In an effort to excuse Joe Biden's participation in the dubious business activities of his son Hunter, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) attempted to rebut Hunter's former business associate Tony Bobulinski's testimony at a House Oversight Committee by asking him "to name a single crime he witnessed Joe Biden commit."
Bobulinski cited "corruption statutes, RICO, conspiracy, and FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) offenses" when he was interrupted by the Congresswoman's assertion that "RICO is not a crime, it is a category of crimes."
Jason Galanis, another former business associate of Hunter, recounted "Hunter got his father on the phone during a meeting with Yelena Baturina and her husband, Yuri Luzhkov, who was the Mayor of Moscow. Joe came on the phone and said 'be good to my boy.' A few days later a hard commitment of $10 to $20 million to Hunter's business was made. Joe's position as vice-president of the United States was the 'asset' he brought to the table."
Previously, the House investigation had uncovered a web of wire transfers, 20 shell companies, and associates who helped the Biden family business rake in $24 million from foreign nationals over the course of five years. Joe Biden received money from James Biden and Hunter Biden and nine other Biden family members received payments from the family's foreign business activities. It is not clear what actual products or services were provided in exchange for this money or why complex efforts to conceal these transactions were made.
In related news, an IRS whistleblower says that "in 2021, the CIA obstructed the IRS investigation of Hunter Biden's evasion of taxes by refusing to allow agents to interview Patrick Kevin Morris, a Hunter Biden friend who loaned him $7 million to help him pay taxes and living expenses. Without giving any details the CIA just said Morris cannot be a witness."

Congress heard testimony that Hunter was ready to clinch a lucrative influence-peddling
deal and wanted to show how easy it was for an influence-buyer to get “access.”
So Hunter called his VP father on a cell phone used only for influence-peddling.
Hunter said hello, then, ‘hold on, Pops,’ as he put the call on speaker-phone.
‘I am here with our friends that I told you were coming to town,
and we wanted to say hello’,” a witness recounted the conversation.
After exchanging pleasantries with the big buck Russian influence buyers,
vice president Biden ended, by saying: “Ok then, you be good to my boy.”
“Be good to my boy” meant Biden was salivating over the
multi-million dollar Russian bribes about to take place.
Witness: “It was clear to me Hunter’s was a pre-arranged
call with his father meant to impress the Russian investors.
Hunter and Joe did their little act to show that Hunter had 1. immediate access
to his father, and, 2. could call on all the power and prestige of his VP position.”
A few days later, the Russian influence-buyer committed to a
$10-20 million “hard order” in a Hunter-affiliated business.
The Bidens were “in the money.”
Correct. Rico is the swarthy, handsome pool boy. 😊👍
And how does she know this? Because, in Spanish “rico” means rich, delicious, wonderful, etc.
Sounds like a crime to me.
Sounds like a crime to me.
Agree but the Biden’s are above the law like all democrat hacks who comply with their rules.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The media and the rest of the left sit stone faced and insist that it’s not a crime while trying to charge everyone else with “crimes” that had to be manufactured.
RICO Is Not a Crime
It must be true the democrats hold the Senate and WH.
Wow, thanks the ping. It’s credible the goods we have on the public record about Biden corruption.
Thanks for the pings Liz - you’re finding interesting stuff...
And they impeached Trump for saying “Do us a favor [and look into Biden’s corruption]”
So, they impeached the guy who asked about the crime, and made the guy who committed the crime president.
We’re in “Bidenland”......where black is white and white is black.
