Democrats claim Biden shady business deals probe is a ‘total bust’ as they ramp up war

House Republicans return from August recess ready to go after President Biden for his family’s foreign business deals – but House Democrats say the investigation is a ‘total bust’ that focus on Hunter rather than Joe in a new memo. 

‘Chairman Comer ’s investigation has conclusively disproven the Republican allegations against President Biden,’ declared top Oversight Committee Democrat Jamie Raskin, Md., in the new memo. 

‘The voluminous evidence they have gathered, including thousands of pages of bank records and suspicious activity reports and hours of testimony from witnesses, overwhelmingly demonstrates no wrongdoing by President Biden and further debunks Republicans’ conspiracy theories,’ the memo added. 

Raskin claims the evidence gathered is a ‘total bust—an epic flop in the history of congressional investigations’ that is meant to distract from Donald Trump‘s mounting legal woes.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy could move forward with a formal impeachment inquiry as soon as this month, he warned earlier in August – a threat Raskin pushed back against in the memo. 

An impeachment inquiry is contingent on whether Republicans are satisfied with the level of cooperation the Biden administration shows in providing evidence requested by the committee. 

Raskin claimed that agencies have cooperated plenty – but the evidence just doesn’t implicate the president. 

Comer ‘does not lack evidence – he has substantial evidence, but it shows no wrongdoing by the president and undermines the false GOP allegations,’ he said. ‘The Biden-Harris Administration has bent over backwards to accommodate Republicans’ often ridiculous and transparently political demands.’

Republicans have uncovered extensive evidence of Hunter Biden and other members of the Biden family receiving millions from foreign oligarchs while Joe was vice president, but have yet to directly connect any such payments to him. 

The memo warned Republicans against launching an impeachment inquiry without more concrete evidence. 

‘If House Republicans vote to open an impeachment inquiry in the absence of any evidence of wrongdoing, let alone the “high crimes and misdemeanors” required under the Constitution, they will once again be enabling former President Trump’s efforts … to return to power and avoid being held accountable for his pervasive crimes and corruption.’

Hunter Biden’s former business partner Devon Archer revealed to the committee last month that Joe Biden had been in touch either by phone or in person with Hunter’s associates 20 times over the course of 10 years – though Archer did not say the president directly spoke about business. 

Archer testified that Hunter was selling the ‘Biden brand’ to his associates, and just hearing the vice president’s voice on speed dial was enough to convince them to fork over cash. Emails and testimony have revealed that Joe Biden did attend dinner with Hunter, Archer and foreign oligarchs who paid his son on two different occasions at Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C. 

‘This is a transparent effort to boost Donald Trump’s campaign by establishing a false moral equivalency between Trump,’ said the memo, ‘the four time-indicted former president now facing 91 federal and state criminal charges, based on a mountain of damning evidence for a shocking range of felonies, including lying to the FBI, endangering national security by illegally keeping classified documents, and conspiring to subvert the U.S. Constitution — and President Biden, against whom there is precisely zero evidence of any wrongdoing whatsoever.’
