CNN confirms Biden family received $20 million from various shell companies.

[ColonelAngus]

WOW.

CNN admits it.

The media is turning on Biden BIG TIME!

 

[Nostra]

They know the Vegetable can't win, so the rats are jumping ship.

Oh, and still no evidence........

 

[Yarddog]

WOW.

CNN admits it.

The media is turning on Biden BIG TIME!

Right.. and still Liberals will say there is no hint of anything that would require an inquiry.

 

[marvin martian]

WOW.

CNN admits it.

The media is turning on Biden BIG TIME!

They've retreated to their last and final defensive position; yes, the entire Biden family and most of their business associates are corrupt, and committed dozens if not hundreds of financial crimes, but Joe was unaware of all of it and never benefitted from anything.

How long do you think that position will hold up?

lol

 

[kaz]

WOW.

CNN admits it.

The media is turning on Biden BIG TIME!

It's not CNN "admitting" it, that would be responsible journalism, which CNN doesn't do.

They are seeing that if it's Biden, Trump is our next President and the clock is ticking. Republicans have to drag out the impeachment inquiry until it's too late to change candidates

 

[OKTexas]

WOW.

CNN admits it.

The media is turning on Biden BIG TIME!

Bribery statutes don't require the person being bribed actually receive monies directly, if his family received a direct benefit, that's enough to sustain charges. The commie media is trying to spin the story, claiming xiden had no responsibility, he did.

.

 

[kaz]

Right.. and still Liberals will say there is no hint of anything that would require an inquiry.

Republicans have no evidence! I learned that from KRP

CNN Fact Check Hilariously Proves Case ​

for Biden Impeachment Inquiry​

CNN Fact Check Hilariously Proves Case for Biden Impeachment Inquiry

pjmedia.com

13 Sep 2023 ~~ By Matt Margolis

I recently wrote that the White House is terrified of the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
Well, here’s more proof. CNN, which pretty much always has Biden’s back, attempted to fact-check House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s announcement launching the impeachment inquiry.
And it’s hilarious.
To start, CNN claims that McCarthy made “several unproven claims” during his announcement and then attempts to disprove them.
First, CNN attempts to debunk the claim that the Biden family and associates got $20 million through shell companies.
CNN’s response:

Facts First: This is true about Joe Biden’s family and associates, but there is no public evidence to date that the president personally received any money.​

So, to clear this up, CNN doesn’t even attempt to deny that the Biden family got millions from foreign sources or to come up with an explanation for the use of the shell companies. In fact, the lack of journalistic curiosity about these shell companies is quite alarming. We’ve been pointing out that these companies had no apparent purpose but to launder foreign money before distributing it to members of the Biden family. Does having 20 shell companies to filter millions of dollars through sound like legitimate business to CNN? What were these companies selling, if not the product of Joe Biden’s influence?
~Snip~
So, yeah, they’re basically admitting via clever euphemisms that Biden did, as McCarthy pointed out, lie. Good one.
CNN essentially admits all the key facts for the basis of the inquiry, but pretends the evidence doesn’t prove anything. Well, that’s what an impeachment inquiry is for. Even if we pretend this evidence isn’t “proof,” it’s objectively a solid basis for a thorough investigation.
Congrats, CNN. You just justified the impeachment inquiry… even if you didn’t realize it.


Commentary:
It doesn't matter. Even if Joe Biden, personally, presumably did not receive bribe money, if his family did, the the Bribery charge is valid.
In a court of law, having your money filter through 20 shell companies to family members with no actual business activity is called “prima facie” evidence of money laundering.
Filtering bribe money through family members is an age-old method of delivering bribes that mob members also have been doing. RICO laws cover these illegal acts

They've only got about a month to replace him without massive party infighting - unless his health goes totally kaput.

Fact-checking McCarthy’s claims while launching Biden impeachment inquiry​

https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/13/politics/fact-check-mccarthy-biden-impeachment-claims/index.html

13 Sep 2023 ~~ By Annie Grayer, Marshall Cohen, & Daniel Dale

Republicans argue that opening an inquiry will give them the authority to uncover more information, so it’s possible they’ll find additional facts that are not publicly known at this point. But past impeachment inquiries in recent history have typically started with more publicly available evidence.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the claims at the heart of the impeachment inquiry that McCarthy referenced on Tuesday.

Claim: Biden family and associates got $20 million through shell companies​

“Bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to the Biden family members and associates through various shell companies,” McCarthy said.
Facts First: This is true about Joe Biden’s family and associates, but there is no public evidence to date that the president personally received any money.

Claim: An informant alleged the Biden family got a bribe ​

“Even a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family,” McCarthy said.
Facts First: It’s true that an informant gave a tip of this nature to the FBI in 2020, and that the bureau had viewed him as a credible informant. But the underlying allegation that the Biden family was given a bribe is totally unproven; the informant was merely reporting something he said he had been told by a Ukrainian businessman.

"So, to clear this up, CNN doesn’t even attempt to deny that the Biden family got millions from foreign sources or to come up with an explanation for the use of the shell companies. In fact, the lack of journalistic curiosity about these shell companies is quite alarming. We’ve been pointing out that these companies had no apparent purpose but to launder foreign money before distributing it to members of the Biden family. Does having 20 shell companies to filter millions of dollars through sound like legitimate business to CNN? What were these companies selling, if not the product of Joe Biden’s influence?"

Claim: Biden participated in calls and dinners with son’s business partners​

“Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions – dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his son’s and his son’s business partners,” McCarthy said.
Facts First: McCarthy’s claim omits key context about what was – and wasn’t – reportedly discussed in the calls and dinners. A Hunter Biden associate testified that even though Joe Biden was on these calls and at these dinners, he didn’t discuss business. And Republicans have not presented any evidence that Joe Biden himself benefited financially from his appearances at the dinners or on the calls.

Rebuttal by PJ`s Matt Margolis
What this fails to mention is that Devon Archer testified that Joe Biden’s participation on the calls was critical to selling “the Biden brand.” It also doesn’t mention the fact that Joe Biden spent years denying having spoken to or having met Hunter’s business associates. In addition to the phone calls and dinners, White House logs show he met with Hunter’s business associates multiple times.

That CNN fact checker frankly spells out a lot of details and frankly isn't pretty to the Xidens.

It actually established quite well the need for the impeachment probe
