Joe Biden regularly met with his son’s foreign clients, particularly those from China and Ukraine,” Schweizer writes.
The Burisma revelations have damaged the US reputation abroad. Sali Berisha, a former prime minster of Albania, tells The Australian it was a “crystal clear conflict of interest because Ukraine was a client state of the US government”. “The son should never have been involved in businesses with Ukraine and government as long as US government was dealing so intensively with Ukraine.”
Trump was relentlessly attacked, baselessly as it turned out, for being a “Russian asset” during his presidency, beholden to Moscow because of alleged videos of him with prostitutes, which ultimately were a fabricated commission of the Clinton 2016 presidential campaign known as the Steele dossier.
It would be ironic if it ended up being Joe Biden who was the one compromised, not by Russia, but Ukraine, to which the US has provided more than $US110bn in aid since February 2022.
“Both the alleged offence, as well as the strength of the evidence, are far more egregious in the case of Biden than for Trump’s phone call,” Abrahms says.
Oh, old boy, you are naughty regurgitating the Australian's cut and pastes from Fox.
Silly bollocks from a silly paki arse bandit.
Adam Creighton is doing exactly what he was paid to do, dear boy: campaign for Rupert. You have no dirt on Biden. Talking to his one remaining son on speakerphone is not grounds for corruption, it's just dumb.
Trying to catch Biden out on the line that he never ever spoke to his son's business partners is hysterical amateur theatrics. Good show.
Joe Biden never ever
profited from his son's business dealings. We know this because, as Wombat below has kindly pointed out, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability spent four months combing through Joe Biden's income, tax and bank records. They released their report last month: nothing.
Now, this does not rule out Sleepy Joe, 80, changing his lifelong behaviour as an elected public official with nearly 60 years in the game and a reputation as being totally straight.
Despite the money he's put away from giving speeches and selling books and the guaranteed pension he'll get as prez, he might think, no. Where's the fun in that?
Sleepy Joe might decide that what he
really wants for the last few years of his life is millions of dollars stashed away in offshore bank accounts. Sure, he'll never be able to buy a luxury yacht or be allowed to walk around with a Rolex (too flashy), but the temptation of having millions of dollars hidden in his attic might just be too much to bear, so we can't rule it out.
But do you know? Until then, we only have the truth: Sleepy Joe's clean. His son Hunter, a grown-up, does his own thing, smoking crack, doing deals, and trying to get by as the black sheep of the family. Unlike other Dear Leaders you don't like mentioning, Hunter's never been employed by his dad. He's totally free to own laptops, get high-paying overseas jobs, and broker deals in America, Chi-na, or wherever he likes.
Americans are like that, you see. They like doing deals and making money. You'll find your Dear Leader's kids are no different, they just normally make their money through dad, which is how he likes it.
Now, Hunter is guilty of smoking crack, being chucked out of the navy, and being busted for having a crack pipe. When the media ramped up and all the crazies started trolling him, Hunter went and got himself a gun. All legit, he applied for a license.
Problem is, the license has all these boxes you have to tick. Are you mad? No. Are you a DV perp? No. Are you a criminal? No. Are you a junkie?
Hunter just went down the list ticking no. And because of that - the laptop, the media, all the hysteria, the Republicans complained about the box he ticked on his gun form. GUILTY.
So Hunter's now a criminal, and he's back in court. He did a deal with the DA, but the Republicans complained again and the judge got tough.
So that's that. This is everything. How do we know? Again, Wombat referred us to the congressional report. Yes, there are exiled Russians and Ukrainian prosecutors Sleepy Joe pi
ssed off as VP who are making all kinds of claims - "the big guy", "dumber than my dog", etc.
But none of these claims were proven where it matters - in Hunter and Sleepy Joe's bank, tax and business records which a Congressional Committee of politically desperate Republicans spent four months scouring, along with a former hotshot prosecutor of white collar crime.
So either the Bidens are smarter than Putin and can make their billions magically disappear, or things are just as they appear: Joe's a cleanskin, Hunter's got his "issues". Being targeted as enemy number one can't help those issues, I guess, so Joe feels for the kid, taking his calls and trying to help him stay positive. He blames himself.
Hunter may feel the same way at times, hence the calls with the business partners, shooting the breeze. Joe never made a cent from those calls, and judging by Hunter's bank account, neither did we. How do we know?
Wombat said. He directed us to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
Wombat's honest, you see. He has
integrity.You?
