In the category of news that’s not news, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Fox News yesterday that recent subpoenaed bank documents confirm his and Senator Grassley’s conclusions in their 2020 report on the Biden family influence peddling scheme. While Johnson notes that the “clock had run out” on the Republicans’ chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee, he has called on the House to take up the torch and subpoena bank documents on what Johnson called the “grifts” of the Biden family, and perhaps recent revelations will keep that flame going. The only question remains, is to what end?
."..Sen. Grassley and I pretty well laid out the case against the grifting Biden family back in September of 2020 before the election. Our report was completely ignored by the media, just as they ignored the Hunter Biden laptop because they’re advocates for the left themselves. And so what we’re finding out now is just new pieces of evidence of the grifts that the Biden family have been involved with – the bank records that basically confirm what the Treasury records showed from Sen. Grassley’s and my report,” Senator Johnson told Fox.
Fox News had reported earlier this month that the House Oversight Committee had previously subpoenaed four major financial institutions for bank records related to the alleged “grift” by the Biden family—Bank of America, Cathay Bank, JPMorgan Chase, and HSBC. In a memorandum from Sunday titled “New Evidence Resulting from the Oversight Committee’s Investigation into the Biden Family’s Influence Peddling and Business Schemes,” the Committee on Oversight and Accountability Majority Staff says that the Committee recently obtained financial records related to Mr. John Robinson Walker, who they describe as “a Biden family associate.” The memorandum then states that Walker’s company “received a $3 million wire from a Chinese company in March 2017—less than two months after Vice President Joe Biden left public office—and that Mr. Walker then transferred over a million dollars to various bank accounts associated with the Bidens in the following months.” Various members of the Biden family are identified as receiving these transfers, including “an unknown ‘Biden.’” James Comer, the Chair of the Oversight Committee is expected to reveal that name at some unspecified date, building suspense for what could turn out to be the “big guy” himself, Joe Biden.
While the narrative for this influence peddling scheme generally describes Joe Biden as an agent of the “Chinese Communist Party,” even while his administration is preparing to wage war on China, Senator Johnson told Fox that the Biden family influence peddling operation sought money from the sovereign wealth funds of over a dozen nations. According to previous report, emails reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that sovereign wealth funds in Ireland, Oman and Qatar were also tapped by the Bidens family.
.".. our report shows something like a dozen different countries that Hunter Biden, was again peddling the family name, trying to sell influence. But I think, the trying to tap into sovereign wealth funds... is pretty revealing,” Johnson said. The Senator later rhetorically asked “[W]hy would they want to pay into the Biden family coffers and the Biden family grift? Well, it’s to gain influence. ... [T]he level of compromise of this president, I think, is just jaw-dropping.”
Given that the story of Biden family corruption was known during the 2020 election cycle, why is this being released now? That question should also be considered in the context of the four banks that have been subpoenaed so far, given their murky dealings in geopolitical matters—particularly Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and HSBC (formerly the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Corp., which ran the opium trade and eventual Opium Wars against China, along with JP Morgan). Notably, former FBI Director Jim Comey spent time at the British HSBC to supposedly take on the drug cartels before heading over to the agency and eventually playing a big role in “Russiagate.” And while Cathay Bank has been described as a “Chinese connected bank” (although founded in the United States by immigrants from China), it entered into an agreement in 2021 with HSBC Bank USA, N.A. to purchase HSBC’s retail operations on the West Coast, including 10 branches in Washington and California. Are these exposes designed to reign Biden in, or push him into the next phase of WWIII—an attack on China? Or, are they just the latest phase of lame partisan posturing?
