Hunter Biden on Wednesday testified to Congress that his father, Joe, was indeed "the big guy" referenced in an email pertaining to a business deal with a Chinese state-linked energy company that made the Biden family and friends millions of dollars. He denied, however, that Joe Biden ever received a 10% stake as was indicated in the text message.

"At one point, we asked Hunter about the 10% for the ‘big guy,’" Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told [Breitbart News ]('https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/28/exclusive-mtg-hunter-biden-did-not-deny-joe-biden-is-the-big-guy/')following the first son's six-hour, closed-door deposition.

"We showed him the email … And he said, ‘Oh, that was after my father left office.’" she told the outlet.
[]('')
Hunter then tried to downplay the 10% idea:

What’s wrong with having a pie-in-the-sky idea? When he [Joe Biden] left office in 2017, it thought he was done. I had no idea was gonna run for president. What’s wrong with just some pie?’ … thinking that he [Joe Biden] could be in the business. -[Breitbart]('https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/28/exclusive-mtg-hunter-biden-did-not-deny-joe-biden-is-the-big-guy/')

Greene said that Hunter insisted that "there was no percentage for my father in the business," and that the 20 speakerphone calls Joe Biden joined was considered normal.
"He was saying it’s totally normal for your parents to call you," said Greene. "He just totally kept on saying, ‘Oh, this is normal. This is normal.'"

Greene also [confirmed]('https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/28/matt-gaetz-hunter-biden-testified-he-joined-burismas-board-to-counter-russian-aggression/') Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-KY) statement that Hunter testified he joined the board of Burisma Holdings to counter Russian aggression. “He said he was picked to serve on Burisma ‘s board to defend democracy and Burisma was stopping Russian aggression,” Greene said.
Hunter’s stated purpose for joining Burisma’s board is a new claim that indicates bizarre reasoning never before revealed.
*In 2015, Burisma was under suspicion of money laundering and public corruption. Prosecutor Victor Shokin investigated the case before his termination due to pressure from then-Vice President Joe Biden, who threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government did not fire the prosecutor investigating Burisma.
Joe Biden later bragged about the firing during a 2018 appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations. -[Breitbart]('https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/28/exclusive-mtg-hunter-biden-did-not-deny-joe-biden-is-the-big-guy/')*

According to Greene, Republicans need to "get ready" for Democrats to fabricate another Russian disinformation hoax related to Hunter and the 2024 election - and that it would likely fit the media's existing narrative against both Trump and protecting the Biden family.

"I have a prediction that they’re gonna move it on to members of Congress like me and others, Jim Jordan, Jamie Comer, any of us that got hot and heavy on this Ukraine Burisma stuff, that they’re somehow going to say that Republicans are Russian sympathizers. They’re gonna call me that anyway, because I won’t fund the Ukraine war. They’re probably going to accuse us of being Russian sympathizers and falling for Russian disinformation and its election meddling. And then Democratic members of Congress here already saying they will not certify Trump’s election if he wins." -MTG

"It was there’s a really weird theme in there with the whole Russian thing," said Greene.
In November, the House Oversight Committee revealed that President Biden received $40,000 in Chinese funds which were "laundered" through his brother, James Biden, in a "complicated financial transaction" marked as a 'loan,' which took place just weeks after Hunter Biden threatened the Chinese with his father's wrath in a July 30, 2017 text message to a CEFC China Energy employee.

*The alleged 2017 transfer from first brother James Biden to the future president involves the same business deal in which Joe Biden was [called the “big guy” ]('https://nypost.com/2023/09/29/bidens-brother-frank-interrupted-meetings-to-take-calls-from-the-big-guy-report/')and [penciled in for a 10% cut]('https://nypost.com/2020/10/15/emails-reveal-how-hunter-biden-tried-to-cash-in-big-with-chinese-firm/') — and would be the first proven instance of the commander-in-chief getting a piece of his family’s foreign income.
...
The money ended up in Joe Biden’s bank account on Sept. 3, 2017, via a check labeled “loan repayment” from his younger brother, who partnered with Hunter in the venture. -NY Post*

"Remember when Joe Biden told the American people that his son didn’t make money in China?" asked Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) in a video posted to X. "“Well, not only did he lie about his son Hunter making money in China, but it also turns out that $40,000 in laundered China money landed in Joe Biden’s bank account in the form of a personal check."

This of course came on the heels of another "loan" repayment from James to Joe for $200,000.

On another subject, Mitch McConnell announced he was stepping down etc. Like him or not, his brilliance is now revealed as you watch Merrick Garland and his partisan ways. Mitch masterfully kept him from getting on the Supreme Court. He had the foresight to realize how bad that would be.

This should be a given. Pretty simple. Maybe, just maybe, confidence would be restored if this was for the entire country. Maybe folks would have faith in the process.

[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.foxnews.com/us/federal-judge-rules-on-new-arizona-voting-laws-requiring-proof-citizenship[/URL]

A federal judge is upholding new [Arizona laws]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/southwest/arizona') that would require registered voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship in order for their votes to be counted.

Arizona legislators faced accusations of discrimination when they adopted the laws requiring counties to verify the status of registered voters but, in a ruling Thursday, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled that such requirements were not discriminatory.

Bolton said the state has an interest in preventing voter fraud and limiting voting to those individuals eligible to vote.

"Considering the evidence as a whole, the court concludes that Arizona’s interests in preventing [non-citizens from voting]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/elections/voter-fraud-concerns') and promoting public confidence in Arizona’s elections outweighs the limited burden voters might encounter when required to provide (documentary proof of citizenship)," the judge wrote.

It's been like that from day 1 in Virginia when I moved here. Had to send in a copy of my passport (no clue where my birth certificate is) when I registered to vote.. They sent me back a Voter ID Card which I present when I vote.

except they haven't yet to find any wrong doing (that I'm aware of) in finding Joe guilty of. To quote Big Orange or whatever color he is this week "it's a witch hunt"................................

I mean really?
How about funding the government for more then a week at a time?
I mean actually doing what we hired them to do?
The whole lot needs to be kicked to the curb. Both sides.

It actually not quite that. They have a paper trail of the bank records for all involved, deposits into Joe's account. A small fraction of what is probably hidden away very well.
And yes, they aren't going to convict the old bastard...he has the swamp on his side

he's not my hero - I didn't vote for him - I didn't want either of these old codjeres near the White House. However having ended up with one of them anyway - I'll go with the one least detremental to the nation - for now....

I don't necessarily agree with what he's done - but the Reverend Jim Jones would be far worse. He brings out the worst in people. Thought he was an idiot prior to him getting involved in politics. Having gotten into politics it only confirms just how idiotic & destructive he is.

2 tiered system?

Give me a F------g break! What he's involved in/accused of would have sent ANY American citizen to jail. Talk about two-tiered (nice to see you can regurgitate popluar bullet talking points - get that from Fox?). And he continues to spout this drivel & for your people to regale in it is incomprehensible. You're decent. intelligent people - how can you bow to such a charlatan is beyond me.
Only thing I can attirbute it to is the Kool-Aid he's supplying. For whatever reason - I can't even grasp. You're obviously not stupid. But. You're drinking his beverage of choice I guess.

The man is as age handicapped as Biden. Of course you don't see that (kool-aid? don't know).

When & if Haley makes it to the VA primary - that is where my vote is going. She may not stand a chance unless he miraculously ends up serving time (let us pray) but I will NOT vote for either Dump or Biden (as I DIDN'T before).

I don't intend to reply any further to this as it will only be a waste of time. Both yours & mine. I've had my say & I'm done.

Carry on..............................

and of course the one that provided all of that has been arrested over fraud - so what's your point?

Have a glass of red....bank statements dont lie. Joes, Hunters, James, and the 20 shell companies. No reason for shells unless you're cooking the books.
As longcast said...read the transcripts if your so inclined.

The larger fact is that Ukraine and China...is a big old washing machine for money laundering and the Bidens/Clintons where in the center of it. Probably other pols as well. You can't see it...I can. Its just the way of the world now pols selling out influence for cash...and crypto.
