LOL I was reading their fact check and started laughing. "Yeah, this is true, but ...."
CNN Fact Check Hilariously Proves Case 13 Sep 2023 ~~ By Matt Margolis
for Biden Impeachment Inquiry
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
