Timeβs Up: Treasury Finally Agrees to Turn Over Hunter Biden Transaction Reports
For years, members of Congress have asked for access to suspicious activity reports (SARs) related to the Biden familyβs foreign business deals. Those efforts were cut off by the Biden Administration and the Democratically controlled houses of Congress. Even after the GOP took over the House, however, the Treasury Department continued to refuse to turn over the SARs. While the GOP had to threaten hearings with Treasury officials, the department has finally relented. It now appears that time is up for Hunter Biden on the SARs fight and it could finally answer a number of questions over the alleged influence peddling of the Biden family. It may also put pressure on the Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is looking into possible criminal conduct by Hunter Biden.
I previously wrote about how few people in Washington are eager to expose the influence peddling by the Biden family. Influence peddling is the cottage industry of Washington. However, even by the corrupt standards of this city, the Bidens took influence peddling to an unprecedented level in raking in millions from foreign interests, including some with alleged ties to foreign intelligence.
The least eager group to see these transactions may be the media, which not only buried the Hunter Biden story but has shown remarkable disinterest in these allegations. Indeed, this alleged influence peddling could not have occurred without the assurance that the media had the back of the Bidens. Imagine what the media would have done with even one of these deals with foreign political or influence figures if a Trump child was the recipient. The genius of the Biden influence peddling operation was to make the media an early and active participant. They became invested in the denial over two years of belittling or dismissing the story.
The SARs are relevant to the scope of the alleged influence peddling. It could also supply added evidence of possible criminal charges over tax crimes as well as unlawful work as a foreign agent. There are also possible allegations of evading financial rules, false statements, and even money laundering.
Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R., Ky) has objected that the Biden Administration changed rules governing access to these reports that stood for more than 20 years. Comer has also subpoenaed Bank of America for financial records of three of Hunter Bidenβs business associates. That effort was also opposed by Democratic members. these inquiries will cover 14 years of deals and transactions.
Comer this morning revealed that the first SARs report shows money going from China to βthreeβ Biden family members including one not previously discussed as a recipient of such money.
It is not clear what these SARs will reveal, but the effort to prevent any congressional investigation is striking. This investigation goes to an alleged corrupt effort to sell influence. Many Democrats and legal experts have objected that influence peddling is not a crime. However, it is corrupt and squarely within the oversight authority of Congress. Indeed, if it is not a matter for criminal charges, such congressional action may be the only way to force accountability for corrupt efforts to sell influence and access. We will now have access to hard data on the dates, amounts, senders, and recipients of money transfers. That will reduce the speculation over the alleged influence peddling efforts and allow for a fuller understanding of what occurred in the Biden family business.
I don't come to this board as much as I once did because I think the discussion is futile.
I was caught up in the "conspiracy and scandal of the day" under Obama. I spent far too much time criticizing Obama. I was wasting my time.
Now, I see many (you know who you are) caught up in the conspiracy and scandal of the day under Biden.
You assume that anything that goes badly, is the result of Biden's leadership. Your blind hate causes you to ignore external factors. You also avoid the more important discussion, "What is the Policy?" e.g. What is the policy toward China?
Trump had no policy, which means he had no strategy. Whatever popped into Trump's head became the policy of the day.
Biden is trying to execute a true strategy toward China and he has rallied the entire US Federal Government in support. The Preisdent needs the support of the Federal Government. (Trump thought he could do it alone) - Deny China access to the most sophistacted computer chips by aligning the Netherlands and Japan to the cause - Bring regional pressure to bear on China by enlisting support of the Phillipines, Japan, South Korea, Australia and the list continues to grow. - Push Taiwain to do more to defend themselves. Taiwain's army is weak and their determination is low - through groups, like USAID, support emerging Democracies around the world. Teach them the lessons of countries that borrowed Chinese money, defaulted, and then were slowly taken over by China. e.g. Sri Lanka. When Democratic leaders emerge, they typically find their country billions of dollars in debt to China with no way to repay. - Push a campaign to discredit Huawei to disallow Huawei to bring 5G technology to the world, thereby denying Huawei and the Chinese government the ability to eavesdrop on all world communications.
Failed buyers remorse.
Both Trump and Biden have policy agendas. We disagree on our preference.
Energy Trump- open domestic production and cheap availability Biden- restricted domestic production and restricted, costly availability.
Border: Trump- control the border and number of migrants Biden- open border and flood the country will unlimited illegal migrants
Courts: Trump- Constitutional loyalists Biden Box-checkers who can't identify a woman
The list can go on but the issues follow the same pattern.
You regularly mock sources from left wing media while parroting right wing sources that have also been proven to be disingenuous.
Let's fisk:
You regularly mock sources from left wing media
Yes and no. I mock paid hacktivists every single time. Yep, all of them.
Holy shit. I just saw this. LMFAO.
You are the leader of posting things from paid hacktivists. To claim (and I'm not making this up) that you mock "all of them" is quite possibly the biggest lie ever posted on this board.

I agree in energy and border. The Willow project is approved. Slowly Democrats are coming to see the wisdom of securing borders and improving legal immigration.
The court appointments are no better than Obamaβs, equally invasive in the opposite direction.
If the FDAβs approval of the abortion drug is overthrown, that Trump appointed judge will have set America backwards.
So you just admitted that you are buying into Russian propaganda. That's what you are doing when you laugh at and actively spread horse manure like this.
I don't care about your opinion of Biden, you are free to feel and laugh at him for whatever you want to and trash his policy. Just don't be spreading Russian propaganda here. Keep that shit on twitter where it belongs.
