As RedState reported last night, House investigators unveiled their most interesting piece of evidence yet related to possible bribery and financial corruption involving Joe Biden. According to subpoenaed bank records, two large wire transfers were made by CCP officials to the president’s home address in Delaware.
What made the situation even more suspicious is that the payments were made while Joe Biden was running for president. The claim that all this happened while Joe Biden was a private citizen without any interests no longer holds water.
🚨CHINA WIRES LIST JOE’S HOME AS BENEFICIARY ADDRESS 🚨
A few months after Joe Biden announced his candidacy in 2019, information available to the Committee shows Hunter Biden received two wires from China for $250,000 and $10,000, including from Jonathan Li.

The web gets even more tangled, though. According to reports, Joe Biden helped Jonathan Li, the man who wired the money, get his daughter into college. The two also had private, sit-down meetings. Further, some of the money was wired to Joe Biden’s address the day after he announced his 2020 presidential bid. The rest of the money came less than a month later.
White House officials are now desperately trying to spin the news as a nothing burger. Here’s Iam Sams, a spokesperson for the president, claiming that Hutner Biden was living with his parents during COVID-19 and the money was just a “paycheck.”
Imagine them arguing that, if someone stayed at their parents' house during the pandemic, listed it as their permanent address for work, and got a paycheck, the parents somehow also worked for the employer
It's bananas
Yet this is what extreme House Republicans have sunken to https://t.co/25bQuDwtcp

There are a few problems here, with the biggest one being that Hunter Biden was not living with his parents at the time the wire transfers were made. We know that because when Hunter Biden rejected a guilty plea related to his alleged criminal activity, he noted that he was living in California during that time period. In fact, he had just gotten remarried and was living with his new wife.
Also, and this is a big point, the pandemic did not exist in 2019, therefore completely nuking Sams’ excuse.

Past that, wire transfers from CCP-connected individuals do not qualify as a “paycheck.” That’s a ludicrous suggestion meant to make something very abnormal sound normal, and it leads me back to the biggest question in all this: What was Hunter Biden getting paid for?
Surely, if Sams is correct that he was all on the up and up, he’ll have no problem telling us what service the president’s son provided in order to receive such large amounts of money from the Chinese. Yet, that question continues to go largely unanswered outside of vague assertions about providing “legal services.” Hunter Biden was getting paid gobs of money for seemingly no reason at all. All the while, his father just so happened to be meeting with these various benefactors to talk about the weather.
No one is buying that explanation, and if House investigators have garnered this much in this short a period of time, you can bet there’s a lot more to come. This impeachment inquiry is going to be very interesting.
