Quote:House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., released a third memo Wednesday about the Biden family’s foreign business dealings, producing bank records purporting to show that Hunter Biden and his business associates received millions in payments from Russian and Kazakhstani oligarchs when his father was vice president.

The 19-page memo, which provides screenshots of redacted bank records, says millions in payments came from Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, as well as Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina and Kazakhstani oligarch Kenes Rakishev, and that then-Vice President Biden attended dinners with Baturina, Rakishev and a representative from Burisma.

"Then-Vice President Biden met—in person, for significant periods of time—with those individuals or their representatives," the memo states. "Then-Vice President Biden joined approximately 20 phone calls on speakerphone with Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates and attended dinners with foreign oligarchs who paid huge sums of money to Hunter Biden. Joe Biden, ‘the brand,’ was the only product the Bidens sold."

And Don Jr. had to sit through an 8 hour interrogation because he had a 20 minute meeting with a Russian attorney wanting to push an adoption deal.

Definitely appears that way. Too bad we can't get people with a shred of honor to run for office.

They are often there and are soon put out of the race by the puppeteers. Only good people that can bankroll themselves have a chance and they are very few and far between. And if someone, good or bad, can bankroll themselves to the presidency they will get the treatment Trump did from the deep state traitors

I have absolutely not one single doubt our intelligence agencies knew all of this in real time.

Is there still an idiot out there who doesn’t understand what is going on with this persecution of Trump? If there is they are to invested in hate to come to reality.

Where is the SC? Soon to be appointed I’m sure to try and stifle the House investigation.

Obviously, in the minds of those defending the behavior of the Biden family, this would be totally acceptable as long as there isn't a deposit shown in the Judge's account. Back when paying players to go to a certain school, boosters NEVER paid the player, they always paid the momma, Uncle, siblings and/or girlfriend. This is the oldest trick in the book and the FBI isn't even investigating any of it.

Possibly Tanq? Other Lefties just bury their head in the sand or look the other way.
