“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 by most media outlets in the alleged multimillion dollar 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 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. A key witness said that he sat down with Joe Biden specifically to discuss these foreign deals with this son.
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 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. If you want to see one of the reasons why the public is abandoning the legacy media for new media, just look at this photo.
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, 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.

I remember where I was when I heard that John Kennedy was murdered. Over the years, we started to hear more and more about Kennedys death. Just curious, what will we find out about the Biden crime family over time. I’ll bet in the future people won’t believe what this bunch of grifters was allowed to pull off.
The ‘Liars Paradox’ is permanently attached to politics, and nothing less is expected. As always there are those that cannot or will not see fact that is counter to their truth as they see it. So, pertaining to President Biden the sides have been set on the teeter tooter of those that believe the lies and those that don’t, the weight of the facts will win out.
All Georges are liars.
COME ON MAN!!!!! Joey was just being a good diplomate by meeting with adversaries and the BAG MAN just happened to be in town as well. HAPPY ENDING for all, right?
And god save the queen..
It goes toward probable cause.
Even worse: it’s a eleven year pardon, not ten
Turley: you know better. How many times do politicians pose for photos with people? You claim that Biden posing for photos with whoever these people are PROVES he has “interactions” with them. It does not. It’s just like Trump posing with Stormy Daniels–does that prove that they had sex? Not according to MAGA media.
WHERE is the proof of the quid-pro-quo? Where is the proof that JOE Biden ever received any money from any of these people? How much money did he receive and what did it purchase? What specific favors or influence were purchased–what proof is there? There isn’t any–AND YOU KNOW IT–so why shovel the chum to the disciples? How much does Murdoch pay you to write these things?
WHERE is the proof of the quid-pro-quo? What specific favors or influence were purchased–what proof is there?

@Gigi: Turley: you know better.
Go ahead Gigi: say it! I Gigi, declare that President Biden never lied about his business relationships with his son’s ChiCom and Oligarch customers, and Turley knows that is the truth.
Or does the senior partner in Biden White House Crime LLC not allow you to say such things while paying you to post here as the third leg of The Three Democrat Marxist Stooges slapstick comedy routine?

“How many times do politicians pose for photos with people?”
The photo proves that Biden lied about meeting these people.
The lie is NOT itself a crime – and error that idiots like you make with respect to the Bragg nonsense in Manhattan.
You can not make lying a crime.
But the lie is admissible evidence of an effort to coverup a possible crime,
and a jury is allowed to infer that.
“You claim that Biden posing for photos with whoever these people are PROVES he has “interactions” with them. It does not. ”
As I understand these are photos taken in the whitehouse.
Not photos taken of Biden with someone at a campaign stop.
Alot of work has to be done just to gt into the WH mush less meet with the president.
Sorry Gigi, these are “interactions”.
Regardless, Joe did not say “I did not interact with this people.
He said he did not meet with them.
Clearly he lied.
“It’s just like Trump posing with Stormy Daniels–does that prove that they had sex? Not according to MAGA media.”
Correct – posing with Daniels does not prove they had sex. It does prove they met.
“WHERE is the proof of the quid-pro-quo? ”
“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.”
The above is not merely a quid pro quo it is actually criminal extortion.
“Where is the proof that JOE Biden ever received any money from any of these people? ”
There is evidence of that – but all that is necescary is proof that the Biden family received money – and that is beyond any doubt.
“How much money did he receive and what did it purchase?”
The Biden family received over 40M.
One of the things purchased was interfering in the prosecution of Burisma.
So, what John say is saying is that insinuation and allegation is evidence of a crime. This has been said for years and still no evidence.
The timing of the release by the National Archives is more than just curious. These photos have existed for many years. So why the delay?
So today’s incisive column: water is wet – and The Big Guy and the Soviet Democrat-Mainstream Media Marxist Complex told bold faced lies every single day. Breaking news!
Going to be a rough day at work for George, Gigi, and Dennis as the ringmaster of The Three Democrat Stooges.
So how will Gigi appear today to respond to a column pointing out that her employer, Biden White House Crime LLC lied?
To say “Okay, so my boss The Big Guy lied”?
Or instead, BBBBUUUTTTTT…. MUH TRUMPPP!!!! He lied during his campaign!

Did Biden lie to voters that he could immediately bring down the cost of groceries without having any plan for how to do it? What did Biden lie about that got people to vote for him? Trump’s handlers know that most Americans don’t understand the complexities of economics, but they know that grocery prices are higher, so they came up with the lie that “Trump will fix it”, complete with signs that said that, and tables full of groceries as props. A study showed that for 78% of voters the high cost of groceries was the biggest issue. Trump can’t immediately bring down the price of groceries–never had any plan for doing so–just another lie to get his way, and now, many of his voters have regrets as they fear what he will do to our economy and our international relations with his stupid insults against taking over Canada, Panama and Greenland. Just HOW long did Republicans hold hearings trying to prove a quid pro quo–only to come up with absolutely nothing in the way of proof that Biden ever received any bribes or conferred any favors on anyone in exchange? So, they pay Turley to write a little slime piece like today’s offering–keep shoveling chum to the disciples.
@Gigi Did Biden lie to voters…
1. Yes! To: lie to voters that the Biden Bribery Laptop was not his son’s, but instead just Putin election campaign interference disinformation?
2. Yes! To: lie to voters that he didn’t know the name of any of his son’s ChiCom and Russian Oligarch customers, much less ever spoke with them or met with them?
3. Yes! To: lie to voters that his son had done nothing wrong?
4. Yes! To: lie to voters that he would never, ever pardon his son?
5. Yes! To: lie to voters that not one of his generals told him he should leave a security force behind with his disastrous abandonment of Afghanistan?
It’s a long, LONG list of Biden lies to voters Gigi. Both long before Trump ran for office to provide you with an excuse, continuing through his time as Vice President prior to Trump, and then as former VP during Trump and then through his two presidential election campaigns after Trump.
Just tell your admiring audience I ,Gigi, swear that Joe Biden never told any of the lies to American voters on that short list provided.

Biden commuted the death sentences of all but about 3 people on federal death row–he did not pardon any of those under a death sentence because he opposes the death sentence.
Then why not commute the death sentences of the remaining 3 people? Biden doesn’t oppose the death penalty. He just applies it in the most politically expedient manner possible. Like you, he’s another festering hypocrite.
* ok, right, so why did he pardon 37 murderers?
Having your sentence commuted from death to LWOP is NOT a pardon.
Turls: you had multiple years, dummy investigations, the Hur investigation and what did the character assassination campaign you ran out of the offices of the Russian propaganda outlet you shill for get you???…
No charges on Biden, a failed peachment investigation and your main witness getting busted by the FBI for lying to them. Probably lucky you didn’t get charged as well.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, it was a fine play.
Turls, and don’t attempt to defend your character assassination campaign towards Joe Biden, the finest politician this country ever had, by claiming President Obama and then President Biden’s own Attorney General and FBI covered up his alleged criminality by running mock investigations and hiding evidence.
There’s a very good reason President Biden was not indicted while Vice President and the best Special Counsel he could find working in his employ said he could not recommend indictment of his boss, the President.

Congratulations to Sean Hannity and Ainslie Earhardt, who have just announced their engagement.
In the announcement they state that they “have placed god first in their relationship”.
Ainslie has always been very vocal about her deep Christian faith.

No suggestion you should choose to post anonymously. I have carefully read and re-read the link you provided. I did not see ANYTHING compelling anybody to post Anonymously, without bothering to pick a unique username to attach to their posts. Despite the fact you can use a unique username for your posts that provides absolutely no clues to your actual identity.
You, for example, could choose to post as Proud Seattle Democrat Groomer and nobody would actually know who you are. They would only know which of your posts to attribute to who you are as they formed a persona of what kind of human being you are.
With the link you provided in mind, do you have a rational and reasonable excuse for voluntarily choosing to cowardly post here each day as one of the many Anonymous posters who will not use a unique username?

I would consider using a unique username instead of anonymous if commenters generally followed the blog civility rule/policy or if Professor Turley and his team went back to the practice of generally enforcing the civility rule/policy.
Biden’s daughter never said that he raped her–why do you MAGAs keep repeating this lie? All she said, in her stolen diary, is that showers she took with her father were probably “not appropriate”–now, how does that morp into repeated rapes?
I’m not a Christian, but my understanding of Christian marriage vows is that it is “till death us do part.”

Funny, the man who boldly stood in judgement of Nixon is easily the biggest crook we ever had in the Whitehouse. Biden went on to suborn entire federal agencies in covering up his personal corruption. Nixon’s “Whitehouse plumbers” were small potatoes by comparison.
Joe will probably get away with it. Sometimes, the corruption is just too pervasive. When one looks at urban politics, one realizes the DNC has to function as a crime syndicate; otherwise, half of them would be in jail.
And don’t tell me about Adams and Menendez. Everybody knows those prosecutions were staged for political expediency.
Were we at war with China when the photo was taken?
Americans only win if these issues (done by both parties) results in “systematic” reforms to prevent leaders of either party from abusing these authorities.

In over 200 years of American history, Biden’s 2021 Chips Acts and other legislation, created the most jobs ever by any president.
Republicans opposed NAFTA (off-shoring American jobs) to foreign nations. Biden’s legislation “on-shored” more American jobs, more than any Republican president bringing manufacturing jobs back to the USA.
Biden is no angel and not perfect, but about 100% fewer felony convictions than Trump received!
no matter which sock puppet the above commenter uses, the comments are carbon copies of his many aliases including George, Wally, Svelaz, Sammy, Dennis Mc, etc
Per Chat GPT:
“Trolls often use sock puppets—fake online identities created to deceive others—on internet forums for various purposes. Here are some common tactics:
1. **Manipulating Discussions**: Trolls may create multiple accounts to support their own arguments, making it appear as though there is a consensus or widespread support for a particular viewpoint. This can mislead other users and skew the perception of a discussion.
2. **Discrediting Opponents**: By using sock puppets, trolls can attack or discredit individuals they disagree with. They might create fake accounts to post negative comments about an opponent, thereby attempting to damage that person’s reputation or credibility.
3. **Creating Confusion**: Trolls can use sock puppets to introduce confusion into discussions. By posting contradictory statements or engaging in arguments with themselves, they can derail conversations and create chaos within the forum.
4. **Testing Reactions**: Some trolls use sock puppets to gauge the reactions of other users to certain topics or statements. This can help them refine their trolling strategies or identify sensitive issues to exploit.
5. **Evading Bans**: If a troll is banned from a forum, they may create sock puppet accounts to continue participating in discussions without facing the consequences of their previous behavior.
6. **Building False Communities**: Trolls can create the illusion of a community or movement by using multiple sock puppets to interact with each other. This can attract unsuspecting users who may believe they are joining a legitimate group.
Overall, the use of sock puppets allows trolls to manipulate online interactions, create discord, and engage in deceptive practices without revealing their true identity.”

Weird way to say “Yeah, just on the serial thefts of classified documents from SKIFs over a 40+ year period alone, he committed dozens of felonies before Trump ever ran for office – but when you get to pick your own Special Counsel to give you a temporary probation (because he knows Biden would destroy his career if he recommended indictments) then nobody can say you’ve been indicted”
Temporarily at least.
You don’t seem to be familiar with New York law. Alvin Bragg’s prosecution is a “stretch.” We await the decision of the Appellate Division, First Department in the New York Court System.
The instruction manual for ending the Ukraine war has already been written.
It is the history of World War 2.
What happened to Hitler and Germany by Russia, bringing relative peace to Europe, could happen to Putin and Russia by Ukraine. Ukraine can be given the weapons it needs to invade Moscow, like Russia once invaded Berlin, thus bringing
peace to Europe once again.
This is my peace plan.
That plan is working so well in Kursk.
