This NYT Headline Captures the Larger Liberal Media Reaction to the Biden Impeachment Report
TownhallAUG 14 2024
Republican members of the US House released a report Monday accusing Pres. Joe Biden of enriching himself and his family through foreign business dealings. The allegations, which they claim are impeachable offenses date back to 2014, during his time as vice president.
The allegations include "abuse of power" and "obstruction of justice or obstruction of Congress" because, according to the congressmen, Biden participated in and kept hidden the alleged $27M "influence-peddling racket."
The report claims Biden's son Hunter played a role in these deals, including receiving $3.5M from Russian businesswoman Yelena Baturina. One of Hunter's business partners claimed Joe Biden joined a phonecall with Baturina and told her to "be good to my boy."
The evidence in this report is clear as day, showing $27M worth of money transfers going from foreign oligarchs to Hunter Biden's businesses, and eventually to Biden family members. These bribery deals — made with Russian, Chinese, Romanian, Ukrainian, and Kazakh oligarchs and officials — were conducted with the blessing, and for the enrichment of Biden while he was Vice President. It's sad that it's taken so long for these crimes to be exposed.
This report shows the opposite of what Republicans claim it does. When the GOP points to phone calls between Biden and his son, all they're doing is proving that the president was committed to staying in touch with his youngest son in the aftermath of his eldest son's death. Another so-called revelation in this report is that Biden donated $1M to charity—not very corrupt. The GOP wasted 20-months and hundreds of pieces of paper to prove absolutely nothing.
