Biden corruption
January 10, 2024 — Scott Johnson
The House Oversight Committee interviewed Hunter Biden’s art dealer yesterday behind closed doors. His name is Georges Bergès. Committee chairman James Comer has posted a statement (followed by key takeaways). It seems that not all was as it was cracked up to be, so to speak, by the Biden White House. Indeed, it seems that nothing was as it was cracked up to be by the Biden White House. This

In the wake of the Colorado Supreme Court’s outrageous ruling that bars Donald Trump from the ballot in that state, many Republicans have urged that states controlled by the GOP do the same thing to Joe Biden. My point here is not to endorse that strategy–partisan majorities banning their political opponents from participating in elections is obviously not a good thing–but rather to note that, if Republican-leaning courts in some

In her Devine Online newsletter yesterday, Miranda Devine foresaw “major developments from the impeachment inquiry next year.” After a brief preview of anticipated developments, she links to Paul Sperry’s RealClearInvestigations column “Who Is Sara Biden? Joe’s In-Law Emerges as Central Figure in Foreign Cash Deals.” Sperry provides a lucid account of the Biden family business, Lion Hall edition. The corruption is patent. All roads lead to Dementia Joe. We all

Democrats desperate to shield Joe Biden now generally characterize the issue over his corruption as whether Joe received financial benefit from Hunter’s business dealings. (E.g., USA Today, “House Republicans allege that Biden financially benefited from his family’s foreign business dealings, but they have yet to provide evidence showing Biden reaped personal benefits from his family’s overseas affairs.”) Putting aside the fact that there is indeed evidence that some of Hunter’s

This past weekend Washington Post reporter Michael Kranish worked up a detailed Sunday morning special on the Biden family business: “James Biden’s dealmaking caught on FBI tapes in unrelated bribery probe.” Subhead: “While Joe Biden campaigned in Mississippi, his brother planned to build a powerful consulting business — a deal that brought him to the periphery of a federal case.” Kranish’s story on the Biden family business goes back to

Washington Post White House reporter Tyler Pager has an unintentionally funny story reporting that President Biden is frustrated with his increasingly dismal poll numbers. He deems them humiliating for a man of his stature. He has ordered his team do something about them. Biden conceives the problem as one of marketing. His policies, as we all know, have brought us peace and prosperity. For some reason or other, however, claiming

Miranda Devine’s December 14 New York Post column is keyed to Hunter Biden’s public statement defying the congressional subpoena for his testimony last week. Jonathan Turley covers Biden’s illegal contempt of Congress in a column that is now posted at his site. In his statement, Hunter Biden played his “poor, poor pitiful me” card and vowed to defend his Daddy from the bad guys (“MAGA Republicans,” in case you hadn’t

As John pointed out yesterday, Joe Biden is “orders of magnitude dumber than a normal president,” and John is not the first to notice. As Black Hawk Down author Mark Bowden explained in 2010, Joe Biden was an “indifferent student,” a bottom-feeder who exaggerated his scholastic record and “borrowed liberally, and without attribution,” from British politician Neil Kinnock. The Delaware Democrat, “makes few references to books and learned influences,” betraying

Professor Jonathan Turley opens his current column in The Hill with a quote from Aldous Huxley: “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.” Chronicling the profusion of lies about which we have commented many times previously, as I did here on Friday, Professor Jonathan Turley observes: [T]he evidence has only mounted against President Biden. It is now clear that Biden lied when he maintained as

A Central District of California federal grand jury has handed up a nine-count indictment of Hunter Biden on tax charges. Three of the charged crimes are felonies. The rest are misdemeanors. The detailed 56-page indictment is posted online here and embedded in Victor Nava’s New York Post story here. The gist of the case is set forth in paragraph 4 of the indictment: “The Defendant engaged in a four-year scheme

Yesterday President Biden appeared to make remarks urging Congress to pass his national security supplemental funding request. The White House has posted the transcript here. New York Post reporter Steven Nelson had this exchange with Biden (video below): Q President Biden, on Ukraine and also China. President Biden, on Ukraine and also China. There’s polling by the Associated Press that shows that almost 70 percent of Americans, including 40 percent

The New York Post story on the latest findings in the House investigation of the Biden family business appears to contradict a number of themes that President Biden has hammered in his shifting defenses: For nearly a decade, Joe Biden used multiple email aliases to send hundreds of messages to his son Hunter’s former business partner, a Republican-led House committee leading the impeachment inquiry into the president revealed Tuesday. The

Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman made news at a House hearing last week. He alleged without a scrap of evidence that the Hunter Biden laptop hard drive might have been altered by Rudy Giuliani. According to Goldman, the hard drive “was not authenticated as real.” It’s as real as Goldman is fake. The episode reminded me of one of Alger Hiss’s claims of innocence following his conviction of perjury. According to

Politico was the purveyor of the statement signed by the Deep State 51 asserting that the New York Post reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop reflected a Russian information operation. Former Politico reporter Natasha Bertrand wrote the story and posted the statement along with it. In reality, as any fool could figure, Bertrand’s story and the accompanying statement reflected a Biden campaign information operation. Now Politico’s Ben Schreckinger tells us: “Fresh

Is it possible that we will actually see a Biden-Trump rematch in 2024? I have been confidently predicting for a long time that it won’t happen, but filing deadlines are starting to go by, and no one has entered the race against Joe Biden except Dean Phillips (I don’t count Marianne Williamson). Democrats are nervous about Biden because 1) everyone has now noticed that he is senile, 2) Bidenflation has

Miranda Devine has written the column of the day. In it she provides a valuable narrative account that updates what we have learned so far about the Biden family business — the business of corruption — and the suppression of the related investigation. Devine’s column is headlined “Anatomy of a Biden family ‘coverup’ executed by our own FBI and DOJ.” Here is the heart of the column: Closed door testimony
