House Approves Impeachment Inquiry Into Joe Biden

New York Post

The House voted Wednesday to formally authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, allowing committee chairmen to compel interviews, obtain documents and further their case that he improperly benefitted from his son’s foreign business dealings.

The vote broke down along party lines, with 221 Republicans in favor of the inquiry and 212 Democrats against.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) told The Post that the White House had forced Republicans to put the resolution up for a vote after “blocking witnesses from testifying” and “withholding thousands of documents,” including emails Biden traded with his son and his son’s business partners while he was vice president, which are held at the National Archives.

The White House told Republicans that it was “not going to acknowledge or … recognize these subpoenas as valid without a full vote of the House,” Emmer said. “[Speaker] Mike Johnson, when faced with that said, ‘All right, well, we’re gonna have to go to court to get these enforced anyway, might as well eliminate any objection that they have before we get there.”

……The first son popped up outside the Capitol Wednesday morning to filibuster to the press after skipping his closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee — potentially putting him in contempt of Congress.

……On Sept. 12, House Republicans initiated their impeachment inquiry without a vote of the full House, pointing to evidence from bank records, transcribed interviews with Hunter’s former business associates as well as documents and testimony from IRS whistleblowers that Joe Biden was aware of his son’s shady business dealings with foreign entities — and that his administration interfered during a five-year probe into them.

The then-vice president met with Hunter’s associates from China, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Russia — directly contradicting statements Biden made during his 2020 presidential campaign and while in office.

……House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has revealed payments and checks that Biden received from Hunter and first brother James Biden — which the first family’s allies have insisted are mere loan repayments.

House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) has also cited the Justice Department’s alleged interference with IRS investigators who sought to determine the president’s role in overseas dealings after the two whistleblowers sat for transcribed interviews and produced records from their case.

 

Bank records don’t lie. Biden’s home in Delaware was listed as the beneficiary address for multiple money wires from China while he was running for President in 2019. The Bidens collected at least $15 million in foreign funds and there is evidence the Justice Department “obstructed” federal agents from pursuing evidence leading to the White House.
