An Impeachment Inquiry

An Impeachment Inquiry
“Everyone should understand, impeachment is not the goal,” Rep. Darrell Issa, a senior Republican on House Judiciary Committee, one of the panel’s tasked with investigating Biden, told reporters recently. “Impeachment is a way of saying this is not a legislative oversight, but in fact an oversight of possible wrongdoing.”

Link to Quote: What’s ahead now that Republicans are opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden | The Hill


There is a huge difference between Articles of Impeachment and an Impeachment Inquiry:


"An impeachment inquiry is an investigation of possible wrongdoing by a federal official, such as the president of the United States, Cabinet officials or judges. The process is written into the Constitution and is the most powerful check that Congress has on the executive branch."

What’s ahead now that Republicans are opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden | The Hill

The House does have an obligation to move forward with this. An Impeachment Inquiry does not need to be voted on and I hope the Speaker does not take it to a vote. For people who don't watch Fox News and merely watch the basic leftist media such a move may come as a surprise. They may ask where all this is coming from. The facts are that the House Committee investigating Hunter Biden has uncovered thousands of pages of financial records involving various members of the Biden family, which they had to subpoena from the Treasury Department. I doubt many Americans even know that.

The Committee has also interviewed whistleblowers who worked at highest echelon of the IRS who were investigating Hunter Biden. They claimed their investigation had been limited by the Justice Department limiting who they could interview, with Hunter Biden being tipped off on a pending raid and the prosecutor in the case (now the Special Counsel) sitting on serious charges against Hunter while the statute of limitations ran out and eventually arranging for a sweetheart deal that would allow Hunter Biden to walk away from all past & future charges.


The Committee also revealed that Joe Biden spoke with Hunter Biden's associates on at least 20 occasions over a decade:

"Mr. Archer told lawmakers during the session that Hunter Biden had put his father on speakerphone to talk to his business partners about 20 times over a decade, according to both Republicans and Democrats in the room.

Representative James R. Comer, Republican of Kentucky and chairman of the Oversight Committee, said Mr. Archer had testified that Mr. Biden was put on the phone to sell “the brand.” The phone calls were made during a range of events, including a dinner in Paris with a French energy company and another in China with the executive of an investment fund, Mr. Comer said.

“Devon Archer’s testimony today confirms Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge about his son’s business dealings and was not involved,” Mr. Comer said in a statement."

Biden Spoke With Hunter Biden’s Associates Repeatedly, Devon Archer Testifies - The New York Times (nytimes.com)


I have to use the term  obviously  to describe the influence peddling of Hunter & Joe Biden. The problem is that the key evidence that we now have mainly points to a coverup by the DOJ. Merrick Garland never recused himself from this case. He lied to us when he claimed that David Weiss had all the authority of a Special Counsel when he was investigating Hunter Biden as US Attorney in Delaware. That required a written confirmation from Garland. We now know that there never was any such documentation. So now the question is will we ever have the direct evidence that democrats claim we should have concerning Joe Biden's involvement?

Clearly people don't take checks made out to them from a foreign government buying influence. That kind of evidence simply & logically does not exist. The evidence like the LLC's that link Biden family members to the scheme is likely all we will ever get. Anything that would be damning has most likely been destroyed by the corrupt Merrick Garland. Speaker McCarthy should not put this Impeachment Inquiry to a vote because everyone knows how hard it will be to get additional evidence or to get vulnerable Republicans to vote for it. What happens now is very predictable. The leftist media will continue to ignore the story. David Weiss as Special Council will once again sit on this case until hell freezes over. All the House Committee can do is try and make the public aware of how these faux investigations have been handled.


Maybe if democracy and an honest media ever return, future generations will learn about the era of the left and how they kept the truth from the American people.

Joe Biden's bank accounts now may be opened. The House will have additional subpoena powers. Bank records, whistleblowers and many questionable actions will be scrutinized. Why did an FBI informant say Joe Biden took a bribe?  Why was Joe Biden on all those phone calls?  

I don't know how this turns out politically, but The House is doing what it must.

MAGA House is conducting a so-called “investigation” into a Biden impeachment, so, how about Dems conduct an investigation into whether Trump/Kushner ordered the torture & murder of Jamal Khashoggi because he found a sleazy deal in which Trump sold America out to the Saudis?

The President and Vice President release their 2022 tax   returns

Today, the President and First Lady released their 2022 federal income tax return. With this release, President Biden has shared a total of 25 years of tax returns with the American public. Once again demonstrating his commitment to being transparent with the American people about the finances of the Commander-in-Chief, President Biden has released the most tax returns of any president while in office.

White House releases show Biden personal finances little changed

Trump privately discussed Biden impeachment with House GOPers

Donald Trump has been weighing in behind the scenes in support of the House GOP push to impeach President Joe Biden, including talking with a member of leadership in the lead up to Tuesday’s announcement authorizing a formal impeachment inquiry.

The former president has been speaking weekly with House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, who was the first member of Republican leadership to come out in support of impeachment. The two spoke Tuesday, after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced Republicans would be pursuing the inquiry, according to two people familiar with the conversation.

Stefanik has been a longtime Trump ally. She endorsed his comeback presidential bid before he made his official announcement and has been mentioned as a potential Trump VP pick should he win the GOP nomination.

On Sunday night, Trump had dinner at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), an ally of Trump and McCarthy. At the gathering, the topic of impeachment was discussed, according to a person familiar with the conversation who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A Trump spokesperson did not comment . The former president has not been shy about his belief that Biden should be impeached. Late last month he wrote on Truth Social: \"Either IMPEACH the BUM, or fade into OBLIVION. THEY DID IT TO US.\"

But the extent of his private involvement in encouraging House Republicans to plow forward with the process shows the influence he continues to wield inside the party as its likely presidential nominee. It could also spark further attacks from Biden’s camp that impeachment is being done merely to bloody him up before the election.

Trump was impeached twice by the Democratic-controlled House during his tenure — first, over his pressure campaign against Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate Biden, and later for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Trump will be in Washington at the end of the week and is taping an interview with Megyn Kelly on Wednesday.

This oft-repeated crap has to be the single most stupid 'defense' of a Biden in the world.

Bet you won't answer just a few questions, will you?

Why do the Bidens have multiple shell companies?

What services did the Biden Family provide for the millions in foreign money they received?

Why has Joe been lying the whole time about his son's business?

To be honest, I fully expect these questions to be ignored by liberals as they usually are.

They have "thousands of pages" of financial records and still cannot explain the crime Biden allegedly committed. They dont want to remove Biden from office for wrong doing, they want to drag this fiasco out through the 2024 election .

Seems those 'financial records' led to proof of Hunter Biden lying on his taxes!

JR, 3 questions I know will be ignored, but I'll try anyway:

1. Why does the Biden Family have shell corporations set up and why did they launder money through them?

2. What services, if any, did the Biden Family provide for the millions in foreign money they collected?

3. Why has Joe Biden been lying the whole time about his son's business?

Let's see some intelligent attempts to answer these questions.

‘Shell’ companies

Comer often suggests that the Biden family used these so-called shell companies to launder money; in his telling, such companies served no legitimate function. But that claim is undercut by the list of 21 companies that appear in the second staff memo.

Virtually all of the companies (many of which now are defunct) had legitimate business interests. Others had clearly identified business investments.

Digging through the records, we find only three whose business purpose remains vague; one ( Rosemont Seneca Global Risk Services, LLC ) may not even be related to Hunter Biden, according to an email found in Hunter Biden’s laptop. The memos do not list any payments that flowed through these three companies.

Companies founded by Hunter Biden

  • Seneca Global Advisors  was a   boutique consulting firm that Hunter Biden founded in 2008 to help small and midsize companies expand into markets in the U.S. and other countries, according to a 2019 interview he gave to the New Yorker.  OpenSecrets.org  identifies it as “a lobbying firm that was hired by 9 clients in 2008, for a total amount of $210,000.” All of the clients are identified.
  • Owasco PC  was essentially Hunter Biden’s law firm and did legal work. One memo acknowledges it is “a professional corporation.” The memo also lists an  Owasco LLC  and  Skaneateles, LLC,  two of the companies whose purpose remains vague. Hunter Biden named his personal LLCs, used to handle payments like payroll, after towns in New York’s Finger Lakes region, where his mother was born, according to a former business partner.

Companies in partnership with Hunter Biden

  • Rosemont Seneca Partners , founded in 2009 by Hunter Biden, Devon Archer and Christopher Heinz. The third staff memo identifies it as “central to the Bidens’ later business ventures,” confirming that it is not a shell company. Many of the other supposed shell companies are offshoots of this firm.
  • Rosemont Seneca Advisors   in 2017  had investment projects in West Africa and a 5 percent stake in Harves Amusement Parks and ownership in Harves Sports and Entertainment, both in China. A 2011 email in Hunter Biden’s laptop suggests most of his business was done through this entity.
  • Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners (RSTP)  still exists under a different name,  Pilot Growth Equity As we have previously reported , Rosemont Seneca Partners had a stake in RSTP, which invested in emerging technology companies. In 2014, the Wall Street Journal  reported  that Hunter Biden had been discharged that February from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine use. Biden had not disclosed the discharge to RSTP members and so in early 2015 he was eased out of the firm, which has since rebranded itself as Pilot Growth Equity and declined to comment.
  • RSTP II Alpha  and  RSTP II Bravo  were related venture capital funds that registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The investments included a genetics testing company called Counsyl, according to a  2014 Forbes article.
  • Rosemont Seneca Bohai , created in 2014 to invest in a Chinese fund  generally known as BHR Partners , was a replacement vehicle for Rosemont Seneca Thornton, LLC, mentioned below.
  • RSP Holdings  is described in an  SEC document  as the parent company of RSP Investments, which aimed to “provide private placement services, hedge fund marketing and capital introduction services.” The memo does not mention RSP Investments but has a listing for  Rosemont Seneca Principal Investments,  presumably the same company.
  • Hudson West III  and  Hudson West IV  were involved in an energy investment deal with CEFC China Energy, a Chinese energy conglomerate. Comer has decried the deal   as “a scheme to try to get China to buy liquefied natural gas,” indicating he knows these are not shall companies.

Companies with a Hunter Biden connection

  • Rosemont Realty LLC,  founded in 1991. Hunter Biden was not on the Rosemont Realty management team but was listed as part of the board of advisers of the firm, which was managed by Devon Archer. This was a substantial company; in 2013, its  website  showed it owned properties in 25 states, including Comer’s home state of Kentucky. Archer was  recently interviewed  by the Oversight Committee and he tried to explain that a wire transfer of $3.5 million from Elena Baturina, a Russian billionaire, that interested the committee was part of a $120 million investment with Rosemont Realty that was unrelated to Hunter Biden. “Rosemont Realty was completely out of his, kind of, portfolio,” Archer said.
  • Lion Hall Group  and  JBB SR  are   associated with Joe Biden’s brother  James Biden . Lion Hall is a consulting group,  according to a Washington Post  investigation, while JBB SR has been  described  in Ben Schreckinger’s 2021 book “ The Bidens ” as managing two businesses that sold medical and agricultural products. James Biden hung up the phone when the Fact Checker identified himself.
  • Robinson Walker LLC,  founded in 2008 by John Robinson “Rob” Walker, and  CEFC Infrastructure Investment ,   once a subsidy of a Chinese energy company, are not Biden family companies at all but are listed because they transferred funds to Biden family members. Walker, who at one point was a managing director of Rosemont Seneca Advisors, could not be reached for comment.

One named ‘shell’ company

Rosemont Seneca Thornton LLC   is the one company specifically named in a staff memo as a shell company.   As we have reported , this entity   was created in 2013 to invest in BHR Partners, the Chinese fund. But almost as soon as Rosemont Seneca Thornton was created, the partners decided to dissolve it, according to a person with access to the board minutes. Thornton Group, one of the investors, was run by Jim Bulger, who brought expertise in investing in China. But the original structure had added unexpected regulatory burdens to Thornton, and so Bulger’s lawyers advised that the group split up, this person said. Archer, in his interview, confirmed this to committee investigators, saying the creation of the LLC was “a mistake.”

We’d   previously reported   that Archer kept the vehicle alive for his own real estate business, without telling Hunter Biden or Bulger, according to two people knowledgeable about Archer’s activities. After a Senate report alleged that Rosemont Seneca Thornton received a $3.5 million payment from Baturina, Archer told Bulger that he had used Rosemont Seneca Thornton to transfer funds from Baturina to purchase real estate in Brooklyn, according to a participant in the conversation.

Share this article No subscription required to read Share In his congressional interview, Archer said: “I don’t know what the specifics of the wire were, but it was — quite frankly, it was not supposed to go there, but that’s where it went.” The committee staff allege that some of the $3.5 million went to fund the replacement vehicle for the Chinese investment. Archer, in his interview, said he did not know if that was the case, but he insisted that Baturina was a Rosemont Realty client not connected to Hunter Biden. The staff memo, released after the Archer interview, ignores that comment.

Another (if one can even IMAGINE) article on Trump.

At least we can return to the subject matter HERE.

You know, you guys are just not up to it. Its a skill thing and you dont have it. 

I will await my inevitable ticket for telling you folks the truth. 

There are a number of people here who can "debate" in an intelligent way, but they mostly dont have MAGA beliefs weighing down their thinking. 

There are times when it is embarrassing to be part of this forum.

The truth?

Then you should amend that to read "telling you folks about stuff not in THIS article".

Your expertise at deflecting to Trump is well-established fact. 

No, there is no way anyone else is in your league in that regard.

Congrats.

How would you know? All you ever want to talk about is Trump and I think I can speak for many here, we are tired as hell of it. And that is pretty fucking arrogant John. You aren't quite as much as you think you are.

I will await my inevitable ticket for telling you folks the truth.

And I will laugh 

There are a number of people here who can "debate" in an intelligent way, but they mostly dont have MAGA beliefs weighing down their thinking. 

In other words, you don't really want debate. You want agreement. You want an echo chamber. You and a couple of other badgerers around here.

Indeed. When the themes always turn out to be one sided bullshit, it gets quite boring and I am sure the majority of the 730+ members agree  since they don't show up any more.

Many of the people who are not here anymore left because the conservatives on this site get away with murder and it wasnt pleasant anymore. 

The Republican congressional committees have had seven or eight months to produce evidence that Joe Biden took bribes. The person who allegedly paid the bribes said it never happened.  They have nothing. 

When Trump was impeached over the Ukraine phone call the Democrats produced people directly involved with the situation who testified. The only thing that saved Trump is that the Republicans in the senate would not allow witnesses. 

The conservatives on this site are wrapped up in the right wing media bubble. It may make them feel strength with numbers but it hurts them badly when it comes to citing facts.

Oh bullhsit. Unless the mods previous didn't give a shit, I don't see anyone getting away with anything. Especially if Perrie had anything to do with it. She seems to run a pretty damned tight ship. I think it is more than likely the fact it is all politics and some folks just don't get into the subject. Like the all Trump, all the time, bullshit that started years ago.

Have you noticed how each and every one of the Bidenistas here refuse to even attempt to answer 3 little old questions because even they realize there isn't a plausible explanation for some of the shit the Bidens have pulled.

Maybe they think everyone will ignore reality and facts?

Always demanding that which you never supply.

But great job avoiding answering, exactly as I predicted.

Shel companies, multiple bank accounts, emails, etc.

You simply won't accept any evidence, so why ar5e you demanding some?

Why not take a shot at answering any of the questions so many liberals (all of them, actually) have been steadfastly ignoring?

Surely they are not too tough for smart people to answer.

We now have two people to thank for making a farce out of impeachment:

Reminds me of Second City TV and a skit that John Candy would do - watch things blow up - 'that blowed up real good'  

can't wait to see it 'blowed up real good in their faces'!
