The Biden Crime Family (a.k.a. "Biden is an honest guy"

[whell]

From a CNN report aired yesterday (transcript here):

BROWN (PAMELA BROWN, CNN CHIEF INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT ): But while Joe Biden swears by his name in politics, his son and two brothers spent years trying to benefit from the Biden name. It's all now the focus of a Republican-led congressional investigation.


REP. JAMES COMER (R-KY): We want to know what the Biden administration is trying to hide from the American people and why they are not being transparent.

BROWN: Republican Congressman James Comer now chairs the House Oversight Committee and has set his sights on Joe Biden's son, Hunter. A mysterious laptop now in the hands of the FBI and long held conspiracy theories about President Joe Biden and what he does or doesn't know. J.

(Joe) BIDEN: I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period.

BROWN: Despite his denials, a CNN review of the laptop data, as well as other public material, shows that Joe Biden did interact with some of his son's associates while serving as vice president, though it's unclear exactly what was discussed. One example, the Republicans cite Miguel Aleman Magnani, a Mexican businessman and son of the former president who Hunter was trying to woo. In 2014, Aleman Magnani and his dad were photographed at the White House with then-Vice President Biden. In a later email, Hunter Biden reminds Aleman Magnani of the favors he's done for him. (BROWN quoting from a Hunter Biden email) 'We've been talking about business deals and partnerships for seven years. I have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the effing White House and the vice president's house and the inauguration'.

Hunter Biden bluntly acknowledged the power of the Biden name in a memoir writing that the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, which put him on its board, considered my last name gold.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't think that there's a lot of things that wouldn't have happened if my last name wasn't Biden.

BROWN: Joe Biden's brothers have repeatedly referenced him in their private dealings. Frank Biden, a developer of for-profit charter schools, has invoked his brother in trying to convince local officials to approve his projects, like in Sunrise, Florida, where he told the city in 2015 to trust his venture.

FRANK BIDEN, PRESIDENT BIDEN'S BROTHER: Not because of Frank but because of the honor of being the brother of a guy I think we all know and love.

BROWN: In 2021, at a gathering of medical professionals, he made this pledge.

F. BIDEN: The bully pulpit that I have as a result of the privilege of being associated with my brother, Joey.

I'll do everything in my power to support you to get the job done, to get federal dollars to your research.

BROWN: Frank Biden told CNN there has been zero interaction between his brother's public office and his private business, adding do I engage in any way in quid pro quo on any level? Absolutely not.

Uh huh. Right.

Yawn. I thought you were a proponent of allowing all investigations and legal proceedings to be completed before opining on someone's guilt or innocence.

PS - If you're really concerned about politicians' families trading on their names, wait until you hear about the Trump family. It'll blow your mind.

Except if their last name is Biden.

All I did was post a transcript from a CNN news story. I'm not accusing anyone of criminal behavior. The title of the thread is a knock off of the compassion thread about Trump. I can certainly understand, however, that elements of that transcript might lead you to believe that there was criminal behavior on the part of the Bidens...

BTW, and I've said this before, there's far more compelling evidence that there were shenanigans going on involving significant $$$ with the Bidens benefiting from political office and connections than there ever was with Trump.

You truly are delusional. Nobody in history has monetized the presidency more than Trump.

Name-calling again? You're so precious.

Trump was subject to multiple investigations spanning many years. He's been indicted for something that the US Justice dept reportedly reviewed and elected not to pursue.

An investigation into Biden and his family's activities is only a couple months old. Patience.

DOJ chose not to prosecute Trump due to Barr's interference in the investigation per the former US Attorney for the SDNY, Jeffrey Berman (also a Trump appointee), who was fired by Barr in a very shady way for not kowtowing to Trump. They did, however, prosecute Michael Cohen for crimes committed under the direction of and for the benefit of Trump (per the Cohen charging docuuments).

Not that this fella is one of those people.
