'The adults are back in charge," they told me.
The adults:
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, apparently investigating a president for corrupt business dealings all across the globe is just another instance of MAGA Russia collusion.
There's one teeny-tiny little problem with that.
Gee, I wonder why Putin would endorse Biden for president. Probably some elaborate game of 4D chess going on there to get his bff Trump elected.
Here's a little background as to why Jared Moskowitz was mad and wore the Putin mask.
From today's hearing:
At the start of this Congress, the Oversight Committee has investigated what product or service the Biden family and their associates were selling that would justify over $24 million in foreign payments.
We've reviewed emails, bank records, text messages, Suspicious Activity Reports at the Treasury Department, and other evidence normally compiled during an expansive investigation such as this.
The Oversight Committee has found no credible evidence of the Bidens providing any work product. The Committee has identified no legitimate value or document or even one single hour of work that the Bidens have provided their business partners.
What is apparent, after over a year of investigation, is that the Bidens do not work in any traditional sense of the word. They do not work as consultants. Or lawyers. Or advisors. The Bidens don't sell a product or a service or a set of skills.
The Bidens sell Joe Biden …
[I]n the course of this investigation, we have learned that Joe Biden has taken action after action to further his family's plans to get rich.
He shows up to meetings, gets on phone calls, shakes hands and tells people to "look after my family."
He goes to dinners with foreign oligarchs and a Ukrainian executive paying his son millions of dollars.
He gets paid with money from Chinese businessmen who he has meetings with and tells other business associates he'll see what he can do to help their situations. He writes letters of recommendation for foreign business associates' children.
The scam is simple. The Biden family promises they can make a foreign partner's problems go away by engaging the U.S. government.
The problems can be anything. A Ukrainian corruption investigation. Moving Russian money to the United States. A Romanian criminal prosecution. Access for China to American energy resources. Joe Biden shows up, shakes a few hands in front of his son, and says "take care of my boy," or something similar. And the money flows.
It's done over and over again. The Biden family promises Joe's power, Joe Biden shows up, and millions of dollars come into the Bidens' pockets. Joe Biden is the Biden family's closer.
How could he not be? The Bidens aren't doing any other work for these foreign companies that would warrant tens of millions of dollars.
There are only two explanations for this. The first is that Joe Biden knows exactly what he is doing, and knows a handshake, a wink, and a smile is enough for him to maintain, as Jim Biden called it, "plausible deniability."
Or Joe Biden is being led around by his family and has no idea who he is meeting with or what message he is sending and is truly "an elderly man with a poor memory."
There is no other explanation: either Joe Biden is complicit, or Joe Biden is incompetent.
Democrats are upset because Republicans are running an actual investigation that, unlike the million attacks on Trump, might actually uncover something criminal.
