Holding elected office requires maintaining all sorts of firewalls. The most basic of these firewalls is between a public official and the business dealings of his friends and family members.
Despite all the time spent in office, Joe Biden not only failed to uphold and maintain these firewalls, but he tore them down on every occasion.
Joe Biden phoned in and showed up to chat with his son’s foreign business partners. (He appears to have a history of doing this, also glad-handling his brother’s business partners.) When his people deny that Hunter was sending threats to his business partners in his name with his consent, it’s not credible because Joe had taken steps to erase the natural firewall that should have existed. Once the firewall was down, Joe Biden was entangled, the question is not whether he was entangled, but how much.
Not only wasn’t Joe Biden building the most elementary firewalls, but he was ignoring their existence.
House Democrats acknowledged Wednesday that Hunter Biden’s then-business partner, Eric Schwerin, handled President Biden’s finances for the duration of his vice presidency.
A spokesperson for the Democrat minority of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability told Fox News Digital that Schwerin, the former president of Hunter’s Rosemont Seneca Advisors and a frequent visitor to the Obama-Biden White House, served as then-Vice President Biden’s “bookkeeper” from 2009 to 2017.
The White House memo included a 14-page fact-check of Republicans’ claims made throughout the Biden investigation with regard to the president’s purported role in his son’s foreign business dealings and whether the Biden family used the former vice president’s public office for personal profit.
“Republicans’ own witnesses such as Eric Schwerin, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, said President Biden was not involved in their business dealings,” the White House said on page 13 of the memo.
“’In a March 2023 interview with Republican and Democratic Committee staff, Mr. Schwerin told Committee staff he was not aware of any involvement by President Biden in the financial conduct of the President’s relatives’ businesses, much less any transactions into or out of the then-Vice President’s bank account related to business conducted by any Biden family member,’” the White House continued, citing a paragraph from the Oversight Democrats’ memo in May.
Not aware is a weasel word that’s carrying a lot more weight here than the White House thinks it does, but let’s backtrack a moment.
Joe Biden is using his son’s partner as his bookkeeper. This is about as far away from a firewall as you can get. It’s not just that Joe Biden gets involved in his son’s business dealings, he integrates his own business dealings with Hunter’s setup.
There’s no firewall here, just the opposite, it’s a setup pleasantly situated to intertwine his affairs with those of Hunter.
Why would you do that? No politician with Joe Biden’s lifetime of experience in politics would do this unless they intended to benefit from it.
This is an arrangement that is inherently self-indicting.
Entanglement is the word. Been going through my mind all day.
That’s the problem with the world, entanglement. Politicians for example, get entangled with their own lies. Entangled with schemes to profit from office. Is the profit worth the hassle of the entanglement?
Bad guys and girls are always trying to get you entangled, for their own benefit.
Especially the girls.
But we cant’t say no to them, can we? 🙂
Yes, Biden but who caress about you Trump whores??
Una, why do you hate Trump so much? You know full well that he’s made the world a better place. He made Britain a better place along with America.
Please drop your irrational hatred and see reason.
I think you’re a decent person inside.
You can do it.
I wish she would describe some of her personal experiences that made her so bitter.
Say what? That is a female? I was sure that was a male! See my prejudice….I cant believe such hate is from a female. But then, it IS irrational hahaha.
More die hard lefties and Trump haters are female….or beta males.
btw, I am female, hence the crazy cat obsession.
I’m a cat guy.
Just like the Manson Family member said all my problems lay with people.
Yeah, Una is a chick.
Yes, it would be self-indicting if you weren’t Fauci indicting but that’s actually what you are.
Don ‘t waste your time they’re going to rub your face in shit
Because your complacency is all about that.
It seems Mark Levin’s [ and I suggest he be heeded ] perspective is that the blatant financial corruption being so rapidly substantiated is superfluous augmentation to the overwhelming necessity of Biden’s impeachment to attenuate the Republic crushing influx of illegal immigration Biden has promoted,
which has spiked tremendously as unmarked white buses are, right now, literally dumping thousarnds of illegals unannounced into America in Freedom Runs.
I doubt not we are targeted with politicide, the extermination of a polity, this polity, the United States of America..
Congress acts now, or we perish.
Climate emergencies are hoaxes.
This emergency is real
It seems Mark Levin isn’t a hypocritical piece of Obama shit if you don’t take him seriously. Few people would.
And it took three minutes to compose and post this analysis.
Yea. Biden’s entanglement with your travesty is irrevocable.
Comparative moderation wait times:
Ugly Sid. 1 hour an waiting
Una Salus. None
Yes or no.
Are moderation decisions decided by someone addressed as Marc?
Correction: It would be self-indicting if you knew how to extricate yourself from the MSM media narrative which you don’t and never will.
No more endless wars!!!
#Winning!!
You don’t even commemorate 9/11 anymore. That’s why your conscription stats are going on par with Europe. That’s why nobody respects you. Yay ,Trump turd who use 9/11 as a foil to distract from the fact the he stands for nothing.
He stands for himself.
Excuse me. he stands for the good life. But really, what else have you known?
I’ve camped out behind the industrial park I worked at, and been cold, hungry, and wet for months, because I was too proud (a sin, I know) to go back to my parents’ warm dry house with a full fridge, just two miles down the road. Yea, I know I’ve had it better than most humans that have walked this earth, and I’ve read enough history to know that, but you’re talking out your ass now.
I used to live in some bushes with the critters, brother, so I know what you went through.
It sucks but you get over it, right?
If they don’t even bother to hate you, you know that you are entering very dark territory indeed.
Are you Laurel?
Or are you Hardy?
She’s drunk off her ass, obviously.
Going nowhere to some undisclosed nothing. It will all work out fine.
And this is what we have and can’t even address it because so gay.
The fact is people could do much better than this Trump barf bag and they better because time is not unlimited.
Convert your message to suppository format for self-consumption.
Una, una una. Who? I voted for a California ‘liberal'(to my thinking), Reagan. Now I’m voting for a damn yankee NYC ‘liberal’, who’s more conservative than my GA governor. You want perfection, understandable, but you’re in an imperfect world. You decide for the best available, or nothing. And nothing from nothing gets you nothing. You know better, you just don’t like it. Don’t, but don’t forget reality.
Not to worry. The media faithful have been given their marching orders from the administration, so any self-indicting will never see the disinfecting light of day without the flashlights of Congress, and most of them need a battery change.
PSS ~ Una, stop drunk commenting. It’s not very ladylike.
Avoid wood alcohol .Or is too late for tha?
“Wood alcohol.” I had to look that up. It sounds very unpleasant., like tequila.
Una needs to refill HER prescriptions. Theres no reason to hang out here and argue like this. Its pointless and upsets her brain chemistry further. Also annoying. Another ‘skip over’ most of the time.
A working profile of an anti-Trumper.
Brain damaged.
Good article on those invisible firewalls. Most people realize that likely nothing will come of the investigations into Joe’s and Hunter’s business entanglements. The only interesting piece that’s left of this story is how the WH and its media backers will spin the evidence into gold for Biden.
Just look at Trump, and we see how great he was!!! When he said that he would do something, he did it!!! So much? After watching all of the people who want to be President, they are not close to what President Trump did ever thing that he said!!!
Donald J. TRUMP Got Things DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like what did he get done?
Like the infrastructure bill? That was the best talking point for Trump’s 4 years, right?!!! Wait, Biden got that passed? Never mind.
“Holding elected office requires maintaining all sorts of firewalls. The most basic of these firewalls is between a public official and the business dealings of his friends and family members.” — Not if you’re a democrat, or a rino. Then your family members collect all kinds of “consulting fees,” for you, and you get rich. Daniel, you’re speaking of how it should be, not how it is. I despise it too.
Why do you think that these Congressional Families NEVER leave”The SWAMP”?????
But by all means have your kids work in the White House, pay more in taxes to China than the US, and for God’s sake don’t sign a massive contract with Saudi Arabia for any reason, wait, what? $2 billion?!!! Yeah, get that money and we’ll dig up the laptop issue again as cover…..
This is so GLARING!It doesn’t matter if “Bite Me”pocketed a NICKEL!!!!This is like allowing Congress to trade in The Stock market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Biden with this Hands in the American Peoples Cookie Jar robbing us blind and the M.S. Media covering it all up their equally Guilty
Hmmmm, so from the gist of this article I guess its bad to have your kids work in the White House and sign a $2 billion deal with with the Saudis? Its bad to have a Chinese bank account? Its bad to pay more in taxes to the Chinese than your own country?
“Holding elected office requires maintaining all sorts of firewalls. The most basic of these firewalls is between a public official and the business dealings of his friends and family members.”
At your first paragraph I thought you might be talking about Trump and his hiring of his daughter and son in law……………..oops! FULL STOP.
I guess your “readers” don’t read.
