During his appearance outside the U.S. Capitol this morning, Hunter Biden insisted that his father "was not financially involved" in his business dealings:
Hunter Biden added that "my father was not financially involved in my business," saying he was not involved in his dealings with Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, or his Chinese investments and others in the U.S.
"No evidence to support that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen," Hunter Biden said.
One more time:

Did you catch that shift?
It didn't escape notice from Republican Rep. Jim Jordan:
.@RepJamesComer on Hunter Biden: "We've never mocked his addiction."
Rep. @Jim_Jordan on Joe Biden: "He's been involved, just not financially. That is a huge departure from everything they have said now for the last three-and-a-half years." pic.twitter.com/FPCLrKqhlp

Talking point pivot detected!
Rep. @Jim_Jordan on Hunter Biden: "He said his father was not financially involved in the business...another change in the story...We think he should come in. If he doesn't we're going to move forward with contempt proceedings." pic.twitter.com/z9Ggrxn7Tc

That shift is quite amazing considering this all started three or four years ago with Joe Biden saying he never even spoke to his son about his overseas business dealings.
"Financially" is hilariously specific.

not *financially* involved is a very specific word choice https://t.co/B0Rum0jQDz

Note the legalese wording.
This leaves room for Joe was involved, just not *financially.
All those payments to Joe were just repayments of personal loans, you see. https://t.co/T5FASbTGY4

And it's been pointed out previously that if Hunter and Jim Biden were the ones making the money, why would Joe have to give THEM loans? This just doesn't add up.

I get the weaselly legalize angle, but it just seems to me, if you get a check (even for a loan repayment), you are involved ‘financially’.
Not only is Hunter not the brightest bulb on the tree, it burned out long ago with the help of illegal drug over use.
i think joe biden just announced hunter has been very depressed soon.
The banks are REQUIRED to ask the SOURCE of those funds, in the course of the transaction.
What LIE did Joe report?
“Financially “ involved Other ways to be involved that don’t mean DIRECT financial payment.
Next up a bit more clarification: “Joe was involved (just not ‘financially’) on the Blue Moon. But it was an innocent phone call.”
“AOC Says Republicans ‘Don’t Have a Single Witness’ to Any Biden Wrongdoing”
Marxist can lie all they want when the media protect them.
1) A long standing business partner of Hunter has testified and provided evidence
2) IRS agents have testified and have evidence
3) DOJ attorney has testified and provided evidence.
"Single witness" means one witness. You have cited three or more witnesses. Therefore, AOC is not lying. She is, however, a leading candidate for the prestigious William J. Clinton Doublespeak award for 2023.
Besides she can’t count to three!
So what Hunter is saying is that JoeTatoe was TOTALLY involved in Hunter's business.
Remember, this is the guy who lied on his form 4473, lied to the IRS, lied to state taxing authorities, and lied to pretty much everyone else.
Ol’ Horseface lies like a Marxist.
Great Jordan and Comer,SO NOWWHAT! He stuck it up your butts! He goes home no worries lets the media trash feckless republicans AGAIN!
When Trump advisor Peter Navarro refused to testify by subpoena,the FBI arrested him at the airport,shackled him and hand cuffed him and threw him in jail!
The freaking republicans crap their pants! I’m sick and tired of the cowards! You guys are worthless
What is a financially responsible person?
Being financially responsible involves making a plan for your money and sticking to it as much as possible. Controlling where your money goes means you could save for emergencies, stay out of debt and even build good credit. All of these things could help you achieve financial security.Apr 24, 2023
maybe he wasn’t “financially responsible”, but he gained financially...
We all feel the frustration, but vilifying the guys on our side has us in a circular firing squad. Jordan and Comer are workhorses, but their hands are tied. They can only ask the DOJ to take legal action; they do not have the power to do it.
That shift is quite amazing considering this all started three or four years ago with Joe Biden saying he never even spoke to his son about his overseas business dealings.
Biden’s juggling grenades pin falling out.
Yep. Typical Clintonspeak.
What he said: “I never told anybody to lie. Not a single time.”
What he meant: “I told people to lie more than once. “
