Government Corruption
Chaffetz: Joe And Hunter Biden Basically Committed ''Treason''
2023-05-11
[REALCLEARPOLITICS] JASON CHAFFETZ: This is corruption at the highest level, to not only enrich the Biden family en masse, but also corruption that is an intelligence security risk for the United States of America.

If you look at the money and size, particularly in China, we are talking about people with direct ties to the highest levels of the Chinese government where Hunter Biden is involved and engaged in securing, for instance, one of the biggest cobalt mines in the world.

So Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. S I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass....
 goes with Hunter Biden to China in 2013, and less than two weeks after they return from that trip, suddenly Hunter Biden gets all of this money? Are you kidding me? What other evidence do we need of treason and those types of things?

And don't tell me that Joe Biden is oblivious to this. At one point Joe Biden is going on Air Force Two with Hunter Biden and Hunter Biden brings his business partner Jeff Cooper on the flight and there are direct emails saying we want to do business when we land in Mexico.

As it relates to what is going on in Romania, how in the world can they justify? This guy in Romania was convicted of bribery. And so he engages the U.S. Firm, which just happens to be Hunter Biden, to lean on the Department of Justice to make sure that they can reduce the sentencing and the prosecution there in Romania. Louis Freeh, the former F.B.I. Director under Clinton, says thank you to Biden and deposits $1 hundred thousand in the Biden grandkids' account.

What other evidence does the media need and does Congress need?

If they just brush this under the rug and don't pay any attention to it and don't ask the president, that White House press room should erupt this afternoon. Anything short of that is just so bad.

#9  I'm beginning to wonder if Jim Jordan has replaced Trey Gowdy in the windbag/hot air department.

#7  Overturning an election (despite plentiful evidence of cheat) and arresting a President or son (despite plentiful evidence of corruption) are thing so large and historic i think many simply balk at getting involved. Our political class is not made of stern stuff and most are corrupt themselves after all.

#4  Jason "Tim Curry" Chaffetz and Trey Gowdy Doody. Two guys the GOP is better off without.

#3  #1 AGREED! You don't need those jokers from a football game with the poles and chain, a surveying team or laser surgeon the better to micro-split hairs.

It's pretty simple and obvious to all. Past a point you make a choice. Where's COL Travis when we need him?

#2  Well, I guess it depend how we should define "treason".

Treason refers to the betrayal of one’s own country by attempting to overthrow the government through waging war against the state or materially aiding its enemies.

Are we at war with China (forget even about a declared one)? No.

China is the 2nd or 3rd largest trading partner of the US, if I recall correctly. Pretty tough to claim "enemy" status.

Is Romania an "enemy", a NATO ally?

#1  Not sure why we need quotes around treason. If Joe is serving the aims of international interests to the detriment of the American people while holding a public office, it is treason. The leftists can have Websters edit their definition all they want, but the fundamental truth remains. Joe should one day walk up on a stage that he won’t need directions to exit.
