Uh-oh, creepy Joe mocked press and said, "where's the money"?--well, they found it in his accounts, suckers--what will the old pervert psycho say now?

Cong.-man Comer says he now has plenty of overwhelming evidence for exactly what creepy Joe and co. were doing, how they were doing it for their criminal bribery and extortion, "business," etc. So now the subpoenas go out to dear son, Hunter, bro., James, and maybe others, to give the gang an opportunity to explain things.

WENDELL HUSEBØ9 Nov 2023

The White House immediately objected on Wednesday to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) issuing subpoenas for the Bidens to testify under oath in December, calling the subpoenas “nasty personal smears.”
The subpoenas represent the next step in the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The president claims he was never in business with the Biden family despite evidence otherwise.
Comer subpoenaed Hunter and James Biden, along with family associate Rob Walker, to testify under oath.
Comer wants to question Walker, who “generally [has] been acting as a surrogate for H[unter] around the country and abroad pursuing opportunities,” about his receipt of a $3 million payment, which in turn was split between four Biden family members — Hunter, James, Hallie, and an unidentified “Biden.”
Comer also asked whistleblowers Tony Bobuliski and several family members to appear before the committee without a subpoena.

The family members include Sara Biden (James Biden’s wife), Hallie Biden (Widow of Beau Biden and Hunter Biden’s former lover), Elizabeth Secundy (Hallie Biden’s sister), and Melissa Cohen (Hunter Biden’s current wife).
“They’re all private citizens,” Ian Sams, White House spokesperson posted on X. “He won’t be, but Comer should be ashamed of desperately resorting to nasty personal smears like this.”
Comer’s Wednesday subpoenas come after he issued subpoenas for James and Hunter Biden’s bank records in September. The Bidens complied with Comer’s subpoena.
The bank records revealed evidence against Joe Biden, including direct financial links between the Biden family business and Joe Biden.
Evidence found by the impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden is growing. The evidence is here and here.

House Republicans subpoenaed Hunter Biden's art dealer and a Democratic donor who has purchased Hunter's paintings, among others on Wednesday.
Georges Bergès, who has been overseeing the sale of Hunter's paintings, will be called in to testify before the House Oversight Committee, as will Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real estate developer who paid big bucks for Hunter's amateur artwork.
Also facing new subpoenas are Hunter's former business associates Eric Schwerin and Chinese businessman Mervyn Yan.
The four new congressional summons comes on the heels of two unprecedented subpoenas to Joe's family - including his son Hunter and brother James - yesterday. It is a strong indication that Republicans are accelerating their impeachment probe into Joe and his alleged links to his family's shady business dealings.
Republican Chairman James Comer was quickly slammed for stooping to a 'new low' with the timing of Naftali's subpoena as her three-year-old niece was taken hostage in Israel by Hamas.

Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., wrote on X: 'Naftali's 3-year-old niece is currently being held hostage by Hamas, yet @RepJamesComer is spending his time subpoenaing a private citizen as part of his wild goose chase rather than working to return her family from captivity. This is a new low from House Republicans.'
The committee is also requesting interviews with Americore Health Trustee Carol Fox, business associate Joey Langston, Ukrainian-American businessman and longtime donor to Joe Biden, John Hynansky, and associate Jason Galanis.
'The House Oversight Committee is leaving no stone unturned as we investigate President Joe Biden's central role in his family's domestic and international business dealings,' Comer said.
In July 2022, eight months after Hunter's exhibition opened in New York City, Joe Biden appointed Naftali to the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad. It's not clear whether she had already purchased the art at that time.
The White House had previously announced that a team of lawyers had reviewed sales and kept purchasers anonymous as a way to avoid potential conflicts of interest when buyers handed hefty sales prices to the president's son.
Schwerin, Hunter's longtime business partner at Rosemont Seneca, visited the White House some 27 times during the Obama administration.
Membership of the commission Naftali was appointed to is unpaid and often filled by friends and allies of the president, much like ambassadorships.
Naftali is prominent in California Democratic circles. She's given some $13,000 to the Biden campaign and has donated $29,700 to the Democratic National Campaign Committee this year.
Last year she hosted a fundraiser that was headlined by Vice President Kamala Harris.
It's also not clear how much Naftali spent on Hunter's art. One single purchaser spent $875,000 on 11 of Hunter's paintings- though the identity of that person is unclear.
The buyer apparently does not reside in New York and is listed as 'out of state' in purchasing documents obtained by Insider.
The gallery received a 40 to 45 percent commission on the total $1,379,000 in sales.
The new subpoenas come after Comer slapped Hunter and James Biden with subpoenas as part of House Republicans' impeachment investigation into Biden family business dealings.
The committee has requested Hunter Biden come in on December 13 and James Biden appear on December 6.
Hunter's attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement the president's son would comply with the subpoena. He called it a 'political stunt' but said: 'Nevertheless. Hunter is eager to have the opportunity, in a public forum and at the right time, to discuss these matters with the Committee.'
Committee Chair James Comer is also requesting transcribed interviews with Melissa Cohen, Hunter's wife, Sara Biden, Frank's wife, Hallie Biden, Hunter's ex-girl friend and Beau Biden's widow, Elizabeth Secundy, Hallie's sister who Hunter is believed to have had a romantic relationship with while she was married, and Hunter associate Tony Bobulinski.

The Bidens’ Influence Peddling Timeline​

Link: https://oversight.house.gov/the-bidens-influence-peddling-timeline/

Since taking the gavel in January, the Committee on Oversight and Accountability has accelerated its investigation of the Biden family’s domestic and international business practices to determine whether the Biden family has been targeted by foreign actors, President Biden is compromised, and our national security is threatened. Records obtained through the Committee’s subpoenas to date reveal that the Bidens and their associates have received over $20 million in payments from foreign entities.
Below is a timeline that details key dates in our investigation.

The main points of interest are:

1) Romania: On September 28, 2015, Vice President Biden welcomed Romanian President Klaus Iohannis to the White House. Within five weeks of this meeting, a Romanian businessman involved with a high-profile corruption prosecution in Romania, Gabriel Popoviciu, began depositing a Biden associate’s bank account, which ultimately made their way into Biden family accounts. Popoviciu made sixteen of the seventeen payments, totaling over $3 million, to the Biden associate account while Joe Biden was Vice President. Biden family accounts ultimately received approximately $1.038 million. The total amount from Romania to the Biden family and their associates is over $3 million.

2) China- CEFC: On March 1, 2017—less than two months after Vice President Joe Biden left public office—State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese company, wired $3 million to a Biden associate’s account. This is the same bank account used in the above “Romania” section. After the Chinese company wired the Biden associate account the $3 million, the Biden family received approximately $1,065,692 over a three-month period in different bank accounts. Additionally, the CEFC Chairman gives Hunter Biden a diamond worth $80,000. Lastly, CEFC creates a joint venture with the Bidens in the summer of 2017. The timeline lays out the “WhatsApp” messages and subsequent wires from the Chinese to the Bidens of $100,000 and $5 million. The total amount from China, specifically with CEFC and their related entities, to the Biden family and their associates is over $8 million.

3) China- Bohai Harvest RST Equity Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd. (BHR): More information will be provided in our upcoming Fourth Bank Memorandum.

4) Kazakhstan: On April 22, 2014, Kenes Rakishev, a Kazakhstani oligarch used his Singaporean entity, Novatus Holdings, to wire one of Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca entities $142,300. The very next day—April 23, 2014—the Rosemont Seneca entity transferred the exact same amount of money to a car dealership for a car for Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden and Devon Archer would represent Burisma in Kazakhstan in May/June of 2014 as the company attempted to broker a three-way deal among Burisma, the Kazakhstan government, and a Chinese state-owned energy company.

5) Ukraine: Devon Archer joined the Burisma board of directors in spring of 2014 and was joined by Hunter Biden shortly thereafter. Hunter Biden joined the company as counsel, but after a meeting with Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky in Lake Como, Italy, was elevated to the board of directors in the spring of 2014. Both Biden and Archer were each paid $1 million per year for their positions on the board of directors. In December 2015, after a Burisma board of directors meeting, Zlochevsky and Hunter Biden “called D.C.” in the wake of mounting pressures the company was facing. Zlochevsky was later charged with bribing Ukrainian officials with $6 million in an attempt to delay or drop the investigation into his company. The total amount from Ukraine to the Biden family and their associates is $6.5 million.

6) Russia: On February 14, 2014, a Russian oligarch and Russia’s richest woman, Yelena Baturina, wired a Rosemont Seneca entity $3.5 million. On March 11, 2014, the wire was split up: $750,000 was transferred to Devon Archer, and the remainder was sent to Rosemont Seneca Bohai, a company Devon Archer and Hunter Biden split equally. In spring of 2014, Yelena Baturina joined Hunter Biden and Devon Archer to share a meal with then-Vice President Biden at a restaurant in Washington, D.C. The total amount from Russia to the Biden family and their associates is $3.5 million.

Democratic Donors Bought Hunter Biden’s Artwork, Gallery Owner Tells House Investigators​

But the art dealer stated he 'had no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden,' Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said​

A New York art dealer who sells Hunter Biden's work told House impeachment investigators on Tuesday that a cadre of Democratic donors have spent more than other buyers on the younger Biden’s pieces, according to multiple sources.
Georges Bergès, who owns a New York art gallery that has sold Hunter Biden’s art, told House impeachment investigators that Hunter Biden knew the identities of a few individuals who purchased his art, a source familiar with the interview on Tuesday told The Messenger.
The buyers, the source said, included Democratic donors Kevin Morris and Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali. Morris, a Los Angeles lawyer and personal friend of Hunter Biden who reportedly funded the first son's legal defense, is an art collector who accounted for a majority of the money spent on the art, another source with direct knowledge of the interview said.

Of the 10 people who have bought the younger Biden’s artwork from Bergès, three of them are Democratic donors, Bergès testified. Two of those donors were the art dealer's clients before buying Biden’s artwork.
The second source said Bergès never disclosed to Hunter Biden who the buyers of his artwork were. Bergès affirmed he did not target Democratic donors to sell Hunter Biden's paintings and that most of the buyers were not donors. The first source confirmed that it appears Hunter Biden found out about the buyers on his own, without Bergès revealing the identities.

House Republicans have taken a keen interest in Hunter Biden’s burgeoning art career. The interview with Bergès represents another offshoot of the GOP’s already-sprawling investigation into the Biden family. While the GOP has probed the president’s possible connection to his family’s business deals, the investigation has not revealed any evidence that Joe Biden improperly benefitted or influenced the business ventures.
Democrats argued that the interview of Bergès was irrelevant to the impeachment probe of Joe Biden, with Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., saying the art dealer "stated he had no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden."

"Hunter Biden made art that Bergès sold in his gallery, and President Biden had no knowledge of, or role in, these art sales," Raskin said in a statement. "It’s not illegal to buy and sell abstract art in America."
Republicans raised concerns after it was revealed that a prominent Democratic donor to President Joe Biden and the California Democratic party, Naftali, bought Hunter Biden’s artwork, a transaction that was first reported by Insider in July. The publication also reported that an unknown buyer purchased 11 works by the president’s son for $875,000.
Bergès told investigators on Tuesday that Morris, an entertainment lawyer and Democratic donor, was the person who bought Hunter Biden’s art for $875,000, one of the sources said.

Republicans have framed the sale of Hunter Biden’s art as suspicious and raised ethics concerns for the White House.
“Remember the art sales are going on while Joe Biden is president,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said on Fox Business in November. “So, we believe that this influence peddling scheme has never stopped. We believe it’s still going on strong during the Biden Administration, and it’s going through the art sales.”
But Naftali’s lawyer, in an August letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., pushed back against the idea that her purchase of the art was in any way part of a corrupt influence peddling scheme. The Messenger was first to report on Naftali’s representatives directly pushing back against GOP theories that the purchase was nefarious.
Bergès himself has in the past donated to former President Donald Trump.
“Any insinuation that her purchase of art was unusual or somehow improper is entirely unsupported,” Naftali's lawyer said in the letter. “To be clear, Ms. Naftali purchased the artwork solely because she liked the art, and the prices were reasonable.”

Additionally, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in August 2021 that the White House was not involved in any ethics arrangement between Hunter Biden and Bergès regarding the sale of his art.
“We have spoken extensively to the arrangements, which are not White House arrangements; they’re arrangements between Hunter Biden’s representatives and ones that we, certainly, were made aware of,” Psaki said at the time.
Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., told reporters during a break in the interview of Bergès that the investigation is “one of the biggest waste of taxpayer money I could ever imagine.”
“We’re learning very little that is relevant to the American taxpayer,” Goldman said on Tuesday. “It is baffling to me that the Congress of the United States is wasting its time with this deposition, talking about the sale of art of a private citizen that has no connection to the White House whatsoever.”
The investigators’ scrutiny of Bergès comes as Republicans have focused a spotlight on Hunter Biden. Just a day after the deposition of the art dealer, two House committees are slated to consider resolutions to hold the president’s son in contempt of Congress for skipping out on a subpoena for a closed-door interview in the investigation last month. While Hunter Biden’s legal team said he would be willing to sit for a public hearing with investigators, they refused the subpoena for a private deposition.

A source familiar with the planning told The Messenger that it is unlikely the contempt resolutions would get a full House vote by the end of this week, and that a move to get them past the chamber is more likely next week. However, if the House votes to hold Hunter Biden in contempt, it could set up a showdown over how the Justice Department decides to handle the charges against the president’s son.
