CHA CON GIAN DỐI, CHỐI MÃI KHÔNG XONG!

Trong khi đài NPR cố che giấu mọi tin tức về Hunter Biden vì bất lợi cho thanh danh của người cha gian trá thì một hiệp hội đã kiên trì đấu tranh để đòi cơ quan quản lý thư khố quốc gia phải công bố một số dữ kiện là chứng cớ. Nhờ đó, công luận được thấy Phó Tổng thống Joe Biden hoan hỉ chụp ảnh với các thân chủ Trung Cộng do Hunter vận động - để kiếm ra tiền. Nhiều lắm.

Cái tội hối mại quyền thế của con đã được cha ân xá khiến giáo sư Jonathan Turley liếc vào khía cạnh pháp lý của cả hệ thống tham ô, được báo chí - vốn là 'tai mắt của nhân dân' - bao che thật kỹ!

Our Lying Eyes: Newly Photo Shows Biden with Hunter ‘s Business Associates Despite Past Denials
(Jonathan Turley - Congress, Media, Politics - December 27, 2024)

“Lies.” That response was a mantra for President Joe Biden, who denied ever meeting or knowing about his son’s foreign dealings. Despite the pronounced lack of interest in most media outlets in the alleged multimillion influence-peddling scheme, the House and conservative groups have doggedly pursued the matter and found overwhelming evidence that the President has repeatedly lied about his interactions with foreign clients. Now, a new photo further contradicts the President, who recently pardoned his son for any crimes committed over a ten-year period.

America First Legal has been engaged in a prolonged legal fight with the National Archives to get access to the undisclosed evidence. It recently won critical rulings forcing the release. The discovery includes this photo of then-vice president Joe Biden meeting with Hunter and his clients. It adds to an already ample photographic and testimonial record contradicting the President’s past denials.

The House has released records showing $27 million in payments from foreign sources to Hunter Biden and his business partners from 2014 to 2019. Hunter used official trips with his father to facilitate some of these associations.

Despite denying meeting with these clients or not knowing anything about his son’s dealings, it was later revealed that Biden was repeatedly put on a speakerphone with clients, attended dinners, and took pictures with them, including BHR Partners CEO Jonathan Li.

Joe Biden later wrote college recommendation letters for Li’s son and daughter.

In the summer of 2019, Li wired Hunter Biden $250,000 that originated in Beijing and had Joe Biden’s Delaware home as the beneficiary address.

There were diamonds as gifts, lavish expense accounts, and a sports car, in addition to massive payments that Hunter claimed were “loans.” There are messages where Hunter belies the President’s portrayal of a political witch hunt, including messages like the one to a Chinese businessman openly threatening the displeasure of Joe Biden if money is not sent to them immediately. In the WhatsApp message, Hunter stated:

“I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the Chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

After years of ignoring the influence-peddling scandal, the media is not likely to suddenly pursue the story. In the meantime, Democrats have praised or rationalized Biden for pardoning his son despite the fact that it covered possible crimes that might implicate not just Hunter but his father in corruption.

Only two out of ten Americans support the pardon. However, Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Senate majority whip, even called it a “labor of love.”

And, as we learned in a certain 1970 film, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry” . . . particularly when you have pardon power.
