Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich argues that the Biden family is the “most corrupt” in United States history.
It’s easy to see why. Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign repeatedly insisted that he had no involvement in his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings.
“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden said at the time. “I don’t discuss business with my son.”
At another time, Biden categorically and emphatically said, “I’ve never discussed with my son or my brother, or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period.” (Poll: Is Joe Biden Fit to be President? VOTE)
Multiple witnesses have testified that then-Vice President was regularly involved in the businesses of Hunter Biden and foreign nationals. The explosive testimony of Joe and Hunter Biden’s longtime friend and business partner Devon Archer revealed that Joe was on speakerphone at meetings with business partners at least 20 times. “Joe Biden was put on the phone to sell ‘the brand,'” Archer explained in his testimony.
Despite having no personal or business ties to Ukraine, and no experience in the energy sector, Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer were placed on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma. They received millions in this position. In exchange, Archer testified that Hunter was required to get help from then-Vice President Joe Biden “regarding the Ukrainina prosecutor Viktor Shokin.” Shokin was investigating Burisma on corruption charges.
Biden later bragged that he demanded that Ukraine fire Shokin or else the U.S. would withhold $1 billion in aid. “Well, son of a b****. He got fired,” Biden said laughing. A reliable FBI informant said Burisma CEO Zlochevsky paid off the Bidens with $10,000,000 for this service.
Archer testified about Shokin by saying, “He was a threat. 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.”
Shokin won a court order on Feb. 2, 2016 and seized Zlochevsky’s property. Shokin was fired roughly two months later on March 29. Democrats as well as left-wing “fact-checks,” including one from CNN, have falsely claim that Shokin was not investigating Burisma or considered a threat to Zlochevsky.
This leads us to one question: Where’s the criminal indictment of Joe Biden?
On August 1st, Americans learned that the U.S. Justice Department has indicted former President Donald Trump for allegedly conspiring to defraud the country “by using knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct the government function by which those results are collected, counted and certified.”
According to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s own definitions and standards in the indictment, Biden himself faces mounting evidence that he lied time and time again during the 2020 presidential campaign to defraud voters and the country. Biden had intimate knowledge as well as an active role in his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings and corrupt influence peddling. (COLLAPSING: Bud Light Parent Company Sells Off 8 Craft Brands)
Archer’s testimony is corroborated by Hunter Biden’s texts and emails. 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. This illegally and unethically exploited Biden’s power and position while working as vice president in the Obama administration.
In another text message, Hunter used the messaging system “WhatsApp,” on July 30, 2017 to send a threatening text to Hery Zhao, CEO of Harvest Fund Management. In the bombshell text, Hunter said he was “sitting here” with his father “and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.”
“Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight,” Hunter Biden wrote. “And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father,” he said.
Hunter texted a Chinese businessman named named Gongwen “Kevin” Dong asking for $10 million because the Biden family is best at “doing exactly what the chairman wants.” This text corresponds to a separate email on Hunter’s laptop about the Biden family’s venture with CEFC. The deal notoriously included “10 held by H for the big guy.” The “big guy” refers to Joe Biden and “10” refers to $10 million. (Poll: Should Athletes Kneel During National Anthem? VOTE)
The “chairman,” as Hunter Biden referenced, was CEFC’s chairman Ye Jianming. Ye paid Hunter a $1 million retainer fee for legal services in 2017. Ye also reportedly gave Hunter a large diamond in February 2017 worth an estimated $80,000.
In the message dated August 3, 2017, Hunter told Kevin Dong, “I am tired of this Kevin. I can make $5M in salary at any law firm in America. Very simple, 10 M per annum budget to use to further the interest of the JV. This move to 5M is completely new to me and is not acceptable obviously. If you think this is about money it’s not,” Hunter added. “The Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly what the chairman wants from this partnership … let’s not quibble over peanuts.”
The evidence clearly indicates President Biden’s involvement in his son’s international bribery scheme. IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley Jr., who oversaw the agency’s investigation into Hunter Biden, released this information to the American people after it had been hidden for years. After seeing the evidence, there is only one logical conclusion: It’s time to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden for taking bribes and selling out the country.
An impeachment inquiry by the House would be a first step toward bringing articles of impeachment. If the GOP successfully impeaches Joe Biden, he will have to exit the 2024 race. If impeachment occurs, Democrats will have very little time to promote an alternative candidate. This may lead to Kamala Harris stepping in and virtually guaranteeing Republican retake control in the White House. Harris has struggled immensely in office with the lowest vice president approval rating in U.S. history.
