Democrats have crafted their central “talking point” when it comes to the impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden by claiming “there is no evidence that he did anything wrong.”
In response, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan listed four key pieces of evidence that warrant Biden’s removal from office.
Fact One:
Hunter sat on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma in exchange for millions.
The first fact is that the Biden family had no business being in Ukraine — no personal ties, no business relationships, and no expertise or experience in the energy sector.
Yet, Hunter Biden showed up from America. He sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company called Burisma and received millions of dollars in exchange. Subpoenaed bank records show that roughly $20 million in unexplained wire transfers were sent to the Biden family from foreign sources.
There’s no debate that this occurred. The only question is, “Why?”
Another American was sitting next to Hunter on the same board of the same company — Devon Archer. As a longtime Biden family friend and business associate, Archer says the arrangement was his whole idea.
Beginning on January 20, 2011, then-Vice President Joe Biden wrote a personal letter to Archer to thank him for the business opportunity. The letter, which has been analyzed and authenticated, is quickly becoming known as “the smoking-gun evidence” that confirms Joe Biden’s close personal involvement in the scheme.
“What was he thanking you for?” political commentator Tucker Carlson asked.
“It was kind of the beginning of our partnership, and he was thanking me and thanking Hunter,” Archer said. “I think, at the end of the day for bringing this idea of this government regulatory strategic advisory business into the private equity world. And I think he was excited about the prospects for Hunter, and he was just thanking me. I think it was a nice gesture.”
In the words of Archer, the Biden family provided “government regulatory strategic advice” to companies in Ukraine, Russia, and China. Specifically, the Biden family worked with foreign nationals in the energy sector. In 2022 alone, the U.S. invested over $140 billion into “clean energy.” Conveniently, the Biden administration has set a goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
Fact Two:
Burisma paid millions by requiring Hunter and his father to fire Ukranian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigation Burisma.
Multiple eyewitnesses have testified before Congress that Joe and Hunter Biden put the U.S. government on sale by providing their influence within U.S. politics.
Archer testified at the House Oversight Committee and confirmed that Hunter put his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone while meeting with business partners at least 20 times. “Archer described how Joe Biden was put on the phone to sell ‘the brand,'” Archer explained in his testimony.
In one of their central business deals, Hunter and Archer were placed on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma. Notably, Hunter and Archer are American citizens without any personal or business ties to Ukraine, nor any experience in the energy sector. Nonetheless, they received millions in this position for an unknown reason — until now. v
Archer testified that Hunter was required to get help from then-Vice President Joe Biden “regarding the Ukrainina prosecutor Viktor Shokin.” Left-wing “fact-check” articles, including one from CNN, have claimed that Shokin was not investigating Burisma or considered a threat to the company.
“He was a threat,” Archer explained. “He ended up seizing assets of [Burisma owner] Nikolai [Zlochevsky] — a house, some cars, a couple properties. And Nikolai actually never went back to Ukraine after Shokin seized all of his assets.”
Numerous people have corroborated Archer’s testimony, including Shokin himself as well as an FBI informant. The credible informant said Burisma CEO Zlochevsky paid off the Bidens with $10,000,000 for the firing of Shokin.
Shokin won a court order on Feb. 2, 2016 and seized Zlochevsky’s property. Shokin was fired roughly two months later on March 29.
Fact Three:
Joe Biden has publicly bragged that he demanded that Ukraine fire Shokin or else the U.S. would withhold $1 billion in aid.
Joe Biden’s wrongful action ultimately stopped Shokin from continuing to seize Zlochevsky’s personal assets and investigate his company, where Hunter and Archer “worked.”
“Well, son of a b****. He got fired,” Biden said gleefully.
When asked if Joe Biden or Hunter Biden received bribes, Shokin said, “My firm personal conviction is that, yes, this was the case.”
Major media outlets continue to defend Biden. A “fact-check” from left-leaning USA Today writes, “It’s true that Joe Biden leveraged $1 billion in aid to persuade Ukraine to oust its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in March 2016. But it wasn’t because Shokin was investigating Burisma. It was because Shokin wasn’t pursuing corruption among the country’s politicians.”
Referring to the Biden family, Shokin insisted, “They were being bribed. And the fact that Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in U.S. money in exchange for my dismissal, my firing — isn’t that alone a case of corruption?” he asked.
Democrats notoriously impeached former President Donald Trump on far less in December 2019. Democrats claimed Trump allegedly threatened to withhold military aid and a White House meeting from Ukraine if the country failed to investigate corruption within its government.
Democrats claimed this was “abuse of power and obstruction of Congress,” which led to his impeachment on December 18, 2019. In comparison, Biden has openly admitted to threatening to withhold aid while his son raked in millions as part of an international influence-peddling scheme.
Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky admitted that he felt “forced or coerced to pay” the Bidens in exchange for political favors.
Appearing on Fox News, Shokin presented evidence that the Bidens took bribes. He also discussed why he was investigating Burisma. Watch for yourself:
Fact Four:
Numerous independent sources and eye-witness have corroborated the evidence of the Biden family bribery scheme.
IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler confirmed that Hunter and Joe were participants Hunter’s tax crimes. Evidence revealed a troubling text message from Hunter to Chinese Communist Party official Henry Zhao. The angry text shows Hunter saying that I’m “sitting here with my father” and demanding a financial “commitment” be fulfilled “before it gets out of hand.”
In 2019, a text message from Hunter to his daughter revealed that his father, Joe Biden, takes half of Hunter’s business salary stemming from their work together. Hunter told his daughter, “I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. It’s really hard. But don’t worry, unlike Pop [Joe], I won’t make you give me half your salary,” Hunter wrote.
Subpoenaed bank records that show the Biden family created over 20 shell companies. A total of nine Biden family members received unexplained wire transfers from foreign businesses. These records show roughly $20 million in payments from foreign sources to the Biden family. Even two of Biden’s grandchildren received payments. It’s unclear which grandchildren received payments, but most of them are in their early twenties with no personal or business ties to Ukraine, Russia, or China.
This strategy by the Biden family is an obvious attempt to diversify and hide payments. Banks regularly flag suspicious financial activity for authorities, such as money laundering, tax evasion, terrorist funding, and fraud. These reports are called Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and banks are required to file with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
When it comes to the Biden family, there were over 170 SARs from multiple banks, according to Townhall. These SARs are sent to the Treasury Department when banks “have a strong suspicion” that a crime has been committed, which is meant to protect the bank.
Hunter’s business partners were intimately aware of Joe’s involvement. This includes Tony Bobulinski, Devon Archer, and Eric Schwerin, among others. Bobulinski confirmed before the 2020 presidential election that Hunter’s laptop and the Biden family’s criminal business activity were both accurate.
In 2020, Bobulinski said Joe’s denial that he was ever involved in his son’s overseas transactions is “a blatant lie.” Archer testified in front of Congress that he personally witnessed Joe on speaker phone during business calls with Hunter over 20 times. Archer admitted that Joe’s job was to help sell the “Biden brand.”
These four facts paint a deeply troubling picture about the alleged criminal ongoings inside the Biden family, which warrant an impeachment against Joe Biden.
