| Biden family 'got $1 MILLION from ROMANIA' while Joe vowed to clean up corruption: GOP 'influence-peddling' probe into $10M in foreign cash reveals Hunter set up 15 companies AFTER his dad became VP and lay out how money came from China |

| From a comment and link today by Skid: [The Daily Mail, where America gets it's news] Republicans are digging in on over $10 million received by Biden family members from foreign actors, including previously undisclosed $1 million in Romanian-linked payments, and a 'web' of 20 companies created while President Joe Biden was vice president and pushing anti-corruption efforts abroad. Ok, so someone please tell me Obama knew absolutely nothing about any of this. On Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Republicans led by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., released a 'Second Records Memorandum' that expands on information it received from subpoena returns as the committee continues its investigation into the Biden family's business practices. The memo specifically outlines the Biden family's ties to Romanian 'influence peddling' and a web of LLCs created while Biden was vice president. It also accuses President Biden for a 'lack of transparency' regarding his family's receipt of funds from China, which he has said are 'not true.' It details the efforts by the family to hide, conceal and confuse sources of money - including more China money, according to a committee aide. 'It is inconceivable that the president did not know it, and the White House refuses to correct the President's statement ... the president is now using the federal government to run interference for his family and his own role in these schemes,' said Comer during a press conference announcing the memo Wednesday. During Biden's time as vice president, there were 20 companies affiliated with certain Biden family members created intentionally with a 'complicated corporate structure' the memo states. Hunter Biden and his associates, including Rob Walker, formed 'at least 15' of those companies, after Biden took the office of the vice president in 2009. Several of those entities including Owasco P.C. - which Hunter owned - Hudson West III, LLC, Robinson Walker, LLC, and Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC, accepted funds from foreign companies ranging from $5,000 to $3 million, the committee says. |

| #11 I think Joe meant that he was going to cleanup on corruption. There is a fine line between clever and stupid. |

| #9 Good point on a Harris pardon. I'm sure the DNC is burning the midnight oil with many lucubrations over the idea of pardoning Hunter and its effect on the, a-hem, "elections" in 2024. Of course, the toothless GOP needs to grow a pair. |

| #8 /\ "All crashing down" and the Justice Dept. remains silent. The bastids are complicit! They knew wat was going on and did nothing. Their calculation was, Biden would take it all to his grave....and he still may. I'm looking for a soon resignation, immediately followed by a Harris pardon. |

| #6 Funny how the FBI keeps coming up, this time, Louie Freeh. Just shows that it doesn't matter who the director is/was. The Bureau is rotten to the core. |
