Of those emails, 54 were exclusively between Joe Biden and Schwerin, who the committee charges as the architect of the Biden family's "various shell companies that launder money around the world."

Quote:
Before a June 2014 visit to Ukraine, Joe Biden and Schwerin had only exchanged five emails, the committee found, but after the trip, Joe Biden and Schwerin emailed 27 times.



Quote:
A source told Fox News Digital the whistleblowers could only access metadata for these exchanges. The source said accessing the content of the emails would require a search warrant.

I think we've heard those exact words (or ones very similar) from another former VP. How'd that turn out?

Quote:
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01): Did your gut tell you that Joe Biden was benefiting in any way from any of Hunter's criminal proceeds?

Special Agent Shapley: We were interested in following leads that went to Joe Biden President Biden not because he was Vice President, but because in any normal investigation, if you see financial transactions between son and father, and email correspondence going back and forth, text messages, and WhatsApp messages, in every investigation we have ever worked, we would follow those leads to the father…We'll never know because we weren't allowed to investigate…For example, we wanted to go and say, "location data we want to look into that." And you know, it just wasn't supported, and things just fell off the priority list.

Fitzpatrick: [Were you] stopped because of who it was? Could you even offer a hunch about what you would have found?

Special Agent Shapley: When you see 10 held by H for the big guy and we have other correspondence where they are saying, don't call dad you know, call dad something else, call him because we are trying to confuse or conceal who it is, that is issue for concern. And was there 10 percent that went to the big guy? We will never know because we weren't allowed to investigate that.

[Later…]

Fitzpatrick: What were the red flags that as an agent, you saw a red flag. You wanted to go down that path. You were prevented from doing so. We are not prevented from doing so. We have tools at our disposal that we can see if that evidence exists or doesn't.

Special Agent Ziegler: This is new information: In 2020, 2021, 2022 Hunter Biden received approximately $4.9 million in payments for personal expenses. Again, in the form of a loan or gift from Democratic donor, Kevin Morris. We have a reason to believe that Kevin Morris was on phone calls with the presidential campaign prior to Joe Biden securing the presidency. So you have the email. "Personally and politically." Hunter Biden wasn't running for office, so who is who is impacted politically by Hunter Biden's tax returns not being filed? Look at when did he meet Kevin Morris and when were the tax payments made? It's about two months prior to meeting him.

So deceptive @nytimes
Hunter Biden's indictment is "far from helpful to the Republicans: It never mentions President Biden, not even indirectly, and provides no evidence linking the misdeeds of the son to the father." You know why. Every investigative avenue that led to Joe Biden was blocked.
This is entirely the point that IRS investigators Joseph Ziegler and Gary Shapley have been making and it is why they were forced to blow the whistle.
Just a few examples of malfeasance:
- The FBI FD 1023 alleging Joe was bribed $5m by Ukraine was kept from investigators.
- Investigators were refused access to Hunter's laptop that the FBI had buried.
- Search warrants of Joe's Delaware estate were denied and to Hunter's storage unit were leaked to his lawyers.
- Questions about "The Big Guy" were not allowed.
- Interviews with Biden family members were banned.
- Joe's presidential transition team was tipped off that the FBI was about to interview Hunter in Dec. 2020 (and thus they never did).
The DOJ, FBI and Delaware US Attorney's office made certain Joe was protected.

Yet everything keeps humming along.

All these so called schemes turn out to be nothing. It is as laughable as Trump did nothing wrong to end up in court.

If Biden did this stuff, impeach him. Show the evidence. If Trump did nothing wrong, when is a Judge going to dismiss the case?

they don't have to impeach or convict (a jury won't convict an "elderly man with poor memory" anyway). 70% of americans already believe joe was involved in hunter's shady business dealings. they see 20 shell companies, "the big guy", bobulinski, emails, texts, wire transfers, james biden, americore.....

WSJ: Tony Bobulinski and the Biden Family Business - Hunter's former partner tells Congress how Joe & Co. sold influence

Quote:
The Oversight Committee says it has found that more than $20 million in payments from foreign sources flowed to Biden family members and business associates. The political reality is that Mr. Trump will use all of this to offset voter concern about his various trials. It's one more reason for Democrats to reconsider the risks of Mr. Biden as their nominee.


Quote:
Hunter and his uncle James enlisted Bobulinski as CEO of a joint investment venture they and two associates put together with CEFC, a huge Chinese conglomerate tied to the Chinese government. Bobulinski says he was told Joe Biden was a silent partner in the deal when he was vice president in 2015. He also says he discussed these business dealings with the man who is now president on "multiple occasions" in 2017. The Chinese agreed to provide the entire $10 million for the venture, half for its ownership stake and half as a forgivable "loan" to the Bidens. In effect, the Bidens got a $5 million share of a company despite putting up no money.
Quote:
In sum, Bobulinski testified, "Joe Biden's immediate family members were enriched to the tune of tens of millions of dollars from some of our most dangerous adversaries, including the Chinese Communist Party and players from Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan and other foreign nations and entities." He believes these dealings involved "possible violations by Joe Biden of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity statutes, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)."

the lefty election machine working overtime already
Quote:
Remember Smirnov is the FBI's long-standing, "trusted", "credible" (their words) informant who they have paid more than $100,000 since at least 2010 and who has testified in multiple cases that likely led to convictions. Per indictment, information he provided was used on: 10/1/2010, 5/17/2011, 11/28/2012, 04/12/2013, 8/29/2013, 7/10/2015 and 3/11/2020.

"The Defendant also knew the information he provided was used in criminal investigations because the Defendant participated in a number of operations where he was authorized to engage in criminal activity as part of an on-going criminal investigation."

Smirnov has no criminal record. He is a dual US-Israeli citizen. Why now is he such a flight risk that the DOJ tried to keep him locked up in protective custody with tricky access to lawyers, let alone journalists?

And now his case is being transferred to the Central District of California where Biden nominee and Democrat donor Martin Estrada is the US Attorney who declined to charge Hunter Biden.

Estrada was so desirable that Delaware USA David Weiss and AUSA Lesley Wolf delayed and made all sorts of excuses, according to IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, until he was in place to ask him to partner. Hunter was Estrada's first case.

You don't get it. You can explain to the TDS afflicted crowd that the problem is the corrupt people in position to bring the hammer down won't touch their masters but will go after their master's opponents with glee until you're blue in the face and they'll just respond with, "but if Trump wasn't guilty he wouldn't have 91 indictments and if Biden was guilty he would be charged!" They just don't have the capacity to understand the conversation or the integrity to address it directly.

Whether or not they have to doesn't play into it with me. If they have evidence, provable evidence, that he is corrupt or worse compromised it is their responsibility to bring impeachment charges and get it resolved.

I don't give a **** about the Political games with a sitting President, if you have the goods and know he is compromised it is a danger to the US for him to continue. It is irresponsible and negligent to let him go on for political gain. Not a popular view I know.

Same with the border, Trump is wrong to want it to stay like it is so he gets political gain. It needs to be closed today. The political gamesmanship is sickening. This is not sitting on a Supreme Court seat with the Court functioning fine. These are real dangers to the nation.

I am against this crap for the same reason I am against Trump holding office, they are acting in their own best interest not the nations.

Even worse now.

It's now been disclosed that he's been meeting with Russian intel officials.

So this guy and probably others have been feeding eager Republicans disinformation and Republicans have put it in our judicial and political process.

Putin has to be so happy!

To whom it may concern……
When attempting to impeach a sitting POTUS with questionable information, it is vital that your key, #1 prime witness NOT be a soviet agent who is funded by Putin et al. And it is probably worth vetting said agent to be certain that your party's selected special investigator is not about to indict said agent for lying to you…….just saying should this be timely or pertinent……,

Just to make sure folks dont think I am making this up……

Hunter Biden informant charged with lying had high-level Russian contacts: Docs
The informant accused of fabricating a story about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden taking $5 million each in bribes allegedly had high-level Russian intelligence contacts, according to newly filed court documents.
In the filing Tuesday, special counsel David Weiss revealed that after his arrest last week, Alexander Smirnov told the FBI "that officials with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story" about Hunter Biden.
Prosecutors argued in their filing Smirnov should be held pending trial, with Weiss saying that Smirnov claims that he has active contacts with "multiple foreign intelligence agencies" and that he had planned to leave the U.S. just two days after his arrival last week "for a months-long, multi-country foreign trip……
