Christie: Trump ‘Won’t Be Able to Vote for Himself’ Next Year Because He’ll Be Convicted by Then
Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said Monday on Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto Coast To Coast” that if former President Donald Trump is the GOP nominee, he will not be able to vote for himself because he’ll be a convicted felon.
Christie said, “Neil, you got to be for something in this country if you’re going to run for public office. Let me tell you what I am for, first and foremost. I’m a constitutionalist. I believe in the Constitution over men and women.”
Cavuto said, “But a Constitution says nothing about a convicted felon if it comes to that. Cause he has 97-odd chances to dodge that, but one of them might stick. Then what? What does the constitutionalist in you say?”
Christie said, “How about this? He’s going to go on trial the day before Super Tuesday. I believe he’s going to be convicted in that January 6th trial in Washington, D.C., predominantly because Mark Meadows, as you know, has signed an agreement — his former chief of staff, one of the founders of the Freedom Caucus — is going to testify against him! He’s going to be convicted. Imagine this: If he’s our nominee, he won’t be able to vote for himself.”
Cavuto said, “But he can be president.”
Christie said, “Yes.”
Cavuto said, “And this is what I talk to other politicos — they’re not steeped in the battle like you are. But, they say, look, if he hasn’t been dinged by all of these indictments, a conviction won’t make a difference. You think it might?”
Christie said, “I think a conviction is different for two reasons. One, it won’t be a liberal prosecutor talking about him anymore. It will be his former chief of staff saying he, Mark Meadows, committed crimes — because you wouldn’t need immunity if you hadn’t committed crimes — and that Donald Trump committed crimes on his watch. That’s very different for conservative voters to hear that from Mark Meadows than to hear it from Jack Smith.”
He added, “Secondly, it’s a jury of your peers convicting you. Not, again, the two-tiered system of justice that a lot of people are concerned about. I think it will be very different. The question’s going to be, is there going to be somebody that’s willing to stand up to him until that moment so that it’s not decided? And, that’s why I said recently, I’m in this through the convention.”

Peter Schweizer: 7 Questions for Hunter Biden’s House Testimony (Plus 2 Big Lies at the Heart of His Defense)
As Israel exchanges Palestinian criminals and terrorists for innocent Israelis taken captive by Hamas during the 10/7 massacres, we learned that at least one American was among the freed hostages – a four-year-old little girl named Abigail Edan. Abigail’s parents were murdered by Hamas during the attack.
This is welcome news, of course, and President Joe Biden took some personal credit for her release, but there’s an interesting coincidence that The Drill Down’s hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers can’t ignore: Abigail’s great aunt is Elizabeth (Liz) Naftali, a wealthy real estate investor in Los Angeles’s fashion district and a large contributor to the Democratic Party and to the Biden family. How?
Naftali was among those patrons of the arts who bought the artwork of America’s first son, Hunter Biden, for a reported total of about $1.3 million, according to internal gallery documents reported by Business Insider this summer. President Biden appointed her to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in July 2022.
So, say what you will about Hunter Biden’s artistic merits, but his customer service is first-rate.
And there is more news on the Hunter Biden front. Hunter Biden has offered to testify to Congress on Dec. 13. His “offer” is his way of answering a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee, which requires him to appear, but his lawyer insists upon an open congressional hearing, where committee Democrats could be counted on to join the defense team.
That offer was rejected late Tuesday by the committee’s chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who said: “Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else. That won’t stand with House Republicans. Our lawfully issued subpoena to Hunter Biden requires him to appear for a deposition on December 13.”
Comer did allow that Biden would be allowed to appear at a public hearing somewhere down the road.
As Schweizer explains on the show, this is a matter of legal tactics and picking the best “stage” for Hunter Biden’s appearance. Republicans want him to be deposed in a closed-door session, while Hunter Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell wants a public, televised setting.
Schweizer says there are two big lies in the Biden defense. The first is the argument that Joe Biden didn’t get paid. Committee Republicans insist they have the details of exactly the opposite, in the form of money transfers through shell companies and family members that wound up in his bank account.
The second big lie is that American bribery laws only matter when a direct “I give you a million dollars and you do this specific thing” is proven. Schweizer cites a 2016 email recovered from Hunter’s laptop in which he berates a Mexican businessman named Aleman Magnani as follows:
We have been talking about business deals for 7 years. And I really appreciate you letting me stay at your resort villa . . . but I have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the F’ing White House and the Vice President’s house and the inauguration and then you go completely silent . . . You make me feel like I’ve done something to offend you.
As fans of The Drill Down know, Schweizer broke the story of Hunter Biden’s business dealings back in the 2018 book Secret Empires, and the Government Accountability Institute he runs has continued to report on the details of this saga since then. With that in mind, the hosts suggest seven questions the committee should ask in order to get to the real truth about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings in Ukraine, China, Mexico, and elsewhere that traded on his father’s name and influence while Joe Biden served as Vice President in the Obama administration.
They are:
#1: “Did you use your father’s office to gain commercial opportunities overseas?”
#2: “Did you ever discuss foreign policy matters with your father involving people who were paying you money?”
#3: “Why did your company, Rosemont Seneca, pay for a private phone line for your father while he was Vice President?”
#4: “The Chinese government-connected entities paid you $31 million while your father was Vice President. What did they get in return?”
#5: “Who is Henry Zhao? Who is Chairman Ye? Who is Che Feng?”
#6: “You characterized money sent by Mr. Ye as ‘good faith seed money’ for your business. If so, why were those funds transferred to family members, including Biden children?”
#7: “Did you ever talk to your father or any other officials about the CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) review of Bohai Harvest Rosemont?”

THE BIDEN KLEPTOCRACY
American people deserve to know what China was up to with Joe Biden, especially when Beijing had already shelled out millions of dollars to Biden family members — including millions in set-asides for “the big guy.” What else is on that infamous Hunter Biden laptop? The conflicted Biden Justice Department cannot be trusted to engage in any meaningful oversight on this issue. We need a special counsel now.
TOM FITTON - JUDICIAL WATCH
Joe Biden Got Monthly Payments From Hunter’s China-Funded Account
Follow the money.
Joe Biden and his people claimed that he had nothing to do with Hunter’s business dealings. And then it turned out that Joe met with Hunter’s clients and dropped by business meetings. And Hunter sent demands for payments to China in his father’s name.
The fallback argument was that there was no evidence of a paper trail showing that Joe Biden was getting paid.
Then came the documents showing a few payments labeled as “loan repayments”. And those were just dismissed as loan repayments. Now we have a trail of steady payments as exposed by Rep. James Comer and the House Oversight Committee.
Today, House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) released subpoenaed bank records revealing Hunter Biden’s business entity, Owasco PC, made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden. Hunter Biden is currently under an investigation by the Department of Justice for using the Owasco PC corporate account for tax evasion and other serious crimes…
Financial records obtained show Hunter Biden’s business account, Owasco PC, received payments from Chinese-state linked companies and other foreign nationals and companies.
This is a series of monthly payments which means it’s not a one-off.
An Oversight Committee aide told Breitbart News the committee is aware of at least three monthly payments for $1,380 on the following dates:
September 17, 2018
October 15, 2018
November 15, 2018
Previously, Hunter Biden had stated, “I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family Fro (sic) 30 years. It’s really hard. But don’t worry unlike Pop I won’t make you give me half your salary.”
Previously, in How Joe Biden Got Paid, I speculated that the arrangement had been set up for plausible deniability in which Joe Biden ‘invested’ in family businesses by loaning them money and then received loan repayments to avoid any direct entanglement in the stuff Hunter and James Biden, his brother, were doing.
Rather than directly investing in family enterprises, Joe Biden might have invested in the family members themselves in the form of personal loans. Those loans were used to finance new business opportunities that monetized access to Joe Biden. When payments came in, Joe Biden got his cut in the form of a “loan repayment”.
While family loans have to be disclosed to the IRS, they don’t have to appear in federal disclosures. For example, the House Ethics Committee states that, “loans made by the filer on which the filer is charging interest must be disclosed, unless the borrower is the spouse, parent, sibling, or child of the filer.” Biden had found a way to take money and avoid disclosing it.
The best way to think about Biden Inc. is that Joe may have been ‘staking’ family members who then went out and used his name and even his personal appearances to do what he could not do personally. The product, as we have already learned from previous messages, was Joe Biden, but he was also the personal bank financing the familial exploitation of his office.
Owasco had been at the center of previous Chinese financial transfers to Joe.
On August 8, 2017, Northern International Capital, a Chinese company affiliated with CEFC, sent $5 million to Hudson West III, a joint venture established by Hunter Biden and CEFC associate Gongwen Dong. That same day, Hudson West III sent $400,000 to Owasco, P.C., an entity owned and controlled by Hunter Biden. On August 14, 2017, Hunter Biden wired $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, a company owned by President Biden’s brother James and sister-in-law Sara Biden. On August 28, 2017, Sara Biden withdrew $50,000 in cash from Lion Hall Group. Later the same day, she deposited it into her and James Biden’s personal checking account. On September 3, 2017, Sara Biden cut a check to Joe Biden for $40,000 for a “loan repayment.”
Whistleblowers revealed how the DOJ had worked to sabotage any investigation of Owasco.
On December 10th, 2020, the prosecutorial team met again to discuss the next steps. One piece of information that came out of the day of action was that Hunter Biden vacated the Washington, D.C., office of Owasco. His documents all went into a storage unit in northern Virginia. The IRS prepared an affidavit in support of a search warrant for the unit, but AUSA Wolf once again objected. My special agent in charge and I scheduled a call with United States Attorney Weiss on December 14th just to talk about that specific issue. United States Attorney Weiss agreed that if the storage unit wasn’t accessed for 30 days we could execute a search warrant on it. No sooner had we gotten off the call then we heard AUSA Wolf had simply reached out to Hunter Biden’s defense counsel and told him about the storage unit, once again ruining our chance to get to evidence before being destroyed, manipulated, or concealed.
Now we know why they were so worried.

“What I am outlining is fact. I know it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family,” Bobulinski said. “I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to ‘the big guy’ in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden. The other ‘JB’ referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe’s brother. Hunter Biden called his dad ‘the Big Guy’ or ‘my Chairman,’ and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing. I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.”
Since Biden’s inauguration, the University of Pennsylvania has disclosed at least $14 million in donations from China or Hong Kong, the Free Beacon reported last week. The names of these donors have yet to be disclosed by the Department of Education, breaking the precedent of prior administrations which published foreign donor names in a public database.
James Comer: Joe Biden Received ‘Direct Monthly Payments’ from Hunter’s ‘Owasco PC’ Business Account
President Joe Biden received “direct monthly payments” from Hunter Biden’s “Owasco PC” business account, which received “payments from Chinese-state linked companies and other foreign nationals and companies,” House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) told Breitbart News on Monday.
Comer’s revelation amplifies concerns raised by Republicans that Joe Biden is compromised. It also provides more evidence to support an impeachment inquiry into the president.

An Oversight Committee aide told Breitbart News the committee is aware of at least three monthly payments for $1,380 on the following dates:
- September 17, 2018
- October 15, 2018
- November 15, 2018
Owasco PC is an entity involved in many complicated wire transfers of the Biden business, Breitbart News previously reported:
- Joe Biden received $40,000 in “China money” from his brother disguised as loan repayment.
- An email from a bank money laundering investigator flagged concerns about the “China money” that ultimately funded the $40,000.
- The Justice Department is investigating Hunter Biden and Owasco PC for tax violations.
“This wasn’t a payment from Hunter Biden’s personal account but an account for his corporation that received payments from China and other shady corners of the world,” Comer said. “Joe Biden claimed there was an ‘absolute wall’ between his official government duties and his family’s influence peddling schemes. This was a lie.”
“At this moment, Hunter Biden is under an investigation by the Department of Justice for using Owasco PC for tax evasion and other serious crimes,” Comer said. “And based on whistleblower testimony, we know the Justice Department made a concerted effort to prevent investigators from asking questions about Joe Biden.”
