On his way out of the White House, former President Joe Biden pardoned five family members not named Hunter.
All five of them – brother James and wife Sarah; sister Valerie and husband John; The Frank brothers, like the previously pardoned hunters, were involved in various influence-spreading schemes. It was Joe Biden's final act of loyalty to his family's co-conspirators.
One very disappointed man attended drill down This week's podcast – Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the chairman of the House Government Oversight Committee, said last year that he had all sorts of rumors linking the Biden family to the influence-spreading scheme that led to Hunter Biden being indicted for tax evasion. evidence was collected. Among other crimes. He just published a best-selling book, all the president's moneyEverything his committee learned from testimony, subpoenaed bank records, and previous work by Peter Schweitzer and the Government Accountability Institute is detailed in the book. secret empire and corrupted profile. Does Comer think there's still something he can do?
“The ball is in [incoming Attorney General] It's Pam Bondi's court,” Comer said, before asking, “Is the Trump administration going to hold them accountable?”
“The Department of Justice may pursue the Bidens for violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” Comer told the host. “They could nail the Bidens for money laundering. They could nail the Bidens for tax evasion. IRS Whistleblower [who testified to his committee] They said they didn't pay taxes on the tens of millions of dollars they took from foreign countries that we discovered. The bank claimed it was laundering money. “Anyone who knows anything knows they were violating the Foreign Agent Registration Act,” Comer said.
Eggers asks if the pardon given by Joe Biden will protect them from future criminal charges.
“You know, the most corrupt thing about these pardons is that they're preemptive and broad and blunt and target everything,” he said, adding that it means “they're doing more than just tax evasion. It's tantamount to admitting that he did it,” he added. They were laundering money and violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act and possibly the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The list of laws they have broken is endless. So, you know, I think that can be tested. ”
But one thing the pardon does ensure is that if pardoned Biden family members are asked to testify about their dealings in subsequent Congressional hearings, they will not be able to refuse on grounds of self-incrimination. That means you can't.
Eggers suspects the Biden family negotiated future deals themselves in order to convince Joe to drop out of the 2024 campaign. He asked Comer: “Have you ruled out the possibility that Biden's family was involved in negotiating some sort of financial transaction to persuade Joe Biden to withdraw from his re-election campaign?” Would that be a crime? If so, is that also the sin for which they have just been forgiven? ”
Mr Comer replied: “I think that's a possibility. Having studied them over the last two years, I don't think there's anything that could beat Biden.
Schweitzer appeared on radio host Mark Levin's show earlier this week and told Levin: He will not resign. He persisted for over a month. Hunter Biden has moved into the White House. Hunter Biden is the family's negotiator. I am convinced that some kind of withdrawal agreement was reached and the Biden family left with funding from Democratic donors. ”
