GOP Rep. Tenney Says the ‘Real Story’ Is Joe Biden Used His Son Hunter for ‘Money Laundering, Tax Evasion’
Nikki Haley: ‘Looks Like’ Biden’s Love for Hunter Greater than His Love for America
Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “America Reports” that it “looks like” President Joe Biden’s “love for his son” Hunter Biden was “greater than the love for his country.”
Monday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Ana Navarro said, “The Hunter Biden story, the scandal, the this the that, it is also the story of a father’s love. Joe Biden has never and will never give up on his son Hunter and will never treat him lesser then. So he has a father first. Take it or leave it.”
Haley said, “First of all lets say, ‘Ok is the love for his son greater than the love for his country?’ Because that’s what it looks like. It smells bad Sandra. There’s clearly something there and there’s clearly something that needs to be found out. This is about accountability. Whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat, we’ve gotta have accountability. If you don’t address this, it will happen again, and we can’t have a situation where we think a president is compromised.”
She added, “We can’t have a situation where we have a son going rogue, raising money, threatening, or saying that he can get things that he can’t. And so I think if the Department of Justice can’t handle this, then I think Congress is right to go ahead and step forward. We’ve got to start taking these kinds of issues seriously and we’ve gotta bring ethics back to D.C.”

GOP Rep. Tenney Says the ‘Real Story’ Is Joe Biden Used His Son Hunter for ‘Money Laundering, Tax Evasion’
Representative Claudia Tenney (R-NY) said Monday on Fox Business Network’s “Morning with Maria” she believed that the “real story” was President Joe Biden “used his son” Hunter Biden to enrich himself illegally.
Tenney said, “The FBI is dirty. These are dirty cops. This what is happened during this investigation. The Department of Justice engaged basically in obstructing justice, in preventing the story from coming out. They interfered to make sure that these IRS agents, who by the way were investigating a pornography ring, somehow end up with Hunter Biden’s story. This is an important part of the mix too. We can all focus on Hunter Biden but the real story here is Joe Biden and how Hunter Biden was the proxy for Joe and the family. This started, as Peter Schweizer pointed out, back when Joe Biden was vice president. He was peddling his influence, using his son.”
She added, “While he’s vice president we are seeing influence peddling we are seeing violation of ethics laws, violation of campaign financing. Then he becomes a private citizen but they’re still trying to get this money from Hunter Biden to Joe and this is how the relationship started and continues. So while he’s a private citizen this becomes money laundering, tax evasion and all those things that these IRS agents really stumbled upon, these whistleblowers that we heard from.”
Tenney added, “This has been going on for years, using his position to protect himself and also using his position, Joe Biden, to enrich himself and his family.”

Exclusive — Darrell Issa: Joe Biden Using White House Counsel as His Personal Lawyer to Stonewall Media on Alleged Corruption
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, questioned on Tuesday if the White House turned corruption allegations against President Joe Biden into a strictly legal matter when it referred reporters to the administration’s counsel.
“The White House is trying to use the president’s counsel as Biden’s personal lawyer to shield questions from the media,” Issa’s Communications Director, Jonathan Wilcox, told Breitbart News. “If Biden wants to lawyer up, that’s fine. But he’s going to have to hire his own criminal attorney.”
On Friday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer reporters’ questions about whether President Joe Biden was part of a shakedown on a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked business partner with Hunter Biden.
“Yes or no, was the president involved in that shakedown attempt?” New York Post’s Steven Nelson asked.
“Steven, Steven, I just answered the question. It’s not up to you how I answer the question,” she replied. “I just answered the question by telling you my colleagues at the White House counsel have dealt with this, and I would refer you to them.”
Wilcox told Breitbart News the White House’s action of referring reporters to the White House counsel begs a follow-up question from the media: Are questions of alleged corruption by President Joe Biden a strictly legal matter?
“This is the strategy everyone uses to not answer questions about a legal matter — refer to your lawyer who obviously can’t comment. But the White House counsel isn’t the president’s lawyer … but the lawyer for the presidency,” he said.
The discrepancy is the motivation behind Issa’s Sunday post on Twitter when it became apparent to Issa that Joe Biden is illegitimately hiding behind White House lawyers. “Joe Biden has officially lawyered up,” Issa said. “This is what a real scandal looks like.”
“The White House has no right to use its counsel to stonewall the media and shield itself from scrutiny and accountability. Congressman Issa will remove that shield and get the truth. He’s done it before,” Wilcox added.
The scrutiny over the White House’s response comes as Hunter Biden’s lawyer admitted the 2017 WhatsApp text demanding money from a CCP-linked businessman while “sitting” next to his dad was indeed Hunter’s message.
Breitbart News reported the Biden family business received $5.1 million within ten days of Hunter Biden’s message to a CCP-linked businessman who worked with Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC Energy, according to the 2020 Senate report on the Biden family.

The whistleblower also noted that Hunter Biden’s friend, a wealthy Hollywood celebrity lawyer named Kevin Morris, had paid off the $2.2 million that Hunter Biden owed the IRS for years 2014 through 2019.
How Can the Dems Get Rid of Joe?
The Biden hits just keep coming. Trust in government is collapsing. Americans are starting to wonder what passes for "normal" in Washington, if this is a return to normalcy. According to Pew Research, only about 20 percent of Americans trust the government to do what's right. That leaves 80 percent who expect government to do what is wrong — as in morally and ethically wrong.
Joe's fundraising is also lackluster. Politico reports that the Dems are concerned that Joe isn't inspiring their donor class anymore. If this keeps up, the party isn't going to have the money it needs to steal the next election. Democrats are finding out that donors don't spend as much on influence when it looks as though influence is going to be in short supply.
That brings me to Joe's polling. The cost of living is up, wages are down, and personal savings are evaporating. An NBC poll found that 71 percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong path — and they know who the trail boss is. So Joe's numbers are down. Pew Research reports that his approval has fallen to 37 percent. Unless Joe finds a way to spend us out of economic collapse, or buys a Men in Black neuralyzer to wipe the last three years of our memory, public opinion is not likely to improve much.
Then there are the congressional investigations. The Dems should have watched a few of those forensic crime shows. Apparently, they didn't know that moving money around leaves an audit trail. But the Republicans knew it, and they're using their shiny new subpoena powers to follow it. And if bank records aren't enough, it turns out there are still a few ethical people working in government. The whistleblowers are coming forward. They may have been able to stomach a bit of Washington's shenanigans, but what they're seeing now is causing too much nausea to bear. They're letting the House investigators know where to send the subpoenas. The money for influence scandal is growing by the day.
As my grandmother would say, the Dems are in a pickle. Panic is beginning to set in. They're looking forward to 2024 with no successes, inadequate money, voter pessimism, and a candidate who can't walk across a stage without falling or shaking hands with Harvey the invisible rabbit.
Three years into the mess they created, the Dems are coming to the realization that they didn't hitch their wagon to a weak horse; they hitched it to a dying horse. They need to do something — fast. They need Joe off the 2024 ticket.
For that reason, the Biden corruption news blackout has been lifted — but they forgot to copy Karine Jean-Pierre on the memo. Last week, she entered the White House briefing room for her daily therapy session with her fawning propaganda ministry. But she was shocked to be asked actual journalistic questions — proving that reporters know how to be journalists but just mostly choose not to be.
They peppered the press secretary for four whole minutes with questions about her boss's involvement in selling influence to the Chinese — otherwise known as soliciting bribes. It would have lasted longer, but she left — presumably to check her inbox for that missing memo.
Jean-Pierre's face said it all. There's Biden blood in the water, the sharks are circling, and whoever is calling the shots has cleared them for a meal.
The Nixon gambit is coming. The Dems plan to tenderize Joe for a few months with the realization that his life's dream, to be America's first emperor, is over. Then a somber contingent of party elders (which is all they've got) will make a trek to the White House to explain the political realities to Joe Biden. They'll help him see that it would be heroic and selfless for him to bow out of the 2024 race — for the good of his beloved Democrat party.
But they will have fundamentally misjudged the situation and the man. Does beating the odds in the midterm election make Joe more or less likely to step down? He thinks he's a winner, because they've told him so.
Then there's also the matter of Joe Biden's character. Joe Biden is no Richard Nixon — and I don't mean that in the good way. He isn't going to do anything for the good of the party or the nation, because Joe doesn't love anything but Joe. He has never done anything to selflessly benefit anyone whose last name isn't Biden. He hasn't even acknowledged his youngest granddaughter, because she's not a Biden — at least not in name.
The monster that the Democrats created has a say in this matter of stepping down. The way Biden snaps at reporters and citizens shows that he is emotionally stunted. He never learned self-control. Is calling a voter, whose vote he needs, a "lying dog-faced pony soldier" an act of maturity? He's a man-child who has been coddled by the sycophants who maintain a protective perimeter around him, for his entire 50-year career.
If you give a child unlimited power, no moral compass, and then tell him he has to share his toys, how would you expect him to react? He's not going to make a selfless act in service to others. He's going to throw a tantrum.
The Dems may be thinking they can use Joe's son to ease him aside. Use the same strategy that they used against Michael Flynn — threaten his son with more legal jeopardy if he doesn't step aside. But Joe Biden is no Michael Flynn, either — and I still don't mean it in a good way. This strategy depends on Joe actually caring about the welfare of his son, Hunter. That would be the son whom Joe used to facilitate criminal activity for decades, because he loves him so much (snark intended).
Rather than stepping aside, it's more likely that Joe Biden will give the party elders a good scolding, threaten them with a few F16s for "working against the government," and send them back to Capitol hill with their tails tucked properly between their legs.
That's when the Dems will realize that the only way to keep Joe off of the 2024 ticket is to get him out of office before their convention. That would require them to do the unthinkable: work with Republicans to impeach Biden, clearing the field for "Kackles" Harris.
Whatever they do, the Dems need to work fast. We're quickly moving back into the presidential campaign season — which starts earlier with every election. The longer they let this drag out, the more of their precious donor money Joe will waste. They are finding themselves between the rock of political reality and the hard place of a stubborn old fool who has never learned any limitations. Their panic will turn into depression any minute now — and I have no sympathy.

Dershowitz: Hunter Plea Deal Shouldn’t Be Accepted Unless Judge Calls Garland and Weiss to Testify
On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz argued that the judge who has to approve of Hunter Biden’s plea deal needs to call Attorney General Merrick Garland, U.S. Attorney David Weiss, and the six witnesses who whistleblower Gary Shapley’s legal team say can corroborate his statements before accepting the deal.
Dershowitz said, “[T]he judge who is sentencing Hunter Biden and who has to approve of the plea deal, must call Garland, must call Weiss, must call these six witnesses, and must say, look, Hunter Biden’s lawyers, we know you want the deal to go through. Justice Department, we know you want the deal to go through. But I’m a judge, I represent the people of the United States of America.”
He added, “The law provides that a judge need not accept a plea bargain agreed to by both sides if there is a problem here, and if he concludes, for example, that Weiss was denied the ability to investigate beyond Delaware, then the deal’s off. Because the deal probably ends any possibility of prosecution in the District of Columbia or in Los Angeles, and if those were foreclosed in violation of what Garland said would be available to Weiss, then the deal’s off, and you have to go back to square one, you have to conclude the investigation, and then you decide whether or not to make a plea bargain. Right now, the judge should not accept this plea bargain without hearing from Garland, Weiss, and the six witnesses.”
