Joe Biden Faces Big Squeeze From All Sides as Investigations Ramp Up
Newsweak ^ | 1/14/23 | Darragh Roche

Posted on 01/14/2023 5:15:35 AM PST by Libloather

resident Joe Biden faces being squeezed on all sides as investigations ramp up both from the new Republican majority in the House of Representatives and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

House Republicans have long promised to probe the Biden administration on a variety of matters, including the business dealings of the president's son Hunter Biden.

That investigation has already begun after Republican Representative James Comer, chair of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, sent a letter to Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen seeking information about the Biden family's financial affairs.

More House investigations are expected into matters including the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the southern border and others.

Those GOP-led probes are now coupled with a DOJ investigation into classified documents found at Biden's former office at the Penn Biden Center, a think tank in Washington, D.C., and his Delaware home.

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Thursday that Robert Hur will serve as special counsel to investigate the matter, adding to the scrutiny the White House is facing.

Political scientists who spoke to Newsweek said that while oversight of the administration was of major importance, Biden will be under pressure as the third year of his term begins.

What is going to happen is as follows:
The special prosecutor (a left wing activist) will find wrong doing by accident but “No reasonable prosecutor would take this to court.”

The democrats and the media (they are one and the same) will attack the republican house investigations as a witch-hunt and to be ignored. Oddly this is a win for the Dems. They do not Biden running again. They have nailed his coffin shut.

They decided to go with that title instead of the draft “Biden’s utter corruption finally catches up with him.”

FJB was always a lying crooked thieving grooming Pedophilia. The case to put him behind bars is already within the intelligence and law enforcement agency. Other countries probably have enough evidence to arrest, prosecute and jail him. I can’t believe enough people voted for the potato.

Biden has served his original purpose, and is now becoming difficult.

They can make do with Harris for the next two years - sure she's an idiot, but probably not much dumber than Biden so they'll make it work.

Whoever replaces Harris as VP will be the Dems POTUS candidate in 2024.

The special council was part of Russia gate. They have blocked Congress from investigating because of ongoing special prosecutor. Nobody will actually investigate, they will be dismissing and avoiding evidence, and running out the clock.

Once again, nothing will come of it because they are deep state puppets.

For Joe and Jill, the game is now short. Someone around here pointed out that when Kamala is sworn in sometime after Jan. 20th, she will have ten years ahead of her as POTUS.

Yes, of course she will. One wouldn't think they'd steal only ONE election, would one?

Kamala is the plan. That she's a dumb ***** only confirms her place in the order of succession; she'll be easier to control.

BACKSTORY....VP Biden, his son Hunter, and Hunter’s daughter Finnegan, arrived in Beijing on an official US visit....... financed by taxpayers.

Throughout the tax-paid trip, Hunter Biden seemed to duck in and out, sometimes joining his father at events and red-carpet arrival ceremonies, and at other times following his own itinerary, presumably with his daughter Finnegan. As is customary, the White House did not provide details about what the vice president’s relatives were doing when they were not part of his public events.

What else Hunter Biden may have done during the tax-paid two-day stop in China is unclear. There are no indications he met with Chinese government officials. Mesires, the spokesman, said that he did not conduct any business during the tax-paid trip — including when he met with Li, the Chinese banker and his nascent business partner.

Several former White House officials who traveled with Biden on the tax-paid trip told NBC News that they didn’t know at the time that Hunter Biden had any business interests in China and were unaware of his private schedule while in Beijing.

Reporters along for the trip also indicated no one was aware of Hunter’s mega business deal in China.

SOURCE—NYPOST.com

Twelve days after Hunter stepped off Air Force Two in Beijing with his VP dad and daughter, on an official tax-paid trip, Hunter’s nascent privarcompany signed a historic deal with the Bank of China, the state-owned financial behemoth often used as a tool of the Chinese government.

The Bank of China had created a first-of-its-kind investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). According to BHR, one of its founding partners was none other than Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC.

It was an unprecedented arrangement: (A) the government of one of America’s fiercest competitors, the Chinese Communist government. going into business with the son of one of America’s most powerful decision-makers, then VP-Biden....Pres Obama’s point man in China.

Chris Heinz (John Kerry’s stepson) claims neither he nor Rosemont Seneca Partners, the firm he had part ownership of, had any role in the deal with Bohai Harvest. Nonetheless, Biden, Archer and the Rosemont name became increasingly involved with China.

Archer became the vice chairman of Bohai Harvest, helping oversee some of the fund’s investments.

Troublingly, some of those investments had major implications for US national security........including the safety and security of Americans.

<><> Ironically, Hunter Biden’s father, the vice president, met earlier with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Washington as part of the Nuclear Security Summit as Obama’s point man on all things China.
<><> In December 2014, Hunter’s company, BHR became an “anchor investor” in the IPO of China General Nuclear Power Corp. (CGN), the Communist state-owned energy company involved in the construction of nuclear reactors.
<><> In April 2016, the US Justice Department would charge CGN with stealing nuclear secrets from the United States — actions prosecutors said could cause “significant damage to our national security.”

Of particular interest to CGN were sensitive, American-made components that, according to experts, resembled components used by the US on its nuclear submarines.

Joe Biden later bragged that he did not discuss Hunter’s business interests on the 20-hour flight to China.Nor would he. The details of a mega-deal...... with larger importance to the Biden family fortunes....... were certainly worked out weeks ahead in VP Biden’s tax-paid office utilizing Biden’s tax-paid staff.

The alacrity with which Hunter seemingly sewed up the billion dollar deal shorty after arriving is significant. Because the details were already hashed out when he boarded Air Force Two. Joe and Hunter surely allowed themselves a high five. No need to discuss the deal on the trip over.....it was fait accompli....thanks to the VP’s tax-paid help.

This thing with Joe going down and Kamala and Gavin taking the reins, not so much a joke anymore. Getting through those two to McCarthy... Never happen unless both are removed at the same time.
