Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

Show proof that transfers were made from a Hunter Biden / Devon Archer entity to an account controlled by Joe Biden and I’ll believe it.

Phillip Bump, WaPo:

“On Wednesday, Comer released a new assessment of payments made to Hunter Biden, Archer and others while Biden and Archer were in business together. In testimony given to the Oversight Committee last week, Archer explained that their work centered on raising money and making connections in Washington, D.C. — but that while Hunter Biden encouraged people to think that he was bringing his father’s clout into play, Joe Biden was not actually engaged in their work. The new articulation of the money that was paid to Biden and Archer reflects that; none of the $20 million that Comer claims went to “the Biden family and their business associates” — an intentionally loose description of the recipients — was shown to have gone to Joe Biden.


That’s unquestionably an ongoing challenge for Comer’s efforts to impugn President Biden with his son’s business activity. In the abstract, anyway; Comer’s ideological allies are eager to collapse Hunter Biden’s income (and even Archer’s) into a broader pool of “money to the Bidens” in which Joe Biden is somehow implicated. But the lack of payments made to the president is even more problematic for the Comer-Grassley claim about bribes. After three months, a period that clearly included more assessments of income received by Hunter Biden (though a lot of the $20 million was already reported), there’s not a whiff of the alleged $5 million paid to Joe Biden by Zlochevsky. It’s less than a phantom.”

This is the definition of a "silent partner". The whole thing was designed not to lead back to the "big guy". Hell they had to make up nicknames. Despite being designed by a coke addict, this confidence scheme protected the "old guy" better than I expected.

First of all, we all think Hunter Biden is a dirtbag. I don't think anyone actually likes the guy. Well, except Joe. But dads have a hard time not supporting their sons. It is what it is.

The issue at hand here is that we watched the Trump family line its pockets for four years -- not just the Kushner stuff. Trump charging the Secret Service top dollar stay in his hotels. Ivanka getting Chinese trademarks. All sorts of stuff that reeks of nepotism and corruption. All the while claiming to "drain the swap". The Republican party never questioned this. They just accepted it.

The hypocrisy of the right to look the other way at this Trump stuff -- which is easily in the BILLIONS, not millions -- while going after a drug-addled Hunter, who is small peanuts compared to what the Trumps did, is incredible. How the hell do you people reconcile this?

Don;t you guys want to get corruption out of politics? I certainly do. But what you are doing to protect Joe Biden is beyond the pale. I could never sleep at night if I covered up for someone like you have covered up for Biden.
