Report:
“The report illustrates the complex web of LLCs that the Bidens and their associates used to conceal the flow of payments from foreign agents to Biden family accounts, a pattern reminiscent of classic money-laundering schemes. The influence peddling worked domestically, too, with family members leveraging Joe Biden’s positions of public trust to obtain over $8 million in “loans” from Democratic benefactors, most of it not paid back and much of it not actually supported by loan documentation.
Obviously, this wide-ranging scheme should have been the subject of an aggressive law-enforcement investigation. Instead, the Biden-Harris Justice Department straitjacketed investigators who tried to pursue leads, forbade the questioning of witnesses about the president’s connections to the family business, and tipped off defense counsel to the agents’ pursuit of incriminating evidence. Biden-Harris DOJ prosecutors tried to spin the case as solely focused on Hunter, whose tax problems were notorious.
Dragging their feet year after year, DOJ first tried to disappear the case with no charges. When IRS whistleblower investigations exposed that stratagem, Biden-Harris prosecutors tried to make the tax and firearms charges go away through a sweetheart plea. The president’s son was finally indicted only after that gambit imploded when a federal judge questioned its terms. But by then, it was mission accomplished — DOJ had waited so long to file charges that any crimes arising out of Joe Biden’s term as vice president were time-barred under the statute of limitations.
House Republicans never had the numbers to seek impeachment articles against Biden — they barely got the impeachment inquiry approved. A serious impeachment investigation would, of course, have started with Biden’s dereliction of duty on the southern border and his usurpations of congressional power, which the Supreme Court has routinely slapped down. But the Biden influence-peddling scheme easily qualifies as impeachable conduct.
Obviously, none of this featured during the first night of the convention, but it is an essential part of any record of the Biden-Harris administration.
