“I want to be clear: This committee is investigating President Biden and his family’s shady business deals that capitalize on Joe Biden’s public office and risked our country’s national security … We believe that the president has been involved in this from the very beginning, obviously,” Comer said.

“It would be hard for me to believe that Hunter Biden was so charismatic that he could convince foreign nationals to wire millions of dollars into not just his account but eight of his family members’ accounts,” he added. “We believe that there was a return on the investment.”

. . .
Comer concluded the press conference by identifying nine Biden family members who allegedly got foreign funds.


The unidentified Biden account or accounts that received the Romanian proceeds got $80,000 over four transactions, the memo said.
Hunter Biden received payments from a Romanian source while Joe was VP and Joe was directly involved in policy making with Romania. And what in the world did Joe's grandchild do to earn money from a foreign source?

Most likely another false report from the GOP.

Yarddog hasn't been sent to re-education camp yet. Trump was so successful in making the Mexicans pay for the wall we have extra money to help people like him.

Likely nothing, just that the parents (Joe's children) likely were setting up trust funds to take care of the grandchildren -- as richer people frequently do.

But I'm curious, where is the crime?

And it is odd that Republicans want to make a big deal of this while, at the same time, ignoring that Trump's children were often trying to deals with countries (particularly Saudi Arabia) while Pres. Trump was involved with them diplomatically. Even worse, where there is a clear conflict of interest, you have Jared Kushner, who was working for the government with Middle Eastern countries, and days after Pres. Trump's term ended Jared scores a business deal with the Saudis. It seems odd you care so much about the "Biden family" deal, in which it is stated there is no evidence Joe is involved, while completely ignoring the same issues with Pres. Trump. It's almost like you don't care at all about possible corruption but that this is purely political.

Twenty shell corporations? A celebrity might use one shell corporation to hide his or her name. Twenty is a major effort to obscure financial flow, and the money came from foreign countries where Joe had responsibilities as vice president. And 150 or so financial transactions were flagged as suspicious by our federal government.

And again, Trump has used far more shell corporations but nothing suspicious there, right? Not to mention that any amount over $10,000 is flagged as "suspicious." You'd think, with all the records Republicans have already looked at, and the Biden shell corporations they've looked at, that if there was actually something suspicious they would have found actual evidence.

Instead, we keep being gaslighted how Trump is squeaky clean for the exact same suspicious things, but it totally "proves" that Joe Biden (who isn't actually involved in any of them) is guilty.

This is a clearer article on Hunter Biden and his efforts with a Romanian businessman.


Hunter Biden, who is a lawyer, was retained by the business executive, Gabriel Popoviciu, in 2015, while his father was vice president, to help try to fend off charges in Romania being pursued by anti-corruption prosecutors. In 2016, Mr. Popoviciu was convicted on charges related to a land deal in northern Bucharest, the Romanian capital.

Mr. Popoviciu appealed the decision.

Around the time of the 2016 conviction, Mr. Biden recruited Mr. Freeh to assist on the case, according to four people familiar with the effort. Mr. Freeh then retained Mr. Giuliani, who last year criticized Romania’s anti-corruption crackdown and urged amnesty to those who had been convicted, which could have included Mr. Popoviciu......

There is no evidence that Vice President Biden acted improperly in any of the situations involving his son......

But yeah, it odd, to say the least, that Republicans carry on about Hunter while ignoring all the financial benefits Trump's children received because their father was president.

The U.S. government flagged Hunter's transactions as suspicious, not me.

As long as he wasn't President and arrested and impeached and impeached or anything serious.

The three branches of government are the Republicans, Trump, and Fox News. If you think I am joking this is literally what happens in some countries.

There is a good detail and a nice summary in this article:
  • Romanian real estate tycoon Gabriel Popoviciu was convicted in his home country in 2016 of bribery
  • He bribed a university official to buy a 550-acre plot of government-owned land for a drastically reduced price
  • Popoviciu hired Hunter Biden that year as part of an influence campaign to persuade anti-corruption prosecutors to cut a deal or drop the case
  • DailyMail.com can now reveal the extensive propaganda and persuasion campaign planned for the Romanian criminal
  • Hunter brought in political heavyweight Louis Freeh, the former director of the FBI, to use his US law enforcement contacts for Popoviciu's advantage
  • Hunter's involvement included meeting with U.S. officials and plotting a media blitz in favor of the foreign tycoon, all while his father was Vice President
  • Despite the planned influence and media campaign, Hunter and his colleagues' attempts failed and Popoviciu was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2016

From the OP article
We’ve never seen a presidential family receive these sums of money from adversaries around the world — we’re just talking about a couple of countries today,” Comer said.

  1. The House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into a $2 billion investment by the Saudi government into a firm formed by Jared Kushner after he left the White House last year.

There’s going to be a lot of egg to wipe off when all of this finally comes out. Joe is head of the Biden crime family!
I Agree, and to disregard the testimony of Tony Bobalinski who was Hunters business partner, and don't forget 10% for "The Big Guy" papa Joe

Sad part is 95% of all politicians are for sale, they all vote to give $Billions$ to Ukraine, without accountability, where's that taxpayer money going?

When will they have televised hearings? I want to hear what the other 49% of the oversight committee thinks about this huge waste of time.
Waste of time and money?

That would be the democratic criminals in the Trump Russis Hoax, a 2+ year investigation, that held America hostage, spending $Millions$ of taxpayer dollars

Care to say an oops? Bank records... read that SLOWLY, BANK RECORDS show Biden is utterly corrupt and has been paid MILLIONS of Dollars by foreign adversaries.
Thus far no investigation has shown that Joe Biden did anything wrong. Hunter Biden may have, though.
