying about his and his family's conduct, the report alleged.
"President Joe Biden conspired to commit influence peddling and grift," the committees wrote. "In doing so, he abused his office and, by repeatedly lying about his abuse of office, has defrauded the United States to enrich his family."

Here are the most important findings of the impeachment investigation:
Biden family received more than $27 million from foreign sources
The committee's investigation found Hunter Biden and other family members received over $27 million from foreign sources. These funds were often obscured in "shell companies" to hide their true origins, the committee says. Some of the funds sent from China, for example, ended up directly in Joe Biden's bank account.
As part of the $27 million, Hunter Biden received significant compensation from several foreign ventures and positions.
For example, his role on the board of directors of the embattled Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, whose owner Mykola Zlochevksy was facing corruption allegations in Ukraine. Biden received a $1 million a year salary for his role on the board.
After receiving that position he would use his influence in Washington, D.C. to help organize a public relations campaign for the company and work to shut down the corruption investigation into Zlochevsky, even meeting personally with State Department officials.
In another instance, Hunter Biden received a $5 million loan in 2017 from entities connected to the energy firm CEFC China Energy. Just the News reported in 2022 that Hunter Biden had received this $5 million "interest free," forgivable loan. Emails from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop showed that the loan was intended to benefit the Biden family, referred to as the "BD family."

However, the report admits it cannot establish a "clear quid pro quo" linking the payments to Biden family members to specific actions taken by Biden in exchange for those payments. The report argues, however, that this kind of clear quid pro quo is unnecessary for impeachment -- the Democrats said so when they impeached Trump.

President Biden's participation in this conspiracy to enrich his family constitutes impeachable conduct. By monetizing the Vice Presidency for his family's benefit, he abused his office of public trust, placing the welfare of his family ahead of the welfare of the United States. He also put foreign interests ahead of the interests of the American people. Indeed, precedent set by House Democrats in 2019 in their impeachment of President Donald J. Trump establishes that "abuse of office," defined as the exercise of "official power to obtain an improper personal benefit, while ignoring or injuring the national interest," is an impeachable offense.

Because party over everything. Biden's been removed from power effectively. The successful removal of a D president would be a massive black mark on the party overall, the first and only president actually removed from power through impeachment and conviction.

That's a bad news cycle. They don't want bad news cycles.

Just ignore the report, call it partisan, and talk about how Kamala is going to undo the Biden years that she had nothing to do with and how the Biden years were better than the Trump years.

92 Haven't been to Chicago in many years. Had a nice auntie who taught at Rockford and DeKalb, she would fetch us in Iowa now and then and make the drive to the Windy city.

People who didn't live through it will never understand the Cold War. There was a very public rivalry between competing systems. The soviets were convinced their symphony orchestras and space program and everything about the Communist life was superior to the West and free markets.

My auntie was kind of a micro-cosm of this. Liberal (and Democrat) as hell, but a proponent of fine literature, movies, plays, museums, symphony and orchestra. And Cubs games, and places of historical note. She took us everywhere, fine restaurants and the rest of it.

I knew I was in the big city, because the skyscrapers went to the sky, and the manhole covers were emitting steam, just like in the movies! I kept a weather eye out for Karl Malden and guys like that.

I think they're obsessed with news cycles and coming out on top. The removal of Biden from the nomination was a massive anomaly in how Democrats work, pulling back the curtain of the fiction they push out and revealing that Biden was actually not popular. As soon as he gave up, they pulled that curtain right back up.

If they were intent on getting rid of Biden from the actual presidency, they'd have done it by now. They reportedly threatened him with the 25th at the beginning of July. 6 weeks later, he's still around. He's a figurehead. Everyone knows it.

Besides, Kamala as candidate has the "help me break the glass ceiling" part of her narrative. That goes away if she's actually president.

You do not hang 136 years worth of felony charges around someone neck to punk out with a paltry 1-4 sentence.

He'll get somewhere between 7.5 to 13 years and if they are really feeling spice, they will throw the book at him and give him 136 years.

204 The House has oversight responsibilities and this is an appropriate use of that power. It would be negligent to do otherwise in view of the fairly substantial evidence. Given this was an abuse of office and official power in which there is a fairly clear quid pro quo, and the VP has no specific immunity from criminal behavior, it will be interesting to see where this goes. Politically it is an albatross to be hung around the neck of Biden Harris as a sign of their corruption. Some AG, could potentially wind this into a federal corruption issue and therefore have standing. It will offset the unfair prosecution of Trump, which makes him wildly popular every time Democrats pursue it. There are actually receipts for the bribes and the official acts are clearly connected in timing and in Biden’s own words.

@JoeM, the gasoline comes from the closest, cheapest refinery. It's been at least 50 years since service stations were tied to a particular refiner. The EPA strictly regulates the components of your local gasoline, so they are all the same, with one exception: the additives. Each brand makes its own additives and mixes them in the tank, or maybe in the truck that's delivering if they're delivering to multiple stations of the same brand.

And upstream, with very few exceptions, the refineries source their mix of crude oils on the open market. It's been at least 50 years, again, since refineries were tied to a crude producer. They usually use a blend of crude oils anyway, optimized for price and gasoline yield. The exception may be where there is a specific long-term contract, like Alaskan crude for Chevron. Citgo (later Lyondell-Citgo) has a contract with Venezuela where they buy a fixed volume of Venezuelan crude. PdVSA, the Ven national oil company, bought Citgo to lock in that contract

When Pelosi heard about Trump’s phone call to Ukraine sniffing around for Democrat corruption, she launched an impeachment the next week

When Republicans have mountains of evidence of actual crimes, they pump out a report 2 years later on a guy that isn’t running for re-election

Don’t get me wrong, I want as much transparency and evidence as possible

303 Comparing Harris’ momentum to Obama’s in 2008, this is different and more intense. The stakes are greater now. McCain was a conservative and a very decent person. The symbolism of America having a Black president was great. The Harris candidacy is much less about her being a woman or Black than it is about having a competent, smart, honest, capable person as president. Either Harris wins or we go into 50 years of the dark ages.

I'm gratified how little "first woman president," or "first Black/Indian woman president" identity play is being emphasized. The anti-veteran sentiment towards Walz has been appalling!

I am looking forward to Tim Walt’s speech. His folksy charm and Nebraska connection have been great for the campaign.

The rightwing nutters have also pulled out the 'Harris is a drunk' card amongst other unfounded slurs. As JVL predicted, the mud pit is here. Joe is too astute to shiv the Harris campaign. It would invalidate his sacrifice and make a mockery of his legacy.

Let’s not conflate the Palestinian protesters with Democrats. Trump will, like he ascribes Minnesota BLM protests to Walz even though he was president.

Today's impeachment report by @HouseGOP confirms that DC US Attorney Matthew Graves refused to partner with Special Counsel David Weiss to charge Hunter Biden with tax evasion.

Joe Biden appointed Graves in November 2021. He has since spent most of his time rounding up J6ers, promising to bring the total caseload to 2,000.

His office continues to prosecute J6ers, announcing new arrests on a weekly basis.

But there is more. Graves' wife, Fatima Goss Graves, runs a $100 million radical leftwing nonprofit in DC. She currently is leading the fight to demand Clarence Thomas' resignation and expand the court.

She has visited the Biden White House at least 40 times since her husband became DC US attorney.

Fatima Goss Graves visited the White House at least three times in March 2022--at the same time her husband was in communication with Weiss about Hunter Biden tax investigation.

She attended events with Biden--including an event three days before her Matthew Graves declined to partner with Weiss.

(FWIW the search option for all WH visitors logs is gone)

Any way, the fact that the Dems are staging rallies marketed as "Puppet Show + Harris/Walz", in places as solid blue as exist on the planet, given they're having to hang black curtains to hide the empty seats, and the audience is leaving after the Puppet Show, tells me their internal polls bite the big one.

The Dems tried running a rally without the Puppet Show and they drew more people in the press section than in the audience. There were so few people in the audience that somebody actually counted all of them and came up with 129. Remember there are ads where the Dems offer to pay for air fares and hotel rooms if you'll attend a Harris/Walz rally.

The PUPPET SHOW + Kamala/Walz rallies don't look so good without the PUPPET SHOW, do they?

Politico: Gov. Josh Shapiro said that ‘antisemitism played absolutely no role’ in Harris' VP choice
The Pennsylvania governor said Trump is "the least credible person" on antisemitism. Holly Otterbein,
08/19/2024, 10:27am

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Monday that “antisemitism played absolutely no role” in Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision to not pick him as her running mate.

Former President Donald Trump said at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Saturday that Harris “turned him down because he’s Jewish.”

Shapiro, who was widely considered to be a front-runner for the VP pick, pushed back on Trump's remarks to reporters after delivering a speech to his home state’s presidential delegation breakfast on Monday.

“First off, Donald Trump is the least credible person to listen to when it comes to hate and bigotry and certainly antisemitism," he said. "I mean, remember, this was the guy after Charlottesville, when folks were walking around with Tiki torches saying 'Jews will not replace us,' who literally said, 'There are good people on both sides.'”

The whole "but Trump" thing is so flaccid this time.

We have a Trump administration in the past. He didn't destroy the world. He didn't start WWIII. Russia didn't invade Ukraine. He didn't jail his opponents. He did walk away from power on schedule when he "lost" his election. He did obey every single judicial order imposed upon him.

He was...a kind of generic Republican president. And then the entire world called him racist because he wanted to stop immigration from China after they released a virus that killed 0.15% of PA residents even though it was the most deadly pandemic in world history. Worse than the black plague.

Because they know as well as we do their electorate is ridiculously dumb. They can say anything without worry because their voters are so dang stupid, they don’t know any better.
